===== The Crypt Dungeon =====

The Crypt is one of the four major dungeons in Adventure Land. Known for its randomized monster spawns and high-value loot (especially **Crings** and **Ceaarings**), it offers a scalable challenge for intermediate to advanced players.

==== Overview ====
  * **Recommended Level**: 60+
  * **Team Size**: 1–3 (Multiboxing or coordinated parties recommended)
  * **Bosses**: [[bosses:orlok | Orlok]], [[bosses:vampires|Vampires]]
  * **Entry Requirement**: [[items:key-crypt | Crypt Key]]
  * **Notable Drops**: [[items:cring | ring of the crypt]], [[items:cearring | cearring]], crypt-exclusive loot 

==== Getting Started ====
To enter the Crypt:
  - You must possess a [[items:key-crypt|Crypt Key]].
  - Use the key at the [[items:door-crypt|Crypt Door]], typically located in town or at designated map entrances.
  - The key will generate a unique instance ID shared across all your characters.

==== Basic Strategy ====
  * The layout and monster spawns are **randomized**.
  * There is **only one fixed location**: the **vbat** (Vampire Bat) spawn near the center.
  * Most monsters **wander**, making tracking them difficult without proper scanning or patrol logic.

==== Recommended Setup ====
  * **Tanky frontline characters** are essential due to heavy mob bursts.
  * **Healing** support (e.g., Priest) greatly increases sustain.
  * A **blacklist system** is key: avoid mobs near Orlok, grouped healers, or leveled-up mobs.

Example composition:
  * Warrior + Warrior + Priest
  * Mage + Warrior + Priest (for AoE burst)

==== Efficient Farming ====
  - The simplest farm route is killing all **[[monsters:vbats| vbats]]** and resetting the instance.
  - **[[monsters:vbats|Vbats]]** drop **lots of [[items:Crings|ring of the crypt]] & [[items:Cearings|Cearings]]**, often surpassing the market value of the Crypt Key.
  - To go further:
    - Scan mobs with `parent.entities`
    - Avoid clustered or enhanced mobs
    - Prioritize easy kills without nearby threats

==== Roaming Tactic (Simple Pathfinding Replacement) ====
Roaming through the Crypt manually:
  - Create a list of static **waypoints** inside the dungeon.
  - Move from point to point using `smart_move()`.
  - At each node, scan for mobs in `parent.entities`, apply filters, and attack.

Example logic:
  * If the target has a healer (`a5`) nearby → skip or kill healer first
  * If Orlok is nearby → blacklist the area
  * If mob is leveled → skip
  * If no mob found → move to next waypoint

==== Cleanup and Reset ====
  * Track start time using `Date.now()`
  * Auto-reset instance after **30–60 minutes** or when all mobs are cleared
  * Use `localStorage` to store:
    - Instance ID
    - Cleared mobs
    - Entry timestamp

==== Notes ====
  * Avoid engaging edge-case combinations like:
    - Easy mobs buffed by nearby healers
    - Groups overlapping with Orlok
  * Instead, code defensively:
    * "If it's not safe → skip"
    * "Find easy targets, don't overoptimize"
  * This allows **safe and consistent** farming without frequent deaths or traps.

==== Fun Fact ====
> Orlok is a crypt-exclusive vampire boss. You’ll know when he finds you.
