T&L Progression Guide: Combat Power & Dungeon Readiness
Plan T&L progression with current level and equipment milestones, Combat Power goals, dungeon readiness and Lucent delivery limits.
T&L progression is easier to plan when you name the activity you want to enter and the character you want to play. Character level, equipment Item Level and Combat Power are different checks. This guide helps new and returning players identify the missing step, prepare for group content and compare a defined progression package with a dungeon-clear or currency order.
Start With the Current Version of Your Character
Update 4.0.0 expanded the character level cap from 55 to 60 and added new Path of Ascension missions for Nix progression. An old level-55 endgame route is therefore not a complete current account plan. Check your Adventure Codex, progression missions and unlocked regions before copying a returning-player checklist. Read the Nix progression update.
Choose the weapon pair and role you want to keep using before spending on upgrades. Write down your current character level, the activity you want to enter and the requirement you have not met. A damage role, a healing role and a tanking role can need different practical preparation even when their displayed score looks similar.
Separate the three progression numbers
| What you are checking | What it helps you decide | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Character level | Which level-gated content to work toward. | A finished build or knowledge of an encounter. |
| Equipment Item Level | Which equipment growth stage you are examining. | Your character level or a complete activity unlock. |
| Combat Power | Whether you meet a displayed score requirement. | That the skill setup and role are ready for every fight. |
| Activity access | Whether the exact dungeon, tier or quest is unlocked. | Reward eligibility for unlimited repeated clears. |
Use Current Progression Missions Before Chasing Random Upgrades
Work through the next eligible progression objective, then re-check what it unlocked. Keep the reward you are pursuing specific: a useful item, a skill improvement or access to an activity. Avoid spending all your resources on one visible number before checking which other requirements remain.
September’s Update 4.12.0 raised the maximum equipment Item Level from 80 to 90 and changed growth rates and Inheritance costs. A guide about the former equipment cap can still explain an idea while giving you an outdated destination or cost. Read the current upgrade preview before consuming materials. Read the September equipment changes.
Our T&L Powerleveling currently sells selected character-level ranges within 1–55. That is the published service limit, not the current game cap. It is Piloted work, with weapon preferences and an optional Appendix Quests extra. A chosen level range does not include every story chapter or promise a finished level-60 build.
Treat Combat Power as a Milestone With a Purpose
Choose an activity first, then compare its current entry screen with your character. If the missing requirement is Combat Power, plan the score you need while keeping a usable weapon pair and skill setup. Do not replace a useful setup solely because another arrangement makes one number larger.
The Combat Power Boost service covers a selected current-to-target range within 1,700–10,900 CP, in steps of 100. It targets the score rather than a named rare item or a complete best-in-slot build. Use your actual current score and a higher target; the work needed at the upper end is not the same as an equal-sized increase near the start.
Before a group session, check the skills you will actually use, your ability to respond to a mechanic and the role the group expects. A useful readiness question is “What will I do when this mechanic begins?” rather than only “Can I enter the queue?” Practise the response before adding more difficulty.
Match the Exact Dungeon and Trial Tier
Update 4.3.0 added Frostbreath Cave to Dimensional Trials and reorganized the dungeon list by the highest Combat Power among enterable dungeons. That is one reason to check the current in-game list rather than assume an older named selection covers every available activity. Read the July dungeon and Trial update.
Our Dungeons & Dimensional Trials service offers named Co-Op clears, named Trial tiers and defined Open World token-farming selections. Co-Op counts run from 1–15; the listed Trial packages cover selected tiers 1–15 and clear bundles. Pick the dungeon and exact tier shown in the configurator. The published list is a selection of services, not a complete list of every current dungeon.
Check entry and reward conditions separately. You need the selected activity unlocked and the required reward resources ready if you intend to claim rewards. A clear package covers the selected completions; it does not supply missing tokens or guarantee one random weapon. An Open World token-use package uses resources already on your character and is a different unit from a Co-Op clear.
- Before joining, confirm the dungeon name, tier, role and the resources needed for rewards.
- Identify the mechanic you are least comfortable with and ask how the group handles it.
- Agree on positions and responsibilities before a difficult encounter.
- After a failed attempt, adjust one cause rather than changing your full setup without a reason.
Distinguish a Raid Clear From a Specific Drop
For a raid, name the encounter and difficulty you want to complete. A full clear and one boss encounter are different scopes. Check your available reward eligibility and the server schedule where relevant; buying more completions cannot make a limited reward claim available indefinitely.
