World Boss Milestones
Talk to the Lunar Festival Coordinator in Prontera (141, 176) to track your World Boss hunting progress.
New to World Bosses? Check the World Boss Guide to learn how the World Boss system works, how to join, and when they spawn.
How It Works
Kill any World Boss during the event period. Use @wb or talk to the World Boss Rift NPC at Prontera (152, 176) to join.
Every World Boss you kill counts toward your personal kill total.
When you reach a kill milestone (5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 kills), talk to the Lunar Festival Coordinator to claim your reward.
You get bonus contribution points added to the community total for each milestone!
