Abscess

The Abscess is dungeon for level 65 players. There exists 5-man and 7-man raid versions as well as hard mode.

Dungeon was originally out in July 2014 as level 60 dungeon. In KTERA and JTERA The Abscess hard mode was released in a separate patch. In NA/EU it was part of "Wounded World" update (Lakan's Prison, Rift's Edge). The Abscess hard mode was meant to be successor to Manaya's Core – a difficult end-game dungeon that requires considerable practice to reliably complete, dropping some of the best equipment in the game. While the bosses are same as the Abscess 7-man raid, the mechanics are heavily modified and damage greatly increased.

After released as level 65 dungeon it has been easy farming dungeon than can be cleared in minutes. As of patch v108 it's again lowest dungeon (5-player format) at level 65, which allows leveling to 70.

Dungeon also has hard mode that is currently not available. Mechanics in hard mode are significantly more complicated and it's for 5-man parties. Hard mode dropped Krakatox Bone, which started a quest for Archetype Weapons (VM3) from Muhrak. Hard mode was rereleased in April 2016 as event dungeon. Fifteen clears during the event awarded shiny title "Witness to History".
