Gears that are new in this section are the [[Alice_Twisted_Madness#Gear|Alice gears]] {{#item:460020}}, {{#item:410233}}, and {{#item:420213}}. The Mad Bunny is sought for the utility that it gives. It gives more ASPD and ACD plus 10% resistance against all element. Damage-wise, it didn't perform significantly better than {{#item:460040}} in my tests, but having more utility is nice to those who prefer it over damage. On the other hand, the middle and lower headgears Gambler's Seal and Ace of Spades are your next new upgrade in those slots. They were upgraded last because they give little improvement in damage as compared to the costs of crafting them and your other core gears.

If you're one of those people who joined the bandwagon and only played EM because of the autocast feature that the Dimensions set gives, well this is now the part (or earlier before now) where you should have a {{#item:400536}} to pair with one of your books. To [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2#Time_Dimensions_Rune_Crowns|craft]] one, you'll need to have access first to Depth Abyss 2. You will need 2,000 Reputation pts. from [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]] to access this dungeon. More pieces of information regarding the enchanting process on this [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2#Normal_Enchants|page]]. Put as much attention as you can on the Dimensions Rune Crown and Dimensions Book and refine them to +15 if you can because besides allowing you the ability to autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #006400 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''', these two will also give you Elemental Buster skill modifier. At +15 for both pieces of equipment, it'll be a total of '''60% Elemental Buster skill modifier'''! No other classes besides EM and only EM gets the privilege and the prestige of autocasting their ultimate and on top of that gets skill modifier for it, so make sure to capitalize on that.

Then lastly, you can upgrade your armor to either {{#item:450173}} or {{#item:450284}} and the endless debate whether to stick to Nebula or Engraved still remains to this day simply because Nebula is a future-proof BiS gear that will complement the '''Hall of Life''' ('''HoL''') gears. This is also the reason why people started investing on a {{#item:490136}} as it'll be part of the '''HoL''' series. It recently had just gotten its 2nd enchant {{#item:313038}} in anticipation for HoL.
 
On the other hand, Soul Robe for the majority still outperforms Nebula since it gives +15% increased damage against bosses while Nebula does not. However, when you already have too much boss modifier, Nebula starts to perform better according to my tests. A Soul Purification Robe, the [[Rune Tablet System#Tablets|Demigod Rune Tablet]], {{#item:300472}}, 2 Varmundt Rings with {{#icon:311943}}{{#linkitem:311943|Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type)}} enchant, {{#item:460040}} with {{#icon:312095}}{{#linkitem:312095|Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence)}} enchant, and a {{#item:9134}} would give over '''163% Boss modifier''' and at that point you're experiencing diminishing returns, which is why Nebula starts performing better. If you want to know more about diminishing returns, Choi has explained it in-depth in his [[Choi%27s_Guide_To_Magic#Damage_Calculations_and_Diminishing_Returns|Guide to Magic]].

Endgame's Part II, aka Absolute Endgame, will be your very last stage of gear progression (<s> no, really, it's costumes</s>). This is the part where all your gears <u>has to be refined to +15</u> to reap the full effects and benefits of your cards and enchants. This is also the part where equipment that will cost you more than 10 billion zeny will be bought and upgraded last. Farming [[Villa of Deception]] to get both {{#item:300228}} and {{#item:300227}} to complete your [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Rune_Tablet|Demigod Rune Tablet]] and conquering [[Tower of Trials]] to obtain the currency {{#item:50209}} to buy yourself the [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Shadow_Gears_2|Skill Master Shadow Gears]] will all be part of this last stage. In other words, this is the stage of min-maxing everything until you wait again for the next big update to come to the server.

The only brand new equipment that got added to this part is the overly expensive {{#item:470337}}. This boots is part of the [[Chapter 1]] content, and you will need to farm two new dungeons, namely [[Chapter 1#Fields/Monsters|Encroached Geffenia]] and [[Chapter 1#Fields/Monsters|Ruined Valkyrie Realm]], and an instance called [[Recreated Dark Whisper]]. In '''Encroached Geffenia''', monsters here will drop {{#item:1001998}} while monsters at '''Ruined Valkyrie Realm''' will drop {{#item:1002012}}. These two items are needed to craft and enchant your Dimension World Shoes. What's good in these dungeons is that they benefit with the '''party loot drop system''' exclusive to the server. This means that each loot is rolled individually per member and all members will get what the other person is looting which is why partying up is highly advisable in these dungeons. More mobs killed and ground covered in a party mean more drops so enjoy!

On the other hand, the '''Recreated Dark Whisper''', after a successful clear, will reward you with the {{#item:1001972}}. This currency is used to exchange items to '''NPC Root Gold Exchanger''' {{#navi:ygg_fruit|168|124}} such as {{#item:1002007}}, {{#item:1002008}}, {{#item:1002009}}, and {{#item:1002010}} which will be all needed to upgrade your boots. The NPC will also exchange these gold coins to {{#item:1001996}} which can be used to get an hour buff that will let you enter and farm the two (2) aforementioned Chapter 1 dungeons. If you think and feel farming and completing our Hall of Life equipment is already grindy to the max, you will probably lose all hope and scratch the back of your head out of frustration because this piece of equipment is undeniably costly to craft and fully enchant. But my best advise for you is to take things slowly, do not rush everything, and just progress on your own pace. This content is meant to be completed within a year anyway, and not within a span of a month. Bask in the joy of being in endgame, and do not forget to rest from time to time so as to avoid burning out.
