Setting up a boss mob question

katah1969

So pretty much got this Foundry thing down and I'm just about to publish, but after testing a few times, the boss encounters I setup are just simply.... well simple!

I'm not going to stack encounters just to increase the difficulty because in my opinion that just becomes more frustrating than it does fun or challenging...

Having said all this I have noticed in other Foundry quests some people seem to have figured out how to get a more difficult mob to be placed as the boss... They even have a different looking name bar over them, but I cannot find the creature used.

What is the best encounter to use as a boss encounter? Changing the appearance is easy enough just hoping there is one group that is "tougher" than another!

Thanks is advance!

Yup, use the post viktormonsama gave you, and look for the solo Encounter list. Once you have placed one of those as your boss, click on the encounter on the map, it will bring up it's properties. About the 4th line down you will see the costume/customize button, that will probably say Savage Ogre or whatever mob you used. But it is a clickable field. Click that box and it will bring up the models for all the mobs in the game. Find one you want to use as a base and double click it. You will now notice that it has the costume name of the picture you chose. Now, click the customize button and you can change the details of the costume to make it your own unique look, with clothes/looks etc.

At the top of the properties box in light grey you will see the name of the mob, savage ogre in this example. It may look like it is greyed out and you cannot change it, but click in the field and give it the name you want to appear above it's head instead of savage ogre. There, now you have a boss mob with a unique name and look, and will use the same abilities and be as tough as the savage ogre. Play around with all of the solo encounters on the list given in the other post until you find one whose abilities best match the boss you want.

I have the same problem. Only solo mob is battle wigh commander and I can't change his appearance. There is no customization button, nor window for costume change. Is my client broken or it was deleted in some patch? All solo mobs are in NPC section, and those I can't make hostile.
