A unique dungeons ,that offers more items to farm, with slight difficulty increase, depending on distortion of course, it can vary from debuffing/buffing player and monsters while in dungeon, enables free pvp for every player inside, draining full exp on death or just disabling ressurection.

To enter such dungeons player would need "Bifrost Mirror", following the guide will help you find both Bifrost shard, and 4 eyes of the sons of Odin. Each socketed eye allows traveling in time, be it either past, future, or completly new timeline.

I hope you saved alot of zeny for Sage's service.

• Socketing eyes into the bifrost shard, gives access to distortion dungeon for whole account.

It so over

After level 100, game becomes slightly harder, you will start having issues in certain dungeons, and on certain jobs, but its not a reason to stop.

Now is good time to get more powerful gear, and start refining, slotting cards, looking for costumes = the cooler you look, the more damage you deal, and that's facts.

Refines:

Refining gear to +6 is safe option, since Ores that 1 level higher than needed doesn't downgrade item. you can use basic Oridecon/Elunium for refines from 0 ~ 3. then use Enriched Oridecon/Elunium for safe refines from 3 ~ 6 for important pieces. And use HD for not important stuff.

Get important Manuals such as:

• Medic Manual X - Grants "Heal" level 10.

• Agility Manual X - Grants "Increase Agi" level 10.
