Special Animals

2026-10-14T06:13:23Z

Raivo: /* Werewolf */

=General Information=

During different times in Shartak special animals will come out to play. During [[Halloween]] whenever an animal is killed, the animal will gain the adjective zombified in front of its name. The animal has the same stats as the non-zombie version, but when killed, the zombie animal will be listed in the player's profile. Other than zombie animals, there are also other special animals at special times.

One exception to this category of animals is Re-Pete, who is always present on the island.

*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).

Upgraded Animals

2026-10-12T19:34:23Z

Raivo: Added Venomous Giant Spider

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

Animals

2026-10-12T19:34:16Z

Raivo:

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-09-23T13:42:06Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Toad */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Upgraded Animals

2026-09-19T05:00:02Z

Raivo: /* Armoured Colossal Crab */

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

Animals

2026-09-19T04:58:09Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Crab */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-09-19T04:54:10Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Spider */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-09-19T04:47:27Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Toad */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.

mainpage_intro=This is an information hub for '''[http://www.shartak.com/ Shartak]''', a browser-based massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
New players should read the '''[[Gameplay]]''' guide and perhaps the '''[[Tips and tricks]]''' and '''[[Requests for information]]''' pages.

The island of Shartak has been inhabited for several hundred years by native tribes from the villages of '''[[Dalpok]]''', '''[[Raktam]]''' and '''[[Wiksik]]'''. In recent times strangers to the island have appeared wearing odd clothes and carrying loud sticks. These outsiders have formed camps known as '''[[Derby]]''', '''[[Durham]]''' and '''[[York]]''' and have been joined by pirates whose '''[[shipwreck]]''' lies on the island's north shore. And now, on dark and stormy nights, the natives whisper tales of the shunned village '''[[Rakmogak]]''' and its terrible secret.

The strangers once stayed on the coast, away from the jungle, but now they travel inland in search of knowledge and plunder. It won't be long before they stumble across the villages and learn of the treasures of the tribal ancestors.|

Christmas

2026-09-05T05:17:34Z

Raivo: Added the in-game icon.

Christmas in Shartak is an event that starts around a week before December 25th and lasts for about two weeks. During the event, [[Santa]] appears in [[Hut#Santa.27s_grotto|Santa's grotto]] {{GPS|70|319|26|384}} along with a [[chief elf]] and two [[elf|elves]]. The hut icon also changes. Each character visiting Santa at his grotto can receive one gift during the event. Additionally, the description outside and inside Santa's grotto changes during the event. The NPCs are detailed in the Santa article and the grotto in the hut article.

{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; border: solid 1px #ccc; border-collapse: collapse; float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; width: 145px" |
|-
|<div style="background-color: #fff; border: solid 1px #ccc; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 3px; width: 40px">[[Image:Xmas hut.gif]]</div>The in-game icon for Santa's grotto during the Christmas event.
|}

=Santa's Gifts=
When Santa is in the grotto, a character can "Ask Santa for gift" once per event for 1 [[AP]]. If you attempt to do so a second time, you get the following message:
*''Santa says, "Sorry, only one present per person. Come back next year!"''

The quality of the gifts depends on how good Santa thinks you have behaved during the year. It is unknown if this is determined randomly, or if it is actually based on your character's actions, such as how many people you have killed or healed. It's also not known if other factors, such as your [[class]], affects what gifts are given.

'''Gameplay''' in Shartak occurs on a grid-like map of the island. Players participate and interact as outsider and native characters of various [[class]]es. The island is also home to many characters controlled by the system. These non-player characters ([[NPC]]s) include [[trader]]s, helpful [[shaman]]s, and various kinds of [[animals]].

While the game generally revolves around conflict between outsiders and natives, players are free to devise their own unique goals. There are good and bad ways of accomplishing certain tasks, but there is no right or wrong way to play.

== Mechanics ==

=== Action Points ===
Characters rely on '''Action Points''' ('''AP''') to perform almost all actions in the game, such as moving, speaking, writing, fighting, searching, and trading (see explanations below). Most actions cost 1 AP. When a character's AP reaches 0, they rest and are temporarily unable to do anything.

One AP is replenished every 20 minutes; in 24 hours, a character regains 72 AP. Most [[class]]es cannot exceed 75 AP, but scouts and explorers have a maximum of 80.

