'''Boss rules''' are the limits and mechanics every boss fight in MapleVerse shares: how expeditions are formed, how many attempts you get, who may loot, how EXP is split and what dying costs. Each boss page has its own details; see [[Bosses]].

== Expeditions ==
Zakum, Horntail, Pink Bean and the Showa boss are fought by an expedition formed at an NPC.
# Talk to the NPC and choose "Lets get this going!". You become the captain. You must meet the level range and have an attempt left.
# Others talk to the same NPC to register. A full expedition refuses more ("Sorry, this expedition is full!").
# The captain has '''5 minutes''' to start; then the expedition is disbanded.
# The captain can view members (and expel them), start the fight, or stop the expedition.
# Starting needs the minimum number of members. The attempt is spent for every connected member at that moment, not when they register.
# Everyone standing on the NPC's map is taken in. A registered member who was elsewhere, or who died and revived outside, can talk to the NPC later and is let back in without a new attempt.

There is one expedition of each kind per channel (MapleVerse has three channels).

{{Changed|Zakum can be entered by a single player. The usual minimum is six.}}

== Loot ==
* Drops of the biggest bosses (Zakum, Horntail, Papulatus, Pianus and others marked that way) are free for anyone from the moment they fall, and spread wide.
* Other bosses: the players who dealt the most damage (the top eight), and the party of the top damager, may loot at once; everyone else after 15 seconds.
* Ordinary monsters: the top damager and their party for 15 seconds, then anyone.
* Everything on the ground disappears after 3 minutes.
* Etc items (and quest-use items) roll at '''twice''' the chance shown in drop tables, never above 100%.
* Every boss with its own loot table also drops a [[Item:Dark Token|Dark Token]] (100%). Bosses of level 105 and up also drop each Triple Throw Mastery Book at 1% unless they already have it. Dojo and Monster Battle copies of bosses drop neither.
* Multi-stage bosses (Zakum, Papulatus) drop only from the last stage.

== EXP ==
A boss pays its EXP in proportion to the damage each player dealt against its maximum HP. A player who never hits it earns nothing. When two or more members of one party damage it, each gets a bonus of 5% per damaging member. Holy Symbol and EXP items add on top.

== Hitting the boss ==
* Bosses cannot be stunned, frozen, sealed, slowed, poisoned or doomed by your skills.
* Weak to an element: 1.5 times damage. Resistant: half. Immune: 1 damage.
* Weapon Immunity / Magic Immunity: every hit of that kind does 1 damage while it lasts.
* Physical hit chance falls when the boss is above your level. For a guaranteed hit you need about 2 x (1.84 + 0.07 x levels below the boss) x the boss's avoidability in accuracy.

== What bosses do to you ==
* '''HP 1:''' some attacks set HP and MP to 1.
* '''Seal''' (no skills), '''Darkness''' (half accuracy), '''Weakness''' (half speed and jump), '''Slow''', '''Poison''', '''Curse''': cured by Holy Water, Eyedrop, Tonic, Antidote, or an All Cure Potion for all of them.
* '''Stun''' cannot be cured. '''Seduce''' forces you to walk or stand still. '''Dispel''' removes your buffs. You can carry at most two of these at once.

== Death ==
* You lose EXP: the EXP needed for your next level x (5 + 20 / your base LUK) / 100. You never drop a level. Beginners lose nothing.
* A [[Item:Safety Charm|Safety Charm]] (or Easter Basket / Easter Charm) saves the EXP and is used up; reviving with it gives 30% HP and MP.
* You revive in the map's town with 50 HP. Inside a boss run, that takes you out of the run.
