Faceworm Nest 페이스웜의 둥지

The first of the Traces of the Hero dungeons: a level 110 party memorial dungeon entered from the Dimensional Rift, set in a forest near ancient Payon. Its monsters and the five Faceworm Queens, the clear reward, every item the Rift's vending machines trade for Dimension Stones, the Faceworm Queen weapons and class Giant Snake Skins, and all three random option lists — and how its farming moved to two open Payon fields in 2025. Every fact says where it came from.

One of five Faceworm Queens

With the Dimensional Rift opened to travel, the kingdoms sent their first expedition through it to a forest near ancient Payon, home to arthropods — chosen because one wanderer had come back alive from there. 2019 note It was the first of the Traces of the Hero memorial dungeons, and brought the Faceworm Queen weapons, Giant Snake Breath and a Giant Snake Skin for each class. 2019 note

Getting in

When the Nest opened, the way into the Dimensional Rift was the Continental Guard in Morroc, at morocc 296 204. 2019 note The game's navigation table now has three more: a portal inside the Eden Group's headquarters at moc_para01 38 78, beside Dimension Cat Mu Mu, and others from Destroyed Morroc and from the Sograt Desert's own rift. The Eden Group's lands you by the Dimensional Teleporter at dali 120 71, the other two a few steps south of it. Inside, the Magic Scholar at dali 80 60 creates the Nest for your party. Client The run ends at the Dimensional Gate, and only by leaving through it do you receive the dimension's items. 2019 note

Blank map art — one empty image stands in for 297 of the 837 maps that have a file at all. The client ships the file; there is nothing in it.

Monsters

The game's spawn list does not cover memorial dungeons, so every figure below is the 2019 post's. EXP is base / job.

Monster Lv 2019 note HP 2019 note EXP 2019 note Element 2019 note Size 2019 note

All nine are Insects. The post marks every Queen an MVP; the five differ only in element. The post calls the dark one and the larva "Faceworm Dark Z" and "Faceworm Larva Z" — the names their field copies carry today.

2019 note

Rewards

The Rift's currency is Dimension Stone, and its small change Dimension Stone Piece: a hundred pieces make a stone, and a stone breaks into 70 to 120 pieces at the Cracked Stone Vending Machine, dali 111 96. Pieces drop from the Faceworms, the dark one, the eggs and the larvae. 2019 note

Finishing one of the cleanup quests lets you claim the clear reward from the Dimensional Teleporter. It was 2 Dimension Stones at launch; since July 2020 it is 20 Dimension Stones and 2 Dimensional Crack Stone. 2019 note 2020 note

The vending machine

The Merchandise Vending Machine, dali 85 68, sells everything the Nest pays for. The equipment also drops inside. 2019 note

The 2019 post's prices. The shop's own screenshot in that post lists the scrolls at 50 without naming the currency; its item table says pieces.

Equipment

Faceworm Queen weapons

Five Queen weapons for level 110, each built around one skill, plus the Faceworm Leg for level 60 first jobs. 2019 note Three of them — the Tailbone, the Horn and the Fangs — had their base attack raised in December 2022. 2022 note

Giant Snake Skin and Breath

The plain Giant Snake Skin drops from the dark Faceworm. Put it in a Dimension Box and it becomes the Giant Snake Skin of one second transcendent class, at random — each a garment with that class's skills, and a set bonus with Giant Snake Breath, the lower headgear the Queens drop. 2019 note In 2022 the developers made a Rebellion skin obtainable here as well. 2022 note

As the 2019 post gave them. Since September 2025 the Queen's card is no longer announced server-wide when found, can be removed from its slot without a special item, and is no longer in the Boss Card Exchange Box. 2025 note

The move to the field

In April 2025 the developers named the Nest, with Old Glast Heim and Sarah's Memory, as a memorial dungeon whose farming would move to a field: after one clear, a special field tied to it would let you hunt for its equipment and materials without creating the instance. 2025 note In September 2025 two Payon fields opened with its monsters, Payon Snake Forest at level 110 and Forest of the Giant Serpent at 140, where the Queen became an ordinary mid-boss. 2025 note Whether the clear is required to enter them, as planned, no post confirms.
