WORLD BOSS FATES >:(

[Arohk]

I too really dislike the world boss system, it is completly unclear when or how to spawn one of these bosses, so far i know they are part of a long fate chain, but their spawn cooldown is absurdly long, and also the fates are not shown on the map, so you dont even know when its there.
I think i have killed the world bosses just enough times during the expansion to get all rewards, that means one kill in 6 months.
They might spawn when i am at work, or sleeping, or just not logged in and then it is a week long cooldown to happen again.

If you read the flavor text, you'd see that the face chains lead up to something.
The "absurdly long" is actually only 36-72 hours long. Dawntrail are 24-72 hours.
In the 7.0 Patch Notes (https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...918edb036b3004), the Shadowbringers and Endwalker Rare FATEs (And Dawntrail) now show up on the map when they're spawned.

Shadowbringers-
Formidable - Fair point, but both FATEs have the name.
Archaeotania - Every single FATE's flavor text says that this Ondo is looking for Archaeotania because he wants to kill it or prevent other Ondo from using it for nefarious purposes.

Endwalker-
Daivadipa - You are helping pilgrims get to where their god may be. Unfortunately, it's a false one from the Tower of Zot.
Chi - The Omicron you're helping managed to get a connection to this extremely powerful fighter. Unfortunately, you need to kill it to get that data.

Dawntrail-
Serpentlord - Read the flavor text. Three of the 4 FATEs refer to the Serpentlord and how you're helping this bounty hunter... hunt it.
Mica - Hey kid wanna be in a magical parade of funtime and death? Maybe we'll even see Mica the magical Mu to seal your FATE!
