Monthly Challenge¶
Every month has its own Monthly Challenge: earn monthly challenge XP from almost everything you do, and unlock that month's 20 rewards along the way. Say [Challenge to see the current dungeon quest, or open the month's challenge window from the Compendium.
Rewards¶
- Each month has 20 rewards in 4 stages, unlocked every 10,000 XP up to 200,000 XP. Claimed rewards go to your bank.
- Rewards are themed to the month: outfit pieces, a monthly pet egg, decorations, hued item tokens, a title, emotes, crafting benches and more. For example, October has Halloween outfit pieces, the October pet egg, pumpkins, a ghostly lantern and the title The Creep.
- Each month has its own leaderboard.
- XP is tracked per month, so a new month starts from zero.
Earning monthly XP¶
| Activity | Monthly XP |
|---|---|
| Killing monsters | creature HP ÷ 200 (1–75 per kill; you must be within 30 tiles and able to earn XP) |
| Paragons, lesser bosses | +15 |
| Mini champion bosses | +25 (and 3 Achievement Points) |
| Dungeon bosses | +50 (and 5 Achievement Points) |
| Boss top-3 damage (10%+ of the damage) | 2,500 / 1,500 / 500 |
| Treasure map chest guardians | guardian HP ÷ 50, more with Lockpicking (up to +120%) |
| Daily quests, weekly tasks, global quests | see Daily & Weekly and Global Quests |
| Invasions, Pit Trials | based on your score |
| Fishing, prize fish, Fisher's Guild turn-ins, sea chests | various |
| Bulk orders, dungeon idols, escorts, event NPCs | various |
Diminishing returns¶
All monthly XP is scaled down as your month's total grows:
multiplier = 0.85 − (this month's XP ÷ 1,000,000), never below 0.68
So you keep 85% of the XP early in the month, dropping to 68% from about 170,000 XP.
Other modifiers:
- Haven region: half XP.
- Danger Zones: kill XP is reduced by 25% (treasure map guardians aren't affected).
- February: +25% when you're near party or guild members.
The dungeon quest¶
Each challenge runs in a designated dungeon that changes every 6 hours (the window shows the countdown). Inside:
| Feature | What it gives |
|---|---|
| Evolved creatures | Some monsters are secretly evolved. Killing one gives HP ÷ 2 monthly XP (max 125), or all of its HP (max 250) while you have the Evolved bonus. |
| Evolved mini-boss | A much stronger mini-boss. Everyone with looting rights gets the Evolved bonus for 30 minutes. The top damager also gets +500. |
| Evil Totems | Destroy them for +5 each. |
| Hidden treasure chests | Walk near one to reveal it. Picking it summons guardians. The chest gives monthly XP equal to your Lockpicking + Luck bonus, and its loot improves with both. |
Totems and chests are refreshed every 30 minutes.
