ArcheAge Chronicles field bosses: locations & respawn times
Field bosses are strong open-world monsters that drop gear, including accessories, and crafting materials you cannot get anywhere else. Strong bosses have a Raeven's Coilstone next to them that gives trait points. The table lists only bosses we have seen in the early access client; locations, levels, and respawn times we do not know yet are marked "Pending". The field boss timer works out the next spawn from when a boss died.
| Boss | Region & spot | Level | Respawn time | Checked | Timer |

What field bosses give
- Gear: equipment, including accessories (October 15 progression post).
- Crafting materials: special materials you cannot get elsewhere. The November 3 launch announcement also says special crafting materials come from bosses.
- Trait points: destroy the Raeven's Coilstone next to a strong boss. We collect their locations on Raeven's Coilstone locations.
What kinds of bosses there are
The October 15 post says field bosses are clearly stronger than the monsters around them, so you need to learn their attack patterns. Some stand in the open, some are hidden, and some only appear during certain quests. On launch day we saw several players attacking one boss together.
How to time a respawn
We are still checking whether the game shows the next spawn time. To time it yourself, note when the boss died and when it reappeared on the same server and channel, and time it at least twice so you can record the shortest and longest gaps. Put them in "Respawn time" and "Up to" in the field boss timer.
Not confirmed yet
- Each boss's respawn time, and whether bosses spawn at fixed times or a set time after they die
- Whether bosses spawn separately on each server and channel, and whether Conflict (PvP) and Peace channels differ
- Boss levels and drop lists
We add what we confirm to this table and to News & patch notes. Boss locations also go on the interactive map.
