Grottos and Bosses

Grottos
Grottos serve as one of the primary questing locations on the server. Grottos typically feature several levels of subterranean rooms and hallways filled with loot chests, monsters, and other features. Grottos serve as the primary location of many quest on the server.

Grottos are typically recognizable on the surface by a small, cube shaped building. Normally, a sign will be present by the entrance of the dungeon denoting the boss which resides within the final room, as well as the recommended player class level for exploring the grotto. The word dungeon can be used almost interchangeably with grotto during discussion.

Monsters
The monsters present in grottos are different than most of the monsters a player will encounter in the rest of the world. Monsters in grottos feature a variety of unique attacks, movements, appearances, and rewards. The armor and weapons available in vanilla Minecraft are not effective against most of these monsters. Therefore, it is recommended players acquire MMOCore equipment before exploring a grotto.

Bosses
Bosses are a special class of monster featured almost exclusively in Grottos. Bosses have abilities that surpass the regular monsters encountered in a dungeon. The name of the Boss within the respective grotto is often located on a sign near the entrance of grotto.

Bosses typically reside at the end of the grotto, which is normally the bottom most floor of the grotto. Bosses are recognizable by the boss bar they produce at the top of the player's screen upon the player nearing the boss. In addition Bosses can produce unique dialogue which will appear within the server chat. Unlike regular monsters, the health of a boss is displayed openly toward players on the boss bar.

Loot Chests
Grottos are filled with chests which provide rewards for the players. The value and power of the chest's contents is directly correlated with the recommended level for the grotto. Sometimes, the chest will be empty, but opening it will directly deposit money into the players account in lieu of items. Each chest is looted independently by each player. Meaning, each player has the chance to loot every chest. If Player A opens chest one and takes the item, player B can also open the chest and receive an item of their own. Chests are able to be looted multiple times, and will refill once every twenty-four hours.

Death
Upon dying in a grotto, players will be respawned to the surface level entrance room of the grotto. Players will not loose their inventory (unless killed by another player), but they will be fined a small in-game monetary fee as a result of death. Additionally, players will loose a portion of the xp they have gained towards their next class level.
