2. Dailies
They're called dailies for a reason, you do them every day. Completing them will get you 1,900 Dungeon Points, which we'll get to later. You also get 30 gold, and some garnets and stuff. You might also run into Desirous Theano gears at the end chests, which are the next step up! If you don't need them, you can extract them for 500 Nest Points. You can also get cool things like Memory Fragments.
3. Nests
Getting to 93 will unlock your set of 93 nests. The key beginner ones are Returned Typhoon Krag, and Professor K. Completing these will get you Nest Points, as well as Desirous Theano gears. You also have a shot at getting Ultimate Theano gears, the top-tier epic gears of 93! They can sell for upwards of 10,000 gold, depending on which piece you get. This is because of the FD set effect. Other than that, you can also get 93 crests and garnets.
The other nests are Granom and Deep Sea Dragon. You might want to come back to these later, as these are way harder. Doing these will get you Talisman Essences for Level 93 Talisman crafting, Harmony Cubes, and Ascension Cubes, used for end-game Genesis Accessory crafting. You'll need to be decently geared to tackle these nests.
You should also familiarize yourself with the Lv90 Ice Dragon Nest (4 Player). You're rewarded with Quality Life-giving Essence, and materials to craft Lv90 Unique armors, which are a bit better than 93 Epics. Once you can clear normal and hardcore easily, you're one step closer to tackling the 8-man Ice Dragon Raid, which is one of your end goals. Clearing the 8-man hardcore will get you pieces to craft the best set of armors in the game!
Don't leave out your Lv90 nests. Daidalos can give you Drakonites, as well as 90 equips, which aren't out of the picture just yet. Manticore & Archbishop as well. And if you're going towards the weekly party reward, these nests should help.
Note I will not be going over the nest mechanics. This is just a general information guide.
4. Hero's Battlefield
In this dungeon, your gear is equalized, and you take on 5 bosses (10 in hardcore) for some Technique Fragments, which are used for Technique Accessories. These accessories give you a +1 in a certain skill, but the stats themselves are randomized, so prepare to spend a millennium in here. If you don't want to craft, you can sell the fragments for around 3 gold each. You have 5 clears for Normal/Hard, and 2 for Abyss (Hardcore) (ranked).
Looking for a challenge? Try to clear hardcore as fast as possible. Since it's ranked, you get rewards at the end of the week based on your time.
5. Nightmare Dungeon
In this dungeon, you kill mobs until a boss spawns, accumulating Nightmare Points along the way. Mobs spawn in the 4 sections of the map, usually with one player getting each section in a party of 4. There are 2 floors to each dungeon, getting you around 3,000 points per run. You have 3 attempts at Nightmare 1/2, and 2 attempts at Nightmare 3/4, which is slightly harder and also more rewarding. The reward chests give gold and Talismans, which you'll need a lot of.
NEW! Nightmare 5, an even harder version, rewards you with more nightmare points than the previous ones. However, you fight only bosses! You fight 7 bosses that give 800 points each, and then one final boss which gives 1,400 points.
Looking for a challenge? Try soloing all of your nightmare runs. This may take you a while, but the end chest rewards don't change based on players, and you're left with all of the rewards to yourself! That's a whole 29 talismans per week. You'll need these. You can extract them for talisman fragments, which sell for about 20 gold each. Keep the quality talismans that you need and extract the ones you don't (you get 6 pieces for quality talismans), they're for crafting the next tier talismans.
6. Daredevil Faire
This is a collection of fun dungeons that you can do on your spare time. You get passes from Magician Sanders for his specialty dungeons (2 per day), or if you have Memory Fragments from running daily dungeons, you can use those and take a trip down memory lane. Treasure dungeon offers lots of gold, and takes a Memory Fragment as a pass. You can choose from Dead Man's Road, Silent Cloister Main Hall, or Prayer's Retreat. Have fun! You're rewarded with Wonderful Points, which are useful for a certain Expedition Crest: Chaos Fellowship Heraldry.
7. Raids
Ready to tackle the biggest boss of them all? The 8-man I̶c̶e̶ ̶D̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶ RUNE DRAGON raid is out! This raid is a 93 cap raid, making it all the more challenging. It brings back some all-time favorite mechanic styles from Black Dragon and Red Dragon, requiring lots of team coordination to avoid boss wipes. Since there's no 4-player nor practice mode, you'll have to be geared enough to tackle 8-player to get any practice in. Be sure to communicate with your team, and best of luck!
Not quite ready for Rune Dragon? Fear not! Ice Dragon Raid is for you! Each boss has new mechanics you have to watch out for, and their attack and HP have been given a big boost! You're also limited on your revives, so be careful! Once you clear this, you're given more crafting materials for Ice Dragon U equipment, but at this point, you probably have all the gear that you need, so focus on getting the mechanics down. the 8-player mode has more mechanics than the 4-player mode. Once you have that down, try hardcore! The hardcore version is time limited, and you get 0 revives. NEW! Now, you don't need to do normal for an entry pass! Once you clear this, you're given crafting materials to Legendary gear (!!!) which is the best gear in the game. Oh, and you also get Time Cubes. You'll need those.
If you're not ready for that, you can try the Red Dragon Raid first. Even though it's level 80 cap, it still poses a big challenge to those that are unprepared. You're rewarded with Time Cubes and crafting materials for 80 Legendary gear (Hardcore only). NOTE: 80 Legendary gear, being old-style gear, only shines with enhancements past +10, so only go this route if you have the gold for it. It'll also save you for later, because you can enhancement transfer to Ice Dragon L gear with a -2 penalty.
8. Dark Banquet
This is a challenging, equalized dungeon that you can duo with a friend of yours. There are 12 floors, giving various rewards along the way such as talismans, altheums and diamonds, cubes, and more. The big reward is on the top floor, where you can get a Dark Stone buff that lasts 30 days!
