Rare Gembox Boss Monster

I think it would be cool to add a high level boss monster, such as Balorg Wing, in one of the dungeons that randomly drops a +2 pr +5 gembox with a random g1-g3 rare effect at a very low drop rate (2-3%). The boss monsters should respawn quickly, a minute or two after being killed. Players shouldn't get any experience from this monster, but they would have a chance to get unique items with rare effects other than Star Crest. This would also add a place where high level players can pk without disturbing lower level players who are trying to level up.

if the item drop is too good i think the delay should be bigger right? if it is not then ppl will just keep farming it...

Maybe it is different on this server, but last server I played on Balroc Wing spawns many other boss monsters too as it gets damaged. I forget the names, but multiple fire bosses spawn, multiple harpies, and a couple dogs too. Even as dual 5 archer with g5 symbol, 202 tactic, g20 resist all magic, g10 magic evasion, g10 smart, g20 force, g10 AC, 2 OGPs, still took me like 4 minutes and 50+ potions to kill balroc wing. On this server, people won't have all g10s and OPGs, max tactic, and dual 5 with g5 symbol, at least not anytime soon, so I doubt anyone will be able to solo it in any decent amount of time. Even if you killed it in 2 minutes and it respawned in one, it would take you 2 1/2 hours to find one.

With a normal server like this where characters aren't maxed out, I bet it would take 5-10 minutes to kill with a full group. That's 1 gembox every 4-8 hours split between many people, and it might not even have that great of a rare effect. If anything, the drop rate is too low. Maybe have only +2 gemboxes drop instead of +5, but the chance of getting the rare effect you want is too low if anything, definitely not too high.

Good point..
Ridiculously hard monsters sounds like a good idea to me as the server is kind of making everything so easy for us now.

the spawn time is way to fast... should be 1hour every spawn in my opinion. if ppl were to get any unique rare items like this, they should work realy hard for it...

Agree the spawn rate is WAY to small. People will just camp all day long and mass gemboxes. If spawn rate is longer you could increase drop rate to accumulate.

better if boses spawn at random maps... mob guilds wont have that much power over them.
