Clear Dungeons for Chests

Dungeons also have Treasure Chests that are locked behind the Boss Room. Defeat bosses inside Dungeons to unlock the closed path and claim your loot after the battle ends.

Once you've completed a dungeon, you will need around 20 dungeons to close off before it opens up again. To close off a dungeon, you will need to either complete it or wait for its 5-hour timer to expire. If you're only waiting for the timer to expire, it will take around 3 hours for the dungeon to respawn.

Head on to our guide below to know where each Dungeon is located!

Best Chest Farming Routes

Dungeon Farming Routes

Opening dungeon chests is one of the best ways to farm for new and upgraded equipment. The chests found at the end after defeating the boss have a different drops from the standard overworld chests. This makes them ideal for farming items like Schematics, Accessories, Tech Manuals, and Skill Fruits.

Depending on the level of the dungeon, the rewards at the end will come in different tiers. At low levels, you will only be rewarded with basic items, while at the highest level, you'll be able to find drops that can't be found anywhere else, like the Future Tech Manual.

Do note that only the chests behind the dungeon boss will contain this loot and that the other chests found in the dungeon have the same drops as overworld chests.

Lv. 45 Late Game Dungeons

Dungeon Farming Route
Waypoint: -138, 465

These are the highest level dungeons that are currently available, and the chests in these dungeons contain the best drops, like +2 Accessories and Rocket Launcher Schematics.

To find these dungeons, players will have to head north to the snowy mountain area and look for dungeon entrances marked by blue ice crystals and white trees.

Do note that there is one dungeon, specifically dungeon 13, that doesn't have the notable crystals and trees to mark the entrance. If ever you don't see the dungeon, then it is just currently closed and it will open up again once you've cleared a max of 20 other dungeons or wait for a maximum of 3 hours for it to respawn.

Lv. 38 Mid to Late Game Dungeons

Dungeon Farming Route
Waypoint: 537, 525

The dungeons located in the desert area in the northern part of the map are ideal for farming items in the mid to late game. To find these dungeons, players will have to look out for a flowering cactus that is next to the rocky entrance of the dungeon.

Also, you may go to the Lv. 40 dungeons located in the volcano area to farm for mid to late-game items, but the dungeons in the desert are lower level, a lot easier to locate, and contain the same chest loot drops.

Lv. 29 and Below Dungeons

These dungeons aren't ideal for farming equipment since it is better to farm Wildlife Sanctuary Chests for mid-game drops instead. On those islands, you won't have to navigate a dungeon and defeat a boss. You can just simply use a Pal to fly to an island and open multiple chests without any confrontation.

However, if you're struggling at the low levels, then consider doing Lv. 13 Dungeons until you've advanced enough to get a mounted flying or swimming Pal that can take you to the No.1 Wildlife Sanctuary.

Sanctuary Chest Farming Routes

Wildlife Sanctuary Chests are special in that the loot drops are different from the standard chests, similar to the chests found after a dungeon boss. This makes them ideal for farming mid-game items because they can drop mid-game Schematics, Common Accessories, High Grade Tech Manuals, and Skill Fruits.

Chest Respawn Time

When Do Chests Respawn?

Respawns After Nine In-Game Days

It was observed that chests can respawn after nine in-game days. In case they have not, it is best to keep looking for chests in unexplored areas of the day.

Having a fast Flying Mount with you can help tremendously in scouting out chests, especially in rough terrain or high places where chests are likely to be positioned.
