Boss Fight Mechanics

• World Boss health is shared across all channels.

• Loot mechanics
  • Double loot chances: available when the boss is killed.
  • 3 different loot groups depending upon damage dealt – better loot chances for the top damage dealers
  • Try to spread out across channels for better loot chances.
  • Loot drops at a lower rate for a boss that despawns.
• Bosses do not spawn on Olvia, Arsha, or Channels at War
• Boss HP bar color will change, depending on its HP, even when you don’t have boss Knowledge yet.
  • 100 – 75% Yellow
  • 75 – 50% Purple
