kRO Zero · Illusion dungeon

Illusion of Moonlight 일루전 오브 문라이트

The Ruined Village's other self, behind a Shimmering Space on Payon Cave's fourth floor: a hunting ground for level 100 and up, and an Advanced copy for level 150. How to get in, the daily quests, every monster with its current HP and EXP, and the Illusion equipment it pays for — where it is exchanged, refined and enchanted, with the enchanter's published odds. The dungeon has been reworked several times since 2020; this page gives what stands now and says which post each fact came from.

Payon holds a purification rite for the spirits of the Ruined Village in the cave behind the town. During one of them Muyeon, who was leading it, lost consciousness and ran off into the village, and the elders turned to adventurers. What they find on the cave's fourth floor is a place that is the Ruined Village and yet is not: the same ground, with its monsters grown resentful. 2020 note It was built for growing a character from level 100 to 120, with few daily quests and large rewards. 2020 note

Getting in

At base level 100, Payon Elder Sanyul gives A Suspicious Sign. 2020 note It sends you to the Young Scholar at the cave mouth in Archer Village, then to Muyeon in the annex, payon_in03 33 95, who can no longer hold the rite. Attempting it with her drops you in the Ruined Village, in front of the Shimmering Space. A scholar and a soldier follow you there, and Scholar Daechunghae goes through first. 2020 note Inside, he names the Wizard of the Truth as the cause and asks for one killed; the last step takes what he learned back to Muyeon.

At launch each paid 2,250,000 base EXP, 1,900,000 job EXP and 5 Illusion Stone. 2020 note They were repeatable ten hours after the last turn-in until January 2024, and have reset at 04:00 since. 2024 note Their EXP was adjusted in April 2025, with no figure given. 2025 note

In Advanced, Zirocker asks for 100 of the map's monsters, at level 150 or higher. Client His is one of the Illusion Investigation Team's quests, run from Captain Joel's office in Payon, payon_in03 190 10. 2024 note

Monsters

Level, element and race are the game's. HP and EXP are the March 2025 rework's, the last figures published.

Munak and Bongun are the most numerous, 35 of each on the game's navigation table, with 25 each of Sohee and Soldier, 20 Deranged Adventurers and 10 Nine Tails. The Wizard of the Truth is the main quest's target and pays about six times a normal monster's EXP. Angry Moonlight Flower is the MVP.

Advanced

Six of the eight, about 45 levels higher and in the same numbers. The navigation table lists neither the Wizard nor Moonlight Flower for the Advanced map.

What it drops

Each normal monster has its own material, and all of them drop Illusion Stone, which the daily quests also pay. 2020 note

Illusion Stone 환상석 From every monster and the daily quests. The currency.

Hazy Mooncake 흐릿한 달과자 From Resentful Munak.

Illusion Gemstone 환장석 From Resentful Bongun.

Since March 2025 the monsters drop Illusion weapons, helms and the muffler themselves — the weapons and the muffler already carrying random options — in place of the boxes they used to drop. The Illusion Weapon Box and Armor Box were removed, and the Mysterious Illusion Boxes and the Refine Hammer Box no longer drop. 2025 note A drop-rate penalty by level applies in every Illusion dungeon since May 2025, when the Illusion Stone's rate was also raised. 2025 note

Advanced drops Unlocked Illusion equipment, the level 150 versions of the same pieces. 2023 note Since March 2025 every Advanced Illusion dungeon drops from one shared pool of it, rather than each its own. 2025 note

As the 2020 post gave them; each card's page has its current text.

Illusion equipment

Fifteen weapons across fourteen jobs, four helms and a muffler, all for level 100. Each weapon gains ATK or MATK for every base level past 100, and each has a set bonus with the Illusion Muffler that strengthens two of its job's skills. 2020 note Most of the weapons were given more attack in December 2023. 2023 note

The Illusion corner in Payon

Four people at the north end of Payon, beside Elder Sanyul, turn what the dungeon drops into equipment.

1 2 3 4 5

1 Payon Elder Sanyul 페이욘 원로 산율 payon 164, 229 Starts the main quest.
2 Wanderer Bae Jonghwa 방랑자 배종화 payon 162, 233 Exchanges materials for Illusion equipment.
3 Silver Purifier Nasori 은빛 정화사 나소리 payon 164, 233 Sells the boxes that add random options.
4 Illusion Refiner Han Meoru 일루전 제련사 한머루 payon 167, 233 Trades Illusion Stones for refine hammers.
5 Enchanter Naenghokhan 인챈터 냉혹한 payon 169, 233 Enchants and resets Illusion helms.

Who	Gives	For, at launch
Wanderer Bae Jonghwa	Illusion weapons, helms and the muffler	20 each of the six materials and 30 Illusion Stone, for a box holding a random one
Silver Purifier Nasori	Mysterious Illusion Box (Physical Weapon) Mysterious Illusion Box (Magic Weapon) Mysterious Illusion Box (Garment)	500,000z each
Illusion Refiner Han Meoru	Illusion Refine Hammer Box: one of Illusion Weapon Refine Hammer, Illusion Helm Refine Hammer, Illusion Garment Refine Hammer	30 Illusion Stone

Those are the 2020 post's terms. 2020 note Bae Jonghwa's trade has changed twice since: in July 2024 it became a direct exchange, the piece you choose rather than a box, 2024 note and in March 2025 his way of selling was changed again, when the boxes were removed. 2025 note Neither notice gave the new prices.

Random options

A Mysterious Illusion Box puts three option lines on an Illusion weapon or muffler, one from each list below. Where a row names several stats, elements or races, the line is one of them. 2020 note

For the magic weapon box the post says variable cast time and SP use are increased by those amounts, where the garment box reduces them; it reads like a slip, but it is what the post says. Since March 2025 a dropped weapon or muffler already carries options. 2025 note

Refine hammers

A hammer sets an Illusion weapon, helm or garment to a random refine level from 1 to 10, most often 4 to 7. It can destroy the piece, and it can lower one already refined. 2020 note

Enchanting the helms

Enchanter Naenghokhan, payon 169 233, puts one enchant on an Illusion helm, from level 1 to 5. Most raise one skill's damage by 10% a level; critical damage, damage to all sizes and elemental magic damage rise 5% a level. An enchant works only while the Illusion Muffler is worn too — the Unlocked muffler counts since May 2023. 2020 note 2023 note

Since March 2025 it is done in the enchant window: level 1 is the enchant of your choice and always succeeds, and each level after is a roll. 2025 note From level 2 up, a failed roll drops the enchant one level; adding Gel Stars keeps it where it was. Disclosure

Step	Success	On failure	On failure, with Gel Stars
Level 1	100%	—	—
1 → 2	70%	Stays at 1	—
2 → 3	50%	Back to 1	Stays at 2
3 → 4	20%	Back to 2	Stays at 3
4 → 5	1%	Back to 3	Stays at 4

Gravity's probability disclosure, for all five Illusion helms and their Unlocked versions. Disclosure

The safe attempt takes 10 Gel Star, from the Cash Shop. 2024 note At launch an attempt cost 1,000,000z and 50 Illusion Stone; 2020 note no later post restates the price. Since August 2026 the enchanter can also reset a helm's enchant. 2026 note

Every enchant

The 2020 post listed 28. The game's files now hold more, for the jobs added since — Hammer of God and the other Rebellion skills, the Summoner's, the Star Emperor's. Each has five levels and works only with an Illusion garment worn; the last column is what the Unlocked muffler adds on top.

Enchant Client	Each level	At level 5	More with the Unlocked muffler
