The ancient castle above Daemonheim
Dungeoneering is a skill in which players explore complex dungeons that are located beneath the surface of
Gielinor. The main location that Dungeoneering takes place is within
Daemonheim, a vast multi-floor dungeon north of
Morytania.
By exploring the dungeons accessed via Dungeoneering, you will gain experience which in turn, allows you to delve deeper in Daemonheim, bringing you closer to the secrets found in its depths.
Reaching and exploring Daemonheim does not have any skill or quest requirements, and is available to both free players and members. Daemonheim's floors can be explored by parties of one to five people, and they can be as simple or complex as you wish them to be; you can face a dungeon almost purely of combat, perhaps, or a dungeon that tests every skill. You can play this minigame in 6 different complexity modes.
The walls of Daemonheim shift and warp, so the dungeon you raid will always be unique!
A dungeon raid consists of six stages, and this guide follows them chronologically.
NOTE - On a free server, if the average combat level of a team is 90 or above, each member of the team will suffer a 50% experience reduction. This is because dungeons are significantly less challenging on free servers as opposed to members-only servers. If the average combat level of the team is less than 90, there is no experience penalty.
Stage 1: Getting to Daemonheim
Daemonheim's location
You can make your way to Daemonheim by one of three methods: the first, and by far the safest, is by ferry. You can find the ferry waiting at a jetty, in the River Lum between Lumbridge and Al Kharid, or near Taverley.
The second method is by foot, and involves trekking through the Wilderness - hugely dangerous, thanks to the constant danger of being attacked by other players. You have been warned!
Once on the peninsula of Daemonheim, you will need to follow the light grey paths to the top, where the castle is situated.
The third method, also safe, providing you have a dungeoneering ring, is to teleport to Daemonheim using the ring.
Stage 2: Forming and Types of Raiding Parties
To begin a dungeon raid, you will need only one item: the ring of kinship. This can be gained from the dungeoneering tutor, on the east side of the castle entrance. He will also offer you Dungeoneering guidance, should you need it, and will replace your ring if you lose it.
No items, aside from the ring of kinship and the orb of oculus and pendants of skilling, are allowed inside Daemonheim; the Fremennik have set up a quarantine, of sorts, where no items can go in or out of the dungeons. To bank your items, visit the bank teller on the west side of the castle entrance.
With only a ring of kinship (and an orb of oculus, should you wish) in your inventory or worn inventory, you are ready to form a raiding party. There are two types of raiding parties: single or solo player. and group (consisting of between 2 - 5 players); and two methods of forming a party: manual or auto-grouping.
Single or solo player
The party interface
Starting a single-player raiding party couldn't be quicker or simpler. Left-click on the ring of kinship while it is in your inventory to bring up your party interface. Click on the button marked 'Form Party' and your name should appear in the list above the button.
You may now start raiding. Travel to a dungeon entrance, on the left, the right or straight ahead, as you enter the castle courtyard. Enter it, and you are ready to select your floor and complexity level, as described in Stage 3.
Group (2 - 5 players) - manually formed
The ring of kinship can be used to manually form a party. A maximum of five people can be in any one raiding party.
To set up a raiding party to which other players can be invited, left-click on the ring of kinship while it is in your inventory or worn inventory. This will bring up the party interface. On this interface you will find the 'Form Party' button; click it and your name will appear in a list above the button. This is the beginnings of your party, and you are now ready to add others to it. You have been allocated the role of 'party leader'.
As party leader, you are the sole person responsible for inviting players to your party. The most common method of doing so is right-clicking on a player within the Daemonheim castle and selecting 'Invite'. The invited player will receive a red invite within their chatbox, which they can click and accept or decline. You may also invite a player using the 'Invite player' button within the ring of kinship's party interface. Click this and you will be able to manually enter the name of any player you would like to join your party. The player you wish to invite must be within sight, in the Daemonheim castle grounds, and on the same world.
