1-2. Trial Nest

Key characteristics of [Trial Nest]

1. From playing [Trial Nest] once, you can get from 20 to 40 times more valuable rewards depending on the difficulty level compared to playing [Fission Nest] of the same level!

2. You can only enter in a raid party of 6 players.

3. You can only ENTER once a week. That means entry count will be taken immediately after you enter and you cannot enter again when you give up halfway.

4. The ratio of Monster’s HP per single player in [Fission Nest] will be fixed at [ ~~600%~~ → 420% (HP for each player: 70% - same as 4-player Fission Nest) ].

5. [Trial Effect] will appear randomly during battle to challenge the players!

6. HP and MP will not be recovered when you clear the stage.

7. You can get [Dimension Rock] buff.

8. Like 8-player Nests, you cannot use recovery potions and elixirs.

※ Developer's Comments :

[Trial Nest] can be considered a “Fission Nest Challenge”.

Elements that help players to clear the Nest have been removed and instead, elements that hinder players have been added.

However, [Monster HP per player] is the same as 4-player Fission Nest so maybe the 6-player Trial Nest may seem easier when you enter at the same level.

Those who do not challenge themselves and settle at their current position will only be rewarded with rewards at that level. However, those who risk themselves and take the challenge will get special rewards for their effort.

Try taking the challenge of higher level Trial Nests in a 6-player Raid Party once a week to get fantastic rewards!

Entry Info

[Trial Effect] Details

1. Trial effect will be assigned randomly for each stage and it will not change until the stage ends.

2. Trial effect appears at a regular interval during battle. The interval will be reset each time an ordeal effect appears.

3. Trial effects are usually [hindrance effects] that make battle uncomfortable, but some effects may deal direct damage.

4. Trial effects are not related to monsters in battle and will affect players independently.

Rewards

1-3. Fission Core

[Fission Core] Main Characteristics

1. When you enter the dungeon, you will enter one of the randomly selected [Fission Nest] .

※ Only the relics of the cleared Nest will be dropped 4 times more and other relics will not be dropped.

3. There is no clear limit but a special [Entry Ticket] is needed to enter.

※ Developer's Comments :

[Fission Core] is a dungeon for users who wants to reduce the amount of time and Blessing Points required for clearing a round of Volcano/Guardian/Mist/Chiron Nest even if they have to [pay a certain fee].

Thus, players will find their own balance between [time and BP] and [amount to be paid].

[Entry Info]

※ [Fission Core] is exactly the same as [Division Nest] except for amount of BP used, amount of rewards, and entry ticket.

※ When you clear the Nest in [Fission Core], clear count for Daily/Weekly Tasks and Long-term Guild Mission’s “Clear [?] Nest x times” will only go up by 1.

- E.g. If you enter [Fission Core] and clear [Chiron Nest], clear count for the Weekly Task, “Clear Chiron Nest 15 times” will only go up by 1.

Fission Core Entry Ticket

• You can buy Fission Core entry ticket [Fissive Vortex] at Saint Haven’s [Crystal Store Helper Clara].

• You can get it at a set rate after clearing dungeons and Nests.
