Resource dungeon

Resource dungeons (also known as surface dungeons) are dungeons initially released on 19 July 2010. Each requires a minimum Dungeoneering level to enter and gives a one-time experience reward for discovering. Each one contains resources inside, including new monster spawns (such as frost dragons), as well as ores, trees, and herb spawns. Note that while an experience bonus is given for finding a dungeon, Dungeoneering tokens are not awarded to match the bonus. Finding all 20 currently released dungeons gives a total one-time experience reward of over 260,000 experience, or 12,000 experience for non members-only dungeons.

Dungeons
There are currently a total of 20 resource dungeons. These are all accessible as soon as the required levels are reached, except for those requiring the start or completion a quest: Braindeath Island 'Rum'-geon (A Clockwork Syringe), the Dragontooth Island resource dungeon (One of a Kind), and the Baxtorian Falls resource dungeon (Waterfall Quest).
