Ashes Boss Idea Relics, UPDATE

I'm super bored and brainstorming an idea to entertain my simple mind. Brought up a similar topic up in TGFTavern's discord.This is for fun so I hope people will kindly keep their negativity to themselves, and the details in it are not final. Anyway wall of text incoming.

So there's this boss, that can only be summoned in the winter. To summon this boss you will need to craft The Frozen Summoning Rod of Strife. There can only be one of these rods per server. There can only be one of each of the components needed to craft the rod per server.

The components will need to be farmed through, PvE, PvP, Gathering Crafting, Fishing, Cooking you name it. This will require cooperation between guilds to complete before winter ends and either the rod or the uncrafted components melt until next winter.

There would need to be some sort of safeguard against griefing by hording one of the components maybe a server announcement stating who and where it was looted. (again brainstorming )

I think this could create all kinds of chaos, politics, in fighting, competition and ultimately cooperation.

I hope some of you find this intriguing and would help build upon the idea.

Just for fun.

I like the idea that certain world bosses spawn under specific circumstances.

Under the not very likely Scenario that nobody informed Sir Steven about this Idea and Concept -> someone Please do that. That is very very cool and there is no Question that People would love it.

A World Boss that spawns only in the deep Winter of the Riverlands ? Or only during an immense Rain-Season or something ?

A World Boss that spawns only when a certain Area of Enemies is constantly farmed/slaughterd for Months on end ? (lol) Something like embodying the Vengeance of a Tribe of Goblins or Minotauers ? I am all here for it.

Cool idea! I really like the seasonal mechanic and the server-wide effort it would require. Something like this would definitely create chaos, alliances, betrayals, and political drama, which is exactly what Ashes is aiming for. The fact that it involves all aspects of gameplay (PvE, PvP, crafting, gathering) makes it even better. Would love to see more world bosses tied to server-wide objectives like this.
