BotGG 1.5.4: Boss Loot, Forge, Mystery Crates, Dungeon Run, Duel Arena and thirteen more features

This week's big update brings eighteen features that fit together: bosses drop loot, gear makes /boss attack hit harder, the Forge upgrades that gear, crates and collections give it a reason to exist, and raid guilds get a full toolkit. As before, every new feature with its own command is off until you enable it in the console, that command only appears on servers that use it, and all of them work in Flows.

Gear and loot

• Boss Loot. Give a World Boss a drop table of Shop items, with a chance, quantity, minimum damage and an optional bonus for the top tiers. Every member who earned a tier rolls once per row on a defeat, and optionally on an escape. Possible drops show on the panel, and the loot shows in the result and in /boss me. Free 3 / Pro 10 rows per table. Learn more
• Battle Gear. Shop items can carry an attack and a crit bonus. Off by default. When you turn it on, a member's best owned gear counts automatically on /boss attack and its panel button, never on message, voice, quest or Flows damage. There is nothing to equip and bonuses don't stack. Learn more
• Forge. Upgrade owned gear up to +5 for coins and optional materials, with the success chance of every level shown before anything is spent. Coins and materials are spent either way, but the item itself is never lost, and losing a level on failure is your choice per level. /forge Learn more
• Mystery Crates. Turn a Shop item into a crate with a public prize table of items, coins or roles and a short reveal. Crates are sold for coins or granted for free, never for real money, and the odds are always visible, including on the Shop's buy screen. /crate · Free 2 / Pro 10 crates. Learn more
• Codex. A server catalogue of Shop items and defeated bosses that members fill in by playing, with sets you define that pay a reward once when completed. /codex · Free 3 / Pro 15 sets. Learn more
• Title Forge. Build titles that members earn from levels, streaks, boss kills, Shop items or Flows. Each member wears one on their profile card and on the leaderboard. /title · Free 5 / Pro 25 titles. Learn more
• Delivery contracts. The Bounty Board can now ask for Shop items instead of work: the units are held on submit and move to the poster on approval. Off by default. Learn more

Raid guilds

• Loot Split. /party split shares a typed total among the members marked present, after repairs and a guild fee, with optional weights per role and a posted summary. The total is only a number, so it can be in-game silver; a coin payout is off by default. Learn more
• Raid Points. Points for party attendance, staff adjustments with a full ledger, standings and timed loot auctions in points, with optional decay. Points are their own currency, separate from Bank coins. /points · Free 1 / Pro 5 auctions at once. Learn more
• Leave Notice. Members file the dates they will be away. Party attendance excuses them automatically, staff see who is out and an optional role marks them while they are gone. /absence Learn more
• Guild Bank. The clan bank grows up: rights for who may deposit and withdraw, daily limits per rank, trusted roles, a full log and an optional item vault for Shop items. /clan bank · Free 50 / Pro 1,000 items per vault. Learn more

Games

• Dungeon Run. A party of 2 to 4 votes through generated rooms with buttons (fight, sneak, loot or retreat), with shared HP and a shared pot paid at the end. You build the themes, and a run survives a bot restart. Paid entry is blocked in servers that sell coins for real money; free themes stay available. /dungeon · Free 3 / Pro 15 themes. Learn more
• Duel Arena. Turn-based 1v1 duels with attack, guard and special moves, an optional coin stake in escrow and a seasonal rating. Letting your turn run out forfeits. Stakes are blocked in servers that sell coins for real money, and gear only counts if an admin enables it. /duel Learn more
• Server Weather. A new condition every day with small, bounded effects on /boss attack damage, garden growth, XP and a Shop discount. You pick the conditions and the intensity. Penalties are off by default, so unless you enable them weather only helps. /weather Learn more

Community and growth

• Server Gazette. A weekly post with top numbers, records, funny templated headlines in English, Russian or Hebrew and an optional front-page image. Each section can be turned off, and members can opt out of being named. /gazette · archive of 8 weeks on Free, 52 on Pro. Learn more
• Server Health Score. A weekly 0–100 score from activity, retention, moderation load and setup, with three recommended actions that link to the right console page, and an optional owner DM. /healthscore · 8 weeks of history on Free, 52 on Pro. Learn more
• Rival Servers. A weekly activity contest against another server, off by default and only when both admins agree. Only whole-server numbers cross between servers, never member names or messages, the score is normalised for size, and each server sets its own reward with a weekly cap. /rival Learn more
• Referral Quests. Reward a referrer only after the invited member stays and stays active, with checks for account age, rejoins and a cap per referrer. /refquest · Free 50 / Pro 500 quests at once. Learn more

Improvements

• Server templates. 16 new official templates for games, roleplay, clans, leagues, business and support, icons on all templates, and a choice of name style when you apply one. Browse templates
• Free and Pro plan pages. Free and Pro now have their own pages with everything each plan includes.
• Party posts have a cleaner layout with dividers.

Fixes

• When the last member leaves a clan, its treasury now goes to them instead of disappearing.
• An item deleted from the Shop can no longer be bought on the Player Market.
• An @everyone or @here typed in a party description now really notifies people when the party is created, if both the creator and BotGG are allowed to mention everyone. Otherwise the creator gets a warning.
• The Close button in the invite leaderboard window shows its proper label again.
• Server pictures and share images on TopGuilds can now be picked up by search engines.
