[b]What are Boss souls?[/b]
-Boss souls are souls that you can place onto a weapons level 75+ you can obtain one by killing a boss several times a day and getting soul shards, 10 soul shards make one random soul.
[b]How can i enchant my weapon?[/b]
-You can enchant it by using a soul enchanter, there are 30%'s, 70%'s, and 100%'s
[b]What if i can't find a soul enchanter? [/b]
-If you can't find one, ask around. You can get a 30% one from WG/TP or DH2 monsters (rare chance) or get services from a friend, because they're untradeable.
[b]Why is there a red circle above my head?[/b]
-That circle is where your boss will be shown off, after collecting either 200 or 250 souls (from killing monsters) you will see a purple gauge fill up and soon your boss will be shown above your head.
[header] Level 1 Souls [/header]
First off, there are the basic souls that just add a small boost to your range, not very strong but are easily obtainable because everyone does them; they add very little stats(4-12 main stat, 2-10 all stat) to help you and up to about 5-10 watk/matk when fully charged. These bosses include (and are not limited to)
-Dragon Rider
-Zakum
-Ephinia
-Rock Spirit
-Prison guard Ani
-Xerxes
-King Rex
-Balrog
-Mu gong
-Pianus
[header] Level 2 Souls [/header]
Second, you have the decent souls, They give more to one stat and some to all stats and watk matk than a level 1 type soul(15-20 main stat, 12-18 all stats), they're good for training weapons such as empress or reverse/fearless, etc. These bosses include( and are not limited to)
-Hilla
-Arkarium
-Pink Bean
-Von Leon
[header] Level 3 Souls [/header]
Third, you got the souls that give the most to one stat and give either +24 to one stat and/or 15 to all; with 20 w/matk they are pretty strong and can be used for endgame weapons. These bosses include(and are not limited to)
-Magnus
-Empress
-Murgoth
[header] Types of Souls [/header]
There are also 2 types of souls, summons and 1 time attacks. Summon type souls are alot better if you're training/mobbing and the 1 time attacks are horrible, not really useful for anything unless you're trying to just dish out alot of damage in a small amount of time. When bossing summon soul;s attacks do not kill you if their attacks hit a mob with DR; they just do 1 damage. [edited, ty @CantFeelThis]
[b] Summon Souls include:[/b]
-Hilla
-Pink Bean
-Empress
-Murgoth
[b]1 time attackers include:[/b]
- Von Leon
-Dragon Rider
-Xerxes
-Prison guard Ani
-Zakum
-Arkarium
-Magnus
[b]Buff up/Debuff Souls include: [/b]
-Ephinia
-Mu Gong
-Pianus
(will add more later)
[header] Magnificent Souls [/header]
Finally, you have the best of the best souls and those souls are the magnificent souls. Extremely hard to to get one when attempting to get one but they are possible, there are like 7(that I know) in Windia. The paragraph above doesn't matter. All magnificent souls are summons no matter what and the reason they don't show ANY stats at all is because they are unique and that they are random stats you don't know what it is until you equip it.[edited, thank you @anthoy84] These souls besides murgoth are the only tradeable ones and they go for billions, a PB magnificent soul sold for 4b. (here in Windia) I've seen an empress go for about 15b; same for magnus. These souls are the best souls in the game because they give the greater stats i.e att%, matk%, pdr%, crit%, etc. If you get a magnificent soul, you're better off selling it because it makes ALOT of money. Now it's YOUR turn to pick a boss that fits you.
Please note that i know i am missing some bosses mainly because i do not see them in Windia and if my info is wrong somewhere please correctly me nicely i don't need negative comments. I will gladly edit and fix any errors I have made. Have a wonderful day and thanks for taking the time to read it.
[Header] Thanks! [/header]

[quote=Anthoy84]Magnificent Souls do not adjust to your class. My guildmate (a Bowmaster) has a Magnificent Murgoth Soul in his bow with 3% magic attack.
I'll also contend that one-time attacks are not better for bossing, summons are.[/quote]
[quote=CantFeelThis]I used my hills summon during hill's DR and I if I remember correctly I was hitting 1's but was not taking damage from DR[/quote]

