What Is the Dimensional Tri-Plate?

The Dimensional Tri-Plate is a special-use item that summons a monster on the spot. Once defeated, the monster drops valuable items that can be claimed by the summoner and nearby participants. There are two versions of this item, and understanding the difference is key to planning your farming sessions.

Novus A-C is one of the field zones where the Dimensional Tri-Plate can be used.

• Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate: 95% chance to summon a regular monster, 5% chance to summon a boss monster.
• Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate: 100% chance to summon a boss monster, guaranteeing the best possible rewards.

Benefits and Rewards From Defeating the Summoned Monster

Both the summoner and nearby participants can benefit from a successful Dimensional Tri-Plate fight, making it a great group activity for guilds and parties.

The Atlas battleground is a higher-difficulty zone with better drop chances.

• The summoner receives summoner-exclusive rewards, including items such as Adventurer Coins.
• Participants have an easier time obtaining rare equipment from the defeated boss.
• Monster types and reward quality vary by grade — areas like Novus A-C and High Orbit offer different loot tables, with higher-difficulty zones giving more valuable items.
• Hero equipment can drop from all areas except Novus A-C.
• Rare Prime items are only available as boss drops, making the Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate especially valuable for collectors.
• Depending on the grade, you may also obtain parts of MAU design blueprints, launcher blueprints, Type E Prime gear, and skills. MAU and launcher blueprints specifically come from Novus E and above, as well as Crag and High Orbit.

💡 Tip: The more participants there are, the higher your chances of winning an item. However, you can't win anything unless your group defeats the boss, so balance group size carefully.

💡 Tip: If your goal is to collect Prime items, it's recommended to craft Novus A-C Dimensional Tri-Plates to build toward a complete set.

Precautions Before Using a Dimensional Tri-Plate

Novus F's Paleos area features high-level enemies that require a full party.

• 15-minute time limit: Once a monster is summoned, you must defeat it within 15 minutes or you won't receive any items.
• Solo play is difficult: Summoned bosses are tuned for parties. Due to high HP and the time limit, soloing is very unlikely to succeed — call your guild or friends, or summon in a populated area.
• Rewards are distributed: While the summoner gets a guaranteed reward, the best items are distributed among all participants, so you're not guaranteed to receive the top-tier drop yourself.

💡 Tip: Going with guild members is recommended, since dropped items can be shared within the guild — a great way to boost your guild's overall combat power. You could also schedule a set time and have everyone with a Tri-Plate contribute together.

💡 Tip: After the battle ends, a results screen shows exactly who obtained which item.

How to Obtain the Dimensional Tri-Plate

There are several ways to get both the Unstable and Stable versions of the Dimensional Tri-Plate. The table below summarizes which methods apply to each type.

Method	Unstable	Stable
Dropped by monsters	Yes	No
Crafting	Yes	Yes
Guild Raid Loot Box	Yes	Yes
Defeating Event Boss	No	Yes

1. Dropped by Defeating Monsters

The Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate can occasionally drop from regular monsters. The level range and area depend on the monster type, with each Tri-Plate type dropping in the zone where its corresponding monster resides.

Type	Enemy Level	Area
Novus A-C	50–63	Field
Novus D	64–72	Field
Novus E	73–79	Field
Novus F	80–91	Field
Atlas	50–55	Battlegrounds (Atlas Canyon)
Crag	60–70	Battlegrounds (Crag Orbital Lift)
High Orbit	75–90	Battlegrounds (High-Orbit Launch Base)

2. Crafting an Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate

Crafting interface for an Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate.

Each grade of Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate is crafted using a specific number of matching-grade Rare Weapon Blueprints:

Type	Required Materials
Novus A-C	Rare Weapon Blueprint II ×10
Novus D	Rare Weapon Blueprint III ×10
Novus E	Rare Weapon Blueprint V ×10
Novus F	Rare Weapon Blueprint VII ×5
Atlas	Rare Weapon Blueprint III ×10
Crag	Rare Weapon Blueprint V ×10
High Orbit	Rare Weapon Blueprint VII ×5

Each Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plate requires either 5 or 10 weapon blueprints of the matching grade, depending on the type. Since drop types vary by area, check the drop rates for each zone if you're targeting a specific item before choosing which one to craft.

💡 Tip: Armor and accessory blueprints come from crafting Contract Mission Boxes — not from the Dimensional Tri-Plate.

3. Crafting a Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate

Crafting a Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate from 20 Unstable ones.

Follow these steps to craft a Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate:

• 1 Collect 20 Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plates of the same area/type.
• 2 Combine them through the crafting menu into a single Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate of that type.
• 3 Use the Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate to guarantee a boss summon, instead of relying on the 5% boss chance from Unstable versions.

Theoretically, 20 Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plates should average out to one boss appearance. The Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate removes that randomness entirely, making it the recommended choice for players who want guaranteed boss-tier rewards.

4. Guild Expedition Loot Box

Completing a Guild Expedition rewards a loot box with a chance for Dimensional Tri-Plate.

Completing a Guild Expedition rewards a loot box that can contain a Tactical Node, MAU Enhancement Node, Launcher Enhancement Node, or a Dimensional Tri-Plate. There's roughly a 50% chance the box will contain a Dimensional Tri-Plate (either Unstable or Stable), making regular guild expeditions a reliable supplemental source.

5. Defeating the Event Boss

Loot boxes obtained after defeating certain event bosses can also contain a Stable Dimensional Tri-Plate, giving players an additional limited-time way to acquire the guaranteed-boss version.

Final Tips for Using the Dimensional Tri-Plate Efficiently

• Always summon with a full party or in a populated area to beat the 15-minute time limit.
• Save up Unstable Dimensional Tri-Plates of the same type to craft a Stable version for guaranteed boss drops.
• Coordinate with your guild to combine multiple Tri-Plates in one session and maximize shared rewards.
• Target higher-difficulty zones like Crag and High Orbit if you're chasing MAU or launcher blueprints.
