Season levels and rewards#
Health and all attack-damage values are species bases, not final damage. Health scales by 1.065^(level−1) and damage by 1.05^(level−1), also modified by server strength. Season elites multiply health by 2.5 and damage by 1.3 before additional elite abilities. Base kill XP is the coefficient × (2 + 0.4 × monster level), then modified by elites, server rates, damage contribution, level-gap reduction and weakness. Summoned helpers award no season XP.
| Level | Health | Melee damage | Elite health | Elite melee | Kill XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 4 | 50 | 5.2 | 24 |
| 10 | 35.3 | 6.2 | 88.1 | 8.1 | 60 |
| 20 | 66.2 | 10.1 | 165.4 | 13.1 | 100 |
| 30 | 124.2 | 16.5 | 310.5 | 21.4 | 140 |
| 40 | 233.2 | 26.8 | 582.9 | 34.9 | 180 |
| 50 | 437.7 | 43.7 | 1094.2 | 56.8 | 220 |
| 60 | 821.6 | 71.2 | 2054 | 92.5 | 260 |
Before server strength, area danger, armour and resistances; an elite’s extra abilities are on top.
Spawning & habitat#
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Caves |
| Time | Light-based; dark caves can qualify day or night |
| Pack size | 1–2 |
| Y restriction | 16 ≤ Y < 40 |
Underground generation bypasses surface biome filters, so suitable caves beneath other biomes can qualify. Y restrictions, lighting and space requirements still apply.
Spawning, light and season monsters — light, protection, player distance and population can still prevent a spawn.
Behaviour & abilities#
- Unseen and impossible to strike unless it stands in block light of 6 or more, or in a miner’s lamp’s light; it can still strike you.
Drops#
| Item | Quantity | Entry roll | At least 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Iron | 1–2 | 100% | 100% |
| Coal | 1–3 | 100% | 100% |
| Raw Copper | 0–2 | 100% | 66.67% |
These are unscaled base rolls. A quantity of zero yields nothing. Elite/area modifiers, bag space and applicable material limits affect the result; a kill is not a guaranteed drop.
Eligible natural hostile kills also roll 3% for a seed, uniformly selected from ten types. Recipe rules: Cooking levels and costs
Strategy#
Torchlight or the lamp of a Miner’s Hat reveals it, so light the area or wear one and fight it while it shows. Carry plenty of light underground.
City siege vs wilderness#
This creature (or its summoned/split form) can also appear in the live city siege. The figures above are wilderness base definitions; siege strength, targets and loot use separate rules.
