The Exp Boss Appears

A new kind of event comes to Aurenfall: the Exp Boss.

From time to time the staff will raise an enormous devil somewhere in the world -- a monster with a health bar in the millions, far beyond anything else alive. It stands still, it fights nobody, and it belongs to everyone.

You fight it exactly like any other monster: click it and swing. There is nothing to switch on first.

Triple experience, per hit

While the boss stands, every point of damage you deal to it pays three times the experience the same damage would earn on a monster of your own level:

• Character experience -- your level bar climbs 3x per hit, and your usual bonuses (Exp Potion, Heaven Blessing, Rainbow gems) stack on top.
• Skill experience -- spells cast at the boss train 3x.
• Weapon proficiency -- melee and bow swings train 3x.

Weapon proc skills fire against it exactly as they do while hunting, and their damage pays the same tripled experience.

How an event runs

A server-wide announcement tells you the moment the boss appears. Anyone may strike it -- alone or in a crowd, with no flags and no consequences; everyone earns their own experience and nobody takes anything from anyone else. Its health bar drains as the crowd works on it, and when the last blow lands, a herald names the player who felled it and the event ends.

There is no loot at all and nothing to ninja: the experience you earned along the way IS the reward. The more you hit, the more you got.
