[April 11th, 2022] Nex boss, and MUCH more! (2024)

NEW Nex Boss

Nex has entered Runex! In order to join the battle you must..

• Have Elite GWD unlocked
• Teleport to the Nex lobby via "Boss teleports"

At the lobby, you will notice a portal entrance. It will be "purple" if the global Nex has not spawned yet, and "red" if there is currently a session (you must wait until players in the arena kill Nex)

Modes

There are two different modes of Nex:

• Global:Up to 75 players, can only join while Nex is dead / respawning (1 min 30 second timer)
• Private:Up to 10 players, can be soloed or friends can join. But it has requirements!
  • Must have theBook of Divinefully completed and 50+ Global Nex killsto unlock this mode
  • Spend3x Nihil dustin order to create/join a private instance (droppedonlyby Global Nex)
  • As long as people in your friends list meet these requirements, they can enter your name to join your private instance!

As a private instance owner, you can fully managethe spawn orb and add/reduce time, or just skip to the start.

In addition, we've taken into account a few things such as: players leeching (not putting effort in the group), high-performing players not being rewarded enough at global instances, etc.

As a result, we've put togethertwo separate drop systemsfor Nex depending on the criteria of the fight

Competitive Drop Mode

This drop mode is picked in a global instance with 4+ players, or a full private instance (10 players)

• Unique drops from nex requires the player to be within 75% top damage dealer to follow the correct drop rate on Nex's droptable. If the player is not within the 75% top damage dealer the unique rares are doubled in their rarity (1/400 is now 1/800)
• Top 10% damage dealers get a +25% drop rate bonus
• MVP (#1 damage dealer) gets a +35% drop rate bonus (does not stack with top 10%)

Normal Drop Mode

Boss drops as normal bosses do. This mode is picked inglobal instances with 1-3 players, or a private instances that is not full (1-9 players)

Depending on the size of the group, MVP bonuses may still apply.

Phases

Nex has five different phases, each (except the last) associating with one of her bodyguards located in each corner.

Once Nex reaches below (80%/60%/40%/20% HP) she will call the respective bodyguard's name andwill no longer take damageuntil thebodyguard is killed

We recommend reading / watching guides on this boss as they are actually very similar to RuneX's.

A few things to note that are somewhat custom:

• Prayer drain from all of Nex's smite attacks are reduced by 1/2 if you're using a Spectral spirit shield (including intrinsic ofc)
  
• Nex has some resistance against melee and magic. She is weak to ranged, and has additional weakness against crossbows!
  
• She does not have an "embrace darkness" special in theShadow Phase (#2). Instead, your protection players will be less effective the closer you are to her during that phase
  
• Ice prisonduring theIce Phase (#4)can not be broken by the player in it,unlessyou are soloing it. You must be wielding a crush weapon - and the higher the bonus, the higher the icebreaking chance!

Elite God Wars

Elite GWD plays an integral part in the new rewards from Nex, as many requireElite god componentsto craft. You can obtain these components by smeltinganyelder god item/weapon at the Ancient Forge (other path outside of the Nex lobby)

With the increased activity we foresee at Elite GWD, we've made some adjustments to accommodate

• Improved farming forEcumenical shardsto promote usage of instances
  • Increased drop quantity of ecu-shards from followers (outside of boss rooms) and removed the 10 min drop cooldown
  • Increased drop quantity of ecu-shards from bosses/minions and improved their rate
  • Added a 25% chance to receive an ecu-shard drop in instanced boss rooms
• Improved farming forElder shards / orbs
  • Elite Graardor shard drops are now x20instead of x10, and rate improved from1/100to1/50
  • Elite Kree'arra shard drops are nowx15instead ofx10, and rate improved from1/100to1/50
  • Elite K'ril shard drop rate improved from1/100to1/50

  • Superior Kree'arrarare shard drop (x100-150)chance increased from 1/50 to 1/33
