5/25 Classic Maintenance

So in a continuation of my previous post here's a few examples. The idea behind these is a slightly emptier dungeon with scarier monsters, they would have higher drop rates but are also not something you would expect to solo. I'd also like to add that these are a first attempt and could be any or all of the following: easy, hard, very hard or dumb. They're not supposed to be put in on their own as they're both melee type things and you can SW tank them to some success, so you'd want ranged/magic to help balance that out.

SinX monster (you'd want to increase its HP above lex fist range possibly other changes to agi/dex/vit) - http://db.irowiki.or...ster-info/1641/
Idle

Level 5 Grimtooth player 100% 0 delay

Chasing

Level 10 Soul Destroyer player 20% 5s delay
Level 5 Pulse Strike 20% 30 second delay

Attacking

Level 10 Meteor Assault player 20% 10s delay if more than 2 players nearby
Level 10 Sonic Blow player 20% 5s delay
Level 1 Pulse Strike 20% 30 second delay
Level 5 Agility Up 50% 25s delay if under 30% hp
Level 10 Poison Attack player 10% 5s delay
Level 2 Dispel player 1% 30s delay

LK monster (make aggressive, increase hp above 1 hit fist possibly by a lot due to its on hp% mods, lower its attack to offset power up, maybe boost int to ~110? depending on meteor storm/fire breath damage possibly lower vit) - http://db.irowiki.or...ster-info/1640/
Idle

Level 5 Spear Boom player 100%

Chasing

Level 10 Fire Breath player 20% 1.5s cast 15s delay
Level 10 Meteor Storm player 30% 1s cast 10s delay

Attacking

Level 10 Twohand Quicken 100% 120s delay has under 60% hp
level 5 Power Up 20% 30s delay has under 30% hp
Level 10 Fire Breath player 20% 1.5s cast 15s delay
Level 1 Critical Slash 25% 5s delay if under 15%
Level 10 Sightrasher 10% 20s delay if more than 2 players nearby

Possibly have it swap to meteor storm spamming at low health instead of firebreath auto attacking as an alternative to the weird Crit Knight that's going on here.

These would basically be one of maybe four monsters in the dungeon each with a sort of theme and some counters to each other making sure that people are moving forward with caution eg doing damage to the LK before being ready could cause problems and while its fairly tame before being attacked (lower attack, no 2hq etc), it still has a fairly hard hitting fire breath that requires positioning or a fire armor. You'd probably increase their experience slightly maybe aiming to award players with <an amount> of exp per hour and have a turnin available outside that rewards players with one of the following: base exp, job exp, <item/s> (item could be a GSB or two, seeds/berries or any of the stuff isamu suggested earlier really).

The main issue here is we have no real way of testing them right now, you could put things in from player suggestions and they could end up a breeze with people finding weird ways, stupidly hard that nobody ever wants to go there or finds AI mechanics to exploit and just start working their way towards very easy rewards especially with increased drop rates for all the stuff. It's hard to tell how hard some of these monsters will be and how much damage their abilities do and even how often some of their things go off, you can probably theorycraft a lot of it but that's a bit much even for me.

Edit: There's also a bunch of possible trap/icewall/fiber things as there's no rude teleport, but it's fairly open now and I think it'd be cool to be forced to deal with things instead of the usual hey lets just leave it there cause its harmless or we have too many lets teleport any extras. You could maybe make it Gan itself on idle to remove anything holding it in place. There's actually a lot of really cool things you can do across the board, we could make some truly scary/fun/engaging dungeons if we had the chance.

If anyone else has any ideas of their own or criticism please speak up, the last Challenge Dungeon was a lot of fun and I'd like to see there be enough interest for it to be an ongoing event for Classic.
