## Head to Odin's Past. Slower than Abyss 4 but provides some zeny farming potential due to the presence of https://muhro.eu/?module=item&action=view&id=23986'''Odin's Relics''' which vends for 90K while you get to 240 minimum.

## Head to Einbech dungeon 3. This offers similar farm speed to Odin's Past and is very easy, but doesn't have much raw zeny. Instead, you try to farm Dynite here for your Flush Claw Sword later, or sell the Dynites for money.
## Head to Abyss 4. This offers a '''faster leveling progression''' to 250 but you do not earn much zenny along the way. Mobs are stronger than Odin's past so you should only access this with https://muhro.eu/flux/data/skills/icons/5211.png'''Madness Crusher''' maxed.

Yordus Executor Card has 16 CRIT if your armor is +11, and 10CRIT if its not 11. It is a lot cheaper than anger nine tail card though, so you can consider this if you have a +11 armor or don't need that extra 5 CRIT.

=== 4. Full End-Game Gear (Nebula and Hall of Life Equipment) ===
It may sound counter-intuitive that I showcase the full end game equipment before the budget end game option, but this way you can try to measure costs and then decide if you want to take the detour into the budget options later. It'll also help that I more or less will tell you the power level difference between a full end game VS budget end-game equipment (well, without MVPs. If you can afford MVPs, go straight into full end-game!).  
I am showcasing the full end game setup first, so you can see how it's like. To be fair, most likely you will take a detour for some equipment into budget options to get more power in between.  


For a smooth progression, you may follow my sequence of gear priority:

There are 2 two ways to setup an End-game CRIT DK. The difference is in the '''Headgear+ Weapon.''' Some of the more hardcore players may go for both options, but understandably due to budget constraints, most can only go for 1.
 
The options are:
 
'''i. Yorscalp Crown of Execution + Flush Claw Sword with a Tris Card.'''
[[File:Imagedkkk.png|none|frame|Most damage for Bossing]]
'''ii. Time Dimensions Rune Crown + Dimensions Dragon Sword'''[[File:Full end game MVP.png|none|frame|Glade boots is only BIS if the element bonus is included. Otherwise,  Yorscalp Boots is the new Best in Slot (BIS).]]'''iii. How to Select which set to get:'''
 
If your Dragon Knight is purely for bossing and you can afford to eventually make a +15 Yorscalp Crown with '''Tris Card''', go straight to https://muhro.eu/data/items/icons/400723.png Yorscalp Crown of Execution. This will deal a lot more damage on your https://muhro.eu/flux/data/skills/icons/5213.png '''Storm Slash - a Single Target move.''' Your Focus is on difficult instances like [[Constellation Tower]] and [[Final Battle]].
 
However, if you are pushing your CRIT DK for mobbing and general field farming, you might want to settle on the Time dimension set for the -0.2sec CD on  https://muhro.eu/flux/data/skills/icons/5208.png '''Hack and Slasher''' to push AOE damage into the realms suitable for Biosphere [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth|Depths 1]] and [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2|Depths 2]].
 
On the choice of weapon, as long as you intend to use https://muhro.eu/flux/data/skills/icons/5208.png '''Hack and Slasher''', '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/600054.png''' '''Dimensions Dragon Sword''' is a must keep for the bonus damage. Add https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/600031.png '''Flush Claw Sword''' if you are going Yorscalp Crown of Execution for bossing. The decision is more on your headgear option rather than the weapon actually!

