    I got curious (and also felt the need to procrastinate) on why certain bosses are preferred over other. Obviously there's a lot of factors (ex. Boss level, difficulty, experience, drops, ease of access, fun with friends...), so I decided to narrow it down to 3 factors: boss level, difficulty, experience.

    So why these 3 factors:
    • Boss Level - it is without a doubt that not receiving experience sucks, not to mention the x damage reduction you undergo while being y levels below a boss.
    • Difficulty (aka Boss Health) - There's a lot of variables that contributes to a difficulty of a boss, there's survivability, time limitation, game mechanics, boss health, and more. Of all these, I decided to focus on the boss health. Although there are some unavoidable factors that drags on the process of whittling down a boss (ex. Weapon/Magic Cancels, Damage Reflection, seduce). I wanted to keep it simple.
    • Experience - Experience is a core factor of the game, there can never be too little of this. I could explain more but I figure you most likely already know why.

    • Expedition - A journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, in this case to defeat all the bosses to gain experience and precious loots.

    So here's the data spreadsheet I conjured up. Basically composed of all expedition bosses currently available in MapleLegends. I didn't include zone bosses but it wouldn't be too hard of a task to include it.

    Below are two plots:

    I hope this data proves you well. If you pay attention to everything, Papulatus seems to give the best HP to Exp ratio. Happy mapling all.

    I have found this data really interesting! there are some mistakes with naming at your datasheet (found targa named as scarlion and nibergen as verga)

    I made another plot, in my opinion important:

    As you've said - its important to remember some bosses are easier than others like Krex is easier than Zak so there are more factors to take into consideration.

    I may make some more if i have more time, feel free to ask for specific ones you would like to see / supply extra data you want!
