Okay so I have killed several field bosses and have always gotten NOTHING. I then stick around for 2-3hrs and nothing. So first off how is the loot distributed? I have always arrived when the boss has 3/4 life left and start attacking nonstop - and ALWAYS get nothing. Can someone please explain this.
Im pretty sure your just lagging and not picking things up because on every field boss iv ever fought i got a cube.
Im not sure, bur apparently is random for all the participant. Chances are really low, so every character rolls for them and chances are, you get nothing.
So I have just been really unlucky then? Because I also don’t see myself getting money.
Which boss are you talking about things like Cerberus that drop cubes or things like red keppa that just drop all kinds of crap.
because in case 1 with Cerberus as the example if you help you get a cube.
but in example 2 with kepa you have to deal a certain amount of damage.
I have been killing Cerberus and the Necroventer in Legwyn. Kill Necro 2x and Cerberus 3x and I have 0 cubes to show for it.
thats odd i have never failed to get a cube. At this point i would have to say lag maybe?
I am wondering if it is something else… The one time I killed Cerberus I was with a party of 3 people. None of us got a cube. Mind you we showed up when he had 50% HP left. So I am wondering if there is a threshold that you need to start damaging it at before you are considered in the drop table. I.e. if you start hitting it before it hits 75% HP you get one otherwise you don’t. Has anyone gotten a cube when they show up late to a boss?
Furthermore - to address my other question; I am trying to figure out respawn times. There are quests that have a strict 1hr refresh period while I hear bosses are ‘random’. Well I doubt it is truly random because then there is a chance it never spawns. So does anyone have an idea for what the maximum threshold time might be between boss spawns?
me and 2 friends showed up to that goblin archer guy (don’t remember his name) in mausoleum at 50% and we each got a cube.
our classes were at the time
pelasta
krivis
pyro/linker
unless your right and there is just a certain amount of damage you need to put in but our group did have any particularly high damage c1 pyro isn’t that much. Unless things like threat and healing count aswell some how?
I just wish there was someone or something that could clarify all of this…
As far as I’ve seen, it has a mix of something to do with when you start hitting the boss, and how much damage you do. If you get there too late, (boss is at 60~75% HP) even if you do most of the damage, you might not get anything.
I typically do the most damage to certain bosses that I’ve farmed ( due to weaknesses / def reduction skills ), and have noticed this to be true. If I’m there when it’s at 100%, I’ll for sure get something, but if I come and it’s at 70%, I might not. Even though I’m doing most of the damage at that point.
How do you even go about finding a boss though? I have camped maps for hours and nothing. Then randomly login and there it is 50% dead already…
The best way? Make friends with people in the area doing the boss, and communicate with them.
It’s rather hard to communicate with them, when the whisper, party, and shout are all offline. X_X

On the Constructor’s Chapel F2, when I went to the area where the boss is, I got a buff that says Contributed or something along those lines. It also says something about Abandoned Altar. It disappeared after a few seconds later, then I helped with the boss. When the boss died, I didn’t get anything, so it might have something to do with that buff… Dunno.
This is essentially it. And with the Market completely down it is near impossible to do anything really in terms of gearing and testing it out. Which is why I am trying to figure it out so I can farm for the gear.
I killed 5 or 6 bosses now without beeing in a group and always got a cube so far
sometimes I arrived when they had like 40% and it still worked
I have killed 2 bosses, both at 50% when I got there, and I have not gotten a cube yet. It is so confusing how this works >_<
The loot distribution is all about damage.
Just now I saw 3 bosses in constructor chapel. I was doing fine dealing 4-5k dmg with my skills and then I got disconnected, I went back and now I’m only dealing 1 DMG to it which is annoying and I didn’t get any drops from them. :v
This mechanic sucks man.
You get that buff from killing any random mob on that map by chance.ir gives a speed boost when y pray at the altar.
Anyway of the 5 bosses I’ve seen there has always been a cube on the floor from someone who didn’t pick up his.
