Dungeoneering

(F2P) (P2P).

The Dungeoneering skill consists of exploring the dungeons of Demon Halls (now called Daemonheim), fighting monsters and bosses, and using RuneScape skills to solve puzzles and survive its depths. It was released in RuneScape on 12 April 2010 and is open to both free players and members. Dungeoneering takes place underneath an old castle named Daemonheim, which currently contains a dungeon with 60 underground floors in five different themes: Frozen, Abandoned I, Furnished, Abandoned II, Occult, and Warped (the bosses from Abandoned I may appear in the Abandoned II floor set). Within these halls, players explore and use all other pre-existing skills to clear each floor, where this involves finding keys, fighting monsters, and solving puzzles. Unlike other skills that are trained alone, players can cooperate together to train inside the halls in groups of up to five people. Additionally, players may earn a small amount of experience in other skills by accomplishing various skill-related tasks.

The skill is trained entirely within the dungeons of Daemonheim (except XP gained from extra sources, such as Tears of Guthix, or XP lamps), which separates the skill's training from the rest of Gielinor. However, you can earn some experience outside Daemonheim through exploring the various Resource Dungeons for the first time or by doing the only quest which gives Dungeoneering XP at present (which is A Clockwork Syringe). No items created or found within Daemonheim can be removed from the dungeon; likewise, no items found or created on Gielinor can be taken into Daemonheim, with the exceptions of the Ring of kinship and the Orb of Oculus. Training Dungeoneering is heavily dependent on the other skills trained outside of Daemonheim. The items and skilling materials used within Daemonheim are all different and the skill is designed to be group-oriented rather than being individual-oriented, although it is possible and widespread for players to train by themselves.

Players can train Dungeoneering past level 99 all the way to level 120, at which point players will have over 104 million experience. This new maximum level, which is only applied to Dungeoneering, is called "True Skill Mastery".

Players on a free-to-play world who have achieved a combat level of 90 or above will receive 50% less experience than players who have not yet achieved combat level 90 or above. Players are given this handicap because they will find it easier to go through the dungeon than the majority of other free-to-play players.

Development history
On 19 July 2010, the skill received a massive upgrade to include, amongst other things, the ability to use Dungeoneering outside of Daemonheim to unlock new dungeons, and the ability to use Construction to build many useful things around the entrance room, such as farming patches and ranges.

On 19 August 2010, the members-only Occult floors were released having Dungeoneering requirements from 71 up to and including 93, and making the total floor count 47. Five new rewards were also added: the Scroll of Efficiency, the Magical Blastbox, Herbicide, the Rigour prayer and the Ring of Vigour. Some other small things were also added, such as the one-off resetting of the Ring of Kinship's class upgrades.

On 1 November 2010, the behind the scenes gave away 13 new members-only floors that would be added to game called the Warped floors, requiring level 95 to 119 Dungeoneering, along with the last pieces of Primal, Celestial and Sagittarian gear. 8 new items (Twisted bird skull necklace, Split dragontooth necklace, Demon horn necklace, Scroll of cleansing, Amulet of zealots, Celestial surgebox, Spirit cape, & Sneakerpeeper spawn) were also made available at the rewards trader. It was released on 2 November the next day.

Getting There
As the skill can only be trained within Daemonheim itself (experience can also be granted from the resource dungeons which are found all over RuneScape), players will need to travel to its location on a huge peninsula off the east coast of the Wilderness. Fortunately, the peninsula itself does NOT count as being in the Wilderness and can be reached without passing through any wilderness area in 2 out of 3 options:
 * Board the ship- found on the dock behind the Al Kharid bank. Once players have arrived at the landing, they will need to follow the path north-west up the mountain to the entrance of Daemonheim.


 * Teleport directly to Daemonheim- using the Ring of kinship. Note that this item is given by the Dungeoneering Tutor at Daemonheim, as such players must have to travel to Daemonheim at least once before being able to use this method.
 * Walking- players may venture through the eastern part of the low Wilderness area and will find the peninsula easily. There are several methods available to get into the general area:
 * 1) The Hot Air Balloon network can be used to travel to the Varrock sawmill, from which players then walk North.

Items
No armour, weapons, money, amulets, or other useful items can be taken into the dungeons below Daemonheim (except for a Ring of Kinship and an Orb of Oculus.) At the start of each dungeon, all bound items will appear in your inventory or equipped in your weapon/armour slots.