Some actions use 0 AP (such as dropping an item, attempting to heal a target that has full health, trying to search with fewer than 2 free [[inventory]] spaces, or proposing a [[trading|trade]] at a [[trading post]] — actually making a trade requires 1 AP). Others use AP in increments of 0.5 (e.g., speaking, moving over zero density [[jungle]], or tracking with ''[[advanced tracking]]'' for 1.5 AP). Every 10 minutes, your character regains 0.5 AP.

If you run out of AP, the game will tell you how many minutes you have to wait until you get another one. Some activities cannot be performed if they would send you into negative AP (e.g., [[Death|contacting a shaman]]). Other actions (like moving through swampy [[terrain]] or swimming) can send you into negative AP, in which case you will be unable to act until your AP becomes positive again.

If you have multiple characters and have them cooperate, you will be "cursed". Actions will cost extra AP until the curse wears off. Curses occur because such behavior, termed "zerging", is widely seen as cheating. (See the [http://www.shartak.com/faq.html#curse FAQ] for more information.)

=== Experience Points ===
:''Main article: [[XP]]''
Performing certain actions earns '''Experience Points''' ('''XP'''). Players with enough XP can buy [[skills]], which improve a character's current abilities or grant new ones. The most common way to gain experience is to attack an animal or another player.

=== Hit Points ===
Humans and [[animals]] in Shartak have a limited amount of '''Hit Points''' ('''HP'''). Damage inflicted to a character (by other players or animals, etc.) will reduce their current amount of HP. Some [[items]], including all drinks and most fruits, will replenish a player's HP if they are consumed or used. If you're bitten by a [[Other_Items#Poisonous_Snake|snake]] or hit with a [[poison dart]], you'll lose 1 HP over your next few actions in addition to the immediate damage felt from the attack.

If a character's HP reaches 0, they [[death|die]]. But death is not the end; it is just another part of the game. Dead characters can play as spirits or can contact a [[shaman]] on the island who will assist them in returning to life. Contacting the shaman in your home village costs 25 AP, while contacting the nearest wandering shaman costs 50 AP. The AP costs are halved for characters with [[Peaceful Intentions Flag|peaceful intentions]].

Players can be harmed and killed even while they are logged out (asleep). You may sleep, but for other players on the island, life goes on.

== Generic actions ==

=== "Move" ===
Your character is located in the center block in the [[User interface|map grid]]. You can move into any directly adjacent block that has the "Move" button by clicking on it.

Movement through beach, grassland and non-heavy jungle [[terrain]] usually costs 1 AP, but with the ''trekking'' [[skill]] it only costs 0.5 AP (note that character AP display is rounded off), and ''trailblazing'' allows 0.5 AP movement through heavy jungle as well. Travel through swamp and water terrain is harder and consumes more AP per movement. Certain terrain can be dangerous: swimming in deep water can result in a [[shark]] bite, which can only be cured with a [[first aid kit]] or [[Healing_Items#Healing_Herbs|healing herb]].

Besides moving to adjacent areas, characters can also enter and leave huts, ship compartments, and temples found in their current location. They are also capable of climbing mountain paths and certain tunnels; see [[terrain]] for more information.

=== "Push" ===
Maximum density jungle terrain requires chopping down some of the growth before moving there. If you aren't carrying an item to chop the vegetation, you can attempt to "push" through maximum density jungle, but you will fail most of the time.

=== "Chop" ===
If you have a [[Melee_Weapons#Machete|machete]] or [[Melee_Weapons#Cutlass|cutlass]] you can chop down impassable jungle (level 10) in adjacent areas down to level 9. You can also "Chop Jungle" on your square. Passable jungle growth ranges from level 9 (dark green) down to level 0 (brown dirt). Chopping may cause your weapon to dull and become less useful for attacking and further chopping. All jungle (and [[camp]]) areas regrow vegetation over time.

=== "Attack" ===
You can attack other players and animals on your square. Use the first pull-down menu to select the target and the second pull-down menu to select the weapon you wish to use.

The number is the damage (in HP) you will inflict if you hit the target with that weapon. The percentage is your chance of hitting the target with that weapon.

On very rare occasions your melee weapon may either break (and be automatically discarded) or inflict extra damage: "Maybe it's luck or maybe it's skill, your attack is right on target and inflicts more damage than normal. You attack the tiger for 5 damage. It dies." Punches are also capable of dealing extra damage. (See [[special weapon event odds]] for related statistics.)

