👻Monster

Overview

Monsters in The Nine Worlds are built around custom stat scaling instead of default Ragnarok formulas.

Their durability, damage, defenses, and soul rewards scale primarily with:

• Level

• Core stats such as STR, VIT, INT, and AGI

• Tier: Normal, Mini-Boss, or Boss

This creates a system where stronger monsters feel meaningfully tougher and more rewarding, while early-game enemies remain manageable.

---

Monster HP

Monster HP uses a custom progressive scaling formula based on Level and VIT.

HP Formula

For most monsters:

Bonus HP =
(0.066 × (1 + 3.5 × Early²)) × ((80 + 5 × VIT) × Level^1.3 + 20 × Level)

Where:

Early = clamp((20 - Level) / 20, 0, 1)

This gives extra support to low-level monsters so they do not feel too fragile early on, while still allowing HP to scale naturally into mid and late game.

Tier Multipliers

After HP is calculated:

• Normal Monster: ×1

• Mini-Boss: ×2

• Boss: ×3

Special Case

• Guardians do not use this formula and instead receive a minimal HP adjustment.

---

Monster Attack

Physical Attack

Monster physical attack is calculated as:

P.Atk = 15 + Level + (2 × STR)

Magical Attack

Monster magical attack is calculated as:

M.Atk = 15 + Level + (2 × INT)

Tier Multipliers

After attack is calculated:

• Mini-Boss: ×1.3

• Boss: ×1.5

This applies to both physical and magical attack.

---

Monster Defense

Physical Defense

Monster physical defense is now based only on VIT:

P.Def = 2 × VIT

Magic Defense

Monster magic defense also uses the same rule:

M.Def = 2 × VIT

Defense Caps

Defense is capped by tier:

• Normal Monster: max 70

• Mini-Boss: max 80

• Boss: max 90

This keeps defensive scaling meaningful without allowing monsters to become overly resistant.

---

Monster Attack Speed

Monster attack interval is based on AGI.

Attack Delay Formula

Attack Delay = 1800 - (30 × AGI)

Caps

• Minimum: 900 ms

• Maximum: 1800 ms

So:

• slow monsters attack about every 1.8s

• very agile monsters attack as fast as 0.9s

---

Monster Attack Motion

Attack animation speed also scales with AGI.

Attack Motion Formula

Attack Motion = 600 - (8 × AGI)

Cap

• Minimum: 250 ms

It is also forced to never exceed the monster’s current Attack Delay.

This means agile monsters not only attack more often, but also animate their attacks faster.

---

Monster Experience Gain

Base EXP by Monster Tier

Monster Base EXP remains fixed by tier:

• Normal Monster: 100 Base EXP

• Champion Monster: 125 Base EXP

• Mini-Boss: 150 Base EXP

• Boss / MvP: 200 Base EXP

• Boss / MvP bonus reward: +100 extra Base EXP

Monsters do not grant Job EXP.

Instead, progression is tied heavily to Einherjar Souls.

---

Level Difference EXP Scaling

Base EXP gained is modified by the difference between Monster Level - Player Level.

If the monster is higher level than the player

Difference	Base EXP
+8	200
+7	185
+6	170
+5	155
+4	140
+3	125
+2	112
+1	105
0	100

If the player is higher level than the monster

Difference	Base EXP
-1	86
-2	70
-3	55
-4	40
-5	25
-6 or lower	10

This encourages players to fight monsters close to or above their level, while still allowing low-level farming with reduced efficiency.

---

Monster Souls Gain

Einherjar Souls are the main combat progression reward in T9W.

Normal Soul Quantity

The base soul amount is:

Souls = Monster Level × 3

Caps

• Normal / Mini-Boss base cap: 200

• Boss cap: 400

---

Tier Multipliers

After the base amount is calculated:

• Normal Monster: ×1

• Mini-Boss: ×1.5

• Boss: ×3

Then the result is capped appropriately.

---

Party Distribution

Normal Einherjar Souls are:

• split among nearby party members

• only shared with eligible party members near the monster’s death location

The system uses a fair split, including remainder distribution.

---

Rare and Epic Soul Conversion

Mini-Bosses and Bosses can convert their normal soul reward into a higher rarity reward.

Mini-Boss

Mini-Bosses have a chance to convert the normal soul drop into:

• 1 Rare Einherjar Soul

If this happens, the normal soul stack is replaced.

Boss

Bosses have a chance to convert the normal soul drop into:

• 1 Epic Einherjar Soul

Epic Chance

Chance = max(1, Level / 5)% , capped at 10%

Examples:

• Level 5 Boss → 1%

• Level 25 Boss → 5%

• Level 50 Boss → 10%

If Rare or Epic conversion happens:

• the reward goes to one random eligible nearby party member

• not to the entire party

---

Freyja Blessing

When normal souls drop, the killer has a chance to trigger Freyja’s Blessing.

Blessing Chance

Chance = LUK / 4 %

If it triggers:

• normal soul quantity is doubled

• Rare and Epic soul drops are not doubled

This effect respects the same normal soul caps.

---

Extra Boss and Mini-Boss Drops

In addition to souls, bosses and mini-bosses can automatically reward extra materials.

Warrior’s Token

Boss only

Chance

Chance = Level + 50%, capped at 70%

Examples:

• Level 20 Boss → 70%

• Level 50 Boss → 70%

Reward:

• 1 Warrior’s Token

• given to one random eligible nearby party member

---

Animal Gore

Used as a summoning material for divine creature content.

Chance

• Mini-Boss: 50%

• Boss: 80%

Reward:

• 1 Animal Gore

• given to one random eligible nearby party member

---

Old Material Box

Chance

• Mini-Boss: 5%

• Boss: 75%

Reward:

• 1 Old Material Box

• given to one random eligible nearby party member

---

Epic Soul Fragment

Guaranteed from Bosses

Every boss automatically grants:

• 1 Epic Soul Fragment

This reward goes to:

• one random eligible nearby party member

---

Important Notes

• Monsters do not give Job EXP

• Base EXP is fixed by monster tier, then modified by level difference

• Souls are the main combat progression reward

• Normal souls are shared across nearby party members

• Rare / Epic souls are awarded to a single random eligible party member

• Mini-Bosses and Bosses have meaningful extra drop tables beyond souls

• Low-level monsters receive boosted survivability through the early HP scaling curve

• AGI affects both attack frequency and attack animation speed

---

Final Advice

Monsters in The Nine Worlds are designed to feel more deliberate than default RO enemies.

Their stats scale in a way that makes:

• early monsters less trivial

• higher-tier enemies much more threatening

• bosses more rewarding not just in EXP, but in souls, fragments, and progression materials

Fight stronger enemies when you can. That is where the best growth begins.
