==Elite Monsters==
==Elite Monsters==
Elite monsters are monsters which are 2 times the size of the normal monsters. They spawn at an approximate chance of 0.25% per monster killed (0.5% during Elite Monster Burning Time). This means that you can possibly get an Elite Monster to spawn after a few kills, conversely it is entirely possible not to have it spawn even after 1000 kills.

=====Mimic Boxes=====
In this stage, you have 22 seconds to eliminate Mimic boxes using normal attacks. Every attack, it deals 777 damage to the chests and the chests can withstand 10 hits (7770 HP). Every time it gets knockbacked, it will throw up bubbles. Bubbles are individual so you have to hit the chests on your own to obtain your items. Use pick up key to loot the bubbles.

;Note:
;Note:
For multi-line normal attacks, the mimic boxes will receive the relative additional damage but it will only throw up rewards equivalent to 1 attack. This is to a disadvantage to Demon Slayers, Dual Blades, Transformed Kaisers and Transformed Angelic Busters since their normal attacks deal at least 2 lines (so the mimic boxes receive more than 2 times the damage and so they die 2 or more times faster while giving inversely less rewards)

==Recommendations==
So, what is the most efficient way to hunt for Elite Bosses?
*Well, there are maps which are very popular for training so you may want to spawn at those areas (of course this means other players will do the same too). Alternatively you can form groups of hunters hunting at each map so when 1 of the map spawns, everyone in the group knows and they get to share the rewards (person who summoned will always receive 2 boxes if he is not in a party and he hit the boss for 1 damage or more)
;Plausible maps to consider (Level ranges are approximate, bolded maps are very popular training spots):
*'''Golem Temple''' (Level 10-25)
*Evil/Cursed Eyes (Level 10-25)
*'''Gold Beach''' (Level 30-45)
*'''Silent Swamp''' (Level 50-76)
*Stairway to the Skies I (Level 60-80)
*'''Sahel 2''' (Level 70-99)
*Roids in Magatia (Level 80-105)
*Toy Factory <Apparatus Room> in Ludibrium (Level 100-123)
*Dragon Forests in Leafre (Level 110-135)
*'''Entrance to Black Mountain in Korean Folk Town''' (Level 115-140)
*Kerning Tower (Level 145-164)
*Kritias (Level 180+, clear the prequests first)
*'''Twilight Perion''' (Level 190+)
*Scrapyard/Corrupted Tree (Level 190+)
*'''Arcane River''' (Level 200+)
*You can also use a high level character to spawn at higher levelled monsters since there will be lesser people there after excluding the low levels
**Note: Only efficient if you are funded since high level monsters have thick HP, which is a trouble for low funded high level characters, which in that case they are better off making a low level character and using it to hunt since lower level characters have little trouble killing monsters around their level or even higher level monsters.
;Plausible hunting jobs to consider (they are strong for low levels to hunt Elite Bosses easily, may be non exhaustive):
*Demon Avengers
*Demon Slayers
*Xenon
*However please do not overly hunt these bosses since you are limited to 30 boxes per day so excess boxes will be wasted as they expire (which means a waste of effort).