=== "Search Area" ===
No matter where you are, you can attempt to search your square for any [[items]] you might find useful, and on most squares you have a chance to find something. Your [[search odds results|success rate]] in finding items and the types of items you find depend on the type of terrain you are searching. The best search success rates are available in the medical and ammunition [[huts]] in each camp. (See a camp's page for the locations of its resource huts.) Searching costs 1 AP unless it's done in a swamp (in which case it costs 3) or you can't carry any more items in your [[inventory]] (in which case it costs 0): "You're carrying too much to be able to search. You need to drop or use something first."

An unsuccessful search generally does not mean that there are no items in the area, just that you didn't find any on that attempt. You can search any area multiple times and continue to find items (see [[How searching works]]). However, if the search results in "You find a broken knife, which you discard. It seems there is nothing to be found here." it means that there is nothing to be found where you are.

=== "x10" ===
Search the area 10 times in a row with one click. The button only appears if you have enough AP (10 AP in most tiles, or 30 AP in a swamp). Searching will stop if you run out of inventory space before the actions are finished. This feature was added in an August 2026 update.

=== "Speak" ===
If another player is in the same area as you, you can communicate with them by using the textfield next to the "Speak" button and then clicking the button.

All outsiders can understand each other, and all natives understand each other. But without learning the [[language]] of the other group (see [[Skills]]), it is difficult for an outsider to comprehend the words of a native and vice versa.

=== "Write" ===
:''Main article: [[Writing]]''
If you own a [[knife]] or [[dagger]], you can leave [[Writing|messages]] on huts, trees, and in the sand. These messages are not permanent, but they provide a means of creating temporary landmarks and communicating with other players. Outsiders and natives write in different languages.

=== "Make Signpost" ===
:''Main article: [[Signpost]]''
With two pieces of [[driftwood]], you can place a semi-permanent signpost in an outdoor location. Signs can be used to communicate with other characters (by marking directions and distances to important locations, for example). As always, outsiders and natives write in different languages.

=== "Look For Tracks" ===
:''Main article: [[Tracking]]''
Tracking skills let your character examine your square for the tracks of animals, shamans, and other players that have passed through the area previously.

=== "Trade" ===
:''Main article: [[Trading]]''
When inside a trading hut, your character has the opportunity to trade items in your [[inventory]] for those that the trader has in their inventory.

== Items ==
:''Main articles: [[Items]], [[Inventory]]''
Many items are fundamental to gameplay, including weapons, consumable items, and others. Items are stored in a player's inventory (which cannot be seen or accessed by [[Death|spirit]] players) and can be [[Trading|traded]] with the [[trader]] in each [[camp]].

Animals

2026-09-04T15:47:02Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Spider */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''

Upgraded Animals

2026-09-04T15:43:30Z

Raivo:

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

Animals

2026-09-04T15:42:45Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Spider */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.

*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-09-04T15:41:07Z

Raivo: Added Colossal Spider

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).

Upgraded Animals

2026-09-02T15:11:21Z

Raivo: /* Armoured Colossal Crab */

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

=Tier One Upgrades=
These animals upgrade after killing two players. They are slightly stronger, and offer a slightly higher XP Bonus.

Animals

2026-09-02T15:11:07Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Crab */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-09-02T14:57:23Z

Raivo: /* List of Animals */ Added Colossal Toad

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).

Upgraded Animals

2026-09-02T14:54:52Z

Raivo: /* Armoured Colossal Crab */

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.

Animals

2026-09-02T14:53:50Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Crab */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Upgraded Animals

2026-09-02T03:59:13Z

Raivo: Armoured Colossal Crab added

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.

Animals

2026-09-02T03:57:27Z

Raivo: /* Colossal Crab */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Raivo: Some info on the colossal crab

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Animals

2026-08-31T18:42:17Z

Raivo: Colossal Crab added!

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.

Upgraded Animals

2026-08-29T05:06:17Z

Raivo:

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

Animals

2026-08-29T04:44:23Z

Raivo: /* Large Stag */

=General Information=
Animals can be seen on the game map. They will attack reactively (and immediately) each time they are attacked by a player, but the player will only get a message if they hit. Their hit chance is much lower (roughly 20%) against ranged attacks ([[blowpipe]], [[rifle]], or [[pistol]]) than melee attacks.

