Combat XP	1,300 Combat XP per kill

Notes	World boss in The Dunes South. Stays down until a region event wakes him on one server; a banner names the server and place. Scroll rates: Hard 1/200, Medium 1/150.

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 — World event (v5.8): King Scorpia no longer camps on a private 20–40 minute timer. He stays down until an event wakes him on one server; the whole region is told which server and place via a banner. Scroll rates were halved (Hard 1/100→1/200, Medium 1/75→1/150) so scrolls-per-hour stay flat while he rises about twice as often. See Update:Hitsplats.

Update: Because he's now available many times a day on every server instead of rarely on one, his HP was raised (2,500 → 4,000) and his drop rates were cut hard to compensate for the much higher kill frequency. See Loot pool below.

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. Dunes West keeps its pens and its 6 Giant Scorpions, but no longer has a boss.

Encounter

Detail	Value
Encounter type	World boss
Location	The Dunes South
Requirement	Total Level 20 (via The Shores) — no requirement via The Pond
HP	4,000
Aggro range	12 tiles (flat radius — no edge of the arena to stand on)
Spawn	World event — one announced server in the region; banner names server + place (v5.8)
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
Nearby mobs	Shares the realm with 8 regular Scorpions — one fewer than the east realms, leaving room to fight the boss without standing in other players' aggro

Boss Mechanics

Mechanic	Details
Bite damage	23–36 HP per hit (rolled)
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.
World boss exemption	Not subject to aggro fatigue (the 90-second chase → 30-second breather rule that applies to regular mobs). King Scorpia chases without a break.

Combat XP

Defeating King Scorpia grants 1,300 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)	1,300	Granted to each damage-dealing participant alive at kill time.

For comparison, other retuned combat XP grants include 110 XP for a Giant Scorpion, 100 XP for a Magma Brute <ref>Figure as given in an earlier balance pass patch note — conflicts with previously documented Magma Brute XP values (175 base / 350 with Lvl 2 Sword / 367 with guild bonus). Not yet confirmed whether this is a new flat base or a replacement of the weapon-scaling system. Verify in-game before treating as final.</ref>, and 750 XP for Venomweaver.

Loot pool

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

Drop	Chance	Amount	Notes
Gold	1 in 300	18–30	Direct payout to top 3 damage dealers. Reduced from 1 in 200.
Scroll (Hard or Medium)	See note	1	Only one scroll drops per kill — Hard Scroll is checked first, Medium only rolls if Hard doesn't hit. See correction note below.
King Scorpia Mount	1 in 1,500	1	Exclusive mount. Duplicates can be collected. Gildable. Reduced from 1 in 1,000.
Cacti	1 in 25	10–25	Consolation drop — unchanged.
Health Potion+	1 in 50	5–15	Consolation drop — unchanged.

Update — Scroll rates (v5.8): Hard Scroll 1 in 200 (was 1 in 100). Medium Scroll 1 in 150 (was 1 in 75). Rates were halved when spawn frequency roughly doubled, holding scrolls-per-hour flat. Other drops unchanged. See Update:Hitsplats.

Correction — King Scorpia scroll mechanic: King Scorpia's Hard Scroll and Medium Scroll are not independent rolls — only one scroll drops per kill. Hard Scroll is checked first (currently 1 in 750); if it doesn't hit, Medium Scroll is checked at a compensated rate calibrated to land at the stated 1 in 400 overall. This is different from Venomweaver, where the Medium and Hard Scroll rolls genuinely are independent and both can land on the same kill. This mechanic has not been reversed by the latest update — only the underlying numbers changed.

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
Gilding	Supported — Sorrel can gild it into a Gold King Scorpia Mount (20%/40%/60% success for 1/2/3 mounts input, all inputs burned regardless of outcome)

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
