Dungeon bosses
List of dungeon bosses
Dungeons
Dungeons in Ashes of Creation will range in size and will be mostly open-world.[6][7]
- Nyílt világ dungeons will be populated to facilitate multiple groups within the dungeon.[3]
- Instanced dungeons will also be present and will cater for solo and group questlines.[3]
Different tiers and types of dungeon content will be more or less relevant to specific groups or class compositions.[10]
- There are going to be smaller, simpler, linear dungeons. There's going to be bigger, more complex, nonlinear dungeons. So, It's a little bit of both. We want the environment to be a character. In order for the environment to be a character, these places need to be interesting and there needs to be a dynamicism to them.[6] – Jeffrey Bard
Dungeon difficulty will increase the further a player ventures into the dungeon.[11]
- Mobs and mob mechanics will become more difficult.[11]
- Terrain and environmental dangers will increase.[11]
- Deeper darker types of interactions will be found deeper in the dungeon.[11] – Steven Sharif
There were 13 dungeons in Alpha-1.[12] Originally this was estimated to be 6 or 7.[13]
Dungeon scale
The intention is that dungeons are going to be "massive" in scale.[15]
- Massive caverns and open world spaces.[15]
- Places to suit larger and smaller commitments.[15]
- Where people with 30 minutes can participate.
- Dungeons are vast and have room for multiple groups.[16]
Dungeon scaling
Levels, stats, or skills will not be scaled to allow low level players to participate in encounters with higher level players or world bosses.[17][18][19]
- Q: Will world bosses scale when it comes to player levels and is it based on players or the zone itself leveling?
- A: They will not scale based on player level, no.[17] – Steven Sharif
Nyílt világ
Az Ashes of Creation zökkenőmentes open-world élményt nyújt.[7]
- Nincs töltő képernyő / töltési idő a régiók közötti haladás közben.
Lesznek open world Dungeon-ök és Raid-ek. A cél az hogy az open world érzés megmaradjon, miközben a példányosítás előnyei is ki legyenek használva.[22]
- A példányosítás csupán bizonyos Dungeon-öknél fordul majd elő, ahol nagyobb a hangsúly a történet-elbeszélésen. Ezeket, és az arénákat leszámítva nem lesz gyakori a példányosítás.[7]
- Az open world és a példányosított helyszínek elosztása 80%-20% lesz.[21][8][9]
We're probably going to do instancing only in certain dungeons and in arenas. You probably won't see instancing too much anywhere else. What you see is gonna be what you get.[7] – Jeffrey Bard
A PvP megjelölés rendszer megnyitja a kapukat a nyílt összeütközések előtt.[23]
Dungeon locations
Dungeons and other points of interest are located throughout the map in-between the 85 node locations.[24]
- As nodes advance and expand they will influence nearby points-of-interest such as dungeon bosses, regional bosses and Raid bosses.[24]
- Multiple nearby nodes may collectively influence larger POIs.[25]
- POIs of this size do not normally attach to just a single node. Usually there are multiple nodes that can potentially influence a large POI. The theming within the node occurs around storylines or NPC spawns and events.[25] – Steven Sharif
- The difficulty level and loot tables of these encounters will change based on this influence.[26][24]

Harbingers
The Harbingers are comet-like celestial bodies powered by a very strong source of magic that essentially acts as a bridge between The Void and the Material plane where Verra exists.[28]
- The Ancients and The Others used the Harbingers to travel to Verra, thus beginning the Apocalypse.[28]
- Harbingers exist on Verra as dungeons that the Ancients use to push their influence into the material plane under the guise of the effects of corruption as it spreads.[31]
- The worst thing the Harbingers bought to Verra was corruption, which twists and distorts everything it touches.[32]
- The worst thing that the Harbingers brought was not the Others, but the corruption that they spread. It twists and distorts everything it touches. It whispers in the ears of men, and guides their hands toward terrible ends. There does not seem a means to stop it - our prayers do nothing, our spells are ineffectual. The awful truth is that the Others could simply watch as we burned Verra to ash ourselves.[32]
Bosses
Bosses fall into the following types, with increasing levels of difficulty and loot tables, requiring greater numbers of players to kill.[24]
- Elites.[35]
- Hunting ground bosses.[35]
- Mini-bosses.[35]
- Dungeon bosses.[35][24]
- Raid bosses.[35][24]
- Regional/world bosses.[35][24]
- Generally in my experiences, when you have a fixed respawn time, you run into the potential situations where the powerhouses of the server can keep a particular boss on lockdown; and you don't want to create that type of a situation; and so one of the ways that we can help to alleviate that is by having windows of respawn times- and we've all experienced this in the MMOs that we've played. It's not necessarily known when exactly to coordinate with your large guild who needs to be online when; and this can give a little bit of a leg up on the competitive advantage front for other guilds that might be more smaller knit, or more niche to organize quickly in response to the time window of a respawn.[37] – Steven Sharif
- Certain bosses and creatures will have voice lines along with other audio cues.[38]
- Some bosses and encounters will feature specific original sound tracks composed by Bear McCreary.[39]
- Named mobs/bosses will usually have a unique character appearance.[35]
PvE nehézség