At Daemonheim


To enter the dungeon, players deposit all of their items into the bank, drop them, or use them, as well as dismiss any familiar you may have summoned. You do not need to have the Ring of Kinship with you; you only need it to form a party. There is a Dungeoneering Tutor and a Fremennik Banker standing at the entrance to the castle. Players who need to obtain the Ring of kinship for any reason, such as having lost it, should speak to the tutor to obtain one. All armour, weapons, runes, ammunition, and other supplies will be provided and/or can be made (provided you have the skill level and materials to make them) inside the dungeon.

In the castle courtyard, there are several energy barriers, and 2 entrances in the left and right walls that players can go through:
 * Free-for-all barrierEnterancetoDaemonhaim.png
 * Frozen floors barrier - if unlocked access to complexity level 6
 * Abandoned 1 floors barrier - if unlocked floor level above 11
 * Furnished floors barrier - if unlocked floor level above 17
 * Abandoned 2 floors barrier - if unlocked floor level above 29
 * Occult floors barrier - if unlocked floor level above 35
 * Warped floors barrier - if unlocked floor level above 47
 * The south wall left and right dungeon entrances are for players who have manually created a party, and are the entrances used if players wish to train solo.

In the central 'Free-for-all' barrier, players are automatically teamed up to form a party to any floor. Using any of the other barriers will allow you to enter a dungeon with other people in the room to that specific type of floor. If there are no other suitable adventurers waiting, players will be allowed to enter the dungeon by themselves.

Objective
The main purpose of Dungeoneering is to progress through the various floors of the dungeon with teammates and kill the boss monster at the end of each level. To do so, players must travel through a series of rooms while using their collective skills to equip themselves and their teammates with items that will help themselves to complete the dungeon floor. Therefore, teamwork and division of labour will likely help in achieving better results and efficiency.

The levels of the monsters are determined upon the levels of the players trying to compete against the boss.

Gameplay

 * Upon entering, players will be transported to the home room where some armour, weapons and food are available according to the difficulty level the team has selected. The Smuggler is also located here. The Dungeon Home Teleport (commonly abbreviated as "ht") spell will bring players back to this room, which is commonly referred to as "home", "base", "start room" or the like.
 * The team is linked by the Ring of kinship. The ring performs several functions within the dungeon, all within the extra interface tab that it generates in the bottom right hand window, replacing the quest list. The ring interface allows the toggling of shared experience, monitoring of team status, and allows teammates to view other teammates' inventory, familiar's inventory, stats, and worn items.
 * Dropped items do not vanish as they normally do in the RuneScape overworld, but instead appear immediately to all players as they are dropped. This includes monster drops, inventory management drops, and drops upon quitting.
 * Some less useful items such as Ashes and Burnt Food, however, do disappear.
 * When typing in public chat while in a dungeon, all messages are visible to everyone in a party regardless of where players are. Players on opposite sides of the dungeon will be able to communicate without using private messages.
 * Rooms of the dungeon are connected by doors. It is impossible to see into the next room until the door is first clicked on. This does not open it but reveals the room beyond the door. Some doors are locked or somehow blocked off and must first be somehow accessed via specialized techniques before the door can be used. Such as a key which is needed to unlock the door. Sometimes you need to use your skills to open the door. If a player does not have the required level, a message will appear in the chat box: "You need a (skill) level of (level) to do that." Once the next room is revealed, players can then pass through the door into the room.
 * Upon death, players will respawn in the starting room with the Smuggler, and their death counter will be increased by one. Most items are kept on death; however, if a personal| and/or group gatestone is/are in a player's inventory, it will be dropped wherever the player died and they may teleport back to it at any time.
 * The leader of a Dungeoneering party can make a flashing arrow appear over a monster by right-clicking on the monster they desire to mark and clicking "Mark". This can be used to sight powerful monsters and to guide the party in various ways.

Complexity


Complexity is a 6-tier scale that determines the number of other skills involved. Note that setting the floor to a lower complexity than 6 will incur a penalty on the amount of experience gained at the end of a dungeon, as shown in the screenshot to the right. Each additional complexity level involves all skills from the level before plus some more. Complexities 6 and 5 include every skill. Complexities 4, 5, and 6 include every skill available to free players.

Floors


Floors, currently from 1 to 60, as well as the party members' combat levels determine the combat levels of the monsters that players encounter; the higher the floor level and/or combat level(s), the stronger the enemies.

