Elite Dungeons

Elite Dungeons are a set of dungeons that function similar to Raids. The first elite dungeon, Temple of Aminishi, was released on 25 June 2018 as part of a set of three dungeons with the same narrative. Any other dungeons will be separate from each other. The gameplay within the dungeons are similar to Raids, although with smaller group sizes, a solo option and a story mode option. Story mode reduces the damage enemies deal by 66%, as well as their life points by 50%, but yields no rewards, does not provide killcount and only provides an increased drop rate for lore books.

The enemies of these dungeons are significantly different compared to other common mobs in Gielinor; when an enemy spots a player, all other enemies in the vicinity will turn hostile and attack the team. Most enemies either use abilities (like Prifddinas elves) or have special traits.

There are mini-bosses in each dungeon. Each mini-boss rewards 5000 dungeoneering reward tokens. In these dungeons there is not a lockout period themselves but lockout content like bonus chests similar to Troll Invasion and Rush of Blood.

Rewards include Dungeoneering experience and tokens, and weapon upgrades. The tier of these rewards range from tier 82 to tier 92 and everything in between, in addition to a looting system similar to the Sophanem Slayer Dungeon reward chest that collects drops.

The final boss of each elite dungeon can be assigned as a potential Soul Reaper assignment.

Death in Elite Dungeons is unsafe. Players can quickly return to the last checkpoint in the dungeon should they die by using a "teleport" option on the reward chests. Players can teleport out of the dungeons at any time if needed, and dungeons hold until the party leader sets up a new dungeon.

Temple of Aminishi
The Temple of Aminishi is the first elite dungeon, released on 25 June 2018. It features 3 bosses: The Sanctum Guardian, Masuta the Ascended, and Seiryu the Azure Serpent. The dungeon is inside the Temple of Aminishi which is located on the island of Aminishi and only requires completion of Impressing the Locals to access. The dungeon can be accessed via a boat from Port Sarim.

Rewards from the dungeon include fishy treat, ancient scales (components to create tier 92 elite sirenic armour), onyx dust, Invention blueprints for an untradeable form of magic notepaper, and tier 88 upgrades for player-owned port weaponry. Cosmetics are also available including a Sakadagami outfit.

Dragonkin Laboratory
The Dragonkin Laboratory is the second elite dungeon, released on 13 August 2018. To access the laboratory at least one completion of the Temple of Aminishi elite dungeon is required. Similar to the first elite dungeon, it features multiple bosses; Astellarn, the First Celestial, Verak Lith and the Black Stone Dragon. The laboratory is located in the ruins south-east of the Rogues' Castle, though it is possible to use the grouping system to teleport directly to the dungeon and thus avoid travelling though the wilderness itself. Rewards include components to create tier 92 tectonic armour, along with "mutating" upgrades for Fury, Flurry, and Barge. Unlike the the Temple of Aminishi, which is divided into multiple sections, the laboratory is contained within one full map.

Enemies in the dungeon include spiders, lava strykewyrms, black, gemstone and celestial dragons. Magma golems are unique to the dungeon.

Third elite dungeon
The third elite dungeon is tied to the Pieces of Hate quest; however, it is not a requirement to access the dungeon, and completing the quest only adds additional dialogue. It is unknown what unique rewards will be obtained from this dungeon, as the component to create tier 92 body armour has been released earlier due to player feedback. The dungeon's release date was originally supposed to be in December 2018 but has since been pushed further to an unknown date.