Up to four invites can be sent in this manner, and only the party leader may send them. As players accept invites, you will find that they are added to the list on your party interface (the one that opens when you click the ring of kinship). Once you have a number of players that you are happy with, travel to a dungeon entrance, immediately on the left or right as you enter the castle courtyard. You are now ready to select your floor and complexity level, as described in Stage 3: Choosing a Floor and Complexity Level.
If you have been invited to an existing party, you will find a red line of text in your chatbox. Click on this red line of text and you will be offered the opportunity to 'Accept', 'Decline' or 'Decline Forever'. It is worth banking your items before accepting an invite, so that the bank interface does not interfere with the party interface. By accepting the invitation, you will find your name and the names of your party members in the ring of kinship interface. You will start a raid as soon as the party leader enters the dungeon entrance - skip to Stage 3: Choosing a Floor and Complexity Level. If you 'Decline', a message will be sent to the party leader stating that you turned down this invite. If you 'Decline Forever', the party leader will not be able to send you an invite for what remains of your gaming session.
Group (2 - 5 players) - auto formed
The free-for-all room
Auto-grouping rooms are for players who want to quickly raid a multiplayer dungeon with minimal fuss and organisation. This is done by entering rooms that 'auto-group' you into parties according to your total skill level.
There are two types of auto-grouping rooms in Daemonheim: 'themed' rooms which have Dungeoneering floor requirements, and a 'free-for-all' room that has no Dungeoneering floor requirements at all. Themed rooms can be found in the castle courtyard, to the left and right of each staircase. A free-for-all room, which has no Dungeoneering floor requirements at all, can be found between the two staircases. It is worth entering the free-for-all room if you want a raid that is likely to test your abilities to their upmost.
The game attempts to form a party every 30 seconds, so it will not be too long before you are organised into a raiding party. If only a few of you are waiting for a game, you will be grouped into a party regardless of the floors you have access to or your total skill levels. If there are many of you waiting for a raid, the game will attempt to group you according to the floors you have unlocked, and will then group according to your total skill level. Note: If a few of you are waiting to be grouped in an autogrouping room, you can always manually organise a party rather than wait for the auto-grouping room to form you into one.
All players in your party must have unlocked the floor and complexity level of the dungeon you are about to face. As such, the floor and complexity level is always determined by the dungeon raider with the least experience of Daemonheim. For more information on floors and complexity levels, read Stage 3: Choosing a Floor and Complexity Level.
Once you have been organised into a party, you will find that you can bypass Stage 3: Choosing a Floor and Complexity Level - since you have been autogrouped into a suitable floor and complexity level - and can skip straight to Stage 4: The Starting Room. It may be advisable to read stage 3 anyway, to get an idea of what is meant by complexity level and floor.
Leaving and rejoining a party
Once inside the dungeons, no new players may join the party. If a single player then leaves the party or accidentally loses connection, they can rejoin the party as long as their party is still completing a raid. In this case, any items you were carrying will be dropped on the floor where you last stood, so you can return to pick them up, or your party can pick them up for you. If all players leave a raid, and no one returns to the dungeon for ten minutes, the progress will be lost and you will have to begin your raid again.
To rejoin a raid in progress, you need only to log back into the game. You will not be able to return to a dungeon that you left because of server downtime for a game update.
'Kicking' a player from a party
In those extreme moments when the party leader wishes to remove a player from the raiding party, a majority vote will need to be taken to see if the rest of the team agrees that the player should be removed. To instigate a vote, left-click on the ring of kinship and right-click the player's name, selecting 'Kick'. A message will then be sent to all players in the raiding party, asking them whether the player should be kicked or not. In the case of a majority, the player will be kicked from the party.
Stage 3: Choosing a Floor and Complexity Level
Having organised your party, you will be asked to select your floor and complexity level.
Dungeon 'floors'
As a rule, the deeper you go down into Daemonheim (floor 1 being near the surface, floor 2 being below that, all the way down to 60) the more powerful the creatures become. The power that resides at the bottom of Daemonheim both warps and distorts the creatures, making them potent and of a potentially higher combat level.
