What order should I run them in?

A typical Lv. 45 path on Global, based on community progression guides:

1. Sealed Dungeons and story while leveling — quick Kina and Daevanion Crystals.
2. Krao Cave and Draupnir Cave Conquest at around item level 700.
3. Abyss at item level 1,000 — see Abyss & PvP.
4. Urugugu Canyon Conquest and Vakron Sky Island at around 1,400.
5. Transcendence from 1,600, then Fire Temple and Ferocious Horn Den at around 2,100.
6. Sanctuary Raid: Ludra when it returns (reported gate 2,700–2,800).

Run Nightmare, Ascension Trial, Dimensional Invasion and Shugo Festival alongside, because their limits refill on timers. Use the daily checklist and timers to track them.

Daily Dungeon and Sealed Dungeons

• Daily Dungeon: Daeva Bio-Research Base under the Unknown Fissure tab. 14 entries per week, shared by all characters on a server, refilled on Wednesday. An Instant Clear Ticket still uses an entry — [Community ×2]. NC sells “Instant Clear Ticket: Daily Dungeon (Bound)” — [Official].
• Sealed Dungeons: solo instances in the open world that you clear once. They give Daevanion Crystals and skill points — [Community ×2]. One guide counts 60 in Verteron, each with 15,000 Kina among the rewards — [Single source].

Is there a Legion dungeon?

Not that we could find. Legions can rent a Legion Hall in four regions, but its instance only has training dummies — [Single source]. Searches for “Legion Hall” point there, not to a raid.

Global vs KR/TW

• KR raised the level cap to 50 on Jul 1, 2026 and added higher-tier Expedition content (for example Citadel of the Fallen Daeva at item level 3,800) — [KR/TW]. None of this is on Global yet. See What’s coming to Global.
• KR Transcendence gates were lower (1,200 / 1,500 / 1,800 / 2,200) — [KR/TW], not read directly.
• KR Expedition parties were 4 players before Jul 1, 2026; Global uses 5 — [Community ×2].

Terms: Dungeon, Expedition, Odyle Energy.
