Goblin Scout
The Goblin Scout is the lowest-level enemy in Sunny Meadows and the first hostile you encounter when leaving the tutorial zone. They’re cowardly, deal minimal damage, and flee at 30% HP rather than fighting to the death — which is actually the dangerous part, because they pull other Goblin Scouts when they run.

Attacks
- Crude Slash — single-target melee poke. 1.0s cast time. Negligible damage.
- Shriek — passive threat roar when reaching 30% HP. Links all Goblin Scouts within 25m and causes them to flee together.
- Throw Rock — ranged attack used while fleeing. 6m range. ~24 damage.
Behavior
Goblin Scouts are passive until attacked. Once you engage one, the entire nearby pack becomes hostile. At 30% HP the engaged Scout uses Shriek and flees — pulling every other Scout within 25m along with it. The fleeing pack will run toward the nearest Goblin camp, where you’ll find 4-6 Goblin Warriors (Lv 10 elites).
Strategy
- Pull single Scouts by engaging them out of pack range. Their aggro radius is ~6m.
- Don’t let them flee. Use a slow (e.g. Spear Sweep for Knights, Frostbolt for Mages) to keep them in combat.
- AoE down the pack if they link — Mage and Berserker AoE deletes them in 2-3 seconds.
Drops
- Goblin Ear (material) — used in the Lv 10 cooking recipe.
- Tattered Cloth (common) — vendor trash.
- Goblin Tooth (rare) — material for the Lv 12 quest chain.
- ~8 copper per kill.
XP bonus: Slayer
Killing a fleeing Goblin Scout (one that used Shriek) grants a +25% Slayer XP bonus on that kill. This is the fastest way to level from Lv 8 to Lv 12 — chase down every Scout you can.
Lore
Goblin Scouts are the lowest rank in Sunny Meadow’s goblin hierarchy. They report to Goblin Warriors (elite) and ultimately to Skritch the Cleaver (Lv 12 mini-boss in the eastern camp). Despite their cowardice, they’re effective at scouting for larger threats.
FAQ
Q: Do Goblin Scouts respawn? A: Yes, every 6 minutes. The eastern meadow has the densest population.
Q: Is the Slayer XP bonus worth chasing? A: Absolutely — the +25% bonus stacks with rested XP and event bonuses, making it the fastest Lv 8-12 leveling path.
Q: Can you solo a fleeing Scout at Lv 8? A: Yes, even with starter gear. They flee at 30% HP with very low damage output.
