Zone dungeons in RF Online Next are among the most rewarding activities in the game — offering accelerated EXP, rare equipment drops, and crafting materials that simply can't be matched by open-field hunting. This guide covers everything you need to know to push through them as efficiently as possible: optimizing your loadout before you enter, boosting your farming speed, playing smart in a party, and choosing the right dungeon for your goals.
- Enable automatic booster use from the general store
- Set all combat skills to auto-cast
- Switch to an attack-specialized Biosuit (Dreadnought or Arbiter)
- Upgrade and recharge your Divine Machine / deploy a Launcher
- Equip the highest enhancement level and rarity gear available
- Slot your strongest Talic markers before entering
Tips for Working Efficiently in Zone Dungeons
Enable Automatic Booster Use
Stock up on booster items at the general store and configure them to activate automatically. This keeps your stats elevated throughout the entire dungeon run without any manual input.
Use Medium EXP Up at the Right Moment
Medium EXP Up is a rare item obtainable through events that temporarily increases the experience points you earn. Because it is scarce, save it for high-yield dungeons like the Android Junkyard where EXP gain is already amplified.
Set Skills to Auto-Cast
With auto-skill enabled, abilities fire immediately when their cooldown expires. This is faster than manual casting and is generally the recommended approach for all dungeon runs.
Use an Attack-Specialized Biosuit
For solo dungeon runs, switch to a Biosuit role built around dealing damage. The two best options are:
- Dreadnought — physical attack focus, effective against multiple targets, capable of self-healing
- Arbiter — Force-based attacks, good AoE coverage, self-healing and self-buffing available
Both roles can handle groups of enemies independently and sustain themselves through combat, making them ideal for uninterrupted solo farming.
When running with a party, adding support roles significantly increases stability:
- Enforcer — Tank, aggro management, debuffs
- Technician — Healer, decoy deployment, debuffs
Deploy a God Arc Launcher
When placed on the map, a launcher automatically attacks nearby enemies from range. Some launcher types also provide support actions such as firepower boosts and shields — a reliable ally for solo players. Deploying one adds extra attack volume and speeds up hunting considerably. Adding party members on top of that increases attack count even further, making item and EXP collection easier.
Equip Your Strongest Gear
Always enter dungeons with the highest enhancement level and rarity equipment you currently own. High-rarity gear provides substantial stat boosts, so review your loadout often. You can also jump-start your power by purchasing starter packs from the shop — they include enhanced equipment at a relatively low cost.
Slot Talic Markers for a Stat Boost
Talic markers provide additional stat boosts to your character. Since they can be removed and reused freely, there is no reason not to slot the strongest ones you have before every dungeon run.
How to Further Improve Farming Efficiency
Prioritize Higher-Rarity Biosuits
A Biosuit's rarity directly determines its base stats and attack speed, with higher rarity translating into a significant offensive advantage. If you pull a high-rarity Biosuit from the gacha, equip it immediately.
Keep in mind that even within the same rarity tier, individual Biosuits can have meaningfully different stats — particularly attack speed. Always compare performance after a pull before committing to a Biosuit.
Equip High-Rarity Rovers for Maximum EXP Gain
Rovers boost stats just like Biosuits, but they specifically increase EXP gain and the number of healing ampoules you can carry — making them perfect for extended grinding sessions. At Mythic rarity, the EXP bonus exceeds Normal rarity by over 80%, so upgrading your Rover rarity is one of the highest-impact investments for dungeon farming.
Use the Exploration Schedule for Automated Farming
The Exploration Schedule lets you queue up dungeon runs so that your character automatically moves between areas and hunts enemies after completing each one. By setting the next destination right after finishing an area dungeon, you eliminate downtime entirely and maximize the value of every play session.
Use Party Auto-Battle to Focus Fire
In party auto-battle settings, configure members to attack the same target as the party leader. This concentrates damage and kills enemies much faster. On top of that, party members can cover skills and roles you personally lack, letting you clear content that would otherwise be too difficult to complete solo.
Challenge High-Difficulty Content with a Party
A full party including Technicians and other support roles can take on bosses above your individual level. Defeating high-level bosses opens up significant rewards, including legendary-grade MAU blueprints that are otherwise inaccessible.
Narrow the Auto-Battle Reaction Radius
Before starting an auto-battle session, reduce the auto-battle reaction radius in your battle settings. A smaller radius means your character moves shorter distances between targets and is less likely to accidentally aggro nearby monster groups, keeping combat controlled and efficient.
Points to Note When Running Dungeons in Multiplayer
Rewards Are Distributed by Contribution
In a party, EXP and item drops are allocated based on each player's contribution — determined by how much damage they dealt and whether they participated in support actions. Stay active in every fight to keep your share of rewards high.
Dungeon Details and Main Rewards
Every zone dungeon outperforms open-field hunting in overall efficiency. Weaving them into your daily routine is the fastest way to accumulate EXP, Credits, and gear. The right dungeon to enter depends on what you currently need most:
| Dungeon | Primary Purpose |
|---|---|
| Android Junkyard | Experience Points, Credits, Enhancement Materials |
| Secret Nemesis Base | Equipment and Crafting Materials |
| Public Mining Field | Holy Storm Equipment Crafting Materials |
| Exclusive Mining Field | Holy Storm Equipment Crafting Materials (guild-exclusive) |
Android Junkyard — Best for EXP
Against enemies of the same level, the Android Junkyard delivers roughly three times the EXP efficiency and about twice the Critical Hit Rate compared to field hunting. It also has no debuffing monsters or pre-emptive attackers, making it perfectly safe in auto-battle mode.
Secret Nemesis Base — Best for Equipment
This dungeon drops Epic-grade Prime equipment and valuable crafting materials. Pre-battle monster groups and boss encounters make it slightly harder than the Junkyard, but the trade-off is a noticeably higher chance of obtaining rare items. EXP and critical hit rates are marginally better than field enemies, but equipment is the real draw.
Public Mining Field — Holy Storm Gear Crafting
The Public Mining Field drops Holy Stones for powering the God Arc and blueprints needed to craft Epic-grade equipment. Enemy levels are higher here than in the Secret Nemesis Base, and bosses are especially formidable — party play is strongly recommended.
Exclusive Mining Field — Guild Members Only
Access to the Exclusive Mining Field is reserved for the guild that wins the Mining War. Because it is closed to all other players, your guild can farm bosses and Holy Stones without competition. While equipment blueprints are not available here, Epic-grade and higher equipment as well as Holy Stones drop exclusively within this zone.
