As such, Mirror Dungeon weekly bonus counts and expedition in progress will reset when the update is complete on 12. You will not be able to claim rewards for expedition from before 10 AM on June 29th once the reset takes place, so please make sure to claim the rewards before the maintenance

Entry Cost and Reward Reception

In accordance with these changes, daily free entries and simulations for Mirror Dungeons will be removed once Mirror Dungeon #2 is added.

Changes to Clear Rewards

Aims

• In Mirror Dungeons, you can earn pass XP based on the number of floors and nodes reached.
  Each expedition to Mirror Dungeon #2 is expected to be longer than an expedition to Mirror Dungeon #1.
• We determined that the lengthening of playtime for repetitive contents will come off as burdensome to many players.
• As such, even if you only clear up to floor 3 of Mirror Dungeon #2 you will still be able to obtain 80% of Pass XP and 100% of Lunancy compared to the rewards for clearing floor 5.

Below is a table of rewards for clearing each Mirror Dungeon.