Animals will also act on their own at certain intervals depending on their '''speed'''. They can act on two '''cycles''': at 5 minutes past and at 35 minutes past. When they act, they can either move, attack, or move and then attack. Most animals have "normal" speed, meaning they act once per cycle. Elephants and large stags have 1/2 speed, meaning they act only every other cycle, at 35 minutes past. Turtles and wild boars have 1/3 speed, meaning they act every third cycle, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past. It is possible that some other animals also have different speeds that have not yet been observed.

Most animals are passive and will only start attacking a player actively if the player has attacked them. They will then keep attacking the player at a frequency based on their speed until they are dead, the player is dead, the player runs away, or a different player angers them. Additionally, some animals can retreat if they are dropped to below 50% hit points after being angered. Other animals, including elephants, tigers, and wild boars, will attack without provocation. A player who sleeps near such an animal may wake to find that they have been mauled and possibly killed because the animal wandered across their location.

=List of Animals=
The following animals can be found at anytime during the year. There are also special animals around the island, some can only be found at certain times, or if certain conditions are meet. These links lead to those animals.

*[[Concealed Animals]] - These animals can never be seen, and the player can't attack them, but they still can affect players. These can be found here.
*[[Special Animals]] - Some animals only come out to play at certain times during the year. They can be found here.
*[[Upgraded Animals]] - Animals that have adjectives like hungry, fully-grown, ferocious or rogue can be found here.

Here is small description of what the following list tells one.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - The maximum number of hitpoints that the creature can have.
*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned, listing hits/attacks with 45% hit chance).
*'''Dodge Modifier''' - Some animals have a hidden modifier making them harder or easier to hit than your weapon's listed hit chance would indicate. If the animal has a dodge modifier of +10%, your hit chance is lowered by 10 percentage points (e.g. from 45% to 35%). If the animal has a dodge modifier of -10%, your hit chance is increased by 10 points (e.g. from 45% to 55%). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). There appears to be a minimum of a 1% chance to hit an animal: 3/329 attacks hit a rat with a listed 10% chance to hit.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.

=Attacking Animals=
When you attack an animal you receive [[XP]] equal to the damage you deal (with the notable exception of poison damage from [[blowpipe]]s, which grants no XP). Killing an animal yields an additional bonus of (5 + ''max HP'') / 2, rounded up (For example, if a monkey has 1 [[HP]] remaining when you kill it with a machete that deals 3 HP of damage, your action gives you 3 XP for the damage and 8 for the kill, totaling 11.)

Attacking animals is a great source of XP for new arrivals to the island, as new characters appear to have their listed hit chances doubled! This bonus appears to vanish after reaching level 5. A [[wooden club]] is the ideal starter weapon before gaining access to ''[[balanced stance]]''. Many players use their first several hundred [[action points]] doing little except seeking out and attacking animals, so that they may gain enough experience—and thus skills—to do other things effectively. Beware on the hunt, though, as all animals have been known to defend themselves, and some can tear you apart or stomp you to death very quickly.

Hunting is also done for sport by some, like the [https://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=744 Monster Hunters], and the various adventurers who seek the legendary giant squids.

==Recommended Supplies==
When hunting, be sure to take the following items to lengthen your survival time.
*[[First aid kit]]s/[[healing herb]]s - These will cure bleeding wounds so you don't bleed out all over the place.
*[[Machete]]s/[[cutlass]]es/[[wooden club]]s - Bring more than one since these do break.
*[[Knife]]/[[dagger]] - Good for finishing blows if machete damage would be excessive.
*[[Rifle]]/[[blowpipe]] - These deal high damage to the animals. Recommended if you are a [[soldier]] or [[warrior]].

==Punching animals==

Sometimes punching a large animal or aggressive one can yield these special messages.

* ''You attack the animal and miss. Suddenly attacking the animal with your bare hands doesn't seem so clever!''
* ''You attack the animal and miss. Pausing a moment to reflect on this, tackling the animal with your bare hands might be considered crazy!''

Christmas

2026-08-23T06:08:54Z

Raivo: Created a page for the Christmas Event.

