Dungeons

Dungeons are PvE raid activities in which a team of 2 to 5 players work together to defeat mobs within a procedurally generated series of rooms, ending in a boss fight. Players are rewarded based on their performance within the Dungeon with XP and items within chests. The rewards scale up with the difficulty of the Dungeon; the more difficult missions can drop some of the strongest items in the game.

Currently, the only released Dungeons are the Catacombs and its Master Mode. Two other Dungeons are hinted at with a desert and forest theme.

If someone starts a party for a Floor and has several players without the requirement but join the Floor, then the rest of the party will be left and the party leader will get to solo the Floor. This is how the money making method "Frag Running" is done on Floor.

Completing a new Dungeon Floor (including Master Mode) rewards Skyblock XP, which is used to level up an important stat called SkyBlock Levels.

Overview
Dungeons consist of a series of connected rooms. The main goal of each Dungeon run is to unlock each door, beat The Watcher guarding the way to the boss room, then defeat the boss. Along the way, special Dungeon Mobs will spawn and attack the player. Certain Dungeon rooms will also contain special items and buffs to help players accomplish their goal.

Generation
Each Dungeon is a series of rooms connected by doorways. The path to the Blood Room is always guarded by a series of Wither doors, and the Blood Door at the end; the Fairy room will always generate along this path.

The size and number of rooms in each Dungeon depends on the listed size:

Within each Dungeon, the following special rooms will always generate:
 * Starting room -
 * At least 2 puzzle rooms -
 * Mini-boss room -
 * Fairy room -
 * Blood room -
 * Trap room (Floor + only) -

The rest of the space is filled in with normal rooms - Brown Rooms.

Special rooms are always generated in 1x1 space, and generate at the end of a chain of connected rooms. Normal rooms can generate in a 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 2x2 or L-shaped space.

Dungeon Mobs spawn in all normal rooms. Their spawning locations are set, and in some cases their type, as in Lonely Spider spawns in the spider room.

Each room also has a number of Dungeon Secrets, which appear in fixed locations. Each Secret, when found, awards the player with loot or a team-wide buff called Blessings, and adds to the score for that run.

A Magical Map of the Dungeon replaces the SkyBlock Menu once the Dungeon begins. This map shows the location of all rooms as well as their completion status. It is taken away once entering the boss room. When right-clicked, it functions as a SkyBlock Menu.

Gear Mechanics
Most items obtained from Dungeons with stats are Dungeon items; normal items can be converted to Dungeon items with Essence. Dungeon items can be differentiated from normal items in the rarity, for example, "".

Dungeon items receive stat buffs according to the Dungeon level of its user. In addition, certain items can be upgraded with Essence, which applies up to five stars to the item. Each star adds a 2-10% buff outside of Dungeons and 10%-50% inside the Dungeon. The Dungeon level and star stat buffs are additive; if a player has a 20% stat buff from levels and 50% from stars, the total stat buff will be 70%. If a slayer item is converted into a Dungeon item with Essence, it can be used within Dungeons even if the player does not have Slayer level requirement of that item.

The following stats are boosted by both Dungeon levels and stars:
 * (e.g. Sniper Helmet)
 * (e.g. Bonzo's Mask)
 * (e.g. Flower of Truth)
 * (e.g. Giant's Sword)
 * (e.g. Shadow Fury)
 * (e.g. Livid Dagger)
 * (e.g. Precursor Eye)
 * (e.g. Chimera Weapon with Ammonite Pet)
 * (e.g. Previous Maxor's Armor with Topaz Gemstone equipped)
 * (e.g. Chimera Weapon with Scatha Pet)
 * (e.g. Chimera Weapon with a Pet that has a Quick Claw)
 * (e.g. Chimera Weapon with Mooshroom Cow Pet)

The following stats are only boosted by stars:
 * (e.g. Divine Gift Weapon)
 * (e.g. Astraea)
 * (e.g. Livid Dagger)
 * (e.g. Zombie Soldier Cutlass)
 * (e.g. Valkyrie)
 * (e.g. Wither Goggles)

For the following stats, it is not known or impossible to be known how they are boosted:
 * (Method of Testing: Chimera Weapon with Endermite Pet)

Most Dungeon items, including converted items, require a certain Dungeon level to use. In addition, gear dropped from mobs from a Floor have the same Dungeon level requirement as the requirement to enter that Floor, but only in that Dungeon. For example, a Zombie Knight Armor piece dropped from Floor will require  to use, as well as  within the Catacombs.

