Progressive Loot
Creatures on the Test Shard are NOT affected by Progressive Loot Bonuses.
Dungeon and Wilderness creatures now accumulate a Progressive Loot bonus of +5% per hour for each hour they remain alive, up to a maximum of +250%. This bonus increases the amount of gold dropped and adjusts the percentage chance for encountering Special and Rare Loot. These bonuses stack with all other available loot enhancements.
Ocean creatures and New Player Dungeon creatures are exempt from Progressive Loot bonuses.
For example, a creature that normally drops 100 gold and has been alive for 10 hours will now drop 150 gold due to the accumulated Progressive Loot bonus.
