What is there, and is the boss hard enough to warrant potions? Since I got my new house the Frogzard Hunter's quest became obsolete, I can get 10 without fights now.

The boss was a disappointment. I thought he would be harder. It was a fun fight though.

Looks like status ailments are the next big thing to hit battles.
Before this, the big thing was enemies which transformed their shape after 50% loss of their HP. Before that, it was a big thing to actually fight enemies.

Apparently so. Jack Frost was the one who started it, with that DEX-dropping attack. I guess he must have been the test subject for statuses. Freezing isn't something enemies can do. Yet.
Talking of enemies that changed shape after 50% HP, does anyone else remember the Stonerule war with Kragg as the boss? I had 6HP left after that and I've never had a closer fight since. I'm fighting my way to the boss now.

Kragg.
All I remember about him was that like most warbosses before him, he was a total failure. Wasn't he scaled? And that has never worked in AQ.

I don't know if he was scaled, but I barely beat him using Ninja DeathStrike (best attack there was at the time >_>) and then discovered the rewards (Azru Stones) were in Yulgar's shop and I didn't have to fight him. I was more than a bit angry, just as I am with this boss sequence. I haven't even REACHED the boss yet, I keep dying >_> edit: Got to him. iceberg: Did you read his description? it calls him a "numbered beast". I TOLDZ YOU SO! edit the second: *insert nuke sounds here* Jerk killed me.

Yeah, I figured that his number was on the skeleton-shoulder.
And just because the description says so, doesn't mean its true. Makkisar, for example.
Too bad the number beast thing doesn't seem anything OMG at the moment, there is very little plot related to them, and at the moment, they serve as AQ version of "monster-of-the-week" that Bleach and whatnot shounen slashfests have.

Well, I faced it. First time went with conservative approach. I noticed what it did when I had -175 STR and -75 END; I think. Tried to Zerker out of it, but fall 150 points short(should've been done that turn before I healed, because then I had about 1/3 health less).
Anyway, after I found it, I killed it as quick as possible using 4 combos and 1 Zerker attack at half of HP. Wow, AQ keeps making bosses that suprise me.

You 3rd gen AQ'ers keep using terms I've never even heard of. Zerker? I'm out of the loop when it comes to acronyms as well.
"so i MDR KKD'ed it but the DPS it did just was too much so I had to resort to MMQ BBZ KKDJSLDK" "kk lol"

zerker i think refers to berserker.As for me not posting the boss and the rewards,I thought that was kind of tacky and maybe against the rules.But ya he wasn't too tough,I did think the status ailment was kind of nifty,not the idea but I just liked it,I guess because of the darkness of it.To beat him/it I used my old favorites golden axe,ironthorn,asgardian plate,fairy godmother and summon garlic or however they're all spelled.I used a few heal wounds there at the end do to his status ailment effect,but other than that it was pretty much just a smack and be smacked fight.I found the wizard competition like 2x harder in comparison.

The only good thing out of this war, was what the boss looked like. Too bad there wasn't any char development for him, so as said, he was just another thrown war boss.
