'''Dust Sprites''' are an enemy found in [[The Mines]], from levels 40-79, in the frozen part of the mines. They are small creatures which often travel in packs. Dust Sprites are a great source of coal, as it is one of their most common drops. You need to kill 500 Dust Sprites for [[Adventurer's_Guild#Monster Eradication Goals|Monster Eradication Goals]].

Dust Sprites are a great source of [[coal]], as it is one of their most common drops. 500 Dust Sprites (any type) need to be killed for the [[Adventurer's Guild#Monster Eradication Goals|Monster Eradication Goal]] at the [[Adventurer's Guild]].

==Behavior==

==Behavior==

Dust Sprites bounce in place and chirp while inactive. If they spot the player, dust sprites will bound after them, causing damage upon collision.  Occasionally, they will break a rock that is in their way.

Simply hit them. Cornering them against a wall will keep them from being knocked out of your melee range with repeated swinging.

Simply hit them. Cornering them against a wall will keep them from being knocked out of range with repeated swinging or stabbing. Because of their bouncy behavior, it's easy for them to be closer than expected.

==Farming==

==Respawning==

Repeatedly traveling back and forth between floor 55 and 60 (or 65) using the elevator in [[The Mines]] will randomly generate a new level each time, and causes all monsters to respawn.  This allows the player to rapidly find levels with a high density of Dust Sprites. If you choose to take a ladder to the next floor, you can simply take the ladder back up from the following floor to return to the mine entrance and begin using the elevator again without needing to search for ladders down to further floors.

Traveling to the entrance to the Mines will reset all floors.  Repeatedly farming frozen levels of the Mines, then exiting the mines will allow for repeated farming of Dust Sprites.

As of the [[Multiplayer]] update, players must exit the mines and wait for the in-game clock to tick over 10 minutes before re-entering so the monsters will respawn.

*The Dust Sprites may be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Susuwatari|Soot Sprites]] from [[wikipedia:Studio Ghibli|Studio Ghibli's]] animated films [[wikipedia:Spirited Away|"Spirited Away"]] and [[wikipedia:My Neighbor Totoro|"My Neighbor Totoro"]].

*Players get [[Mining]] experience points for any rocks that are broken by Dust Sprites. This is the case even in [[Multiplayer]] where every player will get the experience for the rock broken, even if they weren't in the mines at the time.

* Dust sprites are listed as ''dust spirits'' in [[Quests#List of Special Orders|Clint's special order]], [[Quests#Help Wanted Quests|Slay Monsters quests]], and the cutscene at [[The Summit]]. These are the only in-game text which don't use the ''dust sprite'' name.<!--all of these are fixed in v1.6-->