General Mechanics
Certain mechanics are tweaked within Dungeons:
 * Every time you hit an enemy, you regain . This applies to:
 * Melee strikes
 * Bow hits
 * Mage Staff ability (for Mage class)
 * This does not apply to:
 * Item abilities (Spirit Sceptre ability, etc.)
 * Class abilities (Explosive Shot, etc.)
 * The Purse is not displayed. The bonus from items buffed by the Purse (Emerald Blade, etc.) will not work. Shops in the Dungeon will first take from the purse, then directly from the player's bank.
 * Any above 100 is reduced by 2/3.
 * The following enchantments are changed:
 * is disabled.
 * Healing from is reduced 10x.
 * Slowing effect from is reduced.
 * The following items are changed:
 * The item abilities of the Explosive Bow and End Stone Sword do not work.
 * All fired arrows do not respect invincibility frames, but deal reduced knockback.
 * The player is not allowed to do the following:
 * Warp to private islands (warping to the Hub and other locations is still allowed).
 * Ride mounts such as the Horse Pet.
 * Use /ah, /et, /av or /bz with the Cookie Buff on.
 * Players may only consume or splash one potion during a Dungeon run.
 * Healing, Mana and Stamina potions are exceptions.
 * Players can receive effects from multiple potions if they are splashed or consumed simultaneously.
 * God Potions may not be consumed.

Floors
Each Dungeon contains a number of Floors. Each Floor is harder than the previous by about 50%, but drops stronger loot.

In order to enter a Floor, the player must have completed the Floor before it at least once and has to have the required Dungeon level.

Certain Dungeon items require the player to have completed a floor before it can be used. For example, Shadow Assassin Armor requires a Floor completion.

Classes
Currently, there are five playable classes within Dungeons:
 * Healer - Uses their healing abilities and tools to keep the team alive and dealing.
 * Berserk - Specialises in close-quarter combat, relying on and high melee  to defeat enemies.
 * Mage - Relies on high levels and magic  to shut enemies down with magic weapons. Its  ability deals formidable single-target  from a safe distance.
 * Archer - Ranged weapons allow it to take down high-health enemies from a safe distance.
 * Tank - Keeps the team safe by drawing enemy attention away from and taking on behalf of more vulnerable members of the team.

Each class gains class-specific buffs and abilities within Dungeons. The power of those buffs and abilities are increased by leveling up those classes. Class abilities can be used with the Dungeon Orb, or by pressing the drop (ultimate) or drop stack (regular) key with an Orb in inventory.

If within a Dungeon run there is only one instance of a class, the class buffs are increased by 100% of their base stats. For example, if a level 25 Archer (50% base extra arrow chance, 25% additional extra arrow chance from levels) is the only Archer in a run, their extra arrow chance will be increased to 125%.

Loot
Dungeon loot is obtained in three ways: from Secrets, dropped from mobs or bought from Dungeon Reward Chests.

Death and Revival
In Dungeons, instead of dying, players become Ghosts, where they are invisible except for a ghost icon that follows them and is visible to other players. Players also become Ghosts if they leave and return to the dungeon for any reason. In the Ghost state, players can fly freely, but not through walls. They are unable to normally interact with the world, except for killing Fairies in order to revive themselves, and through the use of their respective Ghost Abilities.

In Ghost form, players are unable to use the majority of the features in the SkyBlock Menu, or warp out of the Dungeon. Ghosts cannot attack Dungeon Mobs, with the exception of through their Ghost Abilities. For additional ghost abilities, players can get the and, both of which appear in the player's hotbar when the player is dead, if they had the items beforehand. These are usable as normal. They also gain the ability, which teleports them to a chosen alive teammate. Ghosts are also able to view the Magical Map.

Ghosts may be revived in the following ways:
 * Having a Revive Stone in their inventory prior to death.
 * Having a teammate use a Revive Stone.
 * Killing a Fairy in a Fairy Room.
 * Defeating the corresponding Wandering Soul in The Watcher boss fight.
 * By the passive and  ghost ability of the Healer class.
 * Automatically after 15 seconds on Entrance, 45 seconds on Floor, and 100 seconds on Floor.
 * Entering a boss fight (all teammates in the dungeon are revived beforehand)

Finishing, Scoring and Rewards
The Dungeon is finished when one of the following occurs:
 * The Boss is defeated.
 * All players in the Dungeon have either died and become Ghosts or left the dungeon.
 * 70 minutes pass without defeating the Boss.

Players need not complete every room or kill every mob to complete the dungeon.

At the end of the Dungeon, a Score is assigned to the run depending on how much of the Dungeon has been explored, the number of Secrets found, the number of times the players died, the number of puzzles failed and the time taken to clear the Dungeon. If the Dungeon boss is completed, the player is offered up to six Dungeon Reward Chests, which contain rewards of loot and Essence and can be opened for a cost.

Trivia

 * The skill is most likely a reference to the skill of the same name in RuneScape, where it is mainly leveled up in Daemonheim, where players complete randomly generated dungeons. Likewise, Dungeons uses similar mechanics.
