World Boss Milestones

Talk to the Lunar Festival Coordinator in Prontera (141, 176) to track your World Boss hunting progress.

How It Works

1. Kill any World Boss during the event period. Use @wb or talk to the World Boss Rift NPC at Prontera (152, 176) to join.
2. Every World Boss you kill counts toward your personal kill total.
3. When you reach a kill milestone (5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 kills), talk to the Lunar Festival Coordinator to claim your reward.
4. You get bonus contribution points added to the community total for each milestone!

Tracked World Bosses

These 8 World Bosses count for the event. Any kill on any of them adds to your total:

Milestone Rewards

Kill any combination of the World Bosses above to reach milestones. For example, killing 3 Dragon Reds and 2 Laumas gives you 5 total kills.

PvM Activities

Nian Beast

The legendary Nian Beast invades prt_fild08 every hour! 3 Nian Beasts spawn at the same time in random spots on the map.

How to find it:

1. Wait for the server-wide announcement: "Nian Beasts have invaded prt_fild08!"
2. Type @warp prt_fild08 to go to the map.
3. Search around the map to find and kill the beasts. They spawn in random locations each time.

Fortune Cat

A mystical Fortune Cat appears every hour in a random town! It looks like a small green cat. When someone catches (kills) it, the cat teleports to a new spot in the same town. After being caught 3 times, it escapes.

How to find it:

1. Wait for the server-wide announcement: "A Fortune Cat has appeared in [town name]!"
2. Warp to the announced town (e.g. @warp prontera).
3. Search around the town to find the cat. You have 5 minutes before it disappears!
4. After someone catches it, it teleports — look for the announcement about its new location.

Monster Red Envelope Drops

Monsters on certain maps have a chance to drop Red Envelopes when killed. Just go to any of the maps below and farm monsters normally — Red Envelopes will drop automatically!

PvP Activities

Daily PvP Quest

Every day you can earn a bonus reward just by fighting in PvP. You do not need to win — dying in PvP counts too!

How to complete it:

1. Go to any PvP map (use @go pvp or find a PvP warp NPC).
2. Fight other players — get 3 kills or 3 deaths (any mix works).
3. After 3 PvP interactions, talk to the Lunar Festival Coordinator in Prontera to collect your reward.
4. You can do this once per day. It resets at midnight.
