Notes

• The monsters you encounter here are solely determined by your total Monster Level increasers.
  • The extra ML caused by the rain depth during the Heavy Rains challenge path is not taken into account to determine the monsters you encounter in this zone.
• To finish the quest on this peak, you must reduce oil pressure by defeating the monsters. The pressure starts at 310.66 µB/Hg (microbowies per Mercury).
• Wearing dress pants increases the pressure reduction of each kill by 6.34 µB/Hg.

+ML	Monster	Pressure reduction per kill	Number to kill to finish quest (without dress pants)	Number to kill to finish quest (with dress pants)
0-19	oil slick	6.34	49	25
20-49	oil tycoon	19.02	17	13
50-99	oil baron	31.7	10	9
100+	oil cartel	63.4	5	5

• Appearance of a love oil beetle decreases oil pressure by an additional 6.34 µB/Hg.
• Adventuring with the Driving Wastefully effect from the Asdon Martin decreases oil pressure by an additional 6.34 µB/Hg.
• When Banishing a monster in this zone, you will encounter a Tumbleweed when attempting to fight the Banished monster. However, you can still fight regular monsters if your ML changes to meet a different threshold during the Banish.

History

• The revamped level 9 council quest, which includes this zone, was introduced on November 14, 2012.
• Prior to January 12, 2013, Monster Aggravation Devices did not affect the types of monsters encountered.
• Initially, the Rabid Dogwood from the Florist Friar did not affect which monster was encountered. This was fixed during May 2013.

• The unit of oil pressure, µB/Hg (microbowies per Mercury), refers to the song "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen.
• The message with low stats refers to the movie There Will Be Blood, about oil greed. It also refers to the phrase blood for oil, a protest slogan about the American-Iraq War.