To access a given floor, players' Dungeoneering level must be at least twice the floor number minus 1. For example you need level 39 for floor 20 ((20 x 2) - 1 = 39). Moreover to unlock a floor, you must complete the previous floor while you have the required level for the next floor. For example, a player with level 38 Dungeoneering who completes floor 19, and later reaches level 39, would have to complete floor 19 again to access floor 20.

If players are in a group, the floors other members have cleared would also be shown on separate columns. The highest floor accessible to a group is the deepest of the floors that all team members can access.

The choice of the level of complexity may penalize a party with an XP penalty. Level 6 complexity, the highest complexity available, will give you no penalty whatsoever.

Dungeon Size
Dungeons are created in small (4x4 grid), medium (4x8 grid), or large (8x8 grid) increments. A dungeon may contain up to the maximum number of rooms possible from that grid, but usually contains fewer rooms, due to blank areas on the map.

The maximum number of rooms per size is:
 * Small: up to 16 rooms
 * Medium: up to 32 rooms
 * Large: up to 64 rooms

When soloing or duoing, only small size and medium size dungeons are available. A party of 3 or more is needed for a large sized dungeon.

Dungeon size is also a factor which has a major impact on the amount of experience players receive.

Suggested Dungeon Size
1-2 players: Choose small at first, until one is used to the basics.

3-4 players: Choose medium, as you will get higher base experience (more monsters battled, more resources and puzzles). Large takes about twice as long and will only give about 50% more experience.

5 players: Choose large. You can usually break up into two smaller parties with 5 players (although some parties do not do this, and stay together as a large mass in order to rush in and kill things which might be difficult to normally, such as a level 133 Mysterious shade), making them only a little longer than medium. In large dungeons, you will get very high base experience, plus a bonus for it being large. You are more likely to die though, and often won't be able to kill all the enemies and open all the rooms, giving a smaller bonus. It's important to note that although rare, it is very much possible to complete a large dungeon on a Free world.

If, however, there are significant differences in levels, for instance 3 players being over combat level 110 and one being under 60, you may want to choose a dungeon as if the weak player didn't count, since that player won't be much help in battling the monsters and/or boss. If, on the contrary, there is one over level 110 and the others being under 60, you might want to set the dungeon for less players (this belongs to the player size or difficulty section), or the monsters will be too strong for most of the players, the high level player being basically the only combatant, resulting in a very long dungeon. It is also advised to only go high dungeons in a party, since low ones will give a lot less bonus (Floor 1 can give you a base of about 1000 at max, plus the prestige, not being very effective).

Finding a team
When finding a team, many players use abbreviations. For example, the abbreviation for the floor of the dungeon is "F". It is common for players to say "trade me" or "Hosting" if they wish to be the party leader and need members for their party. It is also common for players to say "invite me", "joining party" "need floor (x)", or "n(x)" where (x) is the floor, if they wish to be invited to a party.

The Runescape forums are good way to find a team. It is under the "Dungeons of Daemonheim". Then click on the "Adventuring Parties" category. Here you can make a new thread stating what floor, what complexity, and specific requirements (ex. Combat 100+ only) you would like in your group. Another option is to look through the forums and find somebody that you can help. One other easy way to find other people wanting to join a party or looking for people in a party is to join a Dungeoneering clan. There are Dungeoneering worlds, as listed below:

Official Dungeoneering Worlds:
(F2P) World 7

(P2P) World 117, World 77

Unofficial Dungeoneering Worlds:
(F2P) World 1,World 61 (World 61 is geared towards F2P skillers and level 90+ combat)

(P2P) World 148 is geared towards level 90+ dungeoneers. Most of the time, there will be at least one person under 90 in a party at any one time; if a party is 90+, they'll usually state said requirement.

Party Size
Each dungeon is designed for a specific number of players. This governs the amount of loot/supplies, players required for puzzles, and characteristics of the boss. (For example, the Gluttonous behemoth will have 1 food source for 1-player dungeons, and 2 food sources for parties with 2 or more players. The Follow the leader puzzle will have more pads to stand on for more people. The lever/switches will have less time to complete.)

If you choose a smaller party than what is recommended, you may receive a penalty on your score—this changes depending on how much lower it is set.

If you (for example) choose a party size that includes at least two members,and enough members leave that there are less than that number of members left, your team may become stuck and unable to complete the dungeon (ex. having a Gluttonous behemoth for a boss and all but one player leaves, meaning one corpse can't be blocked). This has been fixed now the Behemoth will only eat to full health one time. However if you block his feeding before full health he will eat again an easy way to earn more exp if you do it correctly but not worth it for the time and effort.

