Never buy gold or NX from anything that's NOT a NEXON Official Source
they recently gave us alternatives to buy Gold Legitimately (Tradeable NX items), Losing your account over a Few bucks saved isn't worth it.

 

Know your class
Class tiers are a thing despite of what some people might say , this doesn't mean that you have to pick the top tier class. its important to have fun. but its also important to do good. try many classes, and try the new ones when they get released too.

Always Read item descriptions and warning pop ups
you could end up doing Very Expensive mistakes by not Reading certain item descriptions before using them , if you are unsure about what an item does ask in Public channel chat Preferably in a very crowded channel or in your guild chat.(another reason to look for a good guild)

 

Prioritize +15 Ardri Weapon Over orna at first
its easier And Cheaper to craft and max. and it will help you to get orna done eventually, also get Full +13 milletian armor as fast as you can , all of this because your priority once you finish leveling and story mode should be to get into 110 raids, Also go for 110 accessories infused with +1cri/Bal they give decent stats still and provide Enough CF to do Dmg in 115 content

 

Join a good guild don’t be stubborn or attached to a dead guild its a deadly mistake
preferably look for a guild with at least +1 Core buff /+3 departure boost skill, and mostly important Active Players Running Raids in a daily basis or people willing to help you, A lot of players quit because they made this terrible mistake and eventually lose motivation, this is a team Game you need help for some content,"Not All the Content is Solo-able"

Listen and watch for the Veteran players you can always learn something new from them. – or well… The right ones Mostly*

Buying Gachas and selling NX items is the fastest ways to get gold
You can get (outfits),Various NX goodies and coupons (in case you don't get anything good can use the coupons to obtain more items in the seal shop) and there is also an alternative that was given to us recently, Buying NX items in supply depot (Enhancement /Enchant Runes, Extraction runes) And selling them in Marketplace.

 

Superior Enhancement Elixirs
obtained From Level 110 raids, Red moon dungeon, And 115 raids. - I have found the most optimal way to progress and keep making Gold ,this by saving 1 elixir for you from every 2 you get and sell the other, in that way you won’ stop progressing and will keep making Gold in the process, plus you get some for free during certain recurrent events.

For the Red Moon dungeon (and the many boss rotations it has)
try to use always a Superior Guild campfire for the Extra core boost to increase your chances of getting Superior Elixirs, it's worth doing it in the long run, plus it helps you to clear the dungeon Faster. Same goes for some Premium Rare pets They give +1 drop and have Invincibility + break Ores / and grab evil cores for you. (Note this dungeon boss don't give a Breakoff Core don't bother trying)

 

i sadly discourage anybody from running any of the current level 105 Content Raids
I've done various research with friends regarding the drop rates (RNG tracking ) And a lot Of runs and i can tell its pretty bad i do not recommend anybody to run them Consistently, but to only run them for Story mode quests, or if you have Free time on your side.

 

Level 110 Raids are the way to go for beginners
it has decent scroll drop rates (better than some of the 115 bosses), Also ironically similar Elixir drop rates and some bosses are even fast to learn!, some of the bosses are kind of annoying tho, so i'd suggest you to look for Helpful buffs like= Soap, Daily Scroll buffs , Superior Guild Campfire.

It was really hard to find the right words for these dungeons, mostly because during the 115 level cap expansion some terrible Design changes were made and are still an issue for a majority of the player base. still i will try to provide you the most efficient ways to get them done in the most efficient way.

Also i intentionally excluded some content (GuildDungeon/AA/AA2/Alban Festival) mostly because i find these Completely Irrelevant, it will only burden the new player and potential kill the desire to keep playing the game due to the lack of rewarding experience such content offers

Some of the Contents mentioned above are truly not worth your time if you plan to spam mostly, Just do the runs that you are allowed to do on its moment and call it a day, if you feel like its too much take a break from it and Use your Departures in 110 Raids instead.

Usurper Fortress is a very difficult battle that you only need to run a couple of times to craft a really Strong Accessory Called Complete Usurper’s Rhod. I'd suggest you get Full ardri +15 Gear for this First, also to join preferably with other high stat crowned Players , They usually Announce these on the established reset day.
Stay alert and Always be thankful with carries.

