Default Boss books

Like the Sunspear/Lightbringer, Luxon/Kurzick, hero/dungeon books, how about yet another one? Boss books, normal and hard mode. One for each campaign, and another, less-grind based way to max out all those titles (especially GWEN, it's nothing but grind). At least if you're going out to kill a boss you won't automatically fail like you would in a mission if you all die, and there's always the chance of better drops plus chests and such that you don't get in missions. And even in normal mode some of those bosses are hard (stares at dinosaurs).

hehehe A title for killing all bosses? That would be neat, but it's probably about as likely to happen as a title for completing every single quest in the game. But cool idea!

I don't think I would want a book for it, but I like the idea of killing all the bosses in the game. I might just make a little spreadsheet for myself and do that. Sounds like fun.

Isn't there a supposed page limit (like 18-20) due to some programming limitation on how big the books can be?
Although I sorta like the idea (would help multitask along with skill capping titles), but I'm doubtful that this could be easily done.

Definately /notsigned. A free title for people with vanquisher, and almost free for people with skill hunter.

Overlapping titles are overlapping.

Also, how about suggesting something that will make the game suck less, instead of more shit to grind with no real reward?

For campaigns or expansions with reputation titles, killing a boss with the blessing or monster hunt already yeilds an increase to that associated title track. Therefore, a book to record boss kills presumably to exchange for title points is completely redundant.

Been brought up before. Another annoying grind thing that's meant to reduce the grind of other things? Pass.

The books require too much info for this. On the other hand I don't mind a title, but we already have skill huinter track. That's practically overlapping bosses anyway.

there are some bosses that only appear during quests so people would either charge you to take them along, or you can't get your title if you already did the quest

Although I would fin interesting something about killing all existing bosses, I don't think a good idea to make a title or book out of it.

If they added a bestiary, a panel that can be shown anytime and has 3 parts:
* Creature render. Like the dye preview, the monster would appear 'floating in the mists'.
* Creature info. Under the crature render. A little rectangle with the info of the boss: Race, skills, stats (attributes, armor, HP, etc... in NM and HM) possible drops etc...
* Creature list. The other half of the panel, a list of all bosses.
**The ones not killed in gray.
**The ones killed in common white.
**The ones whose elite (if they have one) you own in ZCoin cooper.
**And the ones whose skills (all of them excepting monster skills) you already own, ZCoin silver.
**The ones you both have all skills and have killed in HM in ZCoin gold.

Hm... that would be nice to complete. A lot of nice info for the Wiki too.

I think Mithran's idea is better than another book to take up inventory space :P

I'm working on skill hunter currently and it's just too easy to do, and just adding more grind.

Also, what troll said is very true. There are alotta bosses that only appear in one time only quests and it would just allow alot of greedy people to charge just to let you kill bosses.

To make slightly less sarcastic iteration of what I think Lummy was expressing...

Geez! How much inventory space do you guys have?!?

I'm having to choose between limiting my activities around the books I can afford the inventory space to carry or missing out on book benefits as it is, the last thing I need is more of the blighters!