When working with other players, it is a good idea to collect extra resources and deposit them at the starting room, as your teammates may make good use of them.

The more players in a party the higher the average monster level will be (depending on the higest level of your team).

Ending a Dungeon
Players may leave the dungeon at any time via the ladder in the starting room or via the "Leave Party" button in the party interface. However, this is does not constitute completing the dungeon, and will give very little Dungeoneering experience.

In order to complete a raid, the boss must be defeated (see Bosses for tips on defeating the boss). At this point one player will receive a random item from the boss's drop table, and a ladder to the next level will appear on the wall. Players may then opt to complete the dungeon and begin the next raid by clicking the ladder.

As soon as one person clicks on the ladder and selects the "Yes, continue" option, a timer will start to count down to the end of the floor, the length of which (in minutes) is one less than the number of players. The time will reduce by a minute each time another player opts to leave. Therefore, if all members of the party opt to leave, the dungeon will end instantly.

Players will then receive Dungeoneering experience, and be shown a dialog box indicating how much experience was gained, and the bonuses and penalties that determined this. This will directly affect your token gain as well, as you gain 10% of your XP in tokens (that's one token per ten experience, or for an easy way to figure it out, drop the last digit of the experience needed, or if finding how many tokens one would need for a reward, add a zero to the end of the tokens required). See Dungeoneering/winterface for more details.

You will advance to the next floor if your team's Dungeoneering levels are high enough. Otherwise, the same floor will be repeated.

Binding Items
By default, players will start each floor with no items (unless they set a low dungeon complexity); items obtained on the previous floor will be lost. However they can select an important item to have at all times, and "bind" it to themselves. Once an item is bound, players will always begin a raid with this item wielded (this was updated from the item appearing in a player's inventory). Bound items are noted with a (b) appended to the item's name. The number of items players may have bound at once depends on their Dungeoneering level. The most common items to bind are a high level weapon, armour such as a platebody, and the Shadow silk hood. The suggested, and most common way to do it is to bind a weapon of the best type that you can bind, then a [Shadow silk hood]] or if you've not yet gotten one from a Night spider (which is considerably rare), bind a platebody or platelegs (only platelegs if, say, they're Primal and you can't get a Primal Platebody), and finally, platelegs or if somehow you still don't have a hood at level 120, bind a helmet or shield if you use a one-handed weapon.

''Note that bound items can not be traded, and un-binding an item requires it be destroyed. Also note that if your bound item is P2P and you lose membership, when you go to bind a F2P item, you get an option to destroy all bound members items, but you are not required to destroy them (just realize that you will not receive them).''

In addition to these items, players may also bind ammo. Players may bind a maximum of 125 units of one kind of ammo, the number of which is bound will always appear in players' beginning inventory. The maximum units and the number of kinds of ammo does not increase with level. Players will begin a raid with the same amount of bound ammo, even if it is fully expended. There is no need to replenish your bound stackable item to 125 at the end of a dungeon, it will be replenished to the number that you bound when you begin the next floor. (Example: 76 blood runes are bound and are all used in a raid; at the beginning of the next floor, that player will begin with 76 blood runes (b) in inventory.) If you wish to poison your arrows, do so before binding as bound unpoisoned arrows cannot be poisoned, as that would create two different stacks of items. Items need not be in full stock to further bind. (For example, a player has bound 46 blood runes before raiding, that player used up 20 of them and found another 13 blood runes from a drop of an monster. By binding these 13 runes that player will have 59 blood runes bound in that player's next raid. Once the maximum amount of ammo binding is reached, further binding will cause new runes to combine with the bound ammo slot and will be untradeable.)

Weapon poison (of any strength) can be added to a bound dagger or spear, but cannot be added to bound arrows - players must poison the arrows first and then bind them. Also, any type of cloth (roseblood, wildercress, etc.) can be used like a Cleaning cloth to remove poison from a weapon. This allows you to replace a weak weapon poison with a stronger one.

Attempting to bind more items than allowed will do nothing, except showing a message stating that a currently bound item must be destroyed before another item may be bound. Ammo, however, can have far over the maximum number of items actually bound, as unbound ammo and bound ammo technically count as 2 separate items and take additional inventory space. If an excess amount is bound, however, at the beginning of the next raid players will begin with only 125 of the bound item.

