Zealot

Zealots are a type of Enderman found exclusively in the Dragon's Nest.

Spawning
Zealots spawn in predetermined locations in the Dragon's Nest. A wave of 16 Zealots spawns every 11 seconds, except in the period between the death of an Ender Dragon and the respawning of the Dragon Egg.

Spawned Zealots have a chance to spawn holding an Ender Chest. These Zealots drop additional loot upon being killed.

Dragons
An Ender Dragon can summon large waves of Zealots when it is weak and the battle has gone on for a long time. These Zealots are hostile towards players.

Drops
Ender Chest Zealots additionally drop:


 * 0-1 Enchanted End Stone
 * 0-3 Enchanted Ender Pearl
 * 0-1 Crystal Fragment
 * 0-1 Enchanted Eye of Ender
 * 0-1 Enchanted Obsidian

Special Zealots additionally drop:


 * 1 Summoning Eye

Behavior
Zealots are neutral mobs like Endermen; they do not attack the player unless they are attacked first or a player looks at one's head. When provoked, they will attack the aggressor, regularly teleporting behind them to evade attacks. They have and deal 1,250 damage.

Zealots spawned from Ender Dragons are always hostile.

Zealots, like Endermen, cannot be damaged by arrows and harmful potions; attempting to shoot one results in the Zealot teleporting away. However, magic projectiles such as those from the Frozen Scythe, Jerry-chine Gun, and Explosive Bow can still damage them.

When an Ender Dragon is defeated, all Zealots in the Nest, including Special Zealots, immediately despawn.

Special Zealots
When a player kills a normal Zealot, there is a 1/420 (0.23%) chance of a Special Zealot spawning close to them. Special Zealots always drop a Summoning Eye.

After 420 Zealots are killed without a Special Zealot spawning, the spawn chance doubles to 1/210 (0.46%); it does not double further. If the Zealot takes more than 1 hit before dying, the chance of a Special Zealot spawning is increased by 10%.

The legendary Enderman Pet at level 100 will also increase the odds by 25% to 1 in 336 (~0.32)

When a player "spawns" a Special Zealot, they are notified with a wither spawn sound effect and chat message: The player who "spawned" the Special Zealot has 5 seconds of pickup priority on the Summoning Eye dropped by it. The enchantment is not effective on Special Zealots. Show/Hide Spawn Chances Note: The table below shows selected values of how many Zealots have been killed versus the % chance that a Special Zealot spawns. All calculations assume a Enderman Pet with Level 100 This table shows how many Zealot kills are required for a specific chance for a Special Zealot A graph showing the relationship between Zealot kills and Special Zealot spawn chance can be found here. The black line is without any spawn boosts, the yellow one with a Enderman Pet Level 100. Show/Hide Spawn Chances

Endstone Protector
The Endstone Protector spawns in a lobby when 5,000 Zealots have been killed since the last boss. Every 1,000 kills, a message is displayed in chat and more layers of the Protector emerge.

Contributing up to 100 Zealot kills to the milestone increases the quality of loot from the boss.

Tips

 * The competition for Zealot kills is tough, as Summoning Eye drops make lots of money. A few common strategies to kill Zealots quickly include:
 * Reaching the highest possible speed values with Young Dragon Armor and a God Potion, and using Aspect of the End to teleport around and kill Zealots.
 * Using Frozen Scythe projectiles to kill Zealots at range from a high vantage point, with a high- build such as Necrotic Wise Dragon Armor to get the required Magic damage to kill them in a single hit.
 * Using the Precursor Eye laser to immediately kill Zealots the player looks at.
 * Using the bats from the (Vampire) Witch Mask to automatically kill Zealots in close proximity.
 * The Enderman Pet boosts the chance to spawn a Special Zealot by 0.25% per level, with a 25% increase in chance at maximum level.
 * Using a Vampire (Witch) Mask or (Frozen) Blaze Armor causes their abilities to tick once on nearby Zealots without killing them, which gives the 10% extra chance to spawn a Special Zealot.
 * A Combat Sack, Personal Compactor or Endermite Pet is useful to prevent the player's inventory from filling up with Ender Pearls.
 * SkyBlock Addons is a good way to know when you get a Summoning Eye as it gives a message whenever you spawn a special zealot

Trivia

 * Special Zealots were once rumored to have a 0.1% drop chance for a Phoenix Pet instead of the normal 0.0001%. This has since been confirmed to be false by the admins.
 * Zealots spawn at 16 predefined locations every 11 seconds when at the optimum lobby size.
 * A Runic has  instead of the expected . Normal Runic Zealots have the expected.
