General

if you'd like to get a boss soul quickly (within a 1 day period), i'd recommend starting with Ephenia. the drop rate for her soul shards is very low from what i've found, it takes about 1 or 2 hours to do the pre quests and about 2-3 hours to get all 10 boss shards. so if you have tons of time on you're hands just farm Ephenia, you can defeat her as many times as you'd like a day, unlike Hilla and von leon, which you can only do once or twice each day. at around lv 150 or 160 i'd recommend doing the other bosses to farm for shards. Hilla if you defeat her every day is gonna take about 11-18 days. Von Leon's gonna take even longer considering hes once a day, probably 15-30 days, you cannot defeat Cygnus till lv 170. so i don't recommend farming her for shards till you're a way higher lv (around in the 200's) The spirit of rock in not available sense the rising hero's update sadly. hope this helped~

@Axnslicer: magnificient uses a different skill at level 1
i had mag emp lasted 150 sec cd 180 sec
normal emp lasys 90 sec of the 180 both lv 1 and 2

I believe the Magnificent versions use the second level skill. Collecting all 9 crystals just unlocks the secret image.

[quote=fmonglobal]Did you mention Cygnus, Von Leon, Spirit of Rock and Ephenia because they are in the Soul Collector book? Because that's not how it works - scrap that, that books is stupid, forget it even existed; it does nothing, [b]nothing[/b].[/quote]

You have to have atleast 10 soul shards from a boss in order to gain that boss's soul. Hilla's soul shards are easiest to obtain

Hilla, zakum,ephenia, mugong are probably the only ones easily obtainable at your lvl/state.[/quote]

I don't know. I just found a rock and enchanted my Zero Weapon.
I found it in the Mirror World...
I can't get Hilla, Zakum, or Mugong because they are not on my list...
