there are 3 differant types of each boss listed on pwdatabase i can only figure out how to get to the ones in solo and squad...there is a 3rd version of these bosses who drop the essences...how do i go about gettin to those bosses? solo boss = mirror squad bosses drop frags/crystals/essence/mats
however the 3rd type drop only frags/crystals/essence which is who im lookin into of how to get these bosses.....maybe these are the neo deity mode bosses?

    From the research I've been able to get off database (and doing squad and single modes), the "Mirror" bosses are the single mode bosses. The only difference between solo mode and squad mode bosses as far as I've been able to tell is the hp. That's all the information we really have to go on at this time as its still not been said anything about a lunar solo mode.

    I've talked a lot with BearClaw about the npc for Valley Entrance, but there's still no sign of an npc. That quest opens lunar solo mode.

    No solo and single aren't the same :P (as I know someone is gonna tell me they are)

    Solo mode is very similar to squad mode from my findings, with the exception that no gold mats drop, and the bosses have smaller hp than the squad mode bosses.

    Valley Entrance, which is a quest you are supposed to get from Tsufong the Wanderer (which is still missing in action lol), will allow you to open the solo mode.

    Single mode is unlocked when you do the shoveals quest. The essences sadly, only drop in solo mode and squad mode, not single (given that all the times I've done single mode I've yet to get a drop from them and the database says that they don't drop them in single mode).

    As of right now, best chances for getting the essences is squad mode. Unless you've got the coins and chips to make them. But its quite expensive lol. (even though the anni packs brought much money to the server).

    Single = green drops.

    Squad-- all bosses have a chance for gold drops. Each other gold item (other than the rings available via anni packs) require a different gold item.

    Neo-Deity... I have yet to find a "neo deity mode". All I've been able to tell is that there's an NPC that asks for Gods breath and neo deity scrolls and then tele's you to the boss. Wasn't aware that was considered "neo deity mode." Plus, from what I've gathered, they have the squad boss hp. I'm guessing they are just like the squad bosses without doing all of the squad mode work (I.E. all mobs in between bosses)?

    Ah k. Just wanted to make sure on the neo deity thing ^^ Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

    According to PW Database, all bosses have a chance to drop the gold mats. Thus where their names come from.

    There are only a select few that drop the Tinder gold mats that are needed.

    those gold mats you are talking about don't really count, no one uses them. the tinder gold mats is what I mean.

    can't say no one uses them as most people don't do the whole thing. I know a few people going for those other gold mats, not just the tinder.

    The third ones are Neo-Deity mode bosses.

    You need anything between 5 and 40 Neo-deity scroll to summon a boss (depend on the boss) and 0 to 5 god's breath.

    You are teleported in a special instance with no mobs in it, and near the boss. The bosses are easy to kill.

    I don't know of any other ways either.

    I was told that Neo-Deity scrolls are sold in the cash shop in other versions of the game.

    I don't know if that information is true or false.

    Quest name : Alone in the Valley

    NPC giving the quest : Lonely Kowski - "World" 427 456(22)

    (I think you must do the "Five Planets" quest prior to be able to get this one)

    Description : Defeat 5 Frigoris: Tsanhsuans and 10 Insularum: Shoveals, then report to Lonely Kowski

    Required to do :
    Kill 10 Insularum : Shoveal ( level 92) and 5 Frigoris: Tsanhsuan (level 90)

    Frigoris are found in the first instance of the Lunar Glade in squad mode. Shoveal are found in the second instance of the Lunar Glade in squad mode.

    Frigoris are easy to get. Shoveals are a bit harder, because they cast a wide range aoe attack that generally one shot most robe and light armored chars. They dealt something like 10k damage to my char. Use lots of interrupt skills to prevent them from casting it. And bring lots of angels. And clerics ^_^

    Thank you very much.b:pleased
    I did already five planets. And I'm stuck on these Kill 10 Insularum : Shoveal ( level 92) and 5 Frigoris: Tsanhsuan (level 90) So I have to do them in squad mode first. Unfortunately is very difficult to find squad for lunar. I never was there.b:victory
    Probably in database is mistaken.
    There is this: Defeat 5 Frigoris: Tsanhsuans and 10 Insularum: Shoveals, then report to Lonely Kowski. (Lunar Glade Single Mode) But I cannot do it in single mode. Because I cannot open single mode. So I have to kill them in squad mode. Am I right?

    Yes, the ingame text for the quest is wrong (and was never fixed by PWI, go figure why...)

    The quest must be done in squad mode, The shoveals don't spawn in solo mode.
    Unfortunately is very difficult to find squad for lunar.

    Mostly because Lunar squad mode is mostly a waste of time and ressources (even more with the anniversary packs...). And Lunar solo mode drops are rather useless.
