What do I get if the BCNM battle is won?
Once all NMs are defeated, an Armory Crate will appear. Target and attack it to end the BCNM battle. Depending on how many party members you have, items will be available in the Treasure Pool to lot on. The rewards can either be equipment, magic spells, gems, guild supplies, or money.

I have an Orb and we’re at the right place, but we can’t enter!
If another party was ahead of you, and enters the Burning Circle (either mission or BCNM) you have to wait about 10 minutes until you can enter the field.
