=== Strength of Red Scorpion ===

Wasnt the RED scorpion supposed to be a miniboss? that HP seems kinda low for one :o
--[[User:Bear|Bear]]

Cool, I was thinking about bosses too.
I believe that Red Guy is like a boss. There are too many snakes and spiders, a DRAGON should be a good idea for a boss. But ONLY ONE DRAGON, please.

=== Python program dbtowiki ===
This is a program to autogenerate a monster page in wikicode from eAthena configuration files.

dbtowiki without any arguments will use item_db.txt and mob_db.txt in the current directory to write a monster list in wikicode to stdout. To specify custom files, call: ''dbtowiki <mob_db> <item_db>''

Note: When changing all images to internal wiki images, I did so by hand and then modified the imageurls by hand, I just hope that I didn't manage to make an error there. Please remove this note when you re-generate the page (and/or fix the imageurls) and all imageurls are correct. Thanks. [[User:Thefox|Thefox]] 23:52, 22 January 2006 (CET)

== Agressive/nonagressive monsters? ==

Is there an easy way to list this attribute? [[User:Hoogli|Hoogli]] 21:02, 18 April 2008 (CEST)

:Another column for attributes (aggressive, cowardly, etc.) or name highlighting. — [[User:Jaxad0127|Jaxad]][[User Talk:Jaxad0127|0127]] 01:48, 19 April 2008 (CEST)

== Accuracy/Evade ==

Wouldn't it effective to put down the accuracy and evade rates of enemies as well? It would help take the guessing game out and prevent further deaths of players via play-testing. (Esp. mountain snakes)
Since I am making an evade character, it would be nice to know the % to hit so I can adjust my evade accordingly so I dont go overboard and be weaker than I could be.
