Why an old guide can disagree with your client
Later regional updates changed this lineup. Season 3 removed the specific Raid category, and Chapter 1 replaced Expedition and Transcendence entry tickets with Odyle Energy rewards. A January guide can therefore describe a system accurately for its date while giving the wrong instructions for a later patch.
When reading an old guide, identify its service, publication date and mode. Then check the latest relevant update and your current entry panel before following an instruction about party size, tickets, stages or rewards.

Where to go next
For regional dungeon names, use the catalog and its original sources. For global launch PvE, use the global dungeon and Transcendence pages; a shared mode name does not establish identical dungeons or reward rules.
