Is there a reason why all of the World/Mini Bosses seem to never be where they are supposed to be. Were they taken out or are they just being selfishly hogged?

Most are killed and farmed within the first 30 minutes of server reset.0 -

This, sadly. The only World Boss that I can ever see regularly on Lost City is Sonic Opressor.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

What Mista said, they are taken out ASAP as soon as the servers come online after maintenance, all of the respawn times are noted and routes are planned accordingly. Its as precise as rare pet spawns for some people. I personally don't think its very fair, like its not very fair that one squad on our server can literally monopolize 9-10 WBs a night, but oh well, that's PWI for you.0

I used to see world bosses quite frequently though, I have yet to encounter an NM in pwi (the special mobs that drop a few high level apoth items and respawn just as slowly as a WB). Do they even exist in this version b:puzzled[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Yes, they do exist, but you'll never see them up for more than a minute, they're dead so fast it'd make your head spin.
I tried them last week thinking maybe I could get one, yeah.... only on the first night, after that the farmers are out full force and those things are nearly impossible to get. 0 -

They do. Ive killed a few before too when I was lucky enough to see them (D. Black, Clawzard and Sutrixx)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

That's a lot of effort then for a few apoths worth ~50k and the Chrono Page that drops once in a blue moon b:lipcurl[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

I so wish you was on the Raging Tides server so I could watch you take out Sonic the Opressor solo! (I'm sure that there has to be some out there who could do that, and I SERIOUSLY want to be able to check out the build after, so I have an idea how I need to progress.)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It's not the years that matter, it's the milage that has true meaning. Do not spend your life trying to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Walk the best path you can, and enjoy that journey.

With my current build I can't solo Oppressor, maybe when I get my end game stuff I'll give it a shot though b:avoid[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

You'll have to let me know how it goes, unless they decide to offer a Super Teleport Stone that lets you server bounce lol[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Sonic is typically dead within 30 minutes of respawn, if not sooner.
I've seen Sonic twice int he past year, once I told a friend about it (QQed about it being there, actually), and she got her faction's WB squads together in 3 minutes (made PHONE CALLS in some cases) and they killed it 5 minutes later. Next time, another faction beat them to it, but I got to watch again.101 Sage Sin*/Archer
100 Demon BM*/Barb
96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
95 Demon Wiz/
94 Sage Veno
85 Psy/80 Mystic
And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

GL on clicking them. Bosses are on a schedule and are killed by the same squad a few mins after spawning. Too bad they don't have any random component in the spawns.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Greedy farmers? realy?
Why would they not farm them? So you could look at them? Ofc if you can solo them or can form a squad that can kill them.. then be faster. Or contact the WB SWAT teams member and ask if you could atleast try to kill one of the bosses.
Year or two ago it took whole guild to take one world boss down.We will add r9 they said... it will be fun they said...0 -
Random spawn locations/times would fix that. Maybe even make them stronger so one squad can't possibly kill it. All I know is, this is another interesting fun thing that would be cool to do, but can't because, from the way it sounds, I'm not r9. That sucks.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

For LC, this is what we always did in Essence and what other factions did before us. If we lost times on any of them them a couple of people had NPCs they could randomly log into at every WB location to see if it was up. We would do almost all of them as a full faction farming event. Sometimes we would get most of them, but often not having enough people willing to do 20+ WB wasn't possible, or another faction would end up winning a PK war and taking a number of locations away. It was a lot of fun when it was just two primary factions. I have no idea what it's like now, but it used to be a lot of fun. I've never done them all in one run, there was always one or two that someone would get before we could get to them. Usually the 2nd 3rd map boss was gone whenever we'd try a full run including all past maps.
edit: And we never did find out who that person who always farmed venom...I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0 -

Usually a sin+cleric (or sometimes just a sin) and it's gone in a few minutes.
The few times I get to see a WB nowadays is with a sin busy humping it b:chuckle[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
You have to be competitive if you want to have a chance at the WBs. and they aren't exactly like magical pinatas, often the drops can make you feel stupid for wasting time killing the damn thing. Like when we get nothing but chrono mats u.u0

