- On Aug. 1, 2005, Square Enix implemented a patch that made a handful of NMs and HNMs grow significantly stronger after they have been claimed by players for a certain amount of time. This term has become known as Rage.
- Rage is known to have the following effects:
- Dramatically increased attributes (STR, DEX, AGI, VIT, etc)
- Attack, defense, and evasion increased. (It is virtually impossible to hit a raged monster. When hit, the attack usually does 0 damage except in the case of magic damage such as Mijin Gakure or Elemental Seal nukes.)
- Monsters in this state hit for more damage (500-1000 when fully raged) and their attack speed is increased (comparable to a slow Hundred Fists).
- Magic accuracy and accuracy are increased (King Arthro's "Waterga IV" spell will regularly hit for between 500 and 1000 damage).
- Monsters in Rage status are generally considered unkillable because dealing damage to them is near impossible and they deal massive amounts of damage.
- Rage was implemented to prevent the holding of certain Notorious Monsters.
- Rage status will only be removed by allowing the monster to become unclaimed and letting it restore itself to full HP and normal status.
