Fixes/changes that still need fixing

— Spawning the bosses takes HOURS.. its tedious boring work that needs refining and made into something more fun.
— Spider boss is currently offline
— Scorpion, Canine, Feline and Snake were never released to live.

Where to find the Critter Champions

Critter Champions are spawned by you!
Each Critter Champion has its own attributed critter type, so the Squirrel Champion will be linked with all the normal squirrel critters, the Crab Champion with the crab critters etc.
The Champions will get very cross and spawn only when enough of their kin has been slaughtered, so to spawn the Squirrel Chamion you must kill many Squirrel Critters! The spawn will be random, it can take thousands of critter kills.

The Critter Champions can be spawned by any level character in any level zone (exemptions that we know about are listed at the bottom of this page), the Champions will always be level 70 with a T2 raid difficulty.

Only specific areas with critters will spawn the Champions, please let us know if you find a new area!

The 'Homesick' buff on the boss lets you know how long you have left to kill it.
So we gotta kill Critters?

Indeed. More specifically, Critters of a certain type in a certain area to spawn the boss you want.
— You do not need to mentor down to kill the critters, so feel free to spam that level 70 AOE!
— You are after quantity not quality! If you find a good spot to farm a specific critter type let us know!
— After a few attempts to spawn a boss, we estimate it takes around 3000-4000 critter kills to spawn a boss, this will take group of 10 players around 2 hours of critter killing, adding more players will reduce the time, so the more the merrier!
— When the boss spawns you will have 60 mins to kill it before it despawns.. So ensure you make a group quickly to kill it and try not to be spawning a boss if there are already bosses up elsewhere being killed, one at a time is the way to go!
— The boss will stay still after it spawns, it doesn’t wander around.

What is a Critter?

Critters are usually smaller mobs that are neutral (yellow) before you agro them.
They are almost always level 1 with very little health (easy to one shot even at low level).
There are various critter creatures in every zone. You will want to find areas with high concentrations of a specific critter to farm while trying to spawn the bosses.

Killing the Critter Champions..

The Critter Champions are super mean. These are open world bosses designed to be killed by at least a full raid, preferable 2 or 3 full raids!
— The Critter Champions will always be level 70 with a set health pool, they do not scale for the amount of players, so the more players you can get in your group the easier it will be!
43.9 BILLION health – Requiring 12,194,444 DPS as a group – Be aware all the bosses have mechanics that will stun/snare/trap players which will significantly lower your DPS.
— Any player can join in – Those without enough HIT will be boosted to 2400 HIT while near the boss.
— All of the Critter Champions spawn adds.. lots and lots of adds! Make sure you have some AoE crowd control and a decent tank or 2!
— There will be a lot of raid damage, as well as random stuns, webbing and other effects.. don’t assume that these are tank and spank!
— You can hit the boss and then walk away, allowing people with high DPS to make the kill, this will hopefully help with the lag issues too! Check to see if there are enough people killing before you walk away. If you leave, you will still get your Doubloon loot, but you wont get the cheevo for killing and may not be eligible for other drops.

Rewards for the kill!

The Critter Champions drop a new kind of currency called Planar Doubloons.
They also drop pets which will give you a cheevo when you summon then. These pets are tradeable to other players.

These currencies were planned as a whole new tier of currency, with many different quests that rewarded them and vendors for each type to buy tier 3 items. Although some of this was testing on the PTS, none of it has made it to live shards..
Thus this currency is useless!

The only reason to kill these critter bosses at the moment is to get the kill cheevo and to hope the pet drops for you. There are no other rewards.. thus you will find most players stopped bothering to try to kill them.

tar squirrel

Killing

It is widely accepted now that the best way to kill this is with a super strong tank, with good AOE agro and lots of heals directed at them. The whole raid/groups should all stack up as close as possible to the tank. This will ensure the tanks can gather up the squirrel adds quickly and healers can throw ‘do not die’ cooldowns on the tanks til the adds despawn.

Abilities

Squirrel Summon – The boss will spawn a group of baby squirrels.. THEY HIT HARD. The tank needs to grab them asap and be healed A LOT. Single Target DPS is a must to ensure you don’t accidentally agro the little squirrels.

Critter summon NPC in Ashenfell - PTS Only

A solution to reduce the difficulty of spawning these bosses was to add an NPC that sells ‘lures’ for them.
Unfortunately this NPC was only tested on the PTS and did not make it to live.
The details that were tested are explained below.

An NPC has arrived in the Arena of Souls in Ashenfell to sell you an item that will summon a world boss.
/setwaypoint 2770 3420
The NPC can only be seen on a PVP shard while you have the critter killer debuff active.
The critter killer debuff will be active for 10 minutes after killing any critter.

You can only buy one each day. Once you have bought your bag of critters, that bag will lock for the rest of the day.
