Regular daily Gollux would have no changes, but Chaos and Extreme Gollux would both be weekly bosses and shared clears among each other, does not share a clear with regular daily Gollux.

Chaos and Extreme Gollux will both have a boss crystal to sell for mesos.


Let's stats with Chaos Gollux:

~ Chaos Gollux will function exactly like regular Gollux and have four difficulties of Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell with the boss crystal value and other rewards varying based on difficulty.

~ Chaos Gollux will range in difficulty between Normal Slime Boss and all the way up to Hard Verus Hilla based on the Chaos Gollux difficulty that the player set up.

~ All difficulties will drop the coins to purchase items such as Superior equipment, higher the difficulty, more coins that drop.

~ Easy and Normal will drop the Superior Belt and Superior Earring at a higher drop chance than Hell Gollux.

~ Normal Chaos Gollux will begin to drop Superior Ring and Superior Pendent.

~ Hard Chaos Gollux will have an increased drop chance for all four Superior equipment items.

~ Hell Chaos Gollux will have a very high chance to drop any and/or all four of the Superior equipment items.

~ Hell Chaos Gollux will drop a new type of coin as well, introducing a new type of Gollux shop to purchase varying new items from such as cosmetic outfit pieces, mounts, chairs, Onyx Apples, unique buff coupon voucher, etc. Most noteworthy item will be an enhancing item for Superior equipment to make your Superior equipment even stronger (both for Heroic and Interactive Worlds)!
- - - Hard Chaos Gollux will also drop this new type of coin, but at a much lower quantity than Hell Chaos Gollux.
- - - Hell Chaos Gollux will also have a very low chance to drop this enhancement item outright.

Rough Concept for the Enhancement Item:
There will only be one item you need and can place on any of the four (five, but we get to that shortly) Superior equipment. The item is consumed when used, so need to acquire another one to enhance another item.

~ Enhancement has a 100% chance to succeed.

~ The enhancements WILL NOT OFFER DIRECT POWER such as all stats, weapon/magic attack, boss damage, ignore enemy defense, etc. and instead will offer a cool new effect of some kind based on the equipment it was used on and the random outcome you obtained.

~ Each equipment has three different effects that can occur, you can only have one effect on an equipment at a time, if you want a different effect then you can use another enhancement item to reroll the enhancement.

Possible Enhancements:
Superior Belt:
1. Upon receiving damage, ignore that damage and become invincible for 2 seconds. 30 seconds cooldown (unaffected by cooldown resets).

2. You will always heal for at least 15% from potions and recovery skills no matter what.
[This is not increased healing, but a way to ignore anti-healing mechanics such as from Verus Hilla, Will Phase 2, and Seren.]

3. You take 5% less damage, including damage by % HP attacks.

Superior Earring:
1. Stun struck monsters for 2 seconds, the same monster cannot be stunned again for 30 seconds, includes boss monsters.

2. Place bombs on monsters that you attack that explode after 3 seconds to deal damage in an area, the same monster cannot receive a bomb for 10 seconds. If the target dies before the bomb explodes, then receive 10% increased EXP from the monster.

3. Increase your total item drop rate by 10%.

Superior Pendent:
1. 10% chance to heal 20% HP on attacks. 2 seconds cooldown.

2. 10% chance to restore 20% MP on attacks. 2 seconds cooldown.

3. 1% chance to stun struck monsters for 2 seconds, the same monster cannot be stunned again for 15 seconds, includes boss monsters.

Superior Ring:
1. Increase your total mesos obtain by 10%.

2. 20% chance to cause a second mesos bag to drop on monster death.

3. 20% chance to cause normal monsters to double the items that they drop, excluding mesos bags.
[i.e. if a Nodestone or Sol Erda Fragment would have dropped, then there is a 20% chance to receive two instead of only one from that monster.]


Extreme Gollux:

~ Shared weekly clear with Chaos Gollux.

~ Extreme Gollux can only be entered as a solo or duo party, and the difficulty will be roughly equivalent to Extreme Lotus.

~ Extreme Gollux will only have one difficulty! You must go around and destroy every single body party of Extreme Gollux before you can enter the head for the true boss fight!

~ Extreme Gollux will have a 100% chance to drop all four Superior equipment items, a ton of coins for the Gollux shop that has Superior equipment in it, and a lot of new type of coins for the enhancement items. The grand prize for Extreme Gollux clears will be a low chance to receive the Superior Badge...

~ Superior Badge can be starforced up to 25 stars, stars past 15 will offer weapon/magic attack, and it can receive potential. The item is a level 250 equipment item and is not only a part of the Superior set bonus, but adds in a new 5th set bonus that offers "5% Final Damage"! This should be a very worthy pursuit of an item for those seeking a true challenge against the mighty Gollux for the true end game chasers!

Superior Badge Enhancements:
1. Upon taking lethal damage, prevent death, become invincible for 4 seconds, and fully heal. 300 seconds cooldown (unaffected by cooldown resets).

2. Heal 20% HP every 2 seconds, this ignores all anti-healing mechanics.

3. Active Skill: Annihilate all normal monsters and stun boss monsters around you for 6 seconds, the same monster can be stunned again once every 55 seconds. 15 seconds cooldown.

These effects, and the equipment itself, are intended to feel insanely powerful in a similar case of how powerful you feel when you finally get your Genesis Weapon.

~ In addition, every clear is guaranteed to drop 1 (minimum and maximum) "Essence of Gollux" that is client side for both you and your duo partner can progress equally. When you obtain at least 20 Essence of Gollux, you can exchange them in to receive a Superior Badge, offering a way for players to guarantee the item and not be entirely RNG depended.
