Daevanion boards

The five boards

Every class has the same five boards:

Board	Opens at level	Nodes	Points to fill	Gold corner nodes (4 points each)
Nezekan	12	89	134	2× Combat Speed 1.5%, 2× Cooldown Reduction 1.5%
Zikel	20	89	134	2× Damage Boost 1.5%, 2× Damage Tolerance 1.5%
Vaizel	30	89	134	2× Critical Damage Boost 1.5%, 2× Critical Damage Tolerance 1.5%
Triniel	40	117	168	3× Multi-Hit Chance 1.5%, 3× Multi-Hit Resist 1.5%
Azphel (PvP)	45	153	232	PvP Damage Boost and PvP Damage Tolerance

• Azphel uses its own Battle points, earned from Abyss and PvP. It holds PvP stats plus Status Effect Chance and Resist.
• The client caps Daevanion points at 840, well above the 570 the PvE boards need, which leaves room for more boards.

Node types

Node	Cost	What it gives
Small stat (white)	1	Attack, Defense, Critical Hit, Critical Hit Resist, Max HP or Max MP
Passive skill (green)	2	+1 to a passive or stance (Assassin: Rear Smite, Assault Stance, Exploit Weakness, Apply Poison, Heightened Sixth Sense)
Active skill (blue)	3	+1 to an active skill. Each PvE board has 12, one per active skill
Corner (gold)	4	The board's special stat (table above)

• Every PvE board has the same 12 active skills, so each active skill gets +1 per board you fill.
• You start in the centre and unlock outward: a node needs an unlocked neighbour.
• Resetting a board costs Kinah.

What to take first

1. The skill nodes for your main skills, on every board you have.
2. The gold corner nodes. Krix Domi: "take the good corner nodes and look for good stats to get there."
3. Small stat nodes on the way, then anything left over.

Soulgrot's rule for the first weeks: get your main skills to level 12, then the passives you actually use, and leave the defensive nodes for last.

Society of Gaming (YouTube, 17 October 2026) puts the corners first instead: the damage corners only (Multi-Hit Chance on Triniel, Critical Damage Boost on Vaizel, PvP damage on Azphel), then blue skill nodes, then green passives, then the Attack Bonus +3 nodes, and the resistance corners last. Both orders end with the same board; corners first gives more combat power early, skills first more DPS.

Where points come from

Source	Points	How often
Green (regional) quests	1 each	Once
Sealed dungeons (your faction's world)	1-2 each (Fubgun: 2, Marcus: 1)	Once
Strongholds	Crystals and belt scrolls	Once
Shugo Festival shop	100 Shugo coins = 1 point, max 50	Hourly event, 2-3 keys a day
Nightmare shop	300 Nightmare coins = 1 point (about 600 coins per ticket)	2 tickets a day, cap 14
Abyss Empyrean Traces → Reshanta Monolith	36 Daevanion Crystal: Azphel, the Azphel (PvP) board's points (Monolith cap level 16)	Once (see Empyrean Traces)
Login event (until December)	5,000 Shugo + 5,000 Nightmare points, about 30-40 points (Fubgun)	Once
Abyss shop	10,000 Abyss Points = 1 point	Skip it; buy stigma shards instead

Update 2026-10-22: the Ariel board is on Global

NCSOFT's 21 Oct patch added the Ariel board to Global. Its points, Daevanion Crystal: Ariel, come only from Krao Cave and Draupnir Hard (item level 2,600): their Ariel Fragments morph 100 to 1 crystal (Substance Morph > Special > Daevanion), up to 30 per dungeon per character, so 60 points for now. Like the other boards, every point spent is +1 item level. Below 2,600 you can't fill it.
