Garmoth’s Location: Duvencrune, Drieghan

Garmoth’s Spawn Schedule
Garmoth is not always present. She spawns on a set schedule, appearing every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Knowing this schedule is essential for planning your boss runs and coordinating with your guild or fellow adventurers.
How to Engage Garmoth
While Garmoth is a world boss with a predetermined spawn schedule, you can also summon her for a guild-based fight. Let’s look at this process in a little more detail.
Summoning Garmoth via Guild
You can summon Garmoth in the designated area through the Guild – Summon Boss tab. This option is available to guild leaders and officers. It’s important to note that this can only be done once every week. The difficulty of the summoned Garmoth remains fixed, regardless of guild size. It is recommended to have 50 or more participants for the summon to be successful.
The Weekly Quest for Garmoth
The way to obtain loot from Garmoth has changed. Rather than relying on random drops, a weekly quest system has been implemented. Garmoth now appears 14 times a week, and players can obtain rewards by completing the weekly quest up to 3 times a week. To participate, you must meet Kukao in front of the Ominous Altar in Garmoth’s Nest and accept both the weekly and the event quest. This quest will guarantee a chance at loot and will ensure that players are getting something for their efforts.

An Inverted Heart of Garmoth can also be purchased on the central market.
3. How often can I loot World Bosses?
