Hunter's Crucible Event Overview

Event Period

The "Hunter's Crucible" event begins on Thursday, June 18 and ends on Tuesday, July 8. The event will be held throughout the Ver1.1 period.

Quest Progress Unlocks Boss Fights

The boss fights for the Hunter's Crucible are unlocked by progressing through a short quest.

Where to Accept the Tutorial Quest

The tutorial quest can be accepted by speaking to Grad on Crystal Mountain Avenue in the New Herland District. The fights are unlocked immediately after the conversation, so you can jump right in.

Defeat Bosses to Earn Rewards

Hunter's Crucible is an event that involves defeating bosses with adjustable difficulties to earn points and obtain rewards. The rewards you earn vary depending on the number of points earned upon clearing the battle, which are determined by the parameters and modifiers you set before the battle.

Fight a Total of 7 Different Bosses

In the Hunter's Crucible, you can fight a total of 7 different bosses. Rewards are obtained separately for each boss, so be sure to defeat all of them to claim all rewards.

Scoring System and Rewards

Tougher Fights Offer Better Rewards

Each boss fight starts with a base score of 500, and increases as you adjust the difficulty and multipliers. The final score is calculated by multiplying the base score with the selected modifiers.

Annuliths Only Need 1,000 Pts.

Reaching 1,000 points for each boss allows you to collect all the available Annulith rewards. Since you can achieve 1,000 points with only a few modifiers, even beginners can claim all of the Annulith rewards.

Recommended Difficulty Multipliers

For an easy 1,000 points, we recommend adjusting the Target Time, Enemy ATK Up, and two attribute resistances of your choice. This allows you to reach 1,000 points on Easy difficulty.

Claim All Rewards with 5,000 Pts.

You can obtain all score-based rewards for each boss by defeating the boss with 5,000 points. Rewards beyond 2,000 points do not include Annulith or Fons, but you can earn upgrade materials, so aim for as high a score as possible for character resources.

"Ultra" Difficulty Required for 5,000 Pts.

A total of 5,000 pts. can only be acquired by clearing a boss battle with the highest difficulty, "Ultra". Since Ultra difficulty multiplies the final score by 5x, you can use the same modifiers you used to get 1,000 pts.

Total Score Title Unlocked at 15,000pt

The exclusive Title can be obtained when the total score across all bosses reaches 15,000 points. Aim for 2,000 points per boss, and then try to achieve 3,000 points on at least one boss for a combined total of 15,000 points.
