Common abbreviations[]

Proceeding is a list of common abbreviations within Dungeoneering itself. Parties often use these abbreviations to shorten typing time and thereby decrease the overall elapsed time.

Abbreviation Meaning

nh "no herb"
path [door] Open the door (i.e. "crimson wedge" or "cw") and "path" it (follow it until it dead-ends).
crit/critical path Critical path (the path that leads to the boss)

Usually ascertained by the experience obtained from a skill door. Experience from doors in the 460 and 505 range is often critical, though may also be bonus, and this only holds true if at least one player in the party has level 99 in the skill required. The critical path is always continuous, i.e. it will always be one piece and will never be disconnected from another part of itself. The critical path contains keys and skill doors for bonus rooms.

Note that in free-to-play Dungeoneering, any door giving from 210-255 xp is considered critical in 5:5, assuming at least one player has level 50 (or higher) in the given skill.

bon/b path/bo Bonus path (The path that gives you extra experience and will eventually leads to dead ends or skill doors over level 99)

455 experience or less is a bonus door and 510 or more experience is also bonus. Doors that give 510-535 experience are doors that require level 100-105 in the given skill; therefore, they are bonus. This all assumes that at least one player has level 99 in the skill, and the dungeon is the highest difficulty it can be (i.e. 5:5).

Note: in the free to play version, any door giving an amount other than 210-255 xp is considered to be bonus in 5:5, assuming at least one player has 50+stats. Also, any door requires a level of 50 or more to complete is considered bonus. 

bonk [X] "bonus key X". Used to state that the door opened by this key will be on the bonus path.
b/boss Boss (called as soon as it is found)
me While not an abbreviation, per se; "me" is used similarly to "g1"/"g2" to mean the player has placed a gatestone at the door
cgt "Carry Group Teleport [gatestone]" Usually a command given by the host indicating that they would like someone to carry the Group Gatestone along a particular path.
pgt Personal Gatestone Teleport or Path Group Teleport [Gatestone]
skipping/melting Used when someone in the party is using the Gorajan trailblazer outfit or a Lock melter to skip/melt a puzzle/gd room.

Key door abbreviations[]

Within a dungeon the names of the different keys and doors are often abbreviated. To form a door abbreviation state the colour first then the shape e.g. crimson corner could be cco or crco.

It is most common that the shortest abbreviation be used, such as: cco rather than crco, sp rather than spent, and so on.

Key door colour Abbreviation
Crimson c, cr, crim
Gold go
Yellow y, ye, yell
Purple p, pu
Silver s, si, sil
Green gr, grn
Orange o, or
Blue b, bl
Key door shape Abbreviation
Shield s, sh
Corner co, crn, corn
Crescent cr, cres
Wedge w, we
Diamond d, dia
Triangle t, tr, tri
Pentagon p, pent
Rectangle r, re, rec

Players should avoid using "g" for colour, as well as "c" for shape as they can be either the gold or green colours and corner or crescent shapes, respectively.

Puzzle door abbreviations[]

Descriptions of how to solve the puzzles can be found here.

Alternatively some puzzles such as the statue bridge/grapple tightrope are more commonly referred to only by skill levels required to complete (that the person calling lacks) e.g. gt 86 con. Some puzzles which use the same name within the dungeons have been omitted e.g. Pondskaters.

Miscellaneous[]

Abbreviation Meaning
Kata Katagon metal

Ssh The Shadow silk hood (can also be the silver shield key)
Bn The Blood necklace
Hex The Hexhunter bow
T1, T2, etc. Referring to ring of kinship customizations or resource tiers, i.e. tier 1, tier 2, and so on
SuiLees The host suicide keys (picks up no food and tries to complete the critical path as quickly as possible) and there is a leecher (someone who does nothing) on the team. As one could probably assume, the "Sui" is for suicide, while the "Lee" is for leech; therefore, any number in front of a letter means that there are that many of that type; for example, "sui2l" and "1sui2lee" both refer to a single suicider with two leeches.
SuiKeys Suicide keying, no leech. The host picks up no food, suiciding to complete the critical path as quickly as possible, without a leech. Often done as a favour to someone, or to try to improve keying time. Just as with "SuiLees," a number in front of the "Sui" implies that many suiciders; for example, "2SuiKeys" means two suiciders, no leeches.
J/L, JL Join-and-leave. Once the dungeon starts, participants leave the dungeon. Common with item hunts, i.e. attempting to obtain primal, sagitarrian, or celestial equipment from bosses. This is done because 5:5 dungeons have a higher rate of yield for top-tier equipment.
Tyff(s) Thank you for the floor(s)
Row Multiple dungeons with the same party. Usually, party members will click the skip button on the Winterface, then click their respective buttons to continue. Leaving at this screen implies that one is done running the row, and the host will need to find a new member to replace them. It is considered rude to the host and team to join a "Row" but leave after the first floor.