Bound weapons, armour and ammo cannot be sold or alched as of an update on 1 September 2010, but instead, the amount of coins dropped by NPCs in the dungeon has been increased. The change in monster drops more than made up for disabling the previous practice of some players to alchemise their bound arrows for cash every floor, increasing the general speed of gaining starting cash for runes, equipment, etc.

Remember: if a bound item is destroyed, there is no way to get it back!

Skills
Main article: Dungeoneering Skills

Every skill can be used in some way while raiding the dungeons. They can give advantages, such as access to bonus rooms, or are sometimes necessary to complete a dungeon. The uses of skills while in a Dungeon are unique to Daemonheim. Doors that require skills to open start at Complexity 5.

Combat
Combat while Dungeoneering consists of the three attack types: Magic, Ranged, and Melee. Daemonheim has its own spellbook with a combination of Standard spellbook and Lunar spellbook, with three new spells too. Ranged and Melee only use weapons specific to Dungeoneering, all of which can be player-made, provided the resources can be found or bought and players have a high enough skill to Smith, Fletch and/or Craft them, besides Primal, Celestial, and Saggitarian equipment, which can only be obtained from boss drops.

Bosses
Players must defeat the boss in order to complete the floor.

Once you enter a boss room it will be nearly impossible to exit through the door during the fight. It's highly recommended that you create a gatestone before entering the boss room to minimise the number of deaths. You should always determine what the boss is instead of rushing into it.

Food
A complete experience table for Cooking, complete with life points for the potatoes can be found here.

Most food available in the dungeon are fish, cave potatoes, and mushrooms. Cave potatoes and mushroom seeds are found mostly by killing monsters. Free players can only access raw and cooked fish, and bananas using the bones to bananas spell though not any product of other food. As mentioned free players can only gain food by buying or fishing them as raw form, or loot from fallen enemies and smuggler room as cooked form.

As you progress through the dungeon, you will be able to grow and cook cave potatoes, which you can then combine with fish and/or mushrooms to form more complex foods.

For example, Cave potatoes and mushrooms are grown in a farm patch and take about 1 minute to grow. To cook them you need a range, some logs, and a tinderbox OR just logs and a tinderbox. Note that unlike on the surface, cave potatoes can be cooked over ordinary fires, although there is a significantly increased chance of burning them. Use the logs with the range and then the potatoes with the range. Then add the fish, and/or your choice of mushrooms. There are two kinds of mushroom, Gissel mushroom and Edicap mushroom, which heal 30 and 90 LP, respectively. Gissel mushrooms require a Farming level of 34, and Edicap mushrooms require level 68 Farming. Baked cave potatoes heal 30 LP plus the total amount of LP healed by the ingredient(s) they are combined with. For example, a Gissel mushroom and Salve eel potato will heal 260 LP, whereas the Salve eel itself heals 200 LP.

You may also use food items with other players to heal them. Without any medic property of Ring of Kinship, food can heal 100% amount of lifepoint. They will get a message saying "[Player's Name] gives you a [food item], which you eat." This will terminate both player's action of attacking, and temporarily stop both from moving. If they already have full life points and you try to use food with them, you will get a message saying "As tasty as a heim crab is, [Player's Name] already has full life points".

Spellbook
The spellbook contains a combination of the Lunar and Standard spellbook spells. There are four new spells which help players teleport around while Dungeoneering: Dungeon Home Teleport, Create Gatestone, Gatestone Teleport, and the Group Gatestone Teleport.



Puzzles
In addition to regular monster-filled rooms, a dungeon may contain one or more puzzle rooms. These puzzles range in difficulty and complexity. Many puzzles require certain skill levels to be performed and accomplished, and others may cause the players to suffer damage if the puzzle was not done properly.

Rewards
Upon completion of a dungeon raid, players will receive Dungeoneering skill experience and a number of tokens equal to a 1:10 ratio of the experience received. These tokens are smuggled outside of Daemonheim so that they may be traded with the rewards trader in the Daemonheim camp for items to be used outside of the dungeons. Players may also receive weapons, armour, or other things that they can bind and take to the next floor.

Hidden Resource Dungeons
An update on 19 July 2010 added resource dungeons hidden all over Gielinor. Each of them requires a certain Dungeoneering level to enter. The first time players enter each, they receive bonus Dungeoneering experience. Various monsters or resources are available in each resource dungeon. The maximum amount of experience gained after entering all of the resource dungeons is 86,600 for members and 12,000 for free users.

