2. Party leader talks to NPC - Only leader can create instance
3. Select difficulty - Choose based on party size/skill
4. Pay entry fee - Leader pays (can't be refunded)
5. Everyone enters - All party members are warped in
6. Start when ready - Leader talks to NPC inside to begin
7. Fight waves - MVPs spawn, difficulty increases each wave
8. Get healed - Automatic full heal between waves
9. Claim rewards - Leader collects after final wave
