Summary of "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
- Craft up to tier 10 necro gear using:
- 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