Journal
While Dungeoneering, one can sometimes find parts of different journals near the exit ladder after a boss is defeated. They can also be dropped by monsters (rare). They can be viewed at any time by talking to the Dungeoneering Tutor just outside the gates of Daemonheim. However, they are of no use within dungeons after players pick them up from the monster they received it from, so they may be destroyed safely.

Music Unlocking Tips

 * All Glacialis tracks are unlocked on the Frozen floors, all Desolo tracks are unlocked on the Abandoned floors, all Adorno tracks are unlocked on the Furnished floors, all Occulo tracks are unlocked on the Occult floors, and all Torqueo tracks are unlocked on the Warped floors.
 * All five themes will have 10 possible music tracks to unlock not including the 6 Boss-specific tracks in each theme.
 * Every time players enter a room with an enemy in it, the music player will randomly select a track. If the room is repeatedly entered and exited, players can unlock these music tracks very quickly.
 * All bosses have their own music, so if players want to unlock them quickly, they should do small dungeons with the 'guide' option turned on. If the room before the boss has monsters in it, there is a glitch where it will not unlock the music track.

Controversy
There is a debate about whether Dungeoneering is really a skill or rather just an activity, sharing similarities with Stealing Creation. Many players felt that Dungeoneering did not meet certain requirements to fulfil the definition of a skill. The reasons for this include the inability to take any items outside of the dungeons, the fact that it is dependent upon all other skills, the limitation of its training to only one area, and the lack of integration with the rest of the game. It is widely considered to be an activity.

Since Dungeoneering was in development for a long time - with players aware of its development for many years of that time - much hype was built up (usually in the form of threads in the Future Updates forum). When Dungeoneering was finally released, a number of players refused to train the skill for the above reasons.

A source of controversy was the original token cost of the rewards available. Many players felt these costs were too high, citing that they do not receive sufficient tokens to buy any rewards until past level 50 Dungeoneering. This was due to a mistake just a short while before the release the amount of tokens players would receive at the end of the dungeon was dramatically lowered but the rewards were not changed in line with this, Jagex has apologized for this. Other players cited the mismatch between the Dungeoneering levels and the number of tokens required for a reward, which made it so that players could wield a reward they could not afford. The costs of items were lowered to a more reasonable level on 21 April 2010, although most of them still could not be bought at the required level.

There was also a discrepancy between members and free players. Since many members were going on free worlds to take advantage of the easier monsters, an update shortly after the release halved the amount of experience earned by players with level 90+ combat on free worlds. (A very steep drop in experience between combat 89 and 90.) Thus, Jagex reduced the advantages of simply being a high-combat free player because that player was able to kill monsters faster.

Jagex also stated that they were removing a large number of Members' advertisements in the free game (such as pickpocket options, options to open members only gates, etc.). The exceptions are the doors in Dungeoneering that require members skills to open on a free world. They prevent free players from gaining extra experience, thus slowing down the process of levelling.

Temporary boosts
Unlike other skills, there are no positive boosts for Dungeoneering at this time. Considering how the skill is utilised it is unlikely for there to be a boost in the future. However, it is possible to temporarily reduce the dungeoneering level via the frost effect at the entrance to the God Wars Dungeon, resulting in the inability to access higher floors. For example, at 1/99 dungeoneering, it is only possible to access floor 1, instead of floor 50. However, if you have set the floor before lowering your skill level, you can still access that floor even if the interface does not show the floor. Access to the dungeoneering resource dungeons are not affected by lowered levels.

