    Hard Dungeons?

    I was wondering if there are Hard dungeons/Raids in end content.
    Because i already heard that everything here is clearable with random partys ... even the most hardest stuff in the game.

    And i was wondering if thats true :/

    there are no hard dungeons. however, the extreme primals are difficult, but clearable with randoms... sometimes... the hardest content is the savage mode of the alexander raid. the last turns (9-12) are less difficult than 1-8, but still very hard. you can maybe clear turn 9 with randoms, but turn 11 and 12.... i don't think so.

    but however, it is true that you can clear all the content with randoms. but of course that depends on the randoms you get. if you have already cleared a raid-turn or an ex primal you can use the raid finder wich will only search for people who have cleared said content as well. so it is easier to find randoms to clear harder content. but first you have to earn the kill yourself ^^

    the raid is really hard. turns 1-8 were cleared by around 1-3% of the playerbase and has destroyed many raidgroups. it will get easier in the future i guess, like 9-12, but it is still challenging.

    There is deep dungeon/Palace of the Dead which u can enter from level 17 on iirc. Theres in dungeon leveling (will not be transferred to open world) 1-50 are the easiest 51-100 have more story 101+ is for challenge and has rankings (without rank rewards). You get xp, tomestones and eventually a weapon for doing this (there is no must to reach certain floors for either)

    For what tint said on our server we have PUG clears of A1 A2 A5 A6 A9 A10 A11 and ik on japanese servers they tend to clear any turn.

    You can also always artificially increase the challenge by enabling minimum item level (can't use DF though). If challenge you seek, then you will find it. However you'll need to find people that are willing to go with you

    Last week I did A11S with a random party.

    The short answer is "yes" you can clear even the hardest dungeons with a random party.

    However, the long answer is that there is no way you will clear that unless each person in that party knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and has practiced for many hours.
    It took me 3 weeks of practice every day before I could clear Alexander floor 11 Savage. But now, it's easy for me.

    The reason even random parties can clear it is that most parties will follow the same strategy to do it, with some minor adjustments depending on server / datacenter.
    This is why, at the beginning of the fight, a tank will usually run a macro explaining the recommended fight mechanics. If everyone can follow them perfectly, it can be cleared.

    It's not any different than any other game. It is just a different culture in how things are approached. Anything can be cleared in any game with randoms. This question is non sense.

    well it's made for all types of players but yes there are special dungeons that are made ( Savage) for raids that are harder and there is an npc that will place you with random people so you have to work with possible non experience players which make it challenging.
