β β arrangement of barrels with candles
β β entrance to the stairs to the second/third floor
Talk to NPC Old Pirate Zaken's Gatekeeper in Giran Harbor to teleport into the instanced zone.
After entering, all buffs, except the Club, will be cancelled. If you don't have a club card, you can buff your character with Sweet Fruit Cocktail Physical Buffs NG and Fresh Fruit Cocktail Magical Buffs NG (sold by Butler) or add a PP, Warc or Over to your party.
The interior of Zaken's ship consists of 3 identical floors. The boss is in one of the rooms in a state of invisibility. At this moment he is not aggressive.
There are two ways to find Zaken.
Method 1 β Classic. There are barrels with candles in the paths between the rooms. Light the candles to check for Zaken in the next room. If the candle lights up red, the boss is not nearby. If it lights up blue, that means the boss is in one of the adjacent rooms. Light 4 blue candles to bring Zaken out of invisibility. This method is inconvenient because when you light red candles, monsters spawn that interrupt the search.
Method 2 β Lifehack. Players have found that invisible Zaken takes damage from area-of-effect abilities while remaining neutral to the attacker. Use area-of-effect abilities in rooms until you see in the system chat that Zaken has taken damage. Once you have detected the boss, light candles in the adjacent corridors to bring Zaken out of invisibility.
After removing invisibility, Zaken becomes aggressive. Before lighting the last candle, move the entire group into the corridor to prepare for the fight so the tank can gain aggro without interference.
Along with Zaken, 4 monsters will come out of invisibility. First of all, get rid of them so that they do not kill pets and do not touch supports.
The boss fight is not difficult. Zaken will occasionally use a powerful attack Dual Attack Lv. 1 and apply a hold effect to party members.
If you run out of time or the entire group dies, you can re-enter the instance after the time zone closes (10 minutes).
Experience for killing Zaken in the instance is constant for each group member, which means it doesn't matter how many of you there are β 5 or 9, each player will receive the same amount of experience.
Pets gain experience without a level difference penalty between the owner and the pet.
Base EXP for killing Zaken in the instance β 2 560 000 EXP.
Base EXP is multiplied by the current experience rate from RB (watch patchnote), bonus from Rune of Experience and buff for achievement.
Let's calculate the experience with and without boosts, for example.
Players of levels 60 and 64 killed Zaken in the instance without used experience boosts:
Then they completed the Zaken Instance a second time, but with boosts:
*Daily Online Reward β Reward for the "Daily Online" achievement.
*Experience Runes come in two types β +30% and +50%, bonuses do not stack. When using several runes, the player receives a bonus from the strongest one.
Pay attention!
