Dungeons

Entering and leaving

• Entering: walk into a dungeon entrance on the overworld. In the free trial, a dungeon in a locked land opens the unlock screen instead.
• When you enter: you start on Floor 1. The banner shows the level range and the number of floors. It is marked dangerous if the dungeon's minimum level is more than 6 above your fighting level.
• Leaving:
  • Floor 1's exit tile takes you back to the overworld.
  • On deeper floors, the exit takes you up one floor. You arrive beside that floor's way down.
• Going deeper: take the descent passage in the middle of the lair room at the far end of each floor except the last. Two guards stand in that room.
• Recall: works from underground. Gate Travel and Mark don't.

Floors

• Layout: each dungeon has 2–4 floors. Every floor of a given dungeon always has the same layout.
• Creatures and resources: placed fresh every time you arrive on a floor. Leaving a floor clears it.
• Spawn chances: each floor has its own creature list and resource list, with a creature density of 8% per tile.
• Safe area: there is a small safe area around where you arrive, with nothing in it.

Bosses

• The lair: the last floor holds the dungeon's boss in the lair room, with a hoard chest two tiles above it. The chest's level is the dungeon's maximum level, so its gear rolls 5 levels above that.
• Respawn: after a boss is killed it doesn't return for 10 minutes (600s of game time). A visit before then finds the lair quiet, with no boss and no chest.
• How bosses fight:
  • Their combat rating is 10 higher.
  • They leash at 6 tiles.
  • They stay Frozen for only half as long.
  • They never spawn as champions.
• Rewards:
  • Every helper with 3% of the damage gets full loot.
  • Dropped gear is always magic, and rolls high.
  • 25% unique chance, and the kill adds 10 to your pity counter.

Dying underground

• You don't leave a body in the depths. Your ghost and corpse appear at the dungeon's entrance on the overworld.
