Carvers are Demons. They're a species of the Fallen family of monsters.

Carvers may be resurrected by Carver Shaman. Raised Carvers are not worth any experience and can not drop items; they're only worth killing once. Find the Carver Shaman and kill them first, so they can not prolong the battle.

Carvers have interesting AI. All nearby Carver will run away from any character who makes a kill; whether of a Carver or any other monster. Carvers run for a second or two, then turn around and resume their attack. Carvers who can not run since their path is blocked by walls, fences, other monsters, etc, will continue fighting. Carver Shaman do not flee when they see a death.

The weakest Carvers in Hell difficulty are found on the Stony Field and the Dark Wood, while the strongest are found on the level 2 of the Underground Passage.

• All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Locations[edit]

Carvers spawn as minions to Carver Shaman in v1.09 and later. (Prior to that patch whole packs of Carver Shaman spawned with each Carver Shaman boss.)

• Guest Monsters are found only in Act Five, and only on Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels.
• Monsters in areas marked "Boss Only" will only appear as random bosses or champions.
• Monsters in areas marked "No Boss" will never appear as random bosses or champions.

Act 1:

• Stony Field (no boss)
• Tristram (no boss)
• Underground Passage 1-2
• Dark Wood
• Black Marsh (no boss)
• The Hole 1-2 (no boss)
• Tamoe Highland (no boss)

Act 5:

• Arreat Plateau (no boss)
• Ancients' Way

Statistics[edit]

Speed rates a monster's movement speed. 1 is very slow, 10 is fast, with some very fast creatures rated at 10+.

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.
  • The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense[edit]

Carvers have a chance to add elemental damage to their second attack type.

Defenses[edit]

• Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
• Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
• Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
• Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances[edit]

• Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
• Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
