Does anyone know how long the loot timer for a delve boss is? I've seen references to it but no number is ever mentioned.

    A tip for farming these - park two characters at the boss and swap characters between kills. You'll get a chance at a motif nearly every kill. Enjoy

    You mean for the Heists? They are timed,and you get like 7 minutes to do it all without killing anyone.I dont think delve bosses are timed in Hew's Bane.
    I may be wrong though,but I havent found one yet that is.

    The loot tables are indeed timed. I want to say it's like 8 minutes but don't quote me on that. The timer is of course independent of the bosses spawn timer.

    Do you mean how long it takes to get another motif from farming a boss? No idea.

    All the delves in Hew's Bane,I get the loot dropped by the bosses,and no timer that I can tell.

    i would of thought it was longer than that I'll have to test it out more and see what happens.

    All good friend. You've probably noticed when farming those bosses that after the first kill, the next few reap few if any rewards. Normally just mininal gold compared to the first time when you got gold, motif, potions, random gear. After a certain time there is a reset and you will again get that full loot list with the possibility of a motif drop. Until that reset happens, the kill just continues to yield a few gold in loot.

    Do you need to wait for the timer to reset before killing the boss again to get full loot, or will the timer keep resetting if you kill the boss before it has reset?

    Nah you can stand there and down him, it will still reset from that first full loot kill. If you're in a small group you may choose to wait though, since the bosses respawn timer seems to be all over the place.
