Raid and world bosses
The three raid bosses your guild rotates through and the world bosses the whole server shares.
Raid bosses
Three bosses, one per week, on rotation. A raid boss has a single pool of health that the whole guild chips away at across the week - your attempts, everybody else's attempts, all in the same pool. Nobody has to be online at the same time as anybody else, which is the whole point.
Each boss is soft against a different element, so the rotation moves who in the guild hits hardest without changing how much has to be dealt. The Knight has no bad week - physical damage has no resistance anywhere in the game.

The fight runs in phases, and each phase changes what the boss hits with - the element you
warded against in phase one is not the one waiting in phase three.
Clearing pays war, ward and bulwark scrolls: timed guild-wide buffs that last days, so a
kill is felt by people who were not in the fight.
Attempts are rationed daily. A raid is a week of small commitments, not one long evening.
World bosses
A world boss stands against the entire server at once. Cerberus and World Serpent take turns, one per weekly window, and every point of damage anyone deals goes into one pool. When it falls, the spoils are split by what you contributed - and by which band of players you were competing inside, so a level 150 character is not standing between you and your reward.

A day favours one family. The kills you were already making count for more when they
match the affinity of the day - it rewards paying attention, not changing your plans.- Attempts are daily and the boss stands for a week. Missing a day is not missing the
boss.
The Warden holds the gate in the opening stretch, so the first hours of a window are not
simply a race for whoever logged in first.
What they have in common
Neither boss is content you can be locked out of by a schedule. Both are pools of health that a week's worth of ordinary play chips away at, and both pay in things you cannot buy: scrolls, chests and standing on a board that resets when the next one arrives.