When you first start Dungeoneering, you will only have floor 1 available to you. You must play through a floor before you can access the next, and you can only access a floor if it is equal to half your Dungeoneering skill level (rounded down) or less. For example, if you want to access floor 17 of Daemonheim, you must have raided floor 16 of Daemonheim at least once, and you must have a Dungeoneering level of 34 or higher.
You will also notice that different floors have different 'themes', and each theme has different challenges and enemies to encounter. You start in the 'frozen' theme of Daemonheim, but who knows what other areas reside in the mysterious dungeons?
Dungeon 'complexity levels'
The complexity level of a dungeon determines how many of your skills and abilities will be tested when raiding it. For example, a dungeon with a complexity level of 1 will only test your combat skills (melee, Ranged, Magic, Prayer, Constitution), while a dungeon with a complexity level of 6 will test every single one of your skills. Choosing a lower complexity level will make the dungeon more simple and straight-forward to complete, but it will also lessen the amount of Dungeoneering XP you get at the end of a raid.
You will start your Dungeoneering 'career' with only complexity level 1 unlocked. To unlock the next complexity level, you will have to complete at least one dungeon of the complexity level that preceded it. So, to unlock level 2, you will need to have played at least one dungeon of complexity level 1.
You can click on the following complexity levels to find out more about the skills that are required to complete them:
The Floor and Complexity Level interfaces
The floor selection interface
The first interface you are confronted with is the floor selection interface. Here, the party leader can move the gold slider up and down to select which floor you wish to attempt. As mentioned previously, the floor determines the difficulty of the enemies you will face (relative to your party's current combat levels). You may only select floors that every single raider in your party has unlocked.
To find out which floor each player has unlocked, you can look at the 5 columns that run down the floor selection interface. These columns represent the adventurers in your raiding party, and each column is highlighted to show the deepest floor that each player has unlocked in Daemonheim. You may choose any dungeon floor that EVERY player in your party has unlocked.
NOTE - If you select a floor that someone in your party has raided previously (as shown by the ticks on the floor selection interface) then the XP that those players receive at the end of a dungeon may be reduced.
Once you are happy with your selection, confirm your choice in the bottom-right of the interface.
The complexity level interface
Next, a gold slider can be moved left and right to select your complexity level. Underneath this slider is a list of skills: these skills light up according to the complexity level, showing you, at-a-glance, which skills will be tested as you make your way through the increasing complexity levels.
You will also notice that, in the bottom of the table of skills, there is a '% XP Penalty'. This XP penalty represents the reduction to your Dungeoneering XP reward for this dungeon; so, if you are playing a dungeon on complexity level 1, you will find that the Dungeoneering XP you gain is reduced by 50%. This is to encourage raiders to test themselves at the higher complexity levels.
As long as you have chosen a floor and complexity level that everyone in your party has unlocked, you can click the 'Confirm' button in the bottom-right of the interface. Depending on your party size and the complexity level you have chosen, you may be given the option to change your floor size and difficulty level.
Floor size:
Once you have selected your complexity level and floor, you will be able to amend the size of your dungeon. The floor size can be small (up to 16 squares, 4 columns of 4 rooms each), medium (up to 32 squares, 4 columns of 8 rooms each) or large (up to 64 squares, 8 columns of 8 rooms each). Only parties of 3-5 players can select large dungeons.
Difficulty:
After selecting the floor size, you may receive the message 'How many people do you want to aim the dungeon for?" (this does not show for solo players). You now have a choice: do you want the dungeon to be designed for a party size that is smaller than the one you have currently? Although a dungeon designed for a smaller party will be easier to complete, it will reduce the amount of XP you receive at the end of a raid.
For a suggested difficulty, it is recommended that you select one that is slightly lower than the number of people in your raiding party. The difficulty assumes that everyone in your party will be contributing in combat; in all likelihood you will have one player using their skills to produce arrows or runes, for example. A raiding party may find a difficulty of 5:3 (five players: the combat suited to a party of three) makes for a more enjoyable raid, for example.
