Boss Loot & Drop Announcements

Killing a boss pays out everything to the summoner — the player whose key opened the portal. The haul is the same whether you fought solo or brought a full party, so summoning is the privilege and the loot is yours alone. If the summoner is offline when the boss dies, their drops wait safely in /stash.

Party size never changes the table. Bringing friends helps you survive the fight, but it doesn't split or multiply the rewards — only the summoner is paid.

Network-wide drop announcements

Land a Legendary or Mythic drop and the whole network finds out. Every player sees a chat banner naming you and the item, while lightning strikes and fireworks burst where you're standing. Mythic drops add a dragon-roar on top.

There's no server-wide title pop — that was removed. Mythic stays as the chat banner plus the roar.

Per-boss chase items

Each boss has its own signature set, and each guards a rare chase item worth chasing. Lamia and Echidna drop tradeable special items as their rarest pulls, and every boss now guards trims of its own: Lamia her armour trim, Echidna the Broodborn armour and pickaxe trims, Thanatos his armour trim, and Hephaestus both his armour trim and the new Hephaestus weapon trim that pairs with it. The full table for each lives on its own boss page — go find out what's waiting.

The four Uber bosses roll from their own loot tables, separate from the normal fights — uniques, Mythic Booster Boxes, mining charges and more. Their tables show in /loot once you've seen them.

Exceptional orbs

Every boss drops a signature exceptional enchant orb. The maximum level its enchant can reach:

  • Lamia: Efficiency 6
  • Echidna: Momentum 6
  • Thanatos: Lucky 4
  • Hephaestus: Powerball 4

Exceptional orbs don't apply for free: by default they have a 50% success rate, and each one must be charged with Ancient Energy before it can be applied at all. A failed application is consumed, so it's worth lining up the application before you spend one.

Every Uber boss drops an exceptional orb of its own, one per boss, on top of the four above.

Browsing a table in /loot

Every boss table is browsable in /loot, and each entry now renders as the real item it drops instead of a nameless placeholder — Gravecall, flares, sigils and lootboxes included. Boss tables are discovery-gated, so a drop you haven't pulled yet stays hidden until you land it once. The Uber tables appear the same way, each row carrying that boss's own summoning-key art.

Bad-luck protection

The full drop table for each boss lives on its own page. See Lamia, Echidna, Thanatos, and Hephaestus. If a particular chase item keeps eluding you, set it as your RNG Meter target so each kill brings you measurably closer to a guaranteed drop.