A boss-kill count is also different from receiving a particular weapon. Compare the stated objective with the reward you actually want before choosing. If the goal is practice, focus on the mechanic and role you want to understand rather than treating a random-drop outcome as the only successful session.
Update 4.0.0 ended the Nebula Island season and removed it from the Lawless Wilds menu while restructuring was being prepared. Do not use an old Nebula farming route as a confirmed current activity. This guide does not recommend a Nebula purchase or promise that its former rewards remain obtainable through that route. Check the dated content change.
Match the service unit to your goal
| The package unit | What you need to check | What it does not automatically include |
|---|---|---|
| Character levels | Actual start, selected target and service range. | Every quest or a complete endgame build. |
| Combat Power range | Current score, target and preferred playstyle. | A named rare item or a particular full build. |
| Dungeon or Trial clears | Exact activity, tier, access and reward resources. | Missing access requirements or guaranteed random loot. |
| Abyssal resource use | The location and resources already available. | New resources purchased for your account. |
| Lucent amount | Region, gross amount and Auction House fee. | A named item, net-after-fee guarantee or gear upgrade. |
Plan Lucent Purchases Around Fees and Auction House Access
The Lucent service provides 500–30,000 Lucent in steps of 50 through an agreed Auction House purchase. The selected quantity is the gross purchase value. The game deducts its displayed seller commission, so your net proceeds are lower; tax reimbursement is not included. Match your server region and check the fee before posting an eligible listing.
Currency delivery does not require a PRO to control your character and has no Piloted or Self-play selector. It also does not include the equipment you might later buy with that currency. Plan the intended purchase and the listing arrangement separately, using the actual in-game prices and deductions.
Account for the Announced Service Transition Dates
The official transition notice schedules the Auction House closure from October 26, 2026 until the service handover is complete. Transition maintenance begins November 10, with its duration to be announced. These dates are still ahead at this October 15 review. Auction House delivery cannot operate while that feature is closed; confirm the live notice and delivery window before arranging a purchase. Read the transition schedule.
The notice also says existing character progression and currency will transfer unless a player opts out, and Xbox players will need the new NC-published app after the transition. Follow the official platform instructions when the handover happens. Do not confuse a future service change with a reset that has already happened.
Separate Announced Improvements From Live Features
The October Resistance Report plans November changes to high-level gear drops, Hit Chance and Evasion, plus increased Skill Core drops and targeted crafting. Those are announced plans at this review date, not a reason to claim the new rates or crafting options are already live. Check the release notes that actually deploy them before changing your progression route. Read the October Resistance Report.
Keep a short plan: one activity to unlock, one improvement to practise and one resource you are saving for. Re-check the plan after an important update. This makes it easier to avoid investing in a route that depends on a past season, a closed feature or a reward that has changed.
Choose Participation and Compare the Complete Package
Combat Power and the published dungeon selections offer Piloted or Self-play, with Self-play adding 20% to the selected Piloted package. Powerleveling is Piloted only; Lucent is delivery. Choose the method shown on the actual offer rather than assuming every activity supports the same format.
The T&L catalogue shows the complete chosen package in your selected display currency. Compare the goal, current character state, participation and included work. A level target, a CP range, a clear count and a currency amount should remain distinct when you decide what to order.
T&L Progression Questions
Choose your next progression step
Is level 55 still the game’s maximum character level?
No. Update 4.0.0 expanded the cap to 60. The published CFNBoost Powerleveling range currently stops at 55 and should not be read as the game cap.
Does a higher Combat Power score mean my whole build is finished?
No. Check the role, weapon pair, skills and encounter mechanics as well as the displayed entry requirement. The CP service targets its chosen score rather than a particular complete build.
Does a dungeon-clear package guarantee the item I want?
No. The package covers its selected activity and clear count. Random loot and reward eligibility follow the game’s rules.
Will the chosen Lucent amount arrive net of the Auction House fee?
No. The published amount is the gross purchase value. The game’s seller fee is deducted, and reimbursement is not included.
Can Auction House delivery continue through the planned closure?
No. The announced closure starts October 26 and lasts until the transition is complete. Check the live notice before arranging delivery.
Are November’s planned Skill Core changes already live?
They are announced for November in the October report, not confirmed live at this October 15 review. Check the deploying release notes.

Reviewed October 15, 2026 against the published CFNBoost scopes and the official sources below. Catalogue ranges are described as service limits, not universal game limits. Announced November work and upcoming transition dates are distinguished from live changes. Practice advice is an editorial approach, not a tested fastest route or a promised drop.
