Hero Dynasty | Monkey Mountain

Overview

Monkey Mountain is an instanced solo dungeon designed for characters level 201 and above. It is the only source of materials required to craft and upgrade Darkness (Ultimate) Marbles, while also serving as a reliable source of gold income. Materials obtained here are also used in daily quests.

Each run lasts up to 15 minutes and can be repeated as many times as desired. The dungeon is relatively straightforward, making it an excellent daily activity for players working on Darkness progression.

Note: Players above level 245 will no longer receive any drops inside Monkey Mountain due to the level difference between the player and the monsters.