What does the level 2 magnificent souls do after you upgrade it? i.E. level 2 cygnus empress because you gave it 9 or 10 magnificent shards onto it. Can you clarify?
[quote=Currsed]It's not that i don't, don't get me wrong, but alot of people get butthurt that there are there is the same thread and that they "copied them" etc etc. flame wars, your guys comments are much appreciated and will be helpful than other threads because you guys won't lash out at me for it and accuse me of plagiarizing. In the old thread something like that was left behind, which is why the note in the first paragraph helps me out alot.[/quote]
I don't believe anyone accused you of plagiarizing. And honestly, that thread hasn't updated in forever, no one is going to bother starting a flame war over which is better. However, I do recommend you include a link to that thread in your credit. It can make you look bad if you don't acknowledge someone else's guide in a similar area, and costs you nothing to mention that their guide might be helpful.
@tifa They do drop in all 3 modes.
@stevenman76 They do drop more often now, i used to run dojo so much and never really revealed my time but it did drop alot, i just never bothered to get it.
@TDuncan Does it? i thought they give +8/main stat
@Samygx85 Please do, my computer screen is broken and my second can't play maple so idk.
@Currsed: i'll try to look for that info and get back to u, if u get it first plz tell me, im curious haha
Von Leon gives the same stats as Hilla...
@tifa: I believe it was changed. My friend ran about 40 weekly and wasn't getting any when they first came out
@stevenman76
Are you sure? I have seen mugong drop soul shards when doing ranked mode, but I didn't bother to pick them up.
[quote=Samygxz85]curious about those elite boss souls, what "level" are they? and how do u get them? (i assume that killing elites but not sure how)[/quote]
@Samygxz85 Ebosses, i have no idea what level they fall under because they care categorized bu how much + main stat it gives off, if it's 24, then it's a level 3 type, level 2 is 15-20 and level 1 would be 4-12
[quote=cesaralbo0]Mu gong is hard to obtain and have one of the best buff i think is a level 3 soul or 2[/quote]
@cesarabalbo0 Mu gong's level of soul, will be determined by how much +stat it gives. I feel for ya, but if it gives low stats, then thats how it's worked.
Also soul enchanters in FM are a big ^%#$& and super expensive, so making friends who train alot is the best option, they might have a spare.
@stevenman76 noted! will come later, cos overflowing with school atm.
@grawp77 Make some friends, bro c: post a listing on basilmarket in your server that you're looking for friends in the BL and people will respond because they might be looking for friends as well.
If you want 1 enchanter fast buy them in the fm obtain that for a monster is really hard
So.... I have many soul shards but i just cant seem to find a enchanter
Is there any monsters / boss / quest or anything that can give me an enchanter wothout have to grind for hours?
I suggest including what each soul does. For example:
Emp - Summoning that attacks nearby enemies. (Try to find the % damage. I have emp so I'll tell you that level one is 1000% damage, and level two is 1200% damage in GMS)
Mu gong - Buff that gives __% damage (Don't know what the % is)
You can probably find a chart for that.
I would also suggest including a little info on obtaining each of them, such as how hard the boss is, and where to find them. If you do this, make sure to include info such as that pianus and emp can't be gotten from evo, that (I'm 99% sure) Mu gong can't be gotten in ranked or easy mode of dojo, that magnus souls can be gotten from any difficulty, and that Any boss that has a regular and chaos mode drops souls in both forms.
Maybe include a small thing about how you can get them from elite boss purple boxes?
Some more bosses/soul shards:
-Mad mage's soul shard (eboss only)
-Black knight's soul shard (eboss only)
-Vicious Hunter's soul shard (eboss only)
-Rampant Cyborg's soul shard (I believe eboss only)
-Bad brawler's soul shard (eboss only)
Mu gong is hard to obtain and have one of the best buff i think is a level 3 soul or 2
curious about those elite boss souls, what "level" are they? and how do u get them? (i assume that killing elites but not sure how)

[quote=Jedi]Thank you for creating this guide! Should help many others. [/quote]
Thank you!
[quote=Blackinup]Its better for things to be updated after a while. Either way it seems your going more in depth with this one than the other one is. [/quote]
Yeah, i'll update it later tonight or whenever i have time tomorrow in class (free time)
[quote=Currsed]I'm good ty as stated in the first small paragraph, pls don't post other links about boss souls to mine, it's not that i don't know. It's just i don't want them to think i would steal from their thread to make my own. This is all what i know and what others from my old thread helped me with.
Edit: Will Bold to make more clear.[/quote]

[quote=Blackinup]There are also Elite boss souls which have a similar effect to hillas.[/quote]
I'll add that in later zzzz took a while to write this
[quote=xtripled]good starting point, think the next step would be to include the dmg % that each summon does, what buffs the summons give, etc[/quote]
Noted! i just need people with these souls to help me out a bit, i don't boss as much as i used to, that and make a table is alot of work, that, which i don't have time for atm.
good starting point, think the next step would be to include the dmg % that each summon does, what buffs the summons give, etc
