wow World Bosses in Legion

[Zadina 923]

A preview of the 11 Legion world bosses.

The Broken Isles are a continent full of vicious challenges and mighty foes. The most powerful of them are the 11 new world bosses.

Unlike Warlords of Draenor, world bosses in Legion are going to remind you of the good old days of Mists of Pandaria or even vanilla! Here is a summary of what we know about them.

General Info

• There are 11 world bosses in total, but only 1 of them will be active each week per realm. The selection is random.
• The active world boss will always be the target of a World Quest. The World Quest will last several days, so you have time to kill it. Read Blainie's guide on World Quests here.
• The group size to defeat these world bosses depends on your skill and patience. Some groups have managed to kill them with just 5 people and clever kiting. A raid of 20 people will need around 6 minutes to kill a world boss. To be comfortable, take a raid of 30+ players.
• Each boss drops ilvl 860 gear for a specific slot (Head, Feet etc), a specific type of relic and either a ring, neck, trinket or cloak.
• The drop chance seems to be low, most of the time you will probably get no loot. On the plus side, the World Quests for world bosses yield good rewards.
• You are loot eligible once a week for each world boss.
• 3 of them are in Stormheim, 2 in Highmountain, 2 in Azsuna, 2 in Val'sharah and one in Suramar. Ana-Mouz's location is unknown.

Ana-Mouz

Ana-Mouz didn't grace us with her presence in the Beta, so we don't know much about her. The Adventurer's Journal states that "she uses various area-denial abilities to limit where enemies can safely stand and she summons Lesser Minions". This imp mother drops chests, a Fel relic and an Inscription recipe for a Vantus Rune.

Loot

 Vantus Rune Technique: Tichondrius,  Sheer Felthreaded Robe,  Skimpy Demonleather Tunic,  Crop Top Chain Hauberk,  Low-Cut Chestplate,  Imp-Eye Diamond,  Demonic Birthstone Ring,  Imp Mother's Loincloth.

Calamir dwells in Azsuna. It is an elemental that shifts between using Arcane, Fire and Frost abilities. It drops boots for all armor types, a Fire relic and a Jewelcrafting design.

Loot

 Design: Sorcerous Shadowruby Pendant,  Calamir's Jaw,  Frostburned Sabatons,  Mana-Tanned Sandals,  Pendant of Cold Flame,  Ring of Frozen Magic,  Sandals of Frozen Ash,  Warboots of Smoldering Fury.

It's just an appearance though, so it isn't make or break your gameplay.

True, but that's all anyone gets this go-round.

Does anyone know if the world bosses are already available directly after launch or are they postponed to the starting week of raiding?

Quite interested in it but couldn't find the information.

[Zadina 923]

I would expect so, given that World Quests will be available from launch and these bosses are tied to WQs,

[Ariecho 15]

Thank you, Zadina!

Awesome info! Love the idea of hardest World Bosses.

However I have one question. Are the 3 World Bosses the same for all servers or we will we available to do Server Hops to kill all of them in one week?

[Zadina 923]

From what we know, World Quests and World bosses are different for each server. Not sure how realmhopping will work... I know they wanted to be stricter with realmhopping so it might not be allowed. Besides, I get the feeling it's not worth doing these world bosses if you don't have the World Quest for them, given that the drop rate of their loot table in the Beta was pretty low.

[demonardvark 556]

poor jim, he's been having a rough time lately. i really want him to be the hardest boss to kill. of all of them he is the strangest to look at and seems to be rather harmless. he's just chillin in his cave and we come and mess with him. poor guy,

Is it possible to trade loot received from world bosses like in dungeons and raids or different rules apply to them?

[Zadina 923]

I am not too sure but it should be, if you are in the same party/raid with other people. If you just see a raid killing Jim and he's at 5% and you manage to tag him, I don't think others will be able to trade you loot.

Anyone knows if you can get loot of the weekly worldboss if you are a low level? i've killed them on some and did receive like 30 gold, as i would on my lvl 110 character if no gear peice drops instead.

Honestly not sure tbh - I know that you can't receive the reward from the World Quest, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. Hopefully someone else might be able to help out!

Just tried and you can not. Kind of dumb but it is what it is

Yeah, that's pretty lame. Maybe it'll get changed with 7.1.5 or shortly after!
