Monster behavior has been altered in the following ways to counter MPK issues:


The conditions for claiming monsters has been changed in the following ways. Accordingly, players will no longer be attacked by monsters that they themselves are unable to attack.









Monsters' area attacks have been altered to affect the players who have incurred the notorious monster's enmity and their party or alliance members, rather than all players in the area of effect. Certain monsters will be exempt from this change.

The conditions under which the following notorious monsters appear have been altered:
・Castle Oztroja: Mee Deggi the Punisher, Quu Domi the Gallant
・Sea Serpent Grotto: Pahh the Gullcaller, Worr the Clawfisted, Novv the Whitehearted, Zuug the Shoreleaper

So uh what does this mean exactly do they have different spawn times or something? Does anyone know what has happened to these mobs?

so basically... if i cure 3 someone fighting an nm constantly n iget hate,i get the monster?

no. what is is going by is if it gets hit by an AOE it would attack the aoe person and a person who ran by and cast dia so the person who had more hate would loose claim because dia person claimed it last. this way if the person hit it with an AOE or attacked it but went to attack another monster or got agro and someone else tried to "steal" it they would not get claim untill they legitimatly had enough hate so it would not agro the aoe person
