Ryan 873 Posted April 11, 2022 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 the Book of Divine fully completed and 50+ Global Nex kills to unlock this mode Spend 3x Nihil dust in order to create/join a private instance (dropped only by 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 manage the 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 together two separate drop systems for 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 in global 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 and will no longer take damage until the bodyguard 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 the Shadow Phase (#2). Instead, your protection players will be less effective the closer you are to her during that phase Ice prison during the Ice Phase (#4) can not be broken by the player in it, unless you 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 require Elite god components to craft. You can obtain these components by smelting any elder 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 for Ecumenical shards to 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 for Elder shards / orbs Elite Graardor shard drops are now x20 instead of x10, and rate improved from 1/100 to 1/50 Elite Kree'arra shard drops are now x15 instead of x10, and rate improved from 1/100 to 1/50 Elite K'ril shard drop rate improved from 1/100 to 1/50 Superior GWD boss common shard drop increased from x5-15 to x20-25 Superior Graardor rare shard drop (x100-150) chance increased from 1/50 to 1/25 Superior Kree'arra rare shard drop (x100-150) chance increased from 1/50 to 1/33 Superior Graardor and Kree'arra elder orb drop chance increased from 1/500 to 1/250 Superior K'ril and Zilyana elder orb drop chance improved from 1/500 to 1/350 Rewards Torva Armor Torva armor is dropped as (broken) and must be repaired by using an Elite god component on it (x1 component per piece). Once equippable, it has a set effect called "Zaros's Fury") - where all of your melee attacks have a 10% chance for 1/2 of the damage to heal your prayer and health. Additionally, you can use this armor to craft the newest BiS melee set.. Smelting a full torva set (each piece required) at the Ancient Forge will give you x10 Torva components. These components can be used on Crestbearer armor to upgrade it into Cr. Torva. There is a cosmetic variant if you attach the components to Crestbearer (t) as well Cr. torva helmet: 4x Torva components, 1x Elite component, 1x Crestbearer helmet Cr. torva body: 8x Torva components, 1x Elite component, 1x Crestbearer chestplate Cr. torva legs: 6x Torva components, 1x Elite component, 1x Crestbearer chestplate The cr. torva pieces have improved stats, and the combined effects of Crestbearer and Torva Zaryte crossbow The c'bow can be crafted by combining the following items: x1 Nihil horn x250 Nihil shards x4 Elite god components It has the following effects: Passively boosts all bolt spec damage by +10% in PvP, and +20% in PvM Special attack guarantees a bolt spec Zaryte vambraces This item drops directly from Nex! It has the following effects: Increases zaryte ranged weapon damage by +33% in PvM Ancient godsword This godsword can be crafted by combining the following items: Ancient hilt x25 Godsword blades It's special attack will "mark" your opponent.
