Dungeoneering is a skill that consists of exploring the dungeons of Daemonheim, fighting monsters and bosses, and using other RuneScape skills to solve puzzles and survive its depths.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.
The skill is trained entirely within the dungeons of Daemonheim (except for 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 quests which gives Dungeoneering XP, such as A Clockwork Syringe and Salt in the Wound.
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 up 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“.
Parties on free-to-play worlds where the average combat level is of 90 or above will receive 50% less experience than parties who are under combat level 90. Players are given this handicap because they will find it easier to go through the lower-floor dungeons than the majority of other free-to-play players. This handicap does affect all players in the party.
