- For it to count as a kill, the finishing blow must be made through a regular or critical strike with the Chaosbringer.
As long as the finishing blow is dealt with the Chaosbringer, the method(s) used to damage the monster are irrelevant.- WEAPON SKILL KILLS DO NOT COUNT. Must kill with a regular or critical strike as stated above.
- Enemies do not have to give experience points for them to count toward the 100 total including Too Weak mobs.
- Monsters weapon skills which result in killing themselves do not count towards the kill total
(such as Goblin's (Bomb Toss), Bombs' (Self-Destruct) and Bees' (Final Sting). - Abilities (such as Jump) that finish off the monster, do not count towards the kill total.
- Weapon skills against a 100% hp mobs give may credit, so long as the killing blow is a melee swing. Abilities like
Defender can help reduce attack to allow use of TP. Wild sheep are particularly tanky and can absorb a WS.
