[ Return to Game Mechanics ] The second step toward rifling through a dead monster's pockets, after hitting them, is dealing damage. There are two damage formulas that are used by players, depending on what type of weapon is being used. Monsters have a separate formula.
A Moxie class's Moxious maneuver uses Moxie for damage calculations instead of Muscle.
Melee Weapon Damage Formula
10% to 20% of Weapon Power + (Player Muscle - Monster Defense) + Bonus Melee Damage + Elemental Damage = Total Damage
- When using Thrust-Smack, Lunging Thrust-Smack, or Lunge-Smack, only the Weapon Damage and Melee Damage are doubled/tripled, not the Total Damage.
Ranged Weapon Damage Formula
| 10% to 20% of Weapon Power + ( | Player Muscle | - Monster Defense) + Bonus Melee Damage + Elemental Damage = Total Damage |
| 2 |
- Ranged Weapon damage is the same as Melee Weapon damage, except using half your Muscle. With this penalty, it is possible to hit for 0 damage.
Monster Damage Formula
(Monster Attack - Player Moxie) + 100-125% of Monster XP = Total Damage
- Monsters can never do less than their XP value in damage unless Damage Absorption and/or Elemental Resistance are applicable. Still, hese effects are applied after Total Damage is calculated.
Notes
- A player with the skill Hero of the Half-Shell and a shield equipped will have their Muscle used in the above formulas instead of their Moxie.