The Skill

 * There were 48 new music tracks released with this skill, making the most songs released with an update. This makes it a good method of unlocking the "Air Guitar" emote.
 * After 1 week there were approximately 65,000 players ranked, the highest level being level 79. After 3 weeks there were approximately 90,000 players ranked, the highest level being level 99.
 * On November 10, 2010, Wisely Done was the first person to get 200 million XP in Dungeoneering.
 * As of January 16, 2011, Dungeoneering has the least level 99's (13,034,431 experience) of all the skills but the most people with 104,273,167 experience of all skills. This is probably due to a combination of the skill's recent release and the increased level cap. In addition, it has the second most common skill to have 200 million experience.
 * Many pures/skillers were ruined when the skill was released by other players opening doors which gave magic, prayer and strength experience or other players attacking monsters as this gave shared experience. This can be countered by simply turning off shared experience with the ring.
 * It has a huge indirect relation to your combat level; the only other skill that does this is Slayer.
 * Dungeoneering is one of the only four skills not used in Stealing Creation, the others being Firemaking, Farming, and Slayer.
 * When you complete the Tears of Guthix activity, the message for increasing your Dungeoneering skill is "You feel the mysteries of Daemonheim unravel."
 * Jagex stated here (Swedish RuneScape Forums) that the reason why Dungeoneering can be levelled all the way up to 120 is because the developers couldn't fit everything they wanted in the skill with only level 99.
 * Jagex has added 2 new floor environments (occult and warped) and several new bosses and challenges to Dungeoneering. The warped floors were recently released.
 * Dungeoneering became more useful along with the massive Dungeoneering Update on 19 July 2010. It is now a mild money making skill thanks to the new Resource Dungeons- exclusive based on your Dungeoneering level.
 * Killing Frost Dragons can be one of the best money making methods in the game, using dwarf multicannons, a relatively high combat, and having a Pack yak to bank the bones.
 * There is currently only one quest that rewards the player with Dungeoneering experience points.
 * Within Daemonheim, the examine text for coins is different, reading "Makes the world go round." instead of "Lovely money!"
 * It takes 6,495,080 (level 115) tokens to purchase both maximum upgrades for the Ring of kinship and one of each reward item.
 * The Celestial Surgebox (members) and the Magical Blastbox can be found as a drop in the dungeons. The item is bindable in the ammo slot.
 * The first place Dungeoneering was ever mentioned was a Behind the Scenes from March 31 2004, where Mod Mark mentioned that he wanted to create randomly generated scenarios, where you and your friends can go on new adventures every time.
 * During the 2010 Christmas update, the Smuggler would sometimes pelt you with snowballs.
 * Due to the 2010 Christmas update, some monsters, mainly humans would wear Santa Hats or scarves.
 * When a floor ends, players automatically drop all their items ; this can often be seen while the Winterface is loading.
 * The first quest to have a Dungeoneering requirement is A Clockwork Syringe.

The Skillcape

 * Players with level 99 Dungeoneering are entitled to wear the Dungeoneering cape, despite the fact that the number of maximum attainable levels is 120 - every other skill requires players to reach the level cap in order to wield the skill's respective Achievement cape.
 * The emote includes players changing into the tier 11 type armours found in dungeoneering corresponding which of their attack bonuses is higher. It could be either Celestial (Magic), Primal (Stab, Slash or Crush) or Sagittarian (Ranged). If players have equal attack bonuses, a random emote will be performed. The 120 emote will have the player switching between all three types of tier 11 armour, and killing four of the Dungeoneering bosses. This emote requires space in order to perform. 120 Dungeoneering.gif
 * The Dungeoneering skill cape is the first one to offer more than one performable emote when worn.

