MVPs are much stronger than other normal monsters and appear on an array of maps throughout the game. MVPs only spawn at certain times, anywhere from once per hour to once every 24 hours since the last MVP of that kind was killed. While MVPs can be defeated by a single person (depending on the strength of the player), they are most often taken down by a party of two or more players. Because of the difficulty of defeating an MVP, they give a high amount of experience and MVP rewards given directly to the player's inventory to the player who tank and deals the most damage to it. If the player get killed as the MVP dies, and there's no one else eligible for the reward on the map, someone is randomly selected on the map and receives it. They are also free-for-all, meaning that anyone can attack them, disregarding who found it first or summoned it.
MVPs will also summon slaves or mobs to make defeating the MVP more difficult. The mob will often times consist of three to nine monsters, sometimes all of them the same, sometimes different, depending on the MVP. Unlike normal monster, MVP doesn't show health bar. To check its remaining HP, the player can use Sense.
When a MVP is killed, which is not spawned by a player (e.g. Bloody Branch) will leave behind a Tomb at the spot in which they were killed. Speaking to the Tomb yields the MVP's time of death, along with the name of the player who received the MVP award for killing it. The Tomb does not give information as to the time or location the MVP will spawn next time. The time given is in PST. The Tomb will disappear 5 seconds after the MVP have respawned.
Normal MVPs spawn on a set amount of time with a variance of 10 minutes after the previous one was defeated. For example, if Amon Ra is defeated at 11:00, it would spawn again between 12:00-12:10. If an MVP spawns in multiple places, the two times are independent of one another and the respawn period may be different. Below is a list of all normal MVPs, where they are located, and the time that needs to elapse before it will respawn.

In order to improve the Boss Hunting experience, the team has greatly optimized the boss hunting system and added a Dynamic Berserk mechanism. The difficulty of the Boss and MVP will depends on the numbers of players participating in the hunting and the length of the hunt. The more players participated, the lower probability the Boss/MVP will entering berserk state, the probability of entering to berserk state will decrease with the increase of the number of players participating in the hunt and the increase of the hunting time. Dynamic Berserk mechanism will ensures the Boss/MVP survives at least five minutes on the field. This setting will effectively reduce the behavior of a single player or a small number of players occupying a specific MVP.
