Tailor-made Challenges

Return to Morroc dungeons are always split in two types: Dungeons and Distortion Dungeons

regardless of the type of dungeon a player visits, they will always have their rank, which denotes its difficulty and what Shadow spawns when a player dies there.

Visit Combat Reworked for details on how the combat works and it's dynamics.

• Every dungeon can be handled solo by a sufficiently prepared player, including it's MVP. There are no cheap one shots.
• The recommendations are for reasonable leveling without major struggles. Ignoring some mechanics can still result in death over multiple mistakes.
• Being overleveled may help mitigate some difficulty from the dungeons, at the cost of EXP.

Ranks

The Ranks that shows the difficulty levels can be found on the World Map (Default shortcut: CTRL + ') and map banners when a map is entered.

In most cases, a higher rank dungeon will have better drops and provide more exp, as long as a player/party can handle it's difficulty. Lower rank dungeons may sometimes present mechanics from higher rank dungeons under specific circunstances.

• Distortion Dungeons are only available in Ranks B, A or S.

RANK E
