Bosses
The three kinds of boss fight: a dungeon boss you face alone, World Bosses the whole shard fights together, and Guild Bosses your guild raises for itself.
Dungeon Bosses
One at the bottom of every dungeon. Summoned with gold, fought alone, once a week — and you can lose your gear.
World Bosses
Shard-wide raids through red moongates, fought on a stage five floors deep. Free to die in, and paid out by how much damage you dealt.
Guild Bosses
Raised by your guild with its contribution, for its own members only, and fought on foot in the boss's own room.
