Questions

How many bosses are in Draupnir?

Three: Predator Saraswati and Phantasmal Lakshmi, then Transcendent Bakarma. Exploration needs all three. In Conquest the two mid-bosses are optional, but the cube pays only for the bosses you killed.

What item level do you need for Draupnir?

On the global servers you need level 45 and item level 700 for Exploration and Conquest Normal, and 2,600 for Conquest Hard. Korean guides list different numbers.

How do you beat Bakarma's wave check?

Run straight at him, jump each wave a beat early, and inside the red ring around him use your highest-stagger skills together. If his stagger bar isn't empty when the 18-second cast ends, the party dies.

Is there a Hard mode for Draupnir on global?

Yes, since 21 October 2026. It needs item level 2,600, the final boss has a 4-minute Frenzy timer, and each player has 3 revives for that fight.

What does Draupnir drop?

The Bakarma armour set (Unique grade, from Bakarma), Anguish weapons and armour, Saraswati Earrings and Lakshmi Necklace from the mid-bosses, and Kinah. In Conquest you can pick a Bakarma piece every 14 cube claims.
