King Scorpia is a world boss located in The Dunes (West realm). Players must reach The Dunes 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.

Encounter

Detail	Value
Encounter type	World boss
Location	The Dunes (West)
Requirement	Total Level 20 (via The Shores) — no requirement via The Pond
HP	3,500
Respawn	Variable — no longer a fixed timer
Participation	Squad-based, individualized loot
Loot eligibility	Top 3 damage dealers who are alive at kill time
Leaderboard	Does not count toward the Boss Kills leaderboard or your guild's boss tally

Update: King Scorpia's HP was raised from 1,500 to 3,500, making him a real fight rather than a race to tag him first. His respawn is no longer a fixed 30-minute timer — the return time now varies. He has also been removed from the Boss Kills leaderboard and no longer counts toward your guild's boss tally. Loot, the mount roll, and Hard Scroll progress contribution are all unchanged.

Boss Mechanics

Mechanic	Details
Bite damage	25 HP per hit
Riposte damage	10 HP counter-attack after you hit him
Movement speed	2x faster than ordinary Scorpions
Terrain interaction	Walks straight through scenery (does not path around obstacles)
Hit-stun resistance	2x more resistant than ordinary Scorpions — shrugs off stun twice as fast
The Throw (1 in 5 attacks)	Picks you up, hurls you 6 tiles away, bounces off walls and terrain. No damage, just repositioning.

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 + cosmetic rolls.
King Scorpia Mount	1 in 500	1	Exclusive mount. Duplicates can now be collected.

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

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
