Spoiler in Lineage 2: Crafting and Resource Guide
The Dwarf Spoiler (Bounty Hunter) is one of the most unique classes in Lineage 2. While other classes farm adena and experience, the Spoiler does something no one else can: extract rare resources directly from monsters using the exclusive Spoil mechanic. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Spoiler β from core mechanics to crafting economy strategy.
Spoil Mechanics Explained
Spoil is a two-stage resource extraction system:
- Spoil skill β cast on a living monster to mark it as spoiled
- The monster is killed by normal attacks (solo or party)
- Sweeper skill β cast on the marked corpse to collect unique resources that would not otherwise drop
Important rules:
- Only the Spoiler who cast Spoil can use Sweeper on that corpse
- If the monster dies without Sweeper being used, the resources are lost permanently
- Every monster has a separate spoil table distinct from its normal drop table
- Higher Spoil skill level increases the success rate of the spoil

Spoiler's Role in a Party
A skilled Spoiler in a party is a massive economic asset. Key party roles:
- Resource gatherer β provides the party with crafting materials and sellable goods
- Secondary DPS β deals moderate physical damage between spoils
- Clan economist β farms materials for clan-wide crafting needs
Optimal positioning: attack slightly after the main DDs so the monster does not die before Spoil is applied. Coordinate with the healer and tank on clearing pace.
