π Everything you need to know about the World Boss
This_FAQ_comes_from_the_pageβAge of WBβ, check_it_out_for_more_details.π Is it mandatory to defeat each of the twelve World Bosses at least once?
No, the character can very well defeat the same World Boss twelve times, but in that case, the quest will take... twelve years!
No, it is important to turn in the quest before going to face the World Boss.
π During the same event, can we return the quest and redo the quest by validating the first step?
No, the validation can only be done the first time the character defeats the World Boss.
π Is it mandatory to speak to the Astromancer to obtain the quest?
No, if the character does not have the quest, and provided that the character has at least one available quest slot, it will be given automatically as soon as they hit the World Boss.
π How many times can the World Boss be defeated during each event?
A character can defeat the World Boss as many times as desired during the event. The more times the World Boss is defeated, the better the character will be able to claim rewards when opening chests.
No, it is actually recommended to approach a trader and/or a vendor before opening the chest. The World Boss chests can contain up to eight vanity items or other objects that the character cannot stack. A vendor can be useful for clearing out inventory, and a trader allows sending non-stackable items to another character. Be cautious, as for this case, the character you send the item to must pick it up for your character to retrieve the non-stackable item. Note that you have five minutes to retrieve any items that were placed in a bag at your feet. Lastly, chests can stack up to ten.
This rule is true, except for December! Historically, the first World Boss entered the world of Conan in December. More specifically, it is a Christmas event. For the month of December, Funcom has kept this exception.
December is marked by Christmas, which makes for an easy and recurring activity during this festive period. For all other months, there is a risk that the World Boss event overlaps with the PvP event, which starts every third Thursday of the month. The goal is therefore to offer both a Christmas event, as well as events spread throughout each other month.
First of all, it should be known that there are two types of chests: "rare" chests and "epic" chests, the latter increasing the chances of obtaining a fabulous item! A rare chest can contain an epic chest, but not the other way around! Aside from that, by opening a chest, the character can expect to obtain:
- A piece of equipment of level T1, T2, T3. The character can thus be fully equipped with T1 or T2, however, for T3, the World Boss will only drop necklaces, rings, and weapons.
- Non-offensive companions.
- Various tokens, such as esteem tokens, marks of acclaim, simple relics III, or rare relics.
- Mastery/expertise points.
- Life, endurance, or mana potions/food, various elixirs and potions.
- A piece of appearance equipment or the complete set.
- As well as potions whose usefulness is debatable :).
There is no obligation, but it is still preferable; who knows, in a few months you might be playing another character that you had neglected, and, if you donβt already have a legendary cape, it will already be well advanced in the quest ;).
π Can you level up your character by doing the World Boss?
Yes and no :D. Defeating a World Boss gives very little or no experience to your character. However, completing the quest grants around three million experience points! So make sure to block experience gain before turning in the quest with a low-level character you don't want to level up.
No, unless you acquire the said DLC. Feel free to check out our page dedicated to cheap DLCs.
π My character does not have the required level to go to the World Boss area, can I still do it?
Of course, but unless you are accompanied, you will need to at least know the hostile lands to avoid dying repeatedly while trying to get there.
Absolutely! However, note that this vendor only remains for five minutes. After this time, they will disappear. If, during their disappearance, you were busy selling items, without knowing it, your character will be bugged! Indeed, you won't be able to open any vendor or negotiant window because, although the vendor's window will have disappeared with the vendor, the system will consider the window as still open and prevent you from opening another one :/. The only solution is to log out and log back in.
It doesn't matter, but in a group or raid, the character will find it easier to heal, tank, or deal damage. Additionally, being in a group or raid allows members to switch instances more quickly without having to move to the resurrection point. One condition for this is that the group leader must go to the resurrection point and make the instance change. Once this is done, all group members will receive a warning message in red, informing them that the group leader is no longer in the same instance and asking if they want to join. Be careful, if you want to use this message to switch instances, it's best to do it quickly to avoid the instance being full and causing you to be stuck in an infinite loading screen.
It is not possible to delete the quest.
π I am told that the World Boss is on a specific instance, how can I get there?
To change instances, you need to get within twenty meters of a resurrection point, then use the select instance window, which button is located near the mini-map. Where it gets complicated is that depending on your interface, the button to open this window will not be the same:
- For the "default" interface, the button is represented by a black-and-white diamond.
