Drifter/es: Difference between revisions

</div>

== Drops ==

Upon dying, drifters can be harvested with a [[knife]] for a chance to loot a number of {{Icon link|Grid_Flax_fibers.png|Flax fibers|flax fibers}}, {{Icon link|gear-rusty.png|Rusty gear|rusty gears}} and {{Icon link|gear-temporal.png|Temporal gear|temporal gears}}. The chance for each item varies depending on the type of drifter, and can be seen in the table below.

== Variants ==

There are 6 different types of drifter: Surface, Deep, Tainted, Corrupt, Nightmare and Double-headed.

== Behavior ==

Drifters will wander around aimlessly until they spot a player within 20 blocks, at which point they will begin pursuing said player.

==== Melee ====

==== Rock throwing ====

If a drifter is within 15 blocks of a player but cannot path to them, they may stop and throw a rock at them instead, every 1 to 10 seconds. This ranged attack deals 1 damage, regardless of the drifter's type. Drifters can throw rocks over blocks that are too tall to jump over, such as [[Fence|fences]] and [[Fence gate|fence gates]]. The rocks disappear once thrown and cannot be picked up by the player. This rock projectile can sometimes hit the drifter who threw it, or even other drifters.

=== Fleeing ===

Drifters have a chance to flee from the player in sunlight. The amount of light required varies depending on the type of drifter:

| Double-headed || 2

|}

Drifters may also flee from a player upon receiving damage. They will continue to flee for up to 10 seconds, or if they manage to get more than 12 blocks away from the player. The chance for them to flee once again depends on the type of drifter:

| Double-headed || 1%

== Trivia ==

* Drifters have two uncommon idle animations: 'cry' in which it curls up and cries, and 'think' where it looks at its arms and raises them to the sky.

* According to the story excerpt [https://www.vintagestory.at/stories/storyexcerpt-ghosts.html/ Ghosts], drifters have a metallic smell.

* Prior to version 1.18, drifters could spawn in light level 9 or below.<ref>[https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/v1180-pre1-lore-update-the-resonance-archives-r342/ v1.18.0 dev blog notes]</ref>
