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. Further 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.

Elite dungeons are indicated on the world map with this icon ().

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. Like the demon boss and WildyWyrm, damaging monsters makes players eligible for rewards even if they did not deal the majority of damage.

There are mini-bosses in each dungeon. Like the bosses themselves, each mini-boss will yield 5,000 Dungeoneering tokens upon death.

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.

Using any non-augmented elite armour in the dungeons will not degrade them, making them the best non-augmentable armour for use in the dungeon.

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, Verak Lith and the Black Stone Dragon. The laboratory is located in the Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins, but the area is safe and players may teleport to quickly access the area. Unlike the the Temple of Aminishi, which is divided into multiple sections, the laboratory is contained within one full map.

Rewards from the dungeon include draconic energy, materials which are required to upgrade tectonic armour to its elite variant and three codices to upgrade the Fury, Flurry and Barge abilities into their mutated counterparts.

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 was 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.
