Nixie's Lake

Nixie's Lake is map 113 and it is the first Season 20 map genuinely reserved for endgame: entry asks for 630 total level, meaning level 400 with at least 230 master levels. In exchange, it delivers 335 monsters of level 192 to 194, with a 5 second respawn, on a water map nobody competes over.

This is also home to Nix, the only Season 20 boss on the server with a schedule of his own. He shows up once a day, with 30 million health, stays five minutes and sinks back into the lake.

• 113map number
• 630total level required
• 25,000zen on the Move
• 335monsters
• 5 sfield respawn
• 30 mNix health

How to get there

Inside the lake there is also a pair of internal teleports, also with the 630 requirement, linking (62,108) to (149,85) and coming back through (143,89). In the arrival safe zone stands The Spirit of Nixie, the lake's NPC.

Who lives in the lake

Three species, all with the original Season 20 models, and quite different profiles from one another. It is worth reading the table carefully, because the most dangerous one here is not the one with the most health.

• Paraca is the tank: 240,000 health, double the other two, and average damage. It takes a while to go down.
• Bass is the one that hurts: 3,200 maximum damage with half the health of the Paraca. It is the most numerous on the map.
• Vasuki is the evasive one: it hits for little, but it has 2,500 defense rate, more than triple the other two. A character with a low attack rate will miss a lot of hits on it.

Nix

Nix is the lake boss and the only Season 20 boss here with an automatic scheduler. He surfaces once a day, at a time drawn inside a window, stays five minutes and sinks. There is a control that guarantees only one Nix alive at a time, so there is no point waiting for two.

His five abilities are ice and area based, and three of them freeze or cover a good part of the group:

Knowledge Absorb, the mechanic that decides the fight

Every 180 seconds Nix summons a Crystal Stone and starts channeling for 30 seconds. What the party does in those 30 seconds changes the rest of the fight:

1. 1The stone appears

   Nix stops focusing and starts channeling for 30 seconds.

2. 2If you break the stone

   The boss is stunned for 10 seconds, a free damage window.

3. 3If you let it finish

   He heals 10% of maximum health and gains +25% damage, stacking every time.

What drops here

The four global groups: zen on half the kills, random item on 30%, jewel at 0.1% and excellent at 0.01%. With the whole lake between level 192 and 194, all four apply to any monster on the map.

The lake spent a while dropping absolutely nothing, not even zen, because it was registered with the medal groups only and no monster here comes close to the medal range. Fixed: today a Paraca drops the same as a classic monster of equivalent level.

Is it worth it?

In short: as an experience field for anyone between 630 and 770 total level, Nixie's Lake is the best place available, because it is the one with level 192 monsters in quantity. As a source of items, it is the same as any other high level map, because the drop table is the same across the whole server.

• Deep DungeonThe next step up, at 770 total level.
• Total levelHow the server adds up level and master level.
