Swapping mobs in Forest of The Dead ??

so I was huting those huge spiders called Anrox and devil Bats in the area, 12k and 9k xp each, sweet....but all of the suddent they all faded and swapped with different mobs (zombies, etc..) and "corpse of deadman" on the ground....

why is that ? some sort of bug ?

i think its night/day time

Yes it is.. the mobs in the Forest of the Dead change by the time of in game day.. makes life interesting sometimes hunting there.

Nope... that is the magic of the "Forest of the Dead".

the other magic is when you are being attacked through a hill and you don't know where it is coming from. :p

edit; Heartfang, great avatar!

I have heard of those nukes true the hills, but never experianced them myself. only been killed there by reds a feew times :(

you like my cute little cat? :)

atrox
it changes to day time at 6am i believe
then back to night at 12:01 am
i usually moved to a safe place when it happens cause you never know how many mobs will spawn right next to you

yea they change at 12 when game night begins and change back at 6 with day. the other sweet thing is that the vampires that are there even at daytime grow stronger when night comes so its a nasty surprise when you have been killing them for some time and then suddenly you cannot do it so easily any more...

There is also a great quest there for both day and night mobs...So FoTD really is a nice place to hunt...Just be sure to hit a safespot before the switch ;)

The switch always changes my feeling from 'haha, I'm healing here pretty well for being on such a low skillset' to 'oh-em-gee'. Although nighttime is a good chance to proove that sleep is still overpowered - should that be landing on deep red mobs with sleep resist with a C Grade stick?

I do think I've seen the spider by daytime but never sure where nor if it was really dyatime - FotD is always confusing for me.

nah, no spiders by daytime.

i make my lvl form 68-76 only in FOD
if you reache 70 go deeper to the vampire.

i went 69-76 pretty much completely at fod
i would have been there at lower lvl but fod didnt exist back then :P
i would have been there till 78 but the xp is so good its always the first place you check for wartags

quick question
how many melee solo at high fod dureing night time?
i prolly could have done it just based on damage but aoe slow is kinda a killer for a duel boxed ws with a golem

1. Soloed to 76 at all times in fod, i'm sh though and I always had at least emp1. Would probably still be there some but i'm doing sub atm.

2. There are spiders that look like the Atrox in Hot Springs. Don't remember their names though.

:eek:

lol it might be "hot spring atrox"
not fully sure i havent been there for a while

A few of the other mobs also change mdef at night (stronger at night) and a few other minor characteristics. Corrupted Guards are one example of this.

Oh yes, the quests there are great, both the mat quests (one in village, one at port spot) and the one which gives the story of the forest.

Speaking of quests, there is a fun series of two for Pavel's Ruins which start in the Schuttgart blacksmith shop. These are probably low 50's.

the atrox in HS have strong mdef i think

They can be soloed but only for the sake of soloing (or doing your 3rd class change) not really practical for leveling.

Also, keep in mind that the vamps are dark resist (for those using dark attacks.

what are those " corpse of deadman " there for ? quest related ?

They are for necromancers and the like to click that lovely little "Corpse Life Drain" skill.

mobs can actually summon other mobs useing those corpses
pretty rare if you are a nuker but happens a fair bit as melee

That's true, they are summoned to the location of the corpse.

Necromancers can use those corpses to drag few mobs to them and use corpse burst. Strongest AoE spell, just needs corpse.

Same for phantom summoners. =P

most mobs in there are ranged nukers...I guess the AoE with corpse thinggy wont work...

or maybe you experts have your way to do that ? please let me know if that's true .

thx a lot

first thing i seen when i entered fod in C5 was ppl aoeing those mobs
not sure how they done it cause you are right alot of those mobs are ranged but possibly an overlord for silence or someone to kill the ranged guys

Kill ranged with death spike, draw melee to corpse. :o I'd assume.

hmm....could be easier just use death spike on the melees as well since there arent so many melees...

interesting..AoE....
