Purgatory
About
Purgatory is a new extension of our custom instance difficulty system. Finishing an instance in purgatory difficulty will reward you with 
Purgatory Coin based on the instance, along with a 
Proof of Divinity . While in a party of more than 7, and the reward of Purgatory Coin has a base of more than 5, it will automatically add 1 more coin per member above 7.
You can access Purgatory via @go 48 or @go purgatory.
All instances have a Purgatory difficulty that apply the following changes to the instance, in order to make them more challenging:
- All mobs gain the new stats introduced in 4th job patch, along with RES and MRES.
- All mobs are subject to a global aura that increases their damage, HP, RES and MRES.
- Re-entry is NOT allowed.
- Tokens of Siegfried cannot be used,
Token of Purgatory takes its place which can be bought from Demi. - Special effects may trigger upon killing a monster.
- 16% of the damage a party member takes is shared screen-wide.
- Your flee is converted into avoidance.
- Mobs are immune to max HP drains and movement impairing effects.
- Any form of magic immunity is disabled
- Purgatory also suffers from the Fortessa Skill Balance
- Purgatory instance will not start if there is an offline player in your party, and alts cannot enter the instance.
Cooldown

Avoidance
To prevent players from simply dodging old monsters, Flee and Perfect Dodge are converted into a new stat: Avoidance. For each 1 point in Avoidance, you have a 1% chance of dodging an attack, similar to Perfect Dodge. You can calculate your Avoidance with the formula:
Avoidance = (Flee/100)*2 + (Perfect Dodge/10)*4
MvP Shield
In addition to increased stats, all MvP monsters inside instances spawn with a special shield, that will act similar to Imperial Guard's Guardian Shield skill. Normally, monsters under the effects of such shield skills would be unable to receive status effects such as Comet's Magic Intoxication debuff or Dark Claw's debuff, however, all these effects will apply normally to the MvP shield and increase your damage to the shield.
Monster Kill Special Effects
Power Up
As your party kills monsters, you will receive a special Power Up Buff. This buff will apply the following effects:
- +200% ATK
- Your SP will be drained by 1% every second. When sp is empty while sp drain is up, it will drain hp instead.
Killing more monsters will increase the duration of this buff.
Bombs and Darkness
As your party kills monsters, there's a random chance of one of your party members turning into a Bomb or a Balloon. After someone turns into either, after a few seconds they will deal damage to themselves and around themselves based on the target's HP:
- Bomb deals 30% of target's Max HP as damage. This damage will be INCREASED by 10% of the target's Max HP for each party member within 10 cells around the bomb.
- Darkness deals 120% of target's Max HP as damage. This damage will be DECREASED by 7% of the target's Max HP for each party member within a 5x5 cell around the balloon. Party members will be affected by the blind status while a person is affected by darkness.
Status Effects
- As you or your party kills monsters, there's a 15% chance that the one following status effects will be applied to party members ( 50% chance ):