Christmas in Shartak is an event that starts around a week before December 25th and lasts for about two weeks. During the event, [[Santa]] appears in [[Hut#Santa.27s_grotto|Santa's grotto]] {{GPS|70|319|26|384}} along with a [[chief elf]] and two [[elf|elves]]. Each character visiting Santa at his grotto can receive one gift during the event. Additionally, the description outside and inside Santa's grotto changes during the event. The NPCs are detailed in the Santa article and the grotto in the hut article.

=Santa's Gifts=
When Santa is in the grotto, a character can "Ask Santa for gift" once per event for 1 [[AP]]. If you attempt to do so a second time, you get the following message:
*''Santa says, "Sorry, only one present per person. Come back next year!"''

The quality of the gifts depends on how good Santa thinks you have behaved during the year. It is unknown if this is determined randomly, or if it is actually based on your character's actions, such as how many people you have killed or healed. It's also not known if other factors, such as your [[class]], affects what gifts are given.

When you ask for a gift, you will get three lines of text, for example:
*''Santa says, "You've been (very naughty/quite naughty/somewhat good/quite good/very good/especially good) this year!"''
*''Santa says, "Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! I don't have a toy train so go and buy yourself something nice from your trader instead."''
*''Santa gives you 60 gold coins and a bullet.''

==List of Known Gifts==
Here is a non-comprehensive list of possible gifts that can be given by Santa.
* 60 gold coins and a heavy sword.
* 60 gold coins and a bullet.
* 60 gold coins and a parrot feather charm.
* 60 gold coins and a gem.
* 60 gold and a monkey claw charm.
* 40 gold coins and a bottle of pumpkin juice.
* 40 gold coins and a tiger tooth amulet.
* 40 gold coins and a rabbit foot charm.
* 20 gold coins and 20 poison darts.
* 20 gold coins and 20 rifle bullets.
* 15 gold coins and a shovel.
* crab.

'''Huts''' are generally found in [[camp]]s, but some have been found in other [[locations]]. Players can enter or leave a hut for 1 AP. A player inside a hut can no longer see any outside squares. The map shrinks to a 3x3 grid, that only reveals the hut interior and a grey border. There is no maximum to the number of players that can fit inside one hut.

Huts tend to look the same on the outside, but each one has its own description inside. Upon entering a hut, you may find that it is "empty" or "dishevelled" or quite possibly something else entirely.

Players can carve [[Writing|messages]] on the outside and inside of huts. The interiors of huts can be searched for 1 AP. Certain huts are known to provide [[items]] more frequently than other locations.

Each [[camp]] has a [[trading]] hut. Although items cannot be found by searches in the trading hut, any item can be sold here, and each trader sells from a stock that includes local goods as well as items traded in by other characters. Trading huts recieved their own special icon in August of 2010. :''Main article: [[Trading]]''

=Resource huts=
[[Dalpok]], [[Derby]], [[Durham]], [[Rakmogak]], [[Raktam]], [[Wiksik]], and [[York]] have a Medical hut and a Weapon hut. Every camp has a Trading hut.

=Santa's grotto=
[[Santa]]'s grotto {{GPS|70|319|26|384}} is the only hut that does not belong to a camp. It appears nothing can be found. The description inside and outside the hut changes on [[Christmas]].
===Outside Description===
:'''Normally:''' ''A wooden hut can be seen here.''

===Inside Description===
:'''Normally:''' ''There is a large well-worn chair and some boxes labelled "decorations" pushed into the corner.''
:'''During Christmas event:''' ''Whilst appearing as a wooden hut from the outside, you find inside there are wonderful festive decorations hanging on the walls and from the ceiling. You can also see a large empty chair where the man himself sits while dealing with those wanting gifts.''

=Custom Huts=
With a donation of a few dollars a month, a player can create a custom hut in a village. There can only ever be two custom huts in a village, and they tend to have a different graphic, and a unique description. They also have unique items that show up in one's profile.

Santa Claus

2026-08-23T05:42:30Z

Raivo:

Every year around [[Christmas]], a mysterious being called [https://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=npc-1436 Santa Claus] visits Shartak and gives presents to all residents of Shartak who visit him in his grotto at {{GPS|70|319|26|384}}. Santa and his two elves stay for a little while and then they leave as suddenly as they appeared.

Santa gives out gifts (once per person) via the use of an "Ask for gift" button. Those who Santa deems to have behaved well are given better gifts than those who have been naughty. There have been rumours that the very good receive the legendary [[heavy sword]]. Vice versa, the very bad might receive a [[crab]]. More commonly, those seeking gifts receive common, low valued gifts that some argue breeds dissatisfaction and resentment against Santa and his Elves.