Note* Be sure to follow the tutorial about Dismantling Rhods for Magical orb fragments
this will boost your progression on the Complete Usurper Rhod OP

 

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬

Still the best of the best content for progression,skill training and making some Extra gold, At first you only Need to run these a couple of times to get Certain overpowered Stat bonuses, once you get to that point keep doing them, The most efficient way to get these done is when a Crowned player Is promoting them in The #Promotion Section of your Chat or Megaphone, These runs usually go fast in this way. at least until you learn the battle.

 

Note:

Once you hit a certain number of successful clears you can unlock an additional mode for each of these battles called Hell Mode* This is totally unnecessary to do, and only meant for people that are looking for a more challenging fight. The only reward you will get out of these is a normal Reward redeemer box and special Title for clearing it once, there is also another for clearing 15 times, you wont get any additional stat rewards or anything out of the ordinary

"𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩"

the most efficient way to get over with this is by Doing the daily ones as they have Unlimited Retry attempts

run those every day till you complete all of them, or Just till you Get your Stat rewards from The Next titles .

 

𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫

• "Only The Weak Use Potions"
• "Masochist"
• "Raid Runner"
• "All By Your Lonesome"
• "Under The Radar"

 

Note:
(Some Events Give Competition Items that help you success one battle without having to do it after use, Use them Wisely ) *

 

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫

This is by far one of the best contents we have gotten recently, Mundane Mode is the way to go,

Merciless mode is only for Title, you have several attempts to clear it, just keep in mind that Leaving the Quest will result in failure and -1 departure count, Also if you want for too long to do it , the departure count decreases start on the last 7 days of the month*(7,6,5,4,3,2,1 ) so try to do it as soon as it resets always or on the first three weeks.

Note* High Stats don’t matter in this dungeon, your stats will automatically get fixed once you join and there is no

way to get more DMG than the established, however you can build a high speed Stat Setup since this penalty doesn’t Affect ATT SPEED, all you have to look for is to make sure your stats aren't lower than the Minimal
requirements established in the Battle information Tab Before joining.

Sometimes you will get a bonus boss with random chance of spawn if you manage to fight against him then you are one of the few lucky players and will get an extra reward that doesn't count towards the rest of rewards.

 

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬

Do it mostly When a crowned player announces it on Megaphone is the fastest way to get this done, if you get hit during the boss insta kill phase (he does this after cutscene on bar7) Keep attacking the boss no matter what This mostly because once you get marked there is nothing you can do to escape from dying.

Do it only for the Seals, The Drop rate in there isn’t good For Spamming and it's not worth Doing it on alts.

 

𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲

It was hard for me to reach this conclusion for this content, RAR was supposed to be a Fun Experience with bosses that required Team work for certain Events inside the Raid : Clash , Breakoff , Flinch , Boss Stun, While some of these Elements are still in the current boss rotation It fails to provide a satisfactory experience due to Current Level Standards. (Game ask you for too much)

In My personal Experience, its not worth doing this Content Currently, you get a lot of Seals from the rest of the game anyway, and Mysterious/Abyssal Shards are more

Commonly dropped From Redeemers, The Issue is the current Boss rotation (Dragons) They consume way too much time to Clear, The Raid Mechanics Are Partially Bugged And and the rewards don't make for it, Beokros (Ice Dragon) is probably the only one you should be Considering spamming or running when its on the daily rotation for Departure.

Stay Alert for the Next Level Expansion! , this dungeon may become relevant again Depending on what bosses we get next.

 

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧

It Recently got an event that doubles the main drop reward “Enchant Pouch” so that is a good time to Spam it and use your departures on it, If you still are not strong its Really recommend for you to sell any pouches you get if you are a new player and use the gold on something else with major benefit for you.

 

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 !

The main Drop that Features this dungeon its a Random Level 90-95 Scroll box basically with a small chance of getting a Super rare scroll called Mystic a really good scroll in my opinion.

 

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐞𝐬

This item is a Common Drop it gives one of the following 4 objects once you open it

• Leather Bracelet
• Copper Bracelet
• Silver Bracelet
• Gold Bracelet ʳᵃʳᵉ" 

 

This box is tricky , always open these right away. stacking these types of boxes doesn't increase your chances of obtaining a rare drop it will just Kill the mood for you

this battle is limited to weekly Departure, but it allows you to Use Normal Departures you could do some Extra runs if you want.

