Aion 2 dungeons

Entry item level, Normal against Hard and the rewards that move an account’s value, for every instanced dungeon on the global servers. Numbers marked NC come from NC’s patch notes; numbers marked Community come from community guides, because NC publishes no entry table for global. Where nobody has a verified number, we say so.
