Hi! I have tried to put together as much of the information as I can - hopefully it will be of use to you!
PPVU June 2023 saw the introduction of a new instance on Arkadia - Smuggler Genetics laboratory. This is located on Arkadia moon and there is an entry requirement as well as cost to enter. There is no tax, and the instance can be entered solo ( shared public instance) or in team. There are 5 levels to choose from and there are upgradeable plates in the loot.
Location - 121, 112.
The first clues to the entrance are located in the Ark moon smuggler HQ - this map has been on the wall for years, if you over lay it with the moon map, it points to a section in the "concrete" tunnel.
From the map you will see the entrance to the concrete tunnel, and I have also circled the alternative entrance to the instance tunnels via the rock skull at the end of the GMC valley. Once inside the contrete tunnel you will find the smuggler logo, on the wall, opposite that there is a lever which opens the door to the instance tunnels. Run along that and you will come to what looks like an oompa village, there are 3 tunnels. The one you came along, the one from the rock skull entry and the one that leads to the instance. When there you will see a smuggler named Kayla.
Entry requirements -
Kayla asks you for a pure particle sample MK4. This is a crafted item. You can purchase this and enter without having done any of the missions. It is consumed upon entry, you do not need more than one.
To start the crafting mission you will want to talk to the smuggler NPC Located on the moon ( gamma tp) , planet ( celetse quarry) and underground ( main tp)
You begin by completing daily missions to gain insignia. The insignia can then be traded to the NPC for the starter blue prints. Further down the chain, the blue prints come from other crafting loot and are not given to you by the npc or gained along the mission chain.
For the dailies you can choose 3 options, mining crafting and hunting. For hunting you can choose 3 levels. Each gives the amount of insignia for the level ( ie 3 gives 3). You can do moon, planet and UG, so a total of 9 for hunting on level 3 per day.
There are 12 stages to the mission, stage 10 is to get the mk4.
( Thank you Nanashana for this image, and GZ for being the first in! )
Instance levels and cost -
There are 5 levels, each with higher maturity mobs than the previous. The cost is 5 ped tt in arkoins if you are a smuggler, or one heavy duty particle ( crafted) if you are not. You initially get a 5 hour pass, which is increased up to a maximum of 12 hours via the mission "entrance pass rank" through levels 1-14. Each instance will only last 5 hours, but you only need to pay for your pass. You do not need to pay to enter an instance someone has already started. The timer on nyour pass stops when you exit.
Inside there are 2 main rooms with mobs, 2 boss rooms, 2 revives.
Bosses spawn after a certain amount of kills (boss1), and over time (boss 2 - 30 mins). Bosses can also spawn on the glowing circles on the floor in the main rooms. The light above the corridors turns from green to red when a boss is spawned, you can also see the red dot on your radar. The aim is to loot plates and blood samples.
(super good map so you dont get lost)
Mobs -
The mobs have no agro, the damage types are 50% cold, 25% cut, 25% stab ( thanks Drakill!). The bosses are a larger version. The respawn is fast.
Plate stats and upgrade components -
( I will re order these in a moment)
