    Can world bosses get a little more love?

    Just failed the Odin fight today due generally to lack of time and people. I remember back during the 2.0 and 3.0 releases how literally half the server would go to get one shot by literally the most dangerous enemies in the overworld for the thrill of the fight and AT the time the glamour rewards.

    All four world bosses we have now are generally fun fights and nowadays most people have next to no incentive to do the fights since either people have everything the bosses have to offer or just don't care for the rewards.

    I don't think it'd be a bad idea to add the same rewards (if not more) to world bosses that we get from S rank hunts just to keep their relevancy up. I know in reality they're just fates but it is kinda sad to see these awesome world bosses spawn and watch their timers run dry because no one cares for their glamor rewards.

    I dunno maybe I'm just too sentimental with Odin, what do you all think?

    I've actually thought about this very thing, so I would approve of this.

    It pains me to see these fates get called out an then go ignored because, as you said, too many people simply gain nothing from a participation at this point. The battles themselves are far too well done to just be left to rot.

    Adding the S-rank reward to these fates would keep them relevant almost permanently, since hunts themselves also never truly die. In addition, since these fates are also rather tougher to kill than the S ranks due to the built-in level/ilevel sync, it seems fair to add this extra reward, these bosses really cannot be steamrolled the same way your average S can be.

    Make them a SSS Rank mob (more Hunting seals and such). Remains a FATE (though as we know, Odin, Coeurlregina and Prey Online still require us to look for them) and therefore gains/recedes in power from previous fights depending on how many people join.

    Wouldnt it make sense to just increase the time duration of the fate?

    I know a lot of people don't bother because they don't actually get anything from completing it. I had to fight Odin 5 times before I got any rewards, because I didn't have a group that could score enough points on him to earn anything lol. I kept doing it because I liked the fight, but I didn't know you could actually get stuff from him until that 5th time. XD So that might have a lot to do with it too. People in their FCs tell them "oh you can get cool stuff!" but when you show up solo, that's not the case.

    Behemoth I got lucky. He spawned just as I was running by to go gather. Did some shouting. It only got me a full party within 10 minutes, but more showed up by the end.

    And I don't think I even know what the other 2 bosses are, tbh lol.

    Yeah glamor rewards and the thrill of the fight aside there's no real reward for them and I can honestly say those fights are 10x more challenging than an S rank even with the player mobs you normally see at S ranks

    I want the rewards and want to do the FATEs, but I have only ever been able to successfully do the coeurl one. I've gotten there in time to get bronze for Odin twice, and I think I saw the Behemoth and Ultima FATEs once but was too late.

    I wish that there was a way to know when the FATE was coming, so I could actually plan to be in the zone on time. I have tried camping in the zones but had no luck.

    There is -- most of these FATEs are preceeded by a special weather condition (Tension for Odin, Hyperelectricity for Proto-Ultima, Royal Levin for Coeurlregina ....)

    It's a simple fix. World bosses should give Allied seals and Centerio seals. Maybe 2000 Aliied and 500 cent and that would be more than enough incentive.

    I don't think they should give seals because they aren't hunts, but I would totally do Odin for 100 lore and 30 scripture
