Lunar Glade

File:Lunar Glade.png

Overview

The Lunar Glade is a high level dungeon in which you can farm level 95 gear, farm molds for third cast Nirvana and R9 gear, and complete one of the level 100+ Bounty Hunter quests. It can be opened in three modes: Solo, Trophy, and Squad, each with varying degrees of difficulty.

Similar to Warsong, this dungeon is broken down into different areas based on the elements. Those valleys are:

Valley	Element	Boss	Modes Accessible
Humorum	Earth	Genesiac Blink	Solo, Squad, (TM?)
Imbrium	Wood	Mystical Jarax	Solo, Squad, (TM?)
Smythii	Metal	Massaca Seben	Solo, Squad, (TM?)
Nubia	Fire	Burning Soul	Solo, (TM?)
Frigorus	Water	Buddha's Servant	Solo, (TM?)
Cognitum	Physical	Hauntery Queen	Solo, Squad
Lunar Glade	<none>	Varies	Squad, (TM?)

If at any time you leave the dungeon, you can get back to your squad by running thru the blue shimmering portal forward and to the right of where you first spawn in. This portal will always take you to the first valley that was opened. If your squad has moved on to a further valley, you'll need to run the length of the valley and retake the teleport quests from the NPCs.

Solo Mode

In Solo Mode, you are required to pay 1 Essence of Nature (comparable to Ultimate Subs) to open the dungeon. Once it is opened, you can choose which valley you start in. Which valley you choose as your first valley will determine which second and third valley you get.

In this mode, only the elemental Fragments and Crystals will drop. There is a slight chance that the elemental Essences can drop from the bosses, but the drop rate is so low that you shouldn't count on it.

Solo Mode Paths:

• <path 1>
• <path 2>
• <path 3>

Squad Mode

Your squad's journey through to the Lunar Glade will take you through three valleys in total. The first valley will always be Humorum and the last will always be the Lunar Glade. The second valley and the chief inhabitant of the Lunar Glade are dependent upon your actions in Humorum.

Like open map mobs, the mobs in the valleys can have modifiers such as Sacrificial Assault, Increased Life, and Increased Defense. Additionally, mobs may spawn additional mobs once they have been aggroed. This new mob will be spawned on any party member within the range of the aggroed mob.

Each of the valleys has a kill count associated with it. If you do not kill 50%+1 of the mobs, the boss will stay in a frenzied state when you attempt to kill him. The quest is different for each valley and will auto complete once enough mobs have been killed.

Humorum (Earth)

Upon opening, the party will be teleported into Humorum Valley. The Mobs here immobilize but overall aren't hard to deal with. Follow the path around until you take a left turn into a room with pillars and an open area in the center. To either side is a path with 7 normal mobs and a tombstone that is immune to physical damage. Which tombstone(s) you kill determine which second valley and final boss you will unlock.

Tombstone	2nd Valley	Final Boss	3rd Cast Molds
Left	Imbrium	Relic of Wind	Chest, Wristguards
Right	Smythii	Drake Fling	Leggings, Boots
Both	Cognitum	Primal Fear	Helm, Cape, Belt

As soon as you kill one tombstone, the boss will spawn. If you want Cognitum valley and Primal Fear, make sure you kill both tombstones before you kill the boss. Once the boss is dead, the path is set and cannot be changed.

---

Genesiac Blink

---

This boss is a tower that spawns in the central area of the valley. As soon as he is aggroed, he spawns three adds. The adds cast an AOE earth resistance debuff which decreases that resistance by about 90%. They will use Earth attacks at range and both Earth and Physical attacks at melee.

There are two ways most squads deal with this boss: ranged or with a decoy.

The Ranged Approach The goal here is to kill the boss from far enough away that the adds won't aggro on you. The safe distance is 26-28 meters, depending on where you stand. Watch the adds circle the tower for a moment before you start so you can see their path. It's more of an ellipse than a circle, so some places are safer than others. Since the boss is a tower, he's stationary, so you won't have to worry about his melee attacks. He will, however, deal a ranged Earth damage attack on occasion as well as use the curse debuff.

The Decoy Approach In this method, a decoy is sent in first to take aggro of the adds and lure them away from the rest of the group. Remember that the debuff they cast is AOE and has a decent range, so remember to keep them a decent distance from the tower. Also, if you kill the adds, they will respawn at the boss. Once the adds are gone, the rest of the party is free to kill the tower without interference.

Drops:

• Various Essences
• Heart of Genesiac Blink
• Genesiac Blink's Skin

---

Vile: Genesiac Blink

---

After you kill Genesiac Blink, an Attendant NPC will appear from which the squad leader can summon a second version of the boss. There are no adds with this one, so he's a little easier in that regard, but he will use the curse debuff and an AOE purge. He also has an AOE attack that will interrupt channeling.

Drops:

• Nothing, but you can still get the Basic Badge as a quest reward.

---

Card Boss: Jaden Rutidon

---

After killing Genesiac Blink, follow the path around to the end of the valley. Where the two bridges meet, there will be a Summonbot for the card boss Jaden Rutidon.

The overgrown lizard will spawn in the water behind the bot. Every once in awhile he'll sleep a party member, but he goes down easily.

Drops:

• Stamina Mats

Once you're done here, talk to the NPC on the island in the pool and be teleported into your next valley.

Imbrium (Wood)

The longest of the valleys, Imbrium is full of mobs that like to sleep and poison. Unless you're a die-hard, skip every mob you can. It's impossible to not make kill count for this valley unless you're a sin and stealth the whole thing.

---

Card Boss: Archelon

---

Kill the first four mobs and turn around to find the Summonbot for this boss. This turtle has a weak AOE attack but overall goes down without much fuss.

Drops:

• Dexterity Mats

---

Mystical Jarax

---

Meet Peachblossom Ritualist's little sister. She'll poison and use an AOE seal, but the fight is fairly easy.

Drops:

• Various Essences
• Gloom of Mystical Jarax
• Mystical Jarax's Poison

---

Vile: Mystical Jarax

---

Slightly harder version.

Drops:

• 3rd Cast Chest Molds
• 3rd Cast Wrist Molds
• Basic Badge (Quest Reward)
