Ryan 873 Posted September 17, 2020 The Nightmare Boss The Nightmare has entered Runex, debuting as the server's most dangerous challenging boss to date! Join the action by teleporting to "The Nightmare" lobby (page two of boss teleports) When you kill The Nightmare with a group, every player who survived the entire fight and dealt 250+ damage will receive a drop! Not only does it include new exclusive drops, but you are also granted the option of multiple different modes! Global: An entirely public instance, with a capacity of up to 50 players at once! This version of Nightmare has slightly more rarity in its drop rates. You can only join when The Nightmare is sleeping and waiting to wake up for the next fight (3 minute timer) Party: Create or join a private party to fight The Nightmare with up to 4 friends (5 total players). A great feature with party mode is that you can skip the 3 minute wait timer by waking up The Nightmare! Night Terror (hardcore): A more challenging version of Nightmare, unlocked after 100+ Nightmare kills. Includes better drop rates, and some exclusive rewards! The Night Terror works in the form of party mode (1-5 players max, etc.) Death Penalties This boss is not meant to be easy! If you die in Global or Party mode, your items will be held in a "death coffer" and will cost quite a bit of gold to get them back! (Before entering, you will be told how much your setup would cost to recover if you died, and you'll be asked to confirm & agree to the risk) If you die in Night Terror mode, everything except your most valuable item is lost forever! Untradeable/autokeep items are held in the coffer though, for 2X the usual cost to redeem New to the boss and afraid of the consequences? There's a Practice mode under the Global category where you can fight The Nightmare boss without a death penalty but you will not receive loot or killcount Exclusive Rewards Inquisitor armor Each piece boosts damage against The Nightmare and Night Terror by +7.5%. Includes a full set effect, which grants +10% damage and accuracy with maces, bludgeons, hammers, and mauls. Inquisitor mace Special attack deals heavy damage and heals you for 50% of the damage dealt Inquisitor blessing Exclusively obtained from The Night Terror. Increases mace, maul, bludgeon and hammer accuracy by +10% and damage by +10% Eldritch orb Attaches to the Nightmare staff to create the Eldritch staff Special attack costs 75% and steals the foes prayer. In PvM it has a 1/5 chance to restore your prayer by 10% of the damage dealt!

In PvM it has a 1/5 chance to deal an extra +65% damage critical hit! Terror orb Exclusively obtained from The Night Terror.

Because of all the drop rate bonus stacks added from updates over the years, restrictions were added which caused a lot of confusion: Drop rate cap at 90% (anything at 100%+ would cause a "guarantee drop" so we had to restrict this possibility). A rather disorganized / confusing "curve system" which would result in diminishing returns after 50%+ drop rate bonus. This was added to prevent too many items entering the game, but this sloppy solution caused confusion. Drop rate bonuses didn't feel like they were helping the way they should, leading to a lot of confusion for players. This is a big reason why we decided to overhaul the bonus system entirely (see below).. The good news (overhaul): We've now changed to a multiplicative system, which not only frees up room for more new content w/ drop rate bonuses (without harsh detriment to the eco), but also allows for a much more transparent system that can be easily understood by players! How to calculate your bonus under the new system: You will notice that your bonus in the equipment screen is now over 100% (this is because 100% = default / no bonus, rather than 0%) Here's how you can calculate how it effects your drop rates: Example: If a drop chance is 1/500 and your drop rate bonus is 175%.. 500 / 1.75 = 285.7 = 286 (rounded up) New drop rate: 1/286 Note: Drop rate bonuses for most items in game have been scaled up, in order to better suite this new systemNote: Drop rate bonuses only apply for drops that are rare+ (1/50 chance or up) You can now view your drop rate bonus (includes most passive boosts like luck horns as well) Enchantment Chest Additions The enchantment chest's interface has been given a great overhaul! Enchantments are now categorized, and can also be individually searched for more convenient navigation And yes, there are some brand new game changing enchantments to go along with this Imbuing crystal Costs an imbuing stone, with a 10% success chance!
