Palace of Nirvana

Nirvana 101:

• The Palace of Nirvana is one of the strongest dungeons in the game. It requires great amounts of teamwork and great knowledge of your class and character, to include the weaknesses of the enemies you face, and the weaknesses of your own character.

Requirements

• ● You will need to be level 100 and above.
• ● You will need 1 Nirvana palace key per run to enter. They are available from any of the listed below:
  • - Level 100 Bounty Hunter dailies upon completion give 1 Nirvana palace key.
  • - Free daily keys (3) available from The Mysterious Old Man across from the Teleporter in Raging Tides City.
  • - Extra keys bought from The Mysterious Old Man for 3 million coins each.

Dungeon Tips

• Make sure that you are not lagging. One second without healing or attacking can be your downfall.

• Watch your squad, especially if you're a cleric. If you have a healing ability, use it when absolutely needed to provide backup support to an overcrowded cleric.

• As with any dungeon, the dream team includes a Tank and a Healer. This doesn't have to be a Barbarian and a Cleric, but remember that these classes are preferred when seeking a party for Nirvana.

• Bring potions of any and all kinds. Make sure you have a backup weapon in case it breaks during the run. If you have charms, now is a good time to use them.

• If you die in Nirvana, you can simply release and talk to the Mysterious Old Man to re-enter the current area you are in and continue to fight. For this reason alot of people decide to do Nirvana when they have no experience points to lose, thus it does not matter if you die.

Popular Squad Formations

• There is many ways to complete Nirvana, below will be the most current popular Squads used to complete Nirvana.
• These might not work for everyone as with anything it is dependent on the persons skill and gears.
• There can be lots to do in Nirvana so therefore it is not generally solo-ed, however it is possible.
• Anyone can do Nirvana, all you really need is a Tank, DD and a Cleric as with most instances.
• Below are just a few squads that are used to get the job done quicker and more efficiently while making a nice profit.

• 3-4 Man Squads
• - Usually consists of the following
  • - 5 APS Tank
  • - Venomancer / BM
  • - Cleric

• With this squad, the 5 APS user will tank, while cleric will be healing and debuffing. The venomancer / BM will be expected to do most of the work such as the chest digging at the final boss and will generally be there to help support damage with Heavens Flame(BM) or Amp & Purge(Veno).

• 6 Man Squads
• - Usually consists of the following
  • - 5 APS Chars x3-4
  • - Barb
  • - Sin

• Since dying does not matter too much in Nirvana, you can simply release and re-enter the same area very quickly, some squads fill up with overpowered 5 aps users a Sin and Barb for HP / PAtt / Bloodpaint buffs and quickly kill bosses in under a few minutes. Runs will be very fast meaning multiple runs can be done quickly to make up for the fact theres 6 squad members.