NOTE - the difficulty of the dungeon is ALWAYS based on the lowest skill and combat levels in your party. For example, a party of five playing a 5:3 difficulty dungeon will find that the skill challenges and creatures' combat levels are balanced according to the three players with the lowest skill or combat levels. If a high level player raids with a party of low-level players on a low difficulty dungeon, they may find themselves with an XP penalty of up to 60%. In this instance, a warning message will appear when choosing the difficulty.
Having finished customising your dungeon, you will then be ready for Stage 3: The Starting Room.
Stage 4: The Starting Room
The starting room
Every dungeon in Daemonheim, whether you are playing as a free-for-all party or on your own, will start in the starting room. No enemy is able to enter this room, so you should see it as a safe haven where you can organise yourselves into roles, manage your inventories, purchase items and turn your resources into valuable objects. It is also where you respawn if you die, and where you teleport to if you cast the Dungeon Home Teleport spell.
Items:
Your complexity level determines the items you start with in the dungeon:
- Complexity level 1 - Armour and weapons for all combat styles are in your inventory at the start of a dungeon.
- Complexity level 2 - Armour and weapons for all combat styles are in your inventory at the start of a dungeon.
- Complexity level 3 - Armour for all combat styles are in your inventory. A small selection of weapons are available from the table in the starting room
- Complexity level 4 - A small selection of armour and weapons are available from the table in the starting room
- Complexity level 5 & 6 - A small selection of armour and weapons are available from the table in the starting room
The items in your inventory differ according to complexity level, as the higher complexities will encourage you to find resources and make your own weapons and armour. For example, on complexity level 1 you will have no means of making armour or weapons, so they are given to you from the very start.
Tiers:
You will also find various items strewn across the tables of the starting room. These range from food, runes and arrows to fishing rods, weapons and armour, depending on complexity levels. You will find that the items have 'tiers', noted either in their name or in their examine text (if you right-click and 'Examine' the item). This gives you a good idea of the potency of a weapon, armour or fish; a tier 3 fish will heal more life points than a tier 2 fish, for example. These item tiers range from 1-10, but tier 11 items can be obtained as rewards by completing a dungeon. Tiers 6-11 are only available to RuneScape members.
At this point, it is worth organising yourself and your fellow raiders into roles, to make sure the equipment is shared equally and that you are well prepared for whatever challenges face you. It is recommended that, in larger parties, you have at least one ranger, melee warrior and mage, for example, and you may want to make someone a 'tank', healer or skiller. 'Tanking' involves putting yourself in a defensive stance, which will encourage any 'tankable' enemies to prefer fighting you in combat. Most large enemies are 'tankable'.
Smuggler:
No matter what the complexity, you will always find a smuggler in the starting room. This secretive character has been given the job of preparing raiders for the task ahead, but he has other uses that the Fremennik are largely unaware of. Firstly, he offers the service of identifying and giving hints about any item you find in Daemonheim; simply 'Use' the item on the smuggler to find out more. He will also offer information on any boss you are currently fighting, or challenge rooms you have unfinished; so, if you are having trouble, visit the smuggler to receive some pointers.
The smuggler will also offer to buy or sell items in Daemonheim for coins, as he has acquired wares from less successful adventurers. It is worthwhile to visit the smuggler for items, such as feathers, vials and rune essence, should you need them. The smuggler has no shop stock on complexity level 1, while his stock will increase with each complexity level.
Finally, the smuggler has been able to smuggle some unique items outside of the dungeons. Simply visit his contact, the reward trader, on the surface near the Fremennik camp, to buy these items using your dungeon tokens.
Additional Information:
Depending on your complexity level, you may also find that the starting room has a number of skill locations: a spinning wheel, furnace, runecrafting altar and summoning obelisk. These work identically to the ones you would find above ground in RuneScape, with only some very minor exceptions. Read the complexity level page of your current dungeon if you have any questions.
