Pruinaum Raid Challenge Mode

Pruinaum Raid Challenge Mode can be cleared with a raid party. It consists of two dungeons where players are split and a dungeon where they enter together in 8 people.

• Combat Power Entry Requirement: 6,000,000

• Required Level: 99

• Amount of Players: 3~4 (first dungeon phase 1), 4~8 (others)

• Environmental Debuff: 90%

• Resurrection Stone Limit: 1

• White-Ghost Castle Clear Time Limit: 1h30

• Altar of Invocation Clear Time Limit: 2h

1) Entering Challenge Mode

• There is a time limit for each dungeon. When the button "start" is pressed, the timer starts running.

• Every Thursday, the clear progress is reset and the available Challenge Mode is changed.

• After the update on March 16th (Thu) you cannot enter the Varnimyr Raid Challenge Mode until March 23rd (Thu).

2) Challenge Mode Fight Begins

• In a dungeon with 3~4 players, the dungeon starts as all party members enter the waiting area. In dungeons with 4~8 players, everyone enters together and fights on the same map.

• You cannot invite others to the raid party while the raid is in progress. However, if one of your teammates leaves, you can re-invite them as long as nobody is playing in a dungeon.

• All effects of buffs / items / heal / special functions are applied to the striker party where you belong. Debuffs are shared for all members of the party.

• When the time limit runs out, you need to restart from the first phase. (If in dungeon, you will fail and exit.)

• You can also give up the clear as a striker party leader if the timer hasn't run out.

3) Raid and Challenge System Changes

• Raid and Raid Challenge Clear renewal happens every Thursday from 9:00 AM to 10:10 AM. Changes on the same day at 9:50 AM. You will be forced to stop playing the previous Challenge at 9:50 AM.

• The raid ranking is overall removed. Rewards from the current ranking will not be issued.

4) Rewards

When the Challenge Mode is cleared, you can obtain 'Energy of the Destroyer's Spirit' as a reward. You can exchange it at NPC Asella in Camp: Aurora for various rewards, including the pet 'Automatic Doll: Destroyer' or a Pruinaum Area Accessory Cube.

New Force Skills can be obtained via drop in Altar of Invocation (Challenge Mode), as follows:
