Align the weekly boss reset with the rest of the game’s weekly reset timings. This will eliminate confusion and allow for simpler coordination of gameplay. Breakdown:

Guild Missions and, with them, Noblesse Guild Skills reset on Monday @ 00:00 UTC
• This is a core component of player retention: the social aspect that guilds bring to the game, combined with the competitive nature of Noblesse skills.
• Players must choose between clearing bosses upon availability (eliminates stress of having unfinished tasks) and postponing boss clears to run flag race upon availability.
--> You may defeat 1,000 monsters to access flag race, however, with the current “boss mule” meta players with multiple characters in guilds find this cumbersome.
• Updated: A drawback to this component is that it may take some time for guild administrators to assign Noblesse Skill points.
Weekly Quests reset on Monday @ 00:00 UTC
• Align the weekly quests related to AbsoLab equipment attainment and their respective bosses for simplicity.
• Align the weekly Kritias quests that allow players to gain boss reset tickets for their respective bosses for simplicity.
Mu Lung Dojo resets on Monday @ 00:00 UTC
• Another component with a competitive nature, this one rewards a desirable piece of equipment rather than shared skills.
Players who place in either the top of their class, or the top overall for their level range receive a best-in-slot lucky item that resets on Sunday @ 23:59 UTC.
--> The current version of the game allows for two weeks’ worth of boss runs: once between Monday and Thursday resets, and again between Thursday and Monday resets.
--> This is the only component I believe to be benefiting from the current timing of having boss reset on Thursday @ 00:00 UTC.
This component is now outdated with fully enhanced Arcane equipment.
Mitra’s Boxes reset on Monday @ 10:00 UTC
• Flame and Cube upgrade items come from these boxes which can be used on equipment rewarded from bosses.
Event Weekly Missions reset on Monday @ 00:00 UTC
• Event-related tasks that reward various items used for upgrading gear can be gained in the same time frame as equipment rewarded from bosses.
Legion Coin Shop reset on Monday @ 00:00 UTC
• Coupons used for bossing and increasing reward drop rate can be partitioned on a weekly basis much easier.
• Enhancement items can be used on equipment rewarded from bosses.

These are all the components that have come to mind regarding this suggestion, I will edit to include others’ thoughts as well.

    Depending on how this suggestion is received, I will make this suggestion in the relevant KMS forums as well.

    100% agree. It's mind-boggling why they have so many different reset dates.
