Expeditions and group content

NC’s October patches add Hard mode in two steps. Krao Cave and Draupnir need item level 2600 (October 20 PDT); Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island need 2700 (October 27 PDT). In all four, the boss Frenzy timer is 4 minutes and each player gets 3 revives. Fire Temple is not named in either note.

Hard rewards named by NC are Philosopher’s Stone: Revelation (Bound), Ariel Fragments that vary by dungeon, a chance at Expedition Hero Artwork, more Kina than Normal, and all Unique crafting materials (Wrathful Mind, Wrathful Will, Wrathful Ego). Substance Morph converts 100 fragments into a Daevanion Crystal: Ariel (Bound), up to 30 times per character, or 1 fragment into 5 Enhance Stones with no limit.

The October 27 PDT notes also cut boss stats: Attack down 15% in Normal Expedition and Transcendence Stage 1, Attack and Damage Boost down 10% in Hard Expedition and Transcendence Stages 2–4, and boss HP down 6.5% in Transcendence Stages 1–2. A new Daily Dungeon, Odylium Repository, gives Soul Crystals (Bound) by clear points and shares entries with Daeva Bio-Research Base. Kingy has not played these.

The Halloween event is announced from after October 13 PDT / October 14 CEST maintenance until before November 3 PST / November 4 CET maintenance. Use In-game Menu → Attendance for Trick or Treat rewards and Season Mission → Event for the event missions. Candy Key Fragments come from Expedition and Transcendence rewards; red, yellow and blue Candy Keys each require 60 fragments with a 100% listed morph chance, once per week per server. These are publisher rules, not a tested farming route.

Krao Cave, Urugugu Canyon, Fire Temple and Draupnir appear on NC’s official contents page as Expedition dungeons for up to five players. Their records now include the official setting text and preserve every unstated gameplay field as Unresolved.

When you group, record entry flow, party composition, objectives, mechanics and rewards with the platform, build and date. Those observations can fill the remaining gaps without being confused with official claims.

1. Use the dungeon-preparation planner to build a group of no more than five and pre-decide capabilities per dungeon.
2. Agree with your group how many attempts a wipe budget allows before reviewing.
3. Keep one player on notes duty — the first verified boss intel on this wiki will be player-sourced.

If a dungeon page cannot answer an entry, matchmaking, mechanic, reward or reset question, the reviewed official source did not answer it. The corrections route accepts dated, build-specific observations.

NC’s Global contents and Steam store advertise solo challenges, five-player party content and ten-player group dungeons. The four named Expedition records retain their specific up-to-five-player scope; ten-player content does not enlarge those records. NC’s transfer notice says all instanced content, including dungeons, is cross-server. Matchmaking flow, level gates, required roles, rewards and resets remain unconfirmed.
