Candle Ghost
Contents |
Official Description
An eerie spirit that brings chills to the living. Some believe that Candle Ghosts are born from the embers of burning hatred from dying monsters, but no one is sure of what Candle Ghosts really are.
Spawning conditions
Candle Ghosts only appear during the night or in closed (i.e. indoors) and dark areas such as dungeons. Once a player defeats a monster under such conditions, a Ghost Seed may appear at the very same spot the monster died. It could eventually be interpreted as the monster being spirited away. Then, depending on the player's strength and attacks (and skills used), the seed might transform into a Candle Ghost.
Although it's quite hard to click on Ghost Seeds to attack them, AoE skills can easily hit them. Ghost Seeds don't drop items if killed.
Characteristics
One of the unique characteristics of Candle Ghosts is their automatic level adjustment to a player's level and the average levels of monsters in that area. Therefore, no matter the level a player might be, a strong enough ghost can spawn nearby at anytime.
Candle Ghosts are magic users as they use magical attacks. Consequently, their defense tends to be rather weak and they are thus quite easy to defeat. Moreover, the amount of Exp they give usually gets higher with greater overkills. Using skills to slay them greatly influence the amount of Exp received: they give much more Exp than other monsters of the same level in case of overkills.
Besides bosses and captains, Candle Ghosts are amongst the rare monsters that drop gems. They also drop Low Essences which is a basic ingredient to creating first grade gems (making Low Essences the most demanded refining materials on the market).
Due to their unique properties and nature, Candle Ghosts are often seen as a source of extra and easy Exp (e.g. a bonus) as well as great targets for farmers.
