Expert Mode

New content added on Evolved Update, just like the name says it is a new difficulty added on current dungeon. The mobs and monster scales depending on party's weapon enchant.

Currently all dungeon has Expert Mode except these:

• Wolves' Den (Lv. 10)
• Wolves' Den (Lv. 15)
• Black Claw Nest

Expert Mode Rules

More Key Notes:

• Mobs HP depends on character's weapon enchantment
  Ideally you want your party to have same enchantment level (+20 recommended)
• No more Min-Max Damage
  Meaning you will deal fixed range of damage scales based on your weapon enchantment (+0 means will always deal min, +20 will always deal max dmg)
• Weapon Level and Character Level cannot exceed 15 level difference
  You will get damage penalty and will heavily impact your performance
  Every level difference will reduce your skill's fixed damage by 10%, up to 100% at 10 level difference ( e.g 240% + 400 )
• Some Behavior of dungeon will be changed
  especially respawn-instance type like Water Temple, Magma Dungeon
• More party members give more EXP bonus
  Bigger party gives better EXP, 1/2/3/4 members gives +0/25/66/100% EXP bonus respectively
• Soul Gem Behavior Changes
  Soul Gem gives bonus EXP (+10/20/40/70/100% Respectively) instead of minimum damage, since min-max damage calculation depends on weapon's enchantment in Expert Mode
• Mobs has scaling defense
  

Expert Mode Rewards

There are tons of benefit running expert mode, as in:

• Huge EXP Reward
  Mobs yield a lot of exp, because of this F7 has been replaced by expert mode instead
• Double Clear Reward
  Instead of getting 4 rewards, now you can get 8 in single run.1
• Upgraded version of Dungeon's Gear
  Most of them has [Best] tag on upgraded version, some gear are limited into expert mode only (e.g Red/Blue Paris Wing, Deckard Helmet)

Specific Dungeon Notes:

Some notes on expert dungeon that is occasionally run

Underground Graveyard (35+)

Good for low level player to rush level if they don't have gold issue, dungeon behavior doesn't change at all

Verdurous Forest

Currently the best dungeon to leveling until you can run drakos comfortably, [Best]Mysterious Fog Cape can be used until Paris Wing

Kundara Dungeon

This is not recommended for level farm, as mobs density is not good, you spend more time walking than killing mobs. The reason people run Kundara is to get Aram's Belt of Perseverance / Wisdom, since you can't get rewards if you are high leveled, expert made it possible while giving you 8 rewards instead.

Main Loot:

• Aram Belt of Perseverance
• Aram Belt of Wisdom

Van Cliff

People still prefers Verdurous Forest since it doesnt take long per run and has better time windows for EXP potions.

Dungeon's behavior changed as it starts at B10.

Main Loot:

• Deckard's Helmet

Drakos Tower

End Game Expert Mode dungeon. Known as ExCo, because it gives most exp while offering good limited reward that is considered Best in Slot (Paris Wing)

Main Loot;

• Paris Wing (Red)
• Paris Wing (Blue)
