Anyone know?

I’m a nerd, I wanna understand the difference. I don’t understand what “monster base” means at all.

We don’t really know... we only know that it barely increases the strength of normal monsters compared to +monster difficulty...

One clue is probably how it affects objective spawns like shaman and four corners, since the effect is not apparent with normal monsters and even a bit hard to notice against EPs depending on the %. When you fight four corners EPs in a monster base difficulty event, it seems like you can tell more... at least from my experience last season

I'll take a crack at this, but pure speculation:

Lets say each mob has a "Difficulty" rating base which impacts say their stats.

Ex: Freaver base HP 10/Mana 20 Str - 10, Dex - 20, Int - 25, Vita - 15 (Base Monster difficulty could either be the sum of these stats, or just multiplicative of each them). SO event of 42% inccreased monster base x each could make them - Str 14.2/Dex 28.4/Int 35.5/ Vit 21.3

Whereas an event of 73% increased monster difficulty could be impacting all of the monsters stats, total hps and mana AFTER any other bonuses they are receiving . Not sure if I explained this well enough but this is a theory.

I'm sure someone else could elaborate or add to much better after some thought and comparing experiences in solo climbs, EP's, quests etc

I believe it is either increased health or defence to the mobs, they take a bit longer to kill but don’t appear to do extra damage

Lucky almost a week with weak mobs

Looks good with the max exp cap?

I guess it won’t matter with whistle mobs. But with eps it should help right?