There's an MMORPG with heavy ties to Norse Mythology that does this; all of the MVP's(bosses) have a variable spawn time, usually a ten minute range(120~130 minutes for example)
I actually managed to get Deiciter Black the other day while farming Nivastoks, I was extremely surprised that it was alive, considering that it was around 11 a.m. Eastern time. I've taken Desire and Clawzard a few times as well, and my boyfriend once nabbed Hum Hum in Old Unicorn Forest.
So I wonder if sometimes people are too lazy to farm the minibosses, especially the more "out of the way" ones like Clawzard, Desire, and the Deiciters.0 -

Yes, I agree, they should be left where they are so you could selfishly hog them yourself!! People just don't get the spirit of the season!! b:chuckle
Of course I am just teasing, just struck me funny that if the other guy does it, its selfish... but if I do it...... lol0 -
In all fairness at least our squad ONLY does them during 2x. b:surrender
We are more then happy to compete with anyone else who is doing WB's, which is normally about 4-5 groups (of which we work with one of them for past map bosses, call it a fair trade off for both of the squads).
Our average is about 11 bosses with the most being 14 in a given week. Not too bad for 35minutes of our time. (Even if sometimes 6am for me)b:dirty
It is not about fair really, it is about getting to the bosses before other's do, maybe more people should try to do them?
Oh, and we don't take the easier bosses...Our route is the "more difficult" bosses first, the ones people usually do last.

Earlier this year our faction was lucky enough to find a few of the lower WBs alive and got the faction members to meet there and get the kills. We had folks from level 40's and up (maxing at around 90 at that time.) You don't have to be an end game player to kill a boss with your faction. b:victory
Just keep your eyes open as you transverse the spawn areas and you can get lucky. And, yes, it's great fun for a whole faction event.

I was looking for them for my faction to have something to get together and do. I don't want them myself, but trying to find something a whole faction can do at the same time, outside Tw, seems to be getting harder. My gripe wasn't that I couldn't kill them, I'm no where near high enough. If a few groups want to take them all, I can't stop them. I'll just have to find another thing my faction can do together. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

Looks like I'm in the same boat as most here. I want to eventually have my faction take on a world boss just to do it, but I never see them alive anymore. Back in the day I used to see a few around, now I never see them. I've taken it upon myself a few times to go flying around while dual logging to try and find one still alive, but they're always down already. It would be nice if maybe they added in world bosses to the faction bases. Have it port all participating faction members into a little room with the boss where you can kill it together. I dunno. I guess I'm just disappointed that there aren't any real motivations to build up a guild. TWs look like they'd get pretty boring, the faction base sounds disappointing, world bosses are always down. Sigh.0

While a World Boss can be a fun event for a faction, if you're looking for something for your whole faction to do, then look at the 9 Trials in a base. You can take your whole faction in to do it. In fact, that is a good idea You have a boss to kill after each quest, so you have 9 bosses to kill. You can build squads up and develope teamwork. In fact, it's about the only thing besides buffs that the base is good for in my opinion. 9 Trails also gives a descent XP per quest as well. b:thanks

Excellent idea! Now just give them a few billion coins to do this.b:laughb:scorn...We are one, We are many, We are watching you...b:scorn0 -
I wish some of those people would sell the chrono pages they get. Way back when, you would see shops full of them and they would be in ah for pages and pages.
Now that I recently made sage for the first time on Ruby I have seen 4 for sale at a rediculous price and that is it.
I know you can use best luck tokens to make them, but 5m a page is not gonna happen.
I know the days of them being 1.75m are long gone b:cry
I managed to kill the minibosses in OHT and VoS a few times, but its too much of a hassle to plan on being there the nanosecond they are gonna spawn and try to out dd every one else.
There are far more rewarding things to be that OCD about[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
