Ladon

Ladon is the world boss: a single shared-HP dragon the whole server chips down together during a fixed daily window. There is no timer state — the window is derived, so every client already knows when it opens.

The window

Ladon is alive when the local Europe/Helsinki clock is between 19:00 and 19:00 + 2h. Each strike costs 1 Expedition Point and resolves 3 swings using the real combat maths.

Shared HP pool

The first window ever starts at 10,000 HP. Every time the server kills Ladon, the next pool grows by 2,000 (a flee leaves it unchanged), capped at 400,000. The rule is deliberately simple: every kill makes him stronger.

He strikes back

Each strike, Ladon counter-attacks for 20–80% of your own maximum HP — a percentage, so the cost is the same at every level and low characters can still take part. Natural regen does not refill within a window, so participation leans on potions.

Rewards

Rewards scale with your share of the damage: base × (15% + 85% × your damage / pool). Base reward is up to 1,200 XP and 900 gold; a floor guarantees even a single strike pays out.

The Draconarius skin

On a kill, one eligible participant may win the cosmetic Draconarius (a 10% chance that it drops at all, then shared among the eligible). Eligibility needs level ≥ 10 and at least 3 strikes — the bar measures effort, not raw power.