It appears that killing Santa and his elves may become a yearly tradition in Shartak, despite Santa beginning to fight back, recruiting a [https://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=npc-2436 chief elf] to assist him in doing so. Numerous want-to-be killers of Santa have fallen to the old man's punches, while others who have killed Santa this year have found themselves being hunted and killed for their actions.

=Stats for Santa and his Helpers=
Below are the stats for Santa and his helpers. They all will not attack unless Santa is provoked by an attacker.

Here's an explanation on what the categories mean.
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - Maximum number of hitpoints the NPC has
*'''Damage''' - How much damage they can cause
*'''XP Bonus''' - The amount of XP one gains from killing them
*'''Accuracy''' - Accuracy of their attacks
*'''First Year Appeared''' - The first year the NPC appeared on Shartak
*'''Bio''' - Short flavorful biography of the NPC

==Chief Elf==
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - 50

*'''XP Bonus''' - 28
*'''Accuracy''' - ?
*'''First Year Appeared''' - 2008
*'''Bio''' - The Chief Elf is the head bodyguard in Santa's Little Secret Service. Rumor has it that received special forces training and distinguished himself in the war against the forces of Jack Frost, and was the only member of his unit to survive The Battle Of The Island Of Misfit Toys. His real name is classified.
*'''Special Notes''' - Will attack one if that person attacks Santa.

==Elf==
*'''Max Hitpoints''' - 30
*'''Damage''' - 3
*'''XP Bonus''' - 18
*'''Accuracy''' - ?
*'''First Year Appeared''' - 2007

*'''Special Notes''' - Healing Santa yields double the amount of XP than usual. Will attack one if that person attacks one of the elves. Attacking Santa will disable [[peaceful intentions]].

=Yearly Visits=
===2006 Visit===
Details of Santa's first appearance in 2006 were recorded in the [[Shartak_Financial_Times/Issue_001#Christmas_Inflation_causes_Concern|Shartak Financial Times]]. At the time, the location of Santa's grotto was not widely known. Santa was not warmly welcomed by all, and his encounter with {{profile|2646|Nick Soapdish}} resulted in his death. Luckily for latecomers, Santa can also revive.

===2007 Visit===
Santa appeared again in 2007 on the 16th of December, but was killed shortly after his appearance by {{profile|1327|Tom Failur}}. After his subsequent revivals, he was also killed by a series of people, causing much aggravation to those who had not yet asked for gifts.

*List of Known Killers
Known killers of Santa during the 2007 Christmas season include: {{profile|1327|Tom Failur}}, {{profile|6268|kkk}}, {{profile|1081|S0S}}, {{profile|2646|Nick Soapdish}}, {{profile|16|Average Joe}}, {{profile|6|Leaky Bocks}}, {{profile|2574|GuavaMoment}}, {{profile|9548|marcusgipps}}, {{profile|594|Spookey69}}, {{profile|1900|oqtasian}}, {{profile|9667|Eyes of a Hawk}}, {{profile|6170|Mr Boom Mc Bang}}, {{profile|252|Thordulf}}, {{profile|594|Spookey69}}, {{profile|2993|Johan Crichton}}, {{profile|8094|AlexanderRM}}, {{profile|821|Christian Fletcher}}, and {{profile|6268|Kolzak}}.

===2008 Visit===
Santa appeared again in 2008 on the 17th of December, escorted again by the Chief Elf and two elves. Within the first day, the elves were dead, and Santa was receiving medical attention from some and unwanted attention from others. Santa survived until late on the 19th, when he was killed by {{profile|10200|Glooble}}, mainly because the [[Rakmogaki Collective]] had taken to keeping him alive as long as possible. For unknown reasons, Santa was seen on January 2nd.

*List of Known Killers
Known killers of Santa during the 2008 Christmas season include:
{{profile|10200|Glooble}}, {{profile|6076|Human Wine}}, {{profile|12858|Spiritz}}, [[Vercingetorix]], {{profile|3875|azuma}}, {{profile|16191|The Munch}} and {{profile|16914|Racham}}.

