Enemy Level<br />
Finding out if an enemy will attack you on sight or only attack in<br />
self-defense is your first step in determining how to approach that<br />
enemy. You also have to discover the strength of your enemy.<br />
Fighting monsters that are much higher in level than you is<br />
dangerous, as you will likely die.<br />
The tool tip and NPC portrait of a targeted monster also tells you<br />
the level of the monster selected. If the level of the monster in the<br />
tool tip is displayed as a skull and crossbones, then that means the<br />
monster is far beyond your level. You will not survive a battle<br />
against this enemy.<br />
Keep in mind also that battle against higher-level foes is riskier not<br />
just because they have increased health and attack, but also<br />
because they have a greater chance to resist your spells and<br />
abilities.<br />
Monsters are much deadlier when they fight in numbers, so even<br />
two opponents of the same level as you might be too strong to<br />
overcome. How many monsters you can defeat in battle also<br />
depends on your class and your skill.<br />
Tagging Enemies<br />
Once you attack a monster, you effectively tag it. That means you mark it<br />
as your opponent and only you will earn experience and the right to loot it<br />
if you kill it. Tagging prevents other players from swooping in at the last<br />
minute to kill your foe and steal its loot. You can tell if a monster is tagged<br />
by clicking on it and then looking at its name bar in the NPC portrait. If the<br />
color is gray, then the monster is tagged. If it is its normal color (red or<br />
yellow depending on its aggressiveness) then it is not tagged.<br />
Status Conditions<br />
During battle, many conditions might affect your character. You could be<br />
stunned and unable to take any actions; poisoned or diseased, and thus<br />
suffering from constant damage over time; feared and thus forced to flee<br />
battle; or cursed and weakened in some way. In contrast to the friendly<br />
buffs you or your party members cast on you, these afflictions are outlined<br />
in red to show their harmful nature.<br />
You can mouse over these icons to see what these conditions do and how<br />
long they will last.
