GW2 World Boss events

So, there I was killing mobs with a buddy collecting quest items when he casually mentions "it should be time for the dragon soon let me open up general chat & double check when" leaving me to wonder wtf?

Well it turns out that there are WorldBosses (well duh right it's a mmo after all) namely the ShattererTequatl, and Claw of Jormag and being bosses you need a bunch of players to take them down however luckily the whole server I'm on already knows about them (still thinking I need to pull my head out of my gaming ass) and there's usually a group of 20 at least sitting waiting for these guys to spawn which is every 2.45 to 3 hours.

You can find out where & when they spawn by using this google page doc (setup by some helpful folks, presumably Korbben, Laulani & Etalel) which details the spawn times for each boss. I prefer using http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/ for my maps so here's an example of the Lowland BurnsWaypoint in the Blazeridge Steppes you'll need for the Shatterer event.





















Splintered Coast Waypoint in the Sparkfly Fen region for the Tequatl event.



















Slough of Despond Waypoint in the Frostgourge Sound region in the Shiverpeak Mountains for the Claw of Jormag event.

I've taken down the Shatterer twice getting a couple of yellow items & the rest blues which were vendor trash, but being an event you will receive experience, karma & coin as a reward so it could be a way to supplement your income.
I've yet to find a world map I like but here's one from GuildWars2Junkies.com that tries to show the level requirements.


So there you go something new & exciting that maybe you had NFI about either that you may enjoy or use to break up your game time, yes I've gone link happy.
