Monster Design Guidelines

Trash Mobs

Use AttackSpecial3 values 0-2 for regular monsters that should use skills frequently (5s-1m).

Elite Mobs

Use values 3-4 for elite monsters with impactful abilities (3m-5m).

Boss Mechanics

Use values 5-7 for boss monsters with powerful phase abilities (15m-1h).

World Bosses

Use values 8-14 for unique world bosses and timed events (4h-7d).

​
Usage Examples

SELECT MobID, MobName, AttackSpecial3
FROM Monster
WHERE AttackSpecial3 > 0

​
Cooldown Best Practices

Items with the same ReqIg value share a cooldown. Use this to prevent players from stacking similar consumables.Example: All health potions should have ReqIg = 1 to prevent spam-healing.
  • Short cooldowns (0-2): Use for frequently used items like potions
  • Medium cooldowns (3-6): Use for buffs and utility items
  • Long cooldowns (10): Use for powerful items or teleport scrolls
For monsters:
  • 0-2: Regular combat skills
  • 3-5: Special abilities
  • 6+: Unique boss mechanics
Convert ticks to seconds for testing:
seconds = ticks / 1000

Example:
15000 ticks = 15 seconds
600000 ticks = 600 seconds = 10 minutes
The conversion is approximate. Server tick rate may vary slightly.
ReqIg values 7, 8, 9 and AttackSpecial3 value 13 have no cooldown (0 ticks).Use these for:
  • Quest items that shouldn’t have cooldowns
  • Passive items
  • Monsters that should spam abilities
