Turncoat Ducal is a level 80 field boss that patrols Chaotic Middle Reshanta, one of the Abyss zones. It carries a Hero rank, counts as a Cogni creature, and attacks on sight. Every kill hands out three crafting stones no matter what, while the rest of its table is a spread of weapons, armor and a single piece of decor.

Quick answer: Turncoat Ducal spawns in Chaotic Middle Reshanta on Mon, Thu and Sat at 21:30 server time, and always drops a Refining Stone, an Expert’s Refining Stone and an Artisan’s Refining Stone.


Where and when Turncoat Ducal spawns

Turncoat Ducal appears at a single spawn point inside Chaotic Middle Reshanta, an Abyss zone that holds other level 80 bosses such as Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma, Executioner Dramos and Ravager Marakha. The spawn runs on a fixed weekly schedule rather than a rolling respawn timer.

Guaranteed crafting materials: refining stones

The three stones drop on every kill, which makes this boss a steady source of crafting mats. Refining Stone is the Common tier, usable from level 15 and worth 16 kina at a vendor. Expert’s Refining Stone is the Rare tier, available from level 25 and worth 160 kina. Artisan’s Refining Stone is the Epic tier, needs level 35, and sells for 1,600 kina. All three can be traded, so surplus stacks can go to the broker.

Vowed weapons (Epic)

Four Epic weapons share the top of the loot pool at 6.7% each. They sit at item level 38, need character level 35, and carry three manastone slots plus one theostone slot with a max enchant of +10. Unlike the rest of the boss’s gear, they can be traded until they become soulbound.

WeaponMax AttackSlot standing
Vowed Greatsword22117th of 83
Vowed Longsword19217th of 83
Vowed Bow18717th of 89
Vowed Dagger17317th of 83

The Vowed Greatsword ranks 17th among greatswords for max attack, trailing the 604 shared by Ludra’s Blade of Extinction, Splendent Ebony Dragon Lord Greatsword and Splendent Wise Dragon Lord Greatsword. The Vowed Longsword and Vowed Dagger hold the same 17th position in their own slots, behind Ludra’s Scale Sword and Ludra’s Claw respectively. The Vowed Bow sits 17th of 89 bows, under Ludra’s Fatal Bow and the two Splendent Dragon Lord bows. For a level 35 drop with three manastone slots and a theostone slot, they hold up well as a mid-game weapon while you push toward the top-tier sets.


Vagabond and Earth gear

Most of the table is filler-tier equipment that binds when obtained. The Vagabond set is Rare grade at item level 30, needs level 30, and has two manastone slots with a +5 cap. Its Vagabond Boots carry 145 Defense, which ranks 23rd of 147 shoes, well under the 504 on the Splendent Dragon Lord boots. The Earth set is Common grade at item level 20, usable from level 20, with a single manastone slot and a +5 cap. Earth Boots sit at 95 Defense, 29th of 147 shoes. Both sets are mainly salvage or early-level stopgaps rather than long-term keeps.


Artwork: Draupnir decor

Artwork: Draupnir is the one Unique drop here, landing at 25%. It is a decorative collectible rather than a combat item, so its value is cosmetic. The same artwork drops from the other level 80 Chaotic Middle Reshanta bosses, so it is not exclusive to this fight. If you only want the piece, any of those encounters works at the same 25% rate.