A PvE tartalom nehézsége, mint a Raid-ek és a Dungeon-ök, önmagától változni fog az adott helyszínen, az alapján hogy a csoport a korábbi Boss-ok ellen mennyire volt sikeres.[40]
- Jobb teljesítmény egy Raid Boss első fázisaiban, nehezebbé teszi a későbbi fázisait.[40]
- Minél nehezebb, annál jobb a loot (zsákmány).[40]
- A Boss-ok és a mob-ok nehézségét közvetlenül nem befolyásolja a csoport mérete.[41]
Fosztogatás
Ashes of Creation intends to use traditional loot rules, selected by the party or raid leader.[44][45][46]
- Group loot rules are defined on a per-rarity basis.[42]
- A majority of party members must vote to approve any changes to group loot allocation changes.[43]
- The developers are considering using a double-tap interaction to loot all containers within a close proximity radius.[47]
- There won't be auto-looting pets.[48]
- It will be possible to kick a player from a party prior to them acquiring loot.[49]
- Yes, technically it would be possible for you to kick a player prior to acquiring loot. However, again because we are a game that relies on social interactions, there are reputations to be had; and if you acquire a reputation as a raid leader, or as a party leader, of doing something dirty like that, then it's unlikely you'll be able to Garner the support of future party members and/or raids to lead efforts against these raid bosses.[49] – Steven Sharif
- Free-for-all.[46]
- Whoever is first to loot gets the loot.[44]
- A master looter (or lootmaster) is a player designated by the party leader to decide how loot is distributed in a dungeon or raid party.[46]
- With round-robin looting, party members take turns looting.[46]
- This is a traditional need before greed system based on dice rolls.[46]
- Since there is very little gear binding in Ashes of Creation, it's left to the party to deal with players who excessively roll Need on loot.[50]
- Bidding system.[46]
- Intrepid are investigating a potential bidding system, which allows players to bid on items instead of rolling for them.[46]
Loot tables
Loot tables (drop tables) of world bosses or dungeon bosses have a small RNG chance of dropping gear (completed items).[51][52]
- Monsters drop glint, Elemek and crafting materials rather than gold.[53][54]
- There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.[51][61][62]
- There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[63]
- Crafted gear is the best gear in Ashes of Creation.[64]
- Legendary equipment is only dropped by Legendary world bosses.[24]
- Stats on dropped items will vary based on the rarity of the item.[65]
- Loot tables are disabled for player controlled monsters.[66]
- Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.[67]
- Loot tables will likely not be affected by weather conditions.[68] This was previously listed as a possible effect.[69]
- There won't be specific loot drops for artisans.[70]
- Q: Can only one gathering artisan harvest resources from a single boss, or can multiple different artisans harvest different parts from a boss for different resources? For example, a lumberjack gets a special wood from Tumock's tree weapon, while a herbalist gathers the flowers from that same tree.
- A: We don't have the concept of harvesting from bosses. NPCs follow a reward table format, where those reward tables are global. They're not unique to particular players. So, once the NPC is vanquished, you have access to the loot container that is its corpse; and it has a static value of either materials or items that get dropped; and whatever the party loot settings are that you might be a part of, or if you're a solo player you will be able to recover those things.[70]
Loot tagging
Looting rights (also known as Loot tagging) is based on a blended tag and damage done system.[72][45]
- The first party to obtain a tag (on a mob or boss) will gain an approximately 5-10% edge over competing parties in terms of the total damage done when determining looting rights.[72][45]
- These numbers will be balanced based on testing.[72]
- At the end of the fight, the party with the highest damage done, including first tagging bonus, will be granted looting rights.[72][45]
- We have a blended approach of damage done and a tag benefit. So if you tag the boss first, or you tag the loot- whatever the loot target is first- you're gonna get a benefit in the damage overall determination. So if you need to have 51% of damage done in order to qualify your raid, or the plurality of damage done if there's even three or four raids, then tagging first might give you a five or ten percent edge. We'll play with that number- balance it based on testing, but generally that's our approach in competing loot rights[72] – Steven Sharif
- Q: If looting rights are based on a blended tag and damage done system, will there be any mechanics in place to ensure roles like tanks and healers have an equal shot even when they haven't dealt as much damage?
- A: That's the reason for the blended approach. The reason that we're doing a hybrid system between tag and damage done is for the purposes of those classes who may not be as DPS oriented as other classes. The tag system- all classes are going to have a sprinkling of immediate effects- of instantaneous casts and they can use that to tag a target, and that'll give them a modifier on the looting rights: So plus 10 or plus 15 will balance that, but it'll give them plus 10 to 15 on overall damage done if they tag the target and then their damage will make up the remainder of that percentage completion. So if I do 50 damage to a target but someone else has the tag I'm not going to be able to claim that looting right. They'll have done the other 50 plus 10 or 15.[73] – Steven Sharif
