Notes	World boss in The Dunes South. Respawn timing varies. Top 3 damage dealers who are alive get loot.

King Scorpia is a world boss located in The Dunes (South realm). Players must reach The Dunes South to participate. Loot is distributed to the top 3 damage dealers who are still alive when he falls.

The fight is squad-based but uses independent rolls — no competing with your own team.

Requirement: Players need Total Level 20 to enter The Dunes from The Shores. The Dunes can also be entered from The Pond with no level requirement.

Update: King Scorpia has relocated from The Dunes West to the new The Dunes South realm. The Dunes West camp gates that previously let players fight him from the edge of a safe pen have been removed entirely — not adjusted, gone. With no safe zones anywhere in The Dunes South, there is nothing left to hide behind, which replaces the old gate rule rather than patching it. Dunes West keeps its pens and its 6 Giant Scorpions, but no longer has a boss.

Combat XP

Defeating King Scorpia grants 600 Combat XP to every player who dealt damage and is still alive inside The Dunes when the boss dies. This is a flat grant per participant.

Target	Combat XP	Notes
King Scorpia (boss kill)	600	Granted to each damage-dealing participant alive at kill time.

For comparison, other common combat XP grants include 50 XP for a Wild Zombie, 150 XP for a Wild Dragon, 350 XP for a Magma Brute, and 1,000 XP for Venomweaver.

Loot pool

Every King Scorpia kill rolls each of the following independently. Top 3 damage dealers who are alive at death get to roll.

Drop	Chance	Amount	Notes
Gold	1 in 200	18–30	Direct payout to top 3 damage dealers.
Hard Scroll	1 in 100	1	Third scroll tier. Redeem to Maelor the Scrollbinder for 30–50 Gold + 9 independent cosmetic rolls.
King Scorpia Mount	1 in 1,000	1	Exclusive mount. Duplicates can be collected.
Cacti	1 in 25	10–25	Consolation drop — offsets the heat/health cost of the fight rather than being a real reward.
Health Potion+	1 in 50	5–15	Consolation drop — offsets the heat/health cost of the fight rather than being a real reward.

Each drop rolls independently — a single kill can yield multiple drops or none.

Update: King Scorpia Mount dropped at 1 in 500; it now drops at 1 in 1,000. Two new consolation drops were added — Cacti (1 in 25) and Health Potion+ (1 in 50) — both rolled on the same top-3-alive eligibility as everything else. They're explicitly framed as handing back the fight's own running cost, not as new prizes.

King Scorpia Mount

The rare King Scorpia Mount drops only from King Scorpia himself (not from ordinary Giant Scorpions).

Stat	Value
Base speed	25%
Max speed (trained)	55%
Special mechanic	Scorpion camouflage
Duplicates	Allowed — owning one no longer blocks further drops

Update: King Scorpia Mount is no longer one-per-player. Duplicate drops are now collectible, tradeable, and stackable — useful for recipes that require more than one.

Scorpion Camouflage

While riding King Scorpia Mount:

• All ordinary Giant Scorpions ignore you completely
• Attack a Scorpion and camouflage breaks — they hunt you for 30 seconds
• Every further attack refreshes the 30-second timer
• Stop attacking and wait it out, you become invisible again
• Useful for farming or repositioning in The Dunes