 

Additional Tips ᴱˣᵗʳᵃ *

𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐬

Astera is super underrated , it is still a good source of income of course you must understand that you cant always

drop the good stuff but it still drops with decent frequency still .

It also gives way more Experience for leveling than any of the Abyssal Arena dungeons. (based on clear time) in my opinion these are the battles that you should be running

• Surprise Attack
• Red Stigma
• Remembrance
• Eweca's Nightmare

you are looking mostly for Certain Scrolls dropped in these Dungeons, but it also gives you a lot of AP, And Experience for leveling.

 

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬*

𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 :

you can run these with friends but just know that if you start the battle with 4 people The boss Hp will get Increased similar to a level 105 Boss in solo Mode*

If you gear shared an alt you can run them again also*

since these Dungeon Ex bosses don't count for the shared departure penalty such system has.

in my personal Experience i can recommend these battles to you only because they are the ones with less Cutscenes and fast time to clear.

You will get a lot of TP points too make sure to never let the gauge Fill, Once you reach 300/300 points you will stop getting Points and the Game will stop giving you more

Don't bother with hero mode its not worth it for these

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧

" 𝟏𝟏𝟓 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 "

 

All of the 115 content is Hostile to the new player base you will get instantly demolished If you don't have Enough Stats. however . . .

You can still run it Via "Battle Circuit mode" and "Private Party" (𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 . 𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞*) this allows you to depart to the battles without meeting the minimum Stat Requirements

 

Also the use of items that increase your stats are highly recommended when doing this a few examples of these items are :

• Stamina potions
• ATT increase potions
• Warm Kitty Encouragement Potions
• Event Items/potions/Food/empaulets
• Festival cookie(stamina Buff )
• Superior Guild Campfire - ᴹᵘˢᵗ ᴳᵉᵗ ᴬˡʷᵃʸˢ*
• aromatic Bath soaps
• Exquisite Guild Feast (Stamina Buff)
• Premium Bath soaps - ᴹᵘˢᵗ ᴳᵉᵗ ᴬˡʷᵃʸˢ*
• Hero Bath soaps - ᴹᵘˢᵗ ᴳᵉᵗ ᴬˡʷᵃʸˢ*

(NoteRedeemers/Spacetime Distortion content restricts the player from using several of these "BUFFS" with the only Exception Being "The Exquisite Guild Feast/New player Status Effect")

Also Soap buffs don't stack you can only get one effect at the time, And in case you have one already and its not the best ,the soap with the best stats will always take its place so always go for Hero/Premium soaps, the buff will refresh with the new soap effects always.

Daily Battle Scroll (Scroll that gives you random Chance of certain Stats/ Playermodel Effects) - ᴹᵘˢᵗ ᴳᵉᵗ ᴬˡʷᵃʸˢ

you can get this item max x3 for rerolling everyday from various sources

• Guild house
• Alvan Festival Seal shop (Fortune cookie)
• Honor Medal Seal shop (Fortune cookie)

 

𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦

This is a new feature that we got recently its a system that allows you to extract Departures that can be exclusively used on Raids of lower category

Right now you can only use these Departs for a single level 110 Raid/and 105 raids but don't bother doing those * ,

Focus on Romel He is one of the easiest 110 bosses *"Raid Name: Royal Caste topaz Hall"*
You should Always do this whenever you can since some of the 115 raids are impractical to run for new players even in Non qb mode this is mostly for the Recently added Raids ( Due to Absurd High stat requirements)*

 

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨+ 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟏𝟓 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝s*

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞+ isn't Vital for new players

Quick board mode is just as good The only difference is that You wont Earn Any "Hero Seals"

The Drop rates remain the same For both modes, Hero mode doesn't have Better Drop odds

All it does is that allows you to clear all the raids "faster"

it's mostly Content meant for people with high stats that want to clear stuff faster as it consumes x2 departures per run

 

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝟏𝟏𝟓 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐬

I would recommend you doing QBs by joining random people or asking your guildies to host them for you just keep in mind that : Quick board Mode has minimal entry Requirements to join Specified in the battle information tab.

 

Special tip *

by using a Superior Guild Campfire in any dungeon then leaving after you will get to keep the Buff it gives and you can use this to bypass QB/CB requirements Same goes for CF/Counter Force you can Drink a Kitty Encouragement Potion to get 30 CF Extra points
 

in the case of you of not meeting these you can still run them in Private party mode or like some people say "NON QB"
