Introduction
This guide aims to provide a low-investment solution for luring / tanking in Poring Village Unreal (PVU).
Once you are able to lure / tank the porings in PVU, the instance mainly comes down to having enough DPS to clear the poring mobs quickly.
What is Poring Village Unreal?
- Poring Village Unreal (PVU) is a custom endgame version of the Poring Village instance. Completing the Unreal version rewards 2x
Special Instance Coin (50209) - The mechanics of the instance are mostly the same as the normal version, except the porings are heavily buffed in terms of HP, Damage Reduction, and Attack.
- The instance itself has no cooldown (repeatable), however the reward can be collected only once per day.
How it works
- All porings in PVU use normal physical attacks or physical skills (such as Fire Attack, Poison Attack, Water Attack, etc.)
- All porings have very high damage, movement speed, and attack speed, are non-aggressive and are looters.
- The instance limits maximum resistance from a single source to a maximum of 90%.
- Porings usually do not change target from the lurer (very sticky), unless their aggro is reset by effects such as Stun, Blind, Extreme Vacuum, etc.
- The goal is to reach 100 perfect dodge (PD) so that all normal physical attacks can be evaded.
- Damage from physical skills cannot be evaded by perfect dodge, so we use a combination of Formless resist (45%), Small resist (66%), DEF (~1000+), and RES (~500+) to reduce that damage.
- The instance debuffs you with , so we need 105 PD to achieve 100 PD after stats down inside the instance.
- Biolo is generally the best lurer for PVU because it can use
Illusion Doping to gain aggro from monsters in a large AOE, but this gear build can be used by any class - (Unverified) Removing Battle Log & Party Member Battle Log (Damage numbers that show up in chat), seems to help with reducing lag when fighting big mobs

Note: Heal-over-time potions such as
Small Life Potion (14534) ,

Mysterious Life Potion (12832) - Use if you don't have a Devo IG or Cardi in the party
Giant Petite Tail Noodle (50122) - Requires cooking; only use if you have no other way to reach 100 PD (ideally not needed)

Play Style
As a lurer, here are the key priorities / things to keep in mind
- Homunculus skills
Granitic Armor,
Pain Killer can be used to reduce the incoming damage (though not mandatory). - As the lurer, make sure to run ahead of party members to gain aggro from monsters.
- The size of the mob you can pull depends on your party composition. Here is a quick rule of thumb:
- Solo (no IG Devo or Cardi) - 10 to 11 porings at a time
- IG Devo (with Rebound Shield) and no Cardi - ~20 porings at a time
- IG Devo + Cardi - ~25-30+ porings at a time (you are almost immortal at this point)
- Porings usually do not change target from the lurer (very sticky), unless their aggro is reset by effects such as Stun, Blind, Extreme Vacuum, etc.
- This also means the DPS must wait for monsters to aggro onto the lurer before starting DPS
- Porings move very fast and are looters.
- If there are nearby un-aggro porings while DPS is attacking lured mobs, there is a chance they may wander into the DPS AOE and aggro onto DPS. The easiest way to avoid this is to move away from un-aggro monsters before starting DPS.
- All party members must have @autoloot 100. Otherwise, when a poring dies and drops loot, nearby un-aggro porings may move into DPS AOE to loot items and accidentally aggro onto DPS.
- All porings are Small and Formless. DPS can optimize for this to maximize damage.
- The small porings are Fire, Water, and Wind. Using Poison element increases damage against all small porings.
