__NOTOC__
[[Invasion of the World Bosses]] occurs when an unknown probably-magical phenomena causes tremendously powerful copies of named creatures to appear across Alharth. Named World Bosses, these mighty foes always appear like clockwork once defeated, suggesting a higher purpose to their summoning.
==== How It Works ====
Upon logging in, all players have a quest in their quests log listing each boss and asking you to loot the reward chests. There is a warning sign in [[Serbule Hills]] among some big rocks in the northwest of this region, directly west of the Tapestry Inn. Interacting with this sign shows the time remaining until the first boss, Empusa, appears. Once Empusa is killed, a yellow beacon of light shines in the air from a chest that anyone who contributed to defeating her can claim loot from. You can choose to come back later to get the loot, if you want to think about it or make space in your inventory. A pink portal to the next world boss will spawn. Each boss has a rewards chest and a portal that spawns leading to the next boss until the final one, Hot Flash, who spawns a portal to [[Serbule]] and to the [[Red Wing Casino]]. The portals going from one boss to the next are active for one hour.
==== Event Time ====
*June 28, 2019 - June 31, 2019.

{{Quote|source= Event Sign|
Beware! George the Kraken spawns near here! This signpost is also enchanted to anchor nearby fairies to this zone as long as they are killed within 250 meters of this sign.
IMPORTANT: The Fae death penalty immunity will dispel 30 seconds after the boss dies, so fairy players should not hesitate when respawning at the end of a fight!}}
=== October 2021 Invasion ===
During the '''October 2021 Invasion''', the Fae-Anchor signs were extended to reach 250m from the sign.

* Bosses now respawn every 8 hours instead of 6.
* The respawn timer starts when the boss' corpse disappears.
* All other functions of the encounter (Fae immunity, boss warning, Boss support mobs) will still spawn 5 minutes before the boss does.
'''New loot chest system''' - Instead of having the 3 static reward chests, a new and fresh reward chest will spawn near the boss sign every time the boss is defeated.
* This means you can collect rewards for each boss even if you have completed the event quest.
* Some reward chests in the higher level encounters will also award 1 Live Event Credit per collection.
* The reward chest must be collected within 1 hour of the boss' death.}}
=== May 2022 Invasion ===
During the '''May 2022 Invasion''', timing of the boss spawns was changed to every 7 hours. All bosses received a small buff in stats since the previous event, and damage type effectiveness changed for [[George]], [[Ciervos The Shadow]], [[Zukelmux The Intransigent]], and [[Hot Flash]].
