Nest Key (Old Update)

Nests are special dungeon that cannot be entered by other beings without permission, though this can be entered using nest pass. Nest Pass can be obtained from dimensional rabbit (to access the Abyss version). Rare Passes are needed to enter the Hell versions and can only be obtained from the Reward Chest in the Abyss versions of the finishing the dungeons.

Every Nest can only be entered a certain number of times a week, recorded by the Nest list in the 'Dungeon' tab to the left of the Social Panel (opened with the 'O' key). All Nests can be accessed from the portal chamber in North-west Saint's Haven (Portal time and space).

There are many rewards that can be obtained from Nests:
-Materials that are needed to craft that Boss's signature equipment set (each class has his or her own set), which has tremendous set bonuses for its level.
-One or more pieces of 'regular' Epic equipment. All equipment that drops in a Nest is furthermore already sealed and ready for trade.
-Epic Powders/Extracts/Crystals
-Special Skill Crests that allow a player to use one of the Boss's attacks as an Active skill.

Friendship

So here it is i will explain you about Friendship Guide in Dragon Nest

The Friendship system can be used to obtain discounts from certain NPCs. Press [Y] in game will open up the Friendship interface. Items used to befriend NPCs can be found in dungeons and can also be obtained from Dimensional Rabbit

How to be friend with NPCs :

To be able to be friend an NPC, you must first meet certain criteria, listed in the Friendship interface. For example, you may have to finish a quest, have an achievement, or reach a certain level.
Click here to see the quests

In order to increase Fondness points with an NPC, you may either give them gifts or talk to them,sometimes they will give you a dialogue with choices that you may select.

While if you choose a good option, the NPC will gain fondness. (i suggest you pick the nice answer like compliments or something nice, they love it hahaha ^_^) however, as if you chose the wrong option, the NPC's fondness will not increase

You will get 10 achievement point for each 30% of fondness
It means you will get 10 for reaching 30% fondness, 60% and 90% fondness
so total will be 30 achievement points when you reach 90% fondness
For some NPC, you can get album collection when you reach 60%, for example : Irene
Plus! You can get a Title from reaching 90% :D

Occasionally when gifting an NPC, you may receive mail from them. This mail will include a dialogue from the NPC and some items. Items that can be received include:
Rough or Ordinary Agate
Rough or Ordinary Alteum
Average Fragment
Intermediate Fragment
Octagonal Water

Guild

Well, i'm sure everybody knows about guild so i won't explain it long.
Guild at Dragon Nest has points. Guild Points are required to advance a guild's level and are through running dungeons -- they are gained through the completion of both dungeons and commissions, and the abp/ftg of a dungeon is equivalent to the guild points gained upon completion of that dungeon. The amount of guild points that a guild has may be checked at Guild Master NPC.

Guild Master at Saint Haven

Joining guild also means you can get buff from the guild, for example: exp buff and guild costume to increase exp up to 10%
