This is a set of tables describing how the different classes of mobs behave in general.

Key
NV = Night Vision, can see especially far away at night. (Use Invisible)
CV = Clear Vision, can see especially far at daytime (Use Invisible)
H = Hearing, senses people's movement, even if behind (Use Sneak)
V = Vision, normal vision and cannot see behind self (Use Invisible)
M = Magic, senses when magic is used near by (Don't cast)
D = Dying/Low HP, senses by scent people with 75%(yellow) and less HP
S = Smell, used for tracking. Monsters can not detect by scent but they do use it to follow a player after the player gets aggroed. (Use Deodorize)
  • Vision related monsters see a span of ~80 degrees in front of them; but their range is often very short.
  • Clear Vision monsters can sense you from far away if you are directly in their line of sight, but have less range for left and right of their line of vision.
  • Hearing monsters sense sound 360 degrees around them.
  • Magic also is sensed all around the monster, 360 degrees.

Notes[]

Some of the monster classes are not aggressive and do not link, these are often the lower level ones. Most HNM or stronger type monsters will also see through your sneak/Invisible abilities (see True Sight or True Hearing). Many are also non-aggressive unless a certain thing happens. Detectors will scan as "not a challenge", however if you are seen they will summon something strong to attack you. Anyways, use caution.

Any mob that aggroes normally (if they're mid EP or higher) will aggro you if you are resting in their detection, even if they're Too Weak to be worthwhile.

Sneak/Invisible do not overwrite themselves. The caster can recast Invisible (but not sneak) on themselves anytime (you do not have to remove the spell first) and not be seen. This is due to the order that the game deals with things- the act of casting invis makes it wear off, and then since you just cast invis you gain the effect of invis. If you need Sneak/Invisible but can't use magic or other abilities, use Silent Oils and Prism Powders instead. Also, you cannot be Invisible to open Coffers or Chests, and the act of doing so will cancel Sneak.

Some monsters have defenses and resists against certain elements, magic, and even statuses. They also have specific stat boosts. Try to use logic when fighting. For example: Antica are weak to Wind, chances are they have strong defense against Earth (which they do).
