Delving into Dungeoneering Remastered with @RheyoRS

Game storyline / setting

• Deamonheim (Gielinor/Dungeoneering environment) remains the core setting, but Dungeoneering Remastered (for RuneScape) upgrades the system to match modern gameplay standards while preserving the original Dungeoneering core values and gameplay loop.
• The update is positioned as a remaster, not a remake—the dungeon “spelunking” experience should feel familiar, with reduced friction and a refreshed presentation.

Gameplay highlights (what’s changing and why it matters)

Core experience: smoother entry + less pre-run friction

• You can now start a dungeon without banking beforehand:
  • Banking prior to starting is no longer required
  • Use the Ring of Kinship to begin quickly
• This is designed to remove tedious steps—especially for players who typically “overload before a run.”

Grouping and progression: redesigned XP and reruns

• More flexible grouping:
  • You can group with anyone you want, including main accounts and Iron accounts together.
• Floor XP system overhauled to reduce progression friction:
  • Previously, rerunning completed floors gave ~50% potential XP, discouraging running with friends at different progression points.
  • Now, experience is tied to your Dungeoneering level (instead of the old prestige/floor XP approach).
  • Floors are designed to provide 100 XP per floor level.
  • Rerunning no longer carries penalties for checked/off floors, improving reliability for group play.
• Unique floors still matter:
  • Prestige is replaced by floor buffs from unique floor completion.

Unique floor buffs and scaling rewards

Completing a unique floor grants stacking buffs from:

• 1% XP reduction for dying in a dungeon
• 2% chance of extra resources
• 1% skilling experience boost
• 1% damage reduction

Additionally, for every 5th unique floor you unlock:

• A 10% floor experience buff for future runs
• Stacks up to 120% after completing all 60 floors
• This boost is applied on the end-of-dungeon screen alongside other modifiers.

Visual refresh and encounter updates

• Updated floor visuals, including special mention of occult floors for their eerie aesthetic.
• Occult/necromancy integration:
  • You can use the necromancy combat style
  • Necro gear crafting:
    • Craft up to tier 10 necro gear using:
      • Bars (from smithing)
      • Cloth (from crafting)
    • Requires using a ritual site
    • Tier 11 gear comes from boss drops
  • Ritual site functions include producing:
    • Ectopplasm for summons
    • Impure essence for necromancy runes
  • Expect new necromancy monsters in delves.
• Monsters and bosses in Deamonheim get a small buff:
  • They’re tougher, but not enough to break the fast “hack and slash” flow.

Quality-of-life (QoL) improvements for dungeon navigation

• Door keys appear on the minimap
• The dungeon map shows what locked rooms need, including whether access requires:
  • a key, or
  • a skill door
• Skill doors no longer have a hard level requirement:
  • Your relevant skill level increases the chance to unlock
  • This means you can still fully unlock a dungeon if you’re willing to fail a few times

Smuggler improvements

• New loadout slots and extra bind slots
• New storage system with the smuggler
• Major convenience change:
  • After you defeat the boss, the smuggler teleports you to the end of the dungeon
  • If you forget to bind a targeted drop, the narrator frames it as a “skill issue.”

Rewards and meta implications

New ruinous (tier 90) weapon progression

• New tier 90 ruinous weapons:
  • Provide tier 90 damage
  • Tier 100 accuracy and tier 100 damage specifically vs Deamonheim creatures
• Acquisition flow:
  • Obtain a tradeable Warp Stone from warped floors
  • Use Warp Stones + tokens to buy your preferred ruinous weapon
  • The purchased ruinous weapon becomes untradeable

New chaotic grimmooire pocket item

• Chaotic Grimmooire:
  • 7% crit chance
  • Recharge cost: 2k tokens per page

Necromancy gear and ruinous set expansion

• Necromancy gets its own Deamonheim-themed sets:
  • Chaotic set
  • Gravite set
  • Power amulets
  • Ruinous weapon set
• Chaotic weapons cost reduced dungeonering:
  • Only require 70 dungeoneering, better matching the progression curve.

Additional shop unlocks and cosmetics

• Archaeology scroll: chance to bank materials when excavating
• Retro celestial robes
• Ferret pet (“Th’s worst nightmare”):
  • Obtain multiple color variants for fashion
• Edeto pet converted to a companion pet:
  • Highlighted as a payoff for players who spent a long time grinding it.

Special bonus: official speedrunning system

• Official speedrunning system launches May 18 (one week after the remaster).
• Speedrun categories:
  • Every floor type from Frozen through Warped
  • Each has bronze / silver / gold achievements
  • For both:
    • solo
    • and groups of five
• Rewards/recognition:
  • Achievement title includes the color flex
• Added quick chat options for bragging/flexing during runs:
  • The video notes that in-game high scores and website rankings can reveal exaggeration.
