Ok...I'm completely confused...I can usually figure this stuff out on my own but this one has me really stumped....

How exactly do you know what level the mobs are ??? At first I thought it was color coded but then got my butt creamed by some mobs in a mine...have been killed by an elite Fighter Mushroom...lol
Been 1 shotted to death by a yellow that I thought was my level....

How exactly do I know what level the mobs are ?????


thanks

Yellow = your level
Green = below
Orange = above level
Red = Too high.

Monsters in mines are stronger even though they are yellow. They are meant to 'guard' the place and they are more challenging then ordinary mobs. They should NOT be used to train on, they are mobs with higher strength like an elite monster or less, but the leveling system is colour coded. If you fight monsters in a specific area which is used for mining, boss killing, elite monster killing and such, they are gonna be stronger then ordinary monsters. That's why elite monsters and monsters in mines are stronger even if they are same level as a muchroom or something. They are meant to challenge you, and don't bother killing those for exp, they give too little exp (equal to another yellow mob but harder to kill).
If you got 1 hit shotted by a yellow, then you're either: fighting an elite/chief, fighting a cave monster (they are weaker then elites but they are still tough) and things such as that.
