This page is in need of content.

Need a lot of missing locations, double-check safe moxies, all sorts of fun stuff

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

This page lists the minimum Moxie required to adventure in an area without being hit by the normal attacks of the monsters you will find there. This is determined by multiplying the maximum amount of experience you could get from the monster by four to find the monster's maximum level. Monster Level is the attack power of the monster. To evade every non-critical attack, you must have 10 more Moxie than the monster has attack power. These formulas were derived by the fine folks over at KoL Spading.

The table below shows the required Moxie for safe adventuring. By default, it is sorted by the standard Wiki location order, but you can select the box in any column header to sort by locations alphabetically, or by the Moxie required for safe adventuring. Thus, knowing your current Moxie, you can figure out at a glance the areas in which you're reasonably capable of adventuring.

Remember: All these values are the very maximums of the area's strongest monsters' hitting abilities. If your Moxie is only a few points lower than the value stated, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Monsters might hit you, but infrequently.

Note: Since the implementation of critical hits for monsters, all monsters have equally small chances to hit or miss you regardless of your Moxie. Adventure safely with this in mind.

Note: There is also some slight variability in monster attack strengths. It is entirely possible for monsters to hit you if your Moxie is only slightly higher than the values listed below.

Lower moxie limits

A monster's chance to hit decreases roughly linearly from 100% at (moxie-monsterlevel) <= -9 to 0% at (moxie-monsterlevel) >= 10. If your moxie is more than 19 points below what is given in the table above, the toughest monster at any given location will be hitting you 100% of the time.

If we simplify the damage incurred formula to 

 (Monster Level - Player Moxie) + (Monster Level * 1/4) = Total Damage

then (disregarding Elemental Resistance, Damage Absorption and other complications) the number of turns you can stay alive is 

                Hit pts                  Total HP
 Turns alive = --------- = -------------------------------------
                Damage      1.25 * Monster Level - Player Moxie

Attacking with Player Moxie more than 19 points below the safe level above leaves fewer than 0-3 turns in which to win the fight. For example, without other modifications, a 75 HP, 82-moxie adventurer fighting in the Haert of the Cyrpt would be hit 100% of the time, for 36 to 41 HP each time, and only two to three turns.

Special Zones

There are a few zones where adventuring is never truly "safe".