=== 5. Budget End Gear Selection ===
=== 5. Budget Gear Section: ===
Most of the stuff above is relevant except for 2 decision points:
These are additional gears you can consider to tide you through your farming to the end game equipment above. '''The goal is to not overspend on these while gaining additional power for farming End-game equipment.'''
# Fully grading and enchanting your Time Dimension Crown and +12A glade rune boots '''VS''' acquiring https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/400374.png '''Good and Evil Set''' https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/470211.png +  https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/600031.png '''Flush Claw Sword'''  (approx 3B vs <1B for GNE set+flushclaw)
# HOL Set with nebula suit (4 expensive piece of gear) '''VS''' Varmundt D1 set with a +12A Pirate captain's coat

==== 5B. Discussion on whether you should consider budget option (for 1 and 2) ====
==== 5B. Gear details of budget End-game (revert back to 125LUK stat if need more CRIT with galensis) ====
 
===== 1. For TD set VS GNE+ flush claw (short answer is NO if you want to main crit DK) =====
With recent updates in MUHRO, both https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/600031.png '''Flush claw Sword''' and https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/400374.png '''Good and Evil set''' https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/470211.png have gotten refinement hammers that guarantees upgrades cheaply. As such, it costs around only <1B at time of writing in estimated costs to get a full enchanted +12A flush claw sword and fully enchanted +12A set of Good and Evil DK crown and boots.
 
This is much cheaper than the estimated ~3B cost to get your TD crown to +12A with Acute5Luk3 and then getting a +12A glade rune boots. Moreover, from my testing, GNE set+ flush claw beats TD set up to '''Acute4luk3, without considering the enchant on the dragon sword'''. However, if we include the dragon sword enchant for certain bosses, TD set always wins. Moreover, you need TD set to get -0.2sec CD from '''Hack and Slasher''' to use it as a farming tool.
 
As such, i don't recommend taking the detour to GNE+ flush claw '''''unless you just want a budget instance killer'''''.
 
===== 2. For Hall of Life set directly VS getting Varmundt Equipment first ( Flame Earth Rune Armor + Venom Rings + 12APCC OR Flame Rune Manteau) =====
The answer is '''NO if you have to build and enchant those Varmundt gears yourself'''. They do not have any refine hammers so you still need to burn equal amounts of https://muhro.eu/data/items/icons/6635.png '''Blacksmith's blessings''' to get your equipment to +12A, and enchanting them still requires you to do quite a bit of work. I would rather work on my Nebula set.
 
HOWEVER, since this is old Best-in-slot (BIS) gears before HOL equipment came, they are often sold on the market by players switching out. '''If you can find a good deal, definitely consider it if you do not have any equipment yet'''. As of writing, there are still some great deals imo for +12A Flame Earth Rune armor and venom rings, then you'd only need PCC and you can already beat almost all instances
 
Comparison:
 
* By my calculation, the DPS from a varmundt set (d1 armor, 2 rings with 2 race enchant, pcc) is equivalent to a
** complete +12A NebCreative Suit full enchant
** Full creative signet sharp10luck5
** Winter Signet with Token
** un-enchanted Circulation winter garment +12A
* The cost for the HOL gear to that point would already exceed 4B~ +/- at this stage. If you can find a full D1 set around ~1.5B, it's actually quite worth as '''this is already enough power to defeat Betelgeuse 20stars''' at floor 75 as a solo CRIT DK (with cardi buff). '''Cost breakdown:'''
** Flame Earth 12A 600M
** PCC 12A 500M
** Venom Magic ring dragon enchant 250M
** Venom Rune ring dragon enchant 250M
* However, at full enchants, '''HOL set has more than double the power of D1 set''' at more than 5~6 times the cost, but it's worth it in the end.
 
'''If there's no such bargains to be found, then skip Varmundt D1 set and slowly build your nebula + Hall of Life equipment set.'''

Any of these 3 will work. They serve to give you more CRIT and CRIT% damage before your costly Time Dimension Rune crown/Yorscalp Crown is completed with enchants and 12A.
 
Recommended if you need more power to do mid/hard instances early with a https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/600031.png '''Flush Claw Sword''' as your primary income rather than field-farming.
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Dragon Sword does not have any Storm Slash bonus without Time Dimension Rune Crown. So if you pick a headgear here, definitely get '''Flush Claw Sword''' for Bossing*
