### <mark style="color:yellow;">Section 2 — difficulty by level range</mark>

<table data-search="false"><thead><tr><th>Column</th><th>Accepted Values</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Index</td><td>Number from 0 to 59</td><td>Level range based on the highest-level character among the participants: <code>Index = (level-1) / 10</code> (Index 0 = levels 1–10, Index 1 = levels 11–20, and so on).</td></tr><tr><td>Level</td><td>Number</td><td>Event monster level for this range. This is a direct value, <strong>not</strong> a multiplier.</td></tr><tr><td>MaxLife</td><td>Decimal number (multiplier)</td><td>Multiplies the event monster's base HP.</td></tr><tr><td>DamageMin / DamageMax</td><td>Decimal number (multiplier)</td><td>Multiplies the event monster's base minimum and maximum damage.</td></tr><tr><td>Defense</td><td>Decimal number (multiplier)</td><td>Multiplies the event monster's base defense.</td></tr><tr><td>AttackRate</td><td>Decimal number (multiplier)</td><td>Multiplies the event monster's base attack rate.</td></tr><tr><td>DefenseRate</td><td>Decimal number (multiplier)</td><td>Multiplies the event monster's base defense rate.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Notes</mark>

* Unlike `DoubleGoer.dat`, the `Level` column here is used as an **absolute value** (the event monster's level for that range), while all other columns (`MaxLife`, `DamageMin`, `DamageMax`, `Defense`, `AttackRate`, and `DefenseRate`) are multipliers applied to the event monster's base stats.
* The `Index` is determined by the **highest-level character** among all participants, not by the party's average level.
* HP, damage, defense, attack rate, and defense rate are also affected by an additional global difficulty rate configured outside this file. This server-wide percentage is applied on top of the multipliers defined in this table.
