Game Mechanics: Mob fights

[Rhambuk]

Some mobs are supposed to agro each other, decaying skels against goblins gnoll pups etc. I just ran through ef and watched multiple DSs walk by gnolls/goblings.

It seems there is a gang war goin' on in Everfrost newbie zone were the gnoll pups and the goblin whelps have teamed up against te DSs. I have seen DSs goin' in a 3 skeleton conga line and jump the gnolls/gobbies. Soon after, the gnolls were doin' the same. Even though DSs have low HPs, they usually win one-on-one.



AND IN THIS CORNER

On Similair note a Charmed pet will get assistance from other mob of their type so long as thier target is not same type of mob. You could do this on live in North karan charm a wolf and have him target a bear and the other wolfs in the area would help him.

Pretty sure the Sarnaks and Gobs in lOIO still fight each other, or the did last time i was there.

This is kind of cool. Do all the wolves then attack you when charm breaks?

They will continue to fight amongst themselves until one faction wins.

This is why people exploited it so heavily and it eventually got fixed on PC side because bad players would utilize this exploit to gain AAs.

Yeah and you could use that same mechanic to start a fight between POD and kelethin guards.

They still do. It's fun to train the Goblin tunnels into Sarnak Fort.
