Monster Banner

Monster Banners are items that are dropped by various mobs, similarly to Bosses and their corresponding Trophies. Almost every mob in the game drops a banner. When placed, the banners give off a radius of a buff that gives increased damage and defense against the corresponding monster. These buffs reach out in approximately a 50 block radius. The buff does not stack with a 2nd banner of the same monster, but does stack with banners of other monsters. Each banner corresponds to the mob it was dropped from, although not every variety of a mob drops its own unique banner. A banner is given to the closest player after the corresponding monster has been killed in the world 50 times, and will continue to do so every time that monster is killed 50 times. (A message will appear in chat to tell that player so, even if the monster was killed by an NPC.) If playing on a server, it's the 50th monster killed on the server, even if it says a specific player achieved 50 kills. There are currently 87 different Monster Banners (97 on console).