===2009 Visit===

The [[Rakmogaki Collective]] once again went to help Santa and keep him alive during the Christmas Season. They reduced the number of Santa killers, much like the previous year, though it was the same bloodbath as it was the year before.

===2010 Visit===

The year 2010 was more lenient in terms of record keeping. Santa fell 5 verified times, according to official records.

===2011 Visit===

As expected of Shartak's original take on Christmas, the year 2011 was another bloodbath. Santa had only his personal elf guards to protect him this time. Among 7 recorded, but mostly ''unreported'' Santa killers was {{profile|22038|Raging Neckbeard}}.

In a special prize giveaway, Hugh Hefner gains the main prize, followed by Mr Scavvy, Edwin, Charrrlie, and Leroy.

Raivo: Added info about ranged weapons breaking, style fixing to be in line with https://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Help:Editing

=General Information=

Range weapons have the best hit percentage in the game in the hands of a [[warrior]] or a [[soldier]] when they are leveled in the correct skills. Rifles have a high damage equivalent to the [[heavy sword]], while blowpipes will poison NPCs and PCs with varying results.

=List of Ranged Weapons=
==Blowpipe==
*[[File:Blowpipe.png|right|Blowpipe]]'''Location Found''' - Natives weapon huts, Jungle
*'''Base Damage''' - 4 HP
*'''Base Accuracy''' - 20%

Outsiders require ''[[native knowledge]]'' to use. Requires 1.5 AP to fire, but the Native skill ''[[basic blowpipe use]]'' drops this to 1 AP. Initially inflicts 4 HP of damage for 4 XP. Animals take a further 2 HP of damage immediately from poison, while human targets incur 1 HP of damage per action until the poison effect wears off. No XP is gained from poison damage. Blowpipes have a small chance of breaking with the following message: ''"You blow and to your dismay the dart gets stuck in the blowpipe. Since there's no way to get the dart out, you discard the blowpipe in disgust."'' <br style="clear:both" />

===Poison Darts===
*[[File:Poisondart.png|right|Poison Dart]]'''Location Found''' - Native weapon huts, Jungle

New players should read the '''[[Gameplay]]''' guide and perhaps the '''[[Tips and tricks]]''' and '''[[Requests for information]]''' pages.

The island of Shartak has been inhabited for several hundred years by native tribes from the villages of '''[[Dalpok]]''', '''[[Raktam]]''' and '''[[Wiksik]]'''. In recent times strangers to the island have appeared wearing odd clothes and carrying loud sticks. These outsiders have formed camps known as '''[[Derby]]''', '''[[Durham]]''' and '''[[York]]''' and have been joined by pirates whose '''[[shipwreck]]''' lies on the island's north shore. And now, on dark and stormy nights, the natives whisper tales of the shunned village '''[[Rakmogak]]''' and its terrible secret.

The strangers once stayed on the coast, away from the jungle, but now they travel inland in search of knowledge and plunder. It won't be long before they stumble across the villages and learn of the treasures of the tribal ancestors.|

Halloween

2026-08-17T17:40:09Z

Raivo:

Halloween in Shartak is an event that starts around a week before October 31st and lasts for about two weeks. In terms of content, it is the most major event in Shartak. During the event, various [[Special Animals]] appear, [[pumpkin]]s can be found when searching [[jungle]] tiles, and [[hut]]s in [[camp]]s become decorated.

=Halloween NPCs=

==Mummies==
[[Mummy|Mummies]] spawn in large numbers within camps and on [[Midway Island]], as of the 2025 Halloween event.

==Werewolves==
A single [[werewolf|werewolves]] per camp appears. They are inevitably hunted to extinction very quickly, as they are rare kills and not particularly strong. Those not lucky enough to get a living werewolf kill can go after zombified werewolves, however.

==Zombified Animals==
[[Animal]]s turn into [[zombie|zombiefied]] versions when they are killed. Even the mummies and werewolves can become zombified. Zombified animals keep respawning instantly until the event is over, making Halloween the perfect time to rack up kills and earn [[XP]] from efficient hunting. Zombified animal kills also count towards [[achievements]], helping you earn hunting badges.

=Halloween Decorations=
The huts in the various camps gain Halloween decorations during the event. This decorations are not known to have any effect on gameplay.

Upgraded Animals

2026-08-17T17:15:27Z

Raivo: /* General Information */ Added info about upgraded animals having a chance to spawn on their own due to a game update.