Curiosities
Some text starts to appear on the ring. It says... 'Nothing interesting happens.'
 * The game filter does not work in Daemonheim, so players will receive messages like "You cook the blue crab" repeatedly.
 * Unlike other chickens, the chickens on the Daemonheim peninsula cannot be attacked; the examine info is "Who are you calling chicken?".
 * When the skill was released, players found doors which needed over 99 in other skills creating speculation they were raising the other skills. However Jagex has stated that they have no plans to increase the level cap on other skills; you can open some of these doors by making potions to increase your level over 99 for a short time.105Crafting.png
 * Dungeoneering has many similarities to and may have been inspired by board based Role-playing games, most notably HeroQuest and Warhammer Quest. These similarities include the use of "board sections," the ability to look through doors to plan your attack and the unique boss at the end of each dungeon level. It also has many similarities with Jagex's FunOrb game Dungeon Assault, and most closely resembles World of Warcraft.
 * Even when using the highest boosts possible, some players may not be able to open certain doors requiring a higher skill level. e.g.- A player with 85 firemaking needing 103 firemaking.
 * Although some skills are required to open doors, half of them are not. These include Attack, Defence, Constitution, Ranging, Fishing, Cooking, Fletching, Hunting, and Dungeoneering. Slayer is not required explicitly, but may be needed to slay a creature to open a guardian door.
 * All the demons in Dungeoneering have real voices (with a demonic tone) when you turn on Sound Effects
 * Free-to-play players are able to craft runes within Daemonheim that can normally be crafted only by members, as long as they have the required Runecrafting level to do so. However, they are still restricted to the use of runes that are used for free spells. For example, a non-member may craft Death runes if they have level 65 Runecrafting, runes that are otherwise only possible to craft as a member. But, runes used ONLY in members' spells, such as Blood runes and Astral runes, can never be crafted by free players.
 * It is possible to have two or more of the same type of door in one room, or two or Plural Mistake.png, Stomps and Har'Lakk the Riftsplitter]]more of the same puzzle room in a dungeon.
 * If this happens, materials from the first puzzle room may still be used to complete second room (especially useful if the second room has a higher requirement).
 * This is also possible with rooms with similar puzzles. For instance, a stone weapon made from a rock mined in a room with the Ten statue weapon puzzle can be used to solve a Three statue weapon puzzle.
 * When levelling up, some boss monsters are written in plural and some are singular (see picture to the right). The names are not capitalised, however, which would indicate that this is not actually the monster's name, but instead is its species or group (i.e. Rammernauts are a division of heavy guard, similar to brutes).
 * When the party leader invites himself/herself while already Dungeoneering, this message will appear:  is not on the Daemonheim peninsula and cannot be invited.
 * In the recent Dungeoneering Q&A with Jagex, the moderators tell anyone who asked about the skill's activity qualities to refer to the Dungeoneering FAQ's section. However, this is not listed as a frequently asked question.
 * On one of the doors you "force-bar", but the chat says "You pull the plank off the door."
 * Sometimes after completing a dungeon, there are slight errors due to displaying rounded percentages.
 * In some dungeons there are shelves and drawers. When hovering the mouse beneath them, on the floor, an extra option will be displayed "Examine". Upon examining, it will not display the examine text on the chatbox.
 * It may be useful to note that one can recharge prayer points, remove a skull above the player, or restore life points by entering and leaving a dungeon.
 * When crafting items in dungeons, occasionally for a split second, you can see a bit in the text box where it says 'null' instead of 'What would you like to make?'.
 * If the Ring of Kinship is used on a fire, a message will show up that says "The ring seems to be resistant to the fire. There appears to be some text glowing, but you can't make it out." There is current speculation about what this means. However, this is most likely just a reference to the One Ring in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
 * Also, if the ring is used on a Dungeoneering fire, it says:
 * After the update on the 19th of July, when having marked the boss, the smuggler would be marked in the next game.
 * After the update on 19 July 2010, the in-game skillguide says that the Photobooth for Construction requires 1 Novite bar, but it's listed elsewhere that this is not true. (Ex: Looking in the Knowledge Base or by trying to replace the portal)
 * Level 120 takes almost eight times the experience needed for level 99.
 * The Fremenniks in Daemonheim are the only ones not to call you by your Fremennik name (if you've completed the Fremennik Trials Quest).
 * In the mine resource dungeon, there was a bank deposit box near the exit door, allowing quick banking. this was removed in a hidden update... Then Replaced
 * Drops from monsters or from players will not disappear in the dungeons, except burnt food and ashes.
 * In some corners in some dungeons, there's an option to examine the corners but there's nothing to be examine.In the option menu, it just said "Examine". Examining it will give a blank message at the chatbox.File:Examine Nothing.png
 * Burying bones isn't affected by the Complexity level; you always get the full amount of xp from burying any kind of bones.
 * Almost all items change icons within Daemonheim. The exceptions to this are the chisel and Summoning charms, as well as all types of bones.
 * If you have the ferret puzzle, sometimes there will be a monster stuck in the boxes. When you grab the items it will be as if you were puting something on the table and get it back animation.

Rollback and System Updates
On 14 April 2010, at approximately 5:00pm (UTC), Jagex had to shut down the RuneScape servers due to a Dungeoneering related bug where the XP for crafting nature runes was accidentally increased (2000 XP per rune) instead of being decreased. All accounts were rolled back by about 30 minutes. The login server was offline for 4 hours. There were also numerous system updates throughout the first week after Dungeoneering was released as developers scrambled to fix various design bugs as they were uncovered, many of which made certain rooms impossible to complete, even with all the required skill levels. There were instances of multiple updates within one hour, which made training the new skill extremely frustrating to players who were unable to finish a dungeon before the update occurred. They also cut the experience gained on free servers by 50% for players with 90+ combat level. This update was mostly made because many members logged into free worlds to train dungeoneering because the combat levels of monsters in free worlds are lower than those in member worlds.