You will also find a group gatestone portal in the starting room and a group gatestone in your inventory (if you are the party leader). By travelling through the group gatestone portal, you can teleport to wherever the group gatestone has been dropped (or to the party leader in a Complexity 1,2,3 or 4 dungeon). This allows you to return to the farthest areas of the dungeon with little or no effort. You may also right-click the group gatestone portal to 'Replace' it for a photo booth, farming patch, cooking range, prayer altar and skillcape stand.
Stage 5: Raiding a Dungeon
The Basics
The most important thing to note is the aim of Dungeoneering. Your aim is to get to the final room of each dungeon, where the boss awaits, so you can defeat it and gain a batch of Dungeoneering XP. To navigate to the end of the dungeon, you will have to overcome a number of challenges in the random layout of rooms. Those challenges are all noted in categories below.
- Combat rooms
- Skill locations
- Keys and doors
- Challenge rooms
- Boss rooms
To make Daemonheim easier to navigate and your party easier to organise, there are a number of items and tools available to you.
Dungeoneering Tools
A dungeon map is available at all times, next to your minimap. Click on it and you will find a representation of the rooms you have explored and those you have not.
Your ring of kinship can also be clicked to view a great deal of information, including your current complexity level, floor and your party. It is possible to click on the name of a player in your party to see their inventory, or the levels of their skills.
On this party interface, you will also find a 'Guide Mode' and a 'Reset' button. The 'Reset' button is covered in Stage 6: Rewards and Binding and is not important for the moment. The 'Guide Mode' button, however, can be activated to show the critical path through a dungeon, giving you the exact route to follow. Rooms that are situated on the critical path will be highlighted on the dungeon map. Guide mode can only be activated or deactivated by the party leader, and activating it will reduce the amount of XP you receive for a dungeon. It may only be toggled outside of a dungeon.
The party interface also offers the ability for anyone to toggle their shared XP on and off before or during a raid: this is done by right-clicking on the 'XP' that appears after your name on the party interface (accessed by left-clicking on the ring of kinship). Shared XP is automatically 'on' when you first start dungeoneering. When 'on', you will receive a share of the XP whenever a member of your party performs a skill task that you could have done with your levels. When you perform a skill task that another member of your party could perform, they will receive a share of your XP too. Only players with shared XP 'on' can receive shared XP. However, your XP will be shared with people who have shared XP 'on', even if yours is "off"!
A Dungeon Home Teleport spell is available to you at all times, and can be found in your dungeon spellbook (Daemonheim has its very own magic spellbook. See Complexity level 1 for more information on these changes). Click it while outside of combat and you will be taken back to the starting room of your dungeon. This spell can be used as often as you like and has no rune cost.
The party leader will also start a dungeon with a group gatestone, an item which can be dropped and then teleported to via the group gatestone teleport portal in the starting room. Once dropped, any player may pick up and drop the group gatestone. If you have the appropriate magic level, you may also create a gatestone, a waypoint that you can teleport to, using the Create Gatestone spell.
Finally, the party leader can right-click any enemies in the dungeon and 'Mark' them. This highlights the creature and identifies them as the creature that everyone should focus their attacks on. This can be done from outside the room you are about to explore, should you wish to remain safe while making the decision.
Combat rooms:
The most common challenge faced in Daemonheim is combat. As with above-ground RuneScape, you will need to defeat these creatures using magic, melee or ranged. Unlike above-ground RuneScape, however, you will find that each creature drops far more items and equipment. If you are low on weaponry or food, it may be worth picking off some smaller creatures to get the items required to defeat the larger beasts.
Should you die in a dungeon, you will restart in the starting room with all of your items. You will also find a death added to your death total, which affects the XP reward you receive at the end of the dungeon. If you have a gatestone in your inventory, you will automatically drop it so you can teleport to it using your Gatestone Teleport spell. Click here for more information on the gatestone spells.