=General Information=

Some [[animals]] can be upgraded, which means they have killed enough players, become stronger, faster, meaner, and overall badass. Additionally, as of an August 2026 update, animals have a small chance of spawning in as an upgraded version on their own (the exact chance is unknown, but seems to be around 1-5 %). The animals listed on this page are the animals that have been confirmed to upgrade, but it's possible other animals can also upgrade. So far, three tiers of upgrades has been discovered, but other tiers may exist.

Here is small description of what the following lists explain.
*'''Location Found''' - Where the animal can be most commonly found.

*'''Damage''' - The amount of damage an attack from this animal causes.
*'''Hit Chance''' - Chance to hit as a retaliation to a melee attack (against characters without ''[[animal affinity]]'' or [[charms]]). This is an approximation rounded to the closest 5% (based on the sample size mentioned). The numbers will become more accurate as research continues.
*'''Speed''' - How often the animal acts. Normal (once per 30 minute cycle), 1/2 (once per two cycles at 35 minutes past), or 1/3 (once per 3 cycles, alternating between 5 and 35 minutes past).
*'''XP Bonus''' - The bonus the player gets for killing the animal.
*'''Attack Unprovoked''' - Whether or not an animal will attack a player if the player hasn't attacked the animal.
*'''Special Notes''' - Other information about some animals.

Ghost Ship

2026-08-10T18:15:49Z

Raivo: Location instead of an item.

Constantly moving throughout the sea around Shartak, the Ghost ship offers unique NPCs to fight or heal, and unique items to acquire. The Ghost ship is a new feature implemented on 10 November, 2010 as Eerie lights sighted out to sea. The first useron the ship was New Haven's Dani al-Ghazali. So far it has been noted that the ship is moving. Where it is going or what is course is, is still unknown at this time. It appears to only move in [[deep water]]. Every so often if one is on the Ghost Ship, it will flicker out of existence, and abandon you in the waters it was in.

Rumours of eerie lights being sighted out to sea off the northern coast near Durham demand further investigation.
One adventurous townsperson returned having seen nothing, although he did report that during the quiet following

other three who went looking.

Raivo: /* Use of Treasure Maps */

Treasure maps point to various locations on the island, giving either weapons, healing supplies, juices, or other products plus XP (usually over 100 [[XP]] for every treasure found).

==Location Found==
Treasure maps can be purchased at [[traders]] for 8-16 [[gold coin]]s a piece (Trader Tamdal sells them for the highest price). They get restocked every day. The [[pirate]] trader tends to acquire more treasure maps than other traders, since pirates are greedy and the trader is even worse.

==Treasure Hunting Necessities==

*[[Shovel]] - Needed to dig the deepest hole level
*''[[Digging]]'' skill - Needed to dig the deepest hole level

==Use of Treasure Maps==

Treasure maps have a '''use''' and an '''identify''' in a drop down menu next to them. Each option does something unique.

===Use===
This activates the treasure map. Once a treasure map is activated you have limited time (two weeks) to find the treasure until it disappears. Use gives you an approximate location to get to to find the treasure. You can click use as much as you like until the map disappears to help narrow down the location, as well as to get a sense of how much time you have left to locate the treasure. Each click uses up one AP.

====Map Degradation Texts====
The map starts degrading after the first time it used. On the first use, you get the message "''The map is written in dark ink on fresh parchment.''"

After the first use, you get the following texts in order as the map degrades. Each message will display for about two days before switching over to the next. After two weeks have passed, the next time the map is used, it disappears. The messages, in order, are as follows:

*"''The edges of the map are looking a little worn.''" (0-2 days after use)
*"''The creases on the map are well set.''" (3-4 days after use)
*"''The writing on the map is starting to fade.''" (5-6 days after use)
*"''The map is looking like it's seen better days.''" (7-8 days after use)
*"''The map is starting to fall apart.''" (9-10 days after use)
*"''The map is becoming impossible to read.''" (11-12 days after use)
*"''The map has almost completely disintegrated!''" (13-14 days after use)
*"''As you pull the map out to examine it, it crumbles to dust and blows away in a sudden gust of wind.''" (more than 14 days after use)

===Identify===
This will identify the treasure map, giving one a general location as well as a general idea of what the treasure contains. This will not activate the map, and allow one to get in the general area of the treasure before activating.
