Editing Merchant (Gloomwood Forest) (section)

== Bosses ==

The Gloomwood Awakening Ritual features two distinct progression paths. The boss that the server will face depends entirely on which contribution bar the community fills up first: the currency (Spores) or the raw materials (Reagents).

=== The Gloomspore Path ===

Progress toward awakening Vidua, Matron of Venom is directly fueled by the flow of Gloomspores. Whenever players interact with the Gloomwood Merchant and spend this currency, the system automatically tracks these spores toward this ritual’s milestone. Once the community reaches a total of 20,000 spent Gloomspores, the ritual reaches its climax, and Vidua is summoned.

=== The Reagent Path ===

At the same time, the system monitors a second milestone focused on the sacrifice of physical resources. The community’s goal here is to accumulate 6,000 traded reagents. When this specific quota is met, the ritual takes a different form and summons either the Boneflame Wyrm or Vorak, The First Winter to challenge the server.

=== Boss Rules & Mechanics ===

*If a boss is already active, the system will try to summon the other one.

*If all arenas are active, the ritual resets.

*Any excess reagents contributed during the summon will carry over and continue filling the bar after the reset.

*All boss arenas CAN BE CONTESTED. These areas are not PvP safe.

*There is a 3-minute cooldown before you can re-enter a boss room.

*Field spells cannot be cast near boss gates.