Skill locations:
Particularly on the later complexities, you will find skill locations like ranges, farming patches and furnaces. These work similarly to their above-ground counterparts, with some minor exceptions. It is advisable to read the Knowledge Base pages for any complexity level you are about to attempt for the first time, to get a good sense of what is being added in terms of skill activities.
Keys and doors:
leftKey and locked door
You will find locked doors blocking your path and keys strewn in certain rooms of your dungeon. A blocked door glows with one of eight different colours, and has one of eight different shapes floating in front of it. This should make it clear as to what key will open which door. A yellow door with a crescent shape floating in front of it will require a yellow crescent key, for example.
These keys can be found in any room around the dungeon, so keep an eye out for red dots on the minimap within each room you explore. When a key is found, a message will appear in the chat box indicating what key was found. You can see all keys your team currently has by viewing the HUD in the upper left corner.
On later complexities, you may encounter skill doors. These doors cannot be opened until you have performed a skill action on them. A door may require a player to use their Agility skill to jump up and pull a switch, for example. Each door will be openable by at least one member of your team, unless you find yourself before a door leading to a bonus room. These bonus rooms do not need to be explored to complete a dungeon, but you will gain a greater amount of Dungeoneering XP at the end of a raid for opening them.
Challenge rooms:
A dungeon isn't only about hacking your way to the end with a few doors to open on the way. Some rooms require you to stop and puzzle out a method of getting through to the next. There are a number of these challenge rooms, and they range from riddles to skill challenges to combat-based puzzles.
If you are having trouble in a challenge room, you may also visit the smuggler in the starting room, and he will offer his own brand of expertise to get you through.
Boss rooms:
Fighting a dungeon boss
One of the last rooms you will explore in a dungeon is the boss room, and these can be identified by the fact they have a dangerous creature lurking in them. They will have no doors leading further into the dungeon, and they will have one ladder leading into the floors below. Clicking this ladder once the boss has been defeated will initiate the 'end of dungeon timer', after which all party members will be awarded Dungeoneering XP and be carried to the next dungeon.
Felling the beast in this room is the only way to finish your current dungeon and get to the floors below, so you and your team will have to defeat it together. If you have trouble beating the boss, talk to the smuggler in the starting room and he will give you some handy pointers, as each boss will have a quirk that will make it harder to defeat or more potent in combat. If you don't want to kill the boss, you can use the "Evade-boss" route for 1/3rd of your final experience
Beating the boss leaves the room empty for you to click on the ladder to the level below. It may also leave you with a reward item in your inventory: you will be told if this is the case in your chatbox. These items are often more powerful than others you might find dropped in the dungeon, and, if you can use them, they may be worth binding - see Stage 6: Rewards and Binding.
Stage 6: Rewards and Binding
Rewards
After defeating a boss at the end of a dungeon, you may be lucky enough to find an item reward in your inventory (or on the floor, if your inventory is full). Each raider has a chance of receiving an item in this way, and the items can range from tier 1 to tier 11 (tier 1 to tier 5 if you are not a RuneScape member). Click here to see the various items you could win in this way. You may also find that your enemy dropped a book or journal. These elucidate the history of Daemonheim, and are automatically stored in your dungeoneering journal. You can view your dungeoneering journal at any time by talking to the Dungeoneering Tutor, on the right as you enter the Daemonheim castle.
Binding
Bound item setup
Before you exit the floor by travelling down the ladder in the boss room, it is worth 'binding' the more effective items in your inventory. By binding an item, you carry it over to the next dungeon (a bound item has a (b) after its name). This is useful as you will not keep ANY unbound items from one raid to another. So, if you have a particularly potent tier 11 item that you do not wish to lose, it is well worth binding it.
To bind an item, right-click on it in your inventory and select 'Bind'. Everyone can bind up to 10 items. These can be divided into up to three loadouts, one of which can be selected at the start of each dungeon by speaking to the Smuggler in the home room. A loadout equips those items, and adds the rest to your inventory. You can swap your loadout as many times as you like - just speak to the Smuggler again.
