The bosses of Classic World

1. Bosses are not an EXP sourceMushmom gives 9.9 EXP per 1,000 HP. Fire Boar, a normal monster near its level, gives 71.3. Every boss is like that, so train on normal monsters and hunt bosses for quests, fame and drops.
2. Start with Mano at level 20It lives in Thicket Around the Beach III near Lith Harbor, and every class guide's Budget build needs only 31 to 43 attacks at that level. Then work up the list as you level.
3. Each boss comes back about 1 h after it diesJr. Balrog takes 3 h. Every channel has its own boss, so when you find an empty map, change channels instead of waiting.
4. Most of them hide behind hidden portalsHidden portals don't glow. Section 3 shows the way in to each one from the nearest town.
5. Rotten Mushmom, Faust and Crimson Balrog: not in the world yetThe game data has their stats, but no map you can reach spawns them.

Every boss in the game data, lowest level first. "Best nearby" is the normal monster within 10 levels below the boss that gives the most EXP per HP.

Crimson Balrog Immune to PoisonWeak to HolyResistant to Dark	100	741,240	6,000	8.1 best nearby: Officer Skeleton 40.5	no map yet

Bosses give 5 to 8 times less EXP per HP than the best normal monsters near their level, and they hit much harder.

The shortest way in from a town, map by map. Steps marked "hidden portal" have no glow: stand where the exit is and press up. The boss spawns at one spot on its map and comes back the stated time after it dies.

How many attacks each class guide's Budget build needs to kill each boss alone at the boss's level, with the Pro build under it. Each build uses its strongest single-target attack after the boss's defense, its element and your chance to hit. At about one attack a second, 60 attacks is a minute.

• under 60 attacks
• 60 to 150
• 150 or more: bring a party
• fastest Budget build
• ^! the Budget build hits less than 75% of the time
• * the guides plan up to Lv. 70, so higher bosses are sized up at 70

Use their weak spots

• Fire: Stumpy, Mushmom and Rotten Mushmom take 25% more from fire, so a Fire/Poison Wizard's Fire Arrow hits them harder.
• Holy: Shade, Zombie Mushmom, Rotten Mushmom, Faust, Jr. Balrog and Crimson Balrog take 25% more from holy attacks like the Cleric's Holy Arrow.
• Undead: Shade, Zombie Mushmom and Rotten Mushmom. A Cleric's Heal hurts them too.
• No poison: Jr. Balrog and Crimson Balrog can't be poisoned, so Fire/Poison Wizards stick to fire there.
• Bosses dodge more than the monsters around them, and the Budget builds of Fighter, Page, Spearman, Assassin, Bandit miss a lot of attacks. A Sniper or Dexterity Potion (see the potions guide) helps where the table shows "!".

These quests ask you to beat a boss or bring something only it has. Do them on the same trip.

Quest rewards are the game data's. Lines marked with a town need that town's citizenship (see Town citizenship).

Items only bosses have

• Rainbow-colored Snail Shell from ManoUntradeable
• Mushmom Spore from Mushmom50,000 mesos
• Torn Note from MushmomUntradeable
• Rotten Mushmom Cap from Rotten Mushmom-

Their own text or a quest says where they come from. Keep the untradeable ones for their quest, and sell spare tradeable ones to players: an NPC pays very little for them.

DropsThe game client has no drop tables. HubCW learns drops from item pickups on stream, and a boss that shares its map with other monsters can't be told apart from them yet, so each boss's monster page lists its maybes.

Boss decorations for your home

Each of these bosses has a decoration for town housing. The game data doesn't say how you get them.

• Mano Statue Mano-
• Stumpy Figure Stumpy-
• Mushmom Balloon Mushmom-
• Painting of Shade Shade-
• Painting of Zombie Mushmom Zombie Mushmom-
• Painting of Rotten Mushmom Rotten Mushmom-
• Jr. Balrog Horn Jr. Balrog-
• Crimson Balrog Helmet Crimson Balrog-

• Every boss attacks on sight and hits far harder than the monsters around it. Keep your HP high and your potion key close: the potions guide has the cheapest ones.
• Clear the normal monsters on the map first, so they don't get in the way of your attacks or add their hits to the boss's.
• Ranged classes (Bowmen, Assassins, Magicians) can attack from a distance and step away when it gets close. Warriors and Bandits trade hits, so they spend more on HP potions.
• The map is empty? The boss is on its timer. Try the same map on another channel.

• From the game data: each boss's level, HP, EXP, defense, avoid, elements, the maps it spawns on and their spawn timers, the portals in, the quests and the item texts. They update when the game does.
• Calculated: attacks to kill = HP ÷ (hits per attack × chance to hit × average damage after defense and element), from each class guide's own damage formula, gear and skill levels at the boss's level (Lv. 70 at most). Defense, element and hit-chance rules are the class guides' (community formulas); a boss above your level dodges more than shown. Burns, poison, Final Attack and the boss's own attacks aren't counted.
• Spawn timers are the map's, from the game client. The server can add a little randomness.
• Not confirmed: how Rotten Mushmom, Faust and Crimson Balrog appear. Rotten Mushmom's map is in the game files but not linked to the world; Faust is in the 21 October patch notes without a map. If you meet one, tell us where at [email protected].
• Prices are the median HubCW sale of the last 30 days, or the median Free Market ask when nothing sold; a dash means neither.
