Age of WB

Why ?

Defeating 12 world bosses will award a legendary mantle of your choice among 4 depending on the character archetype.

mantle mage

mantle priest

mantle rogue

mantle soldier

How ?

The world boss can be done in a loop because once dead on an instance he will reappear around 45 minutes, always being announced 5 minutes before by summoners. It is strongly recommended to change instances when possible to make the most of it.

To be sure to defeat him and validate the quest, press WB until you get the “ defender of hyboria ” buff. Keep this buff until the WB dies and ideally stay alive.

To get the “ twelve signs ” quest, go to Tarantia-The-Old. The Astromancer located on the steps of the library will give you the quest. Otherwise just type the WB and the quest will be given automatically. Please note that the validation of the world boss is only done once a month for the character. Understand by this that if you return the quest and take it back to defeat it again in the same month, the validation will not be done! So check where the quest is BEFORE going to defeat the world boss!

When ?

world bosses usually appear from the first Wednesday for a week EXCEPT December, it starts on Wednesday just before Christmas. This feature means that depending on the calendar, the world boss weeks of December and January can be linked.

Check the Age of Conan Events Calendar for dates when different world bosses appear.
