| Monsters And Their Elemental
Traits |
So far the data
for this list comes from Vana'diel
Monsters, Allakhazam
and the Brady Guide.
Because monsters of the same type may aggro differently in different
places, that information is not included here at this time. Click
here for the creature chart (which monster families prey on
which).
Elements a monster is strong against are given
a rating between R (some resistance) and R50 (50% resistance). Skillchain
suggestions are based on the elemental strengths and weakness of
the monster alone, and do not take any other factors into consideration.
If you have any corrections or additions,
please post them in this
thread. Thank you! |
