Tips
- Kill soldiers first — prevents king teleport ambush
- Ranged immobilize attack: dodge sideways
- Ring the bell above him to spawn the encounter
- Highly mobile — Spirit-build ranged stays safest
- Re-read patch notes after hotfixes — Preludes 15 loot and scaling change frequently.
- Pair with Agari timer and siege schedule when farming rare mats from this encounter.

- Avakot trivia line says joineries-only; Drops table also lists whole Purity (P15) — catalog tracks both in drops[]
Mendicant King Farm: Cooldown & World Sharing
The Mendicant King is a bell-summoned world boss in southwest Midrath. After a kill, his spawn is usually on a 1-hour cooldown in your world, but you can keep farming by joining another player's world where the king is still available.
- Go to the throne area in southwest Midrath.
- Hit the bell above the throne to wake the Mendicant King.
- Defeat him and check for Purity whole-weapon previews and Twice Blessed Joineries.
- If your world is on cooldown, join another player's world and kill their Mendicant King instead of waiting.
- Wiki spawn timer: 30 min (Avakot, Fextralife). Many players report ~1 h per-world lockout before the bell works again—join other worlds to skip the wait.
- Cooldown is world-based, so rotating hosts is the fastest practical farm for Twice Blessed Joineries.
- If the bell does nothing, treat it as a cooldown/world-instance issue first, then re-check the summon spot.
