Notes

  • What low level players should know about Incredibly Tough mobs (level 79-92) in beginner zones such as Inner Horutoto Ruins.
    • Why they are here:
      • After the level cap was raised beyond 75 in the Abyssea era, SE decided to repurpose some of the many underutilized low level zones into leveling camps for level 75+.
    • These changes should not disrupt new players:
      • Regular wildlife (Beasts, Vermin, etc.) will be non-aggressive. You can walk past them.
      • Evil creatures (Undead, Beastmen, Demons will still be aggressive and should be avoided.
        • You do not need Sneak and Invisible usually. Check for alternative tunnels where these creatures are not present.
        • At Inner Horutoto Ruins, the southern tunnel marked B on the maps do not have skeletons or goblins.
    • To look up the level of an Incredibly Tough mob, you can look at the zone pages on this wiki, or the Grounds Tomes in middle lands areas.
  • Summary
    • Deathwatch Beetle and Troika Bats: ignore them and they'll ignore you.
    • Goblins : If they see Sight you, they will attack. Stay more than 10y away (roughly half the width of the tunnel), be careful around (H-8).
    • Skeletons: If they hear Sound you or your HP Hit Points are below 80%, they will attack. Stay more than 10y away, these are also around (H-8), further ahead than the goblins.
    • The aggressive enemies can be avoided without Sneak/Invisible by using the southern tunnel marked B and staying to the left while going toward the Mahogany Door.
