Tips & Tricks

• Killing them will despawn their summoned creeping infernos.
• The Fire Storm created when a creeping inferno dies does far less damage compared to an actual Fire Storm (from, say, Cerebov). Decently armored characters with rF++ or greater are not in immediate danger of taking serious damage from them.

History

• Prior to 0.33, stokers casted Stoke Flames half as often (only 5% per valid turn), and creeping infernos had different stats and behaviors.
• Stokers were added in 0.28.
