Mob Aggro

[Aeni]

What is the range of mob aggro and when do they aggro? I was running around in The Black Shroud, heading due west to the next camp and ran past several Dreadwolves and didn't notice anything. Kept running past crabs, puks and shrooms ... before I got to a section after a really, really long narrow corridor, and not encountering any Dreadwolf for a good couple of minutes, I noticed something on the minimap was coming after me ... REALLY FAST.

Next thing I know, I'm getting mauled by a Dreadwolf that's still at least a good 100 feet behind me, hitting me for around 600 or so and nailing me for good on the second hit. Mind you, I never stopped running all that time.

I don't know if that was a freak incident or just bad server lag and Dreadwolves ARE suppose to aggro you. Annoying as hell because my spawn point was halfway around the world (after teleporting to Gridania) with only one anima point to my name

Just make sure you are very far away and they are not looking in your direction!

Re: Mob Aggro

Agro range is very simialr to FFXI no major differences as far as I can tell.

It also feels like there is the distinction between sight and sound agro based on my wandering around the zones and many deaths. Although as a level 1 Conjurer I have no way to sneak or invis right now to prove this beyond reasonable doubt.

From my experience all wolves agro, all of them floating flowers agro, the stronger male deer agro, stronger puks also agro as do all demons and higher tier birds.

If they are suppose to aggro then it was just bad server lag. I went by those wolves and they didn't so much as even look at me and it was only after about 2 minutes later did at least one of them finally decided to come and kick my ass. And boy, did he haul his own ass across the map for that one!
