==Mob Types==

A "mob" is an old programming acronym for Mobile Object Block.  Mobs are all computer controlled characters in the game, and is often used as shorthand for the creatures you're attacking.

Mobs are usually weak to their opposing element and strong in their own element. Opposing elements are:

So, if you see a wood type mob, your metal attacks will usually do a bit more damage to them than your other magic attacks, and wood attacks will do a bit less damage than other types of attacks.

Also, the physical defense on a mob will usually be lower than the average magical defense on a mob, though slightly higher than the element that they're weak to.

Non-elemental creatures simply have the same magic defense for all types of magic, and aren't any more vulnerable to physical damage either.

Mobs have certain default stats (which can be found on the [http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/ Perfect World Database site]), but those stats can be modified with various status descriptions shown below their name, which are explained below.

'''Common statuses:''' (One of these may randomly be seen on any normal mob.  These statuses make the mobs worth extra EXP and Spirit Points, with the exception of "Weak" mobs.)
* '''Increased Life''' - This mob has double the normal amount of health.
* '''Increased Defense''' - This mob is much more resistant to physical damage.
* '''Increased Magic Resistance''' - This mob is much more resistant to magic damage.
* '''Increased Attack''' - This mob does more damage with its physical attacks.
* '''Increased Magic Attack''' - This mob does more damage with its magic attacks.  (This can appear on mobs that have ''no'' magic attacks.)
* '''Increased Movement Speed''' - This mob moves much more quickly than a normal mob of this type.
* '''Weak''' - This mob has less health and less defense.  You also get less EXP/SP for killing these.
* '''Sacrificial Assault''' - This mob will do even more damage than an "Increased (Magic) Attack" mob, however it also has lower defenses and health like a Weak mob.  Kill them quickly and they're no problem, however, if they sneak up on you they can do a '''lot''' of damage quickly.


'''Rare statuses:''' (These are normally only seen on elite mobs that always have the same one or two of these statuses.)
* '''Elemental Immune''' - This mob is immune to wood, fire, water, earth, and metal magic damage.  Some mobs are only immune to one element and will have something like "Earth Immune" listed instead.
* '''Physical Immune''' - This mob is immune to physical damage.
* '''Immune to Damage''' - This mob is immune to almost all damage.  There are only a few things that will damage these, such as reflected damage from a [[psychic]]'s Soul of Vengeance buff.