- For the "Strange UI" interface, it is a double chevron pointing upwards.
- For other interfaces, the button is likely around the mini-map ;).
π I canβt see the quest objectives on my mini-map, how can I display them again?
When changing instances, it is not uncommon to click on the other option in the small menu near the mini-map, which is used to display quest objectives ;).
π Following an instance change, the game is in infinite loading, why?
This means that the instance has filled up to 100% with players while you were loading. The only solution is to force the game to close using the famous "CTRL + ALT + DELETE" and relaunch it :/.
The "playfield" instance corresponds to the "epic" instance. It is not possible to join this instance through the instance selection window. To join it, you must leave the area and then re-enter through a gate, while accepting the epic mode.
As soon as the character starts fighting the World Boss, the system considers them "in combat", even if they travel to the other side of the map. This prevents the character from using teleportation. To use it, the character must die.
Players naturally tend to go to areas where the World Boss is easiest to defeat. For example, because a resurrection point is nearby or because the access is simple. Therefore, it is important to check if there are other areas where the World Boss may appear.
π I am fighting the World Boss and I notice that many characters seem to be AFK, why?
There are many reasons for that, perhaps:
- It's the twentieth time they've done it with their character.
- They are on their fourth account and still have eight left to do.
- The dog needs to go out.
- They went to do the dishes.
- Their wife is pulling aggro on them.
- They're writing a FAQ about the World Boss.
In short, there are plenty of possible reasons :).
π My character is in unconquered mode, can I go fight the World Boss?
Yes, you can go there at the risk of getting killed.
The jokers are :
- The 50/50: try your luck in the different available instances. Note that if tombstones are visible, the World Boss will not appear for at least fifteen minutes.
- Ask a friend: in guild, on chat, on discord.
- Public voting: watch the information shared on the different chats. For example, "Chosain WB 20% at scholars city rez pad (Gun Hai)".
π I am told to join an instance, but I can't see it in the select instance window, why?
When an instance is full, it does not appear in the select instance window. You will need to wait and reopen the select instance window, as a player might crash or stop the game, leaving a spot in the instance.
By going into hide mode, the character will be able to move out of this picket line.
π bugs when downloading the installer from the ageofconan.com site
This_FAQ_comes_from_the_pageβAge of Installerβ, check_it_out_for_more_details.If we examine the faulty links, we notice that the issue comes directly from the URL! For example, let's take the link provided by ageofconan.com:r
http://https//aoc-us-update.live.ageofconan.com/download/AoC/EU/ageofconan-en.exe
We can see the presence of two Β« http:// Β» protocols, and an error in the second one, where the Β« : Β» is missing. To fix the link, simply remove Β« https// Β» to make it functional.
The different installers for Age of Conan are not hosted by the alliance francophone interguilde website. Each link allows you to download the installers hosted by Funcom.
π Bugs that may occur while riding mounts
This_FAQ_comes_from_the_pageβAge of Mountsβ, check_it_out_for_more_details.This can happen after changing zones and can be fixed by dismounting/remounting your mount or by zooming in all the way and then zooming out.
π The character is standing on the mount and it's not possible to dismount.
This bug occurs after a game crash. To dismount from your mount, you will need to:
- Find deep water to jump into
- Teleport
- Die.
This bug seems to affect certain characters and not others. Simply turning the mount sharply during its trot will cause it to start running normally.
π bugs that can occur with teleports
This_FAQ_comes_from_the_pageβAge of TPβ, check_it_out_for_more_details.The character must have his weapons put away and not be on his mount. If, despite this, the character refuses to use the card, then it is possible that he is in one of the rare areas in which this functionality is unavailable.
π The store rewards do not offer me the fifteen teleportation tokens.
This means that your account is not subscribed or the subscription is not yet activated.
π I cannot find the path of Asura, the path of Ahriman or the path of the Comrades.
Although they are paths, they are considered abilities.
π The map to the nearest cart driver does not work in Khopshef Province.
The province of Khopshef does have its chariot driver, but he does not have the same role as everywhere else, in fact, he offers free access to the Purple Lotus Swamp. In addition, this area does not have a map seller.