At level 1 Dungeoneering, you can include just one of your 10 pooled items in a loadout; at level 20 Dungeoneering you can include two items; at level 50 you can include three items; at level 90 you can include four items; and, finally, at 120 you can include five items in a loadout.
Once bound, an item will remain bound forever, until you right-click and 'Destroy' the item, drag the item onto the trashcan icon on your bound items interface, or sell it to the smuggler.
You may also bind one type of rune or arrow, and these do not count as one of your bound items. Ammunition binding is always available to you, and you can bind up to 125 runes or arrows of any one type, plus an additional 100 runes or arrows if you complete Salt in the Wound. The amount of ammo you can bind never changes in size.
The Rewards Screen
Once your items are bound and your party is ready, you can click on the ladder to exit Daemonheim or move on to the next complexity and depth. Before that, however, you will be presented with the rewards screen, a statistical summation of how well you did in the dungeon, and how much Dungeoneering XP you received.
If you and your party wish to skip through this stage quickly, you may right-click on the series of numbers in the top-right of the interface. Each number corresponds to a player in the party, and you can right-click your own number (but not the other players' numbers) to either leave the party or skip the calculations and move to the next floor of the dungeon. The party will skip to the next dungeon once all of the numbers are red (meaning that a player has asked to skip the calculations) or greyed out (a player has left the party).
The categories noted in the interface, pictured above, are as follows:
- Time - Shown in the top-left of the interface, this tells you how long it took to complete your dungeon.
- Floor - An amount of XP based on the floor you were raiding.
- Prestige - An amount of XP based on your prestige total.
- Base total - The base total is the lump sum of XP that you would gain if there were no modifiers affecting it. This total is the average of your floor and prestige totals.
- Dungeon size - This modifies your XP reward based on whether the dungeon was small, medium or large
- Bonus rooms - This modifies your XP reward based on how many rooms off the critical path you explored
- Difficulty - This modifies your XP reward based on how difficult your dungeon was (The first number is the number of raiders in your party, the second is how many raiders the dungeon was aimed at)
- Points mod - This modifies your XP reward based on how many creatures you left undefeated in the dungeons
- Complexity - This modifies your XP reward based on the complexity level of the dungeon
- Guide mode - This modifies your XP reward based on whether guide mode was activated
- Deaths - This modifies your XP reward based on how many deaths you accrued in the course of the dungeon
- Modifier - This is the total modification to your 'Base Total' value. It will increase and decrease as the modifiers are all calculated
- Total XP - The important one: this is the total Dungeoneering XP you have received after the modifiers have been applied
- Tokens - These tokens can be exchanged with the reward trader on the surface of Daemonheim. Tokens are calculated at the rate of 1 token for every 10 Dungeoneering XP
- Titles - These run vertically down the right-hand side of the interface. These are given to each raider according to their performance in the last dungeon
You may skip the calculations for the Dungeoneering rewards at any point by pressing the arrows in the top-right of the interface.
After roughly 20 seconds, the next dungeon will start, unless the party disbands or leaves the dungeon.
Tokens and Above Ground Rewards
Completing a dungeon gives you a number of tokens. The number of tokens you receive is directly relative to the Dungeoneering XP you received, so anything that increases your XP reward will also increase your token reward. The amount of tokens you receive at the conclusion of a dungeon is at a ratio of 10%. So if, for example, you receive 50,000 experience for completing a Dungeon you will recieve 5,000 tokens. The tokens can be taken to the rewards trader cowering on the surface of Daemonheim who is located south of the Daemonheim entrance, or can be used to 'Customise' your ring of kinship in Daemonheim. The trader offers equipment and items that can be used outside of Daemonheim in exchange for your hard-earned tokens. You can find the reward trader to the south of the Daemonheim castle.
For a list of the items that can be purchased from the rewards trader in this way, click here. Not all of the above ground rewards are available to free players.
