Dungeon experience: up to which level

ReferenceBuilt from the game’s data

Why a Dungeon can give “+0 XP”: a location gives experience until it turns grey for your hero. The level up to which every Dungeon gives experience.

A Dungeon gives experience while it suits your level. Just like enemies in the open world, the location has a colour for your hero, judged by the top of its level range (Enemy colour):

  • your level is at or below the top of the range — full experience;
  • you are above it — less experience, and the further above, the less;
  • the location has turned grey for you — no experience at all.

Money, items, enemy materials, recipe scrolls and rare materials don’t depend on your level: they follow the usual rules, including the repeat-clear window (100% → 50% → 0%), which applies to experience as well.

Example: The Fiery Maw (levels 10–15) gives full experience up to level 15, less at 16–23, and none from level 24.

Where the game shows it

  • In the dungeon list an outleveled location has a grey name and a “no XP” tag.
  • On the Dungeon screen, before you enter: “You’ve outleveled this dungeon: no XP (it gives XP up to level N)”, or “XP reduced to X%” while it is only partly outleveled. The reward-window line says “gold” instead of “rewards” when there is no experience.
  • In the run summary — the reason instead of a bare “+0”; in a group — in the result message.

Up to which level each Dungeon gives experience

Raids and World bosses are level 60 locations and always give experience.

How dungeons work

23 dungeons, 6 raids and 3 world bosses: levels, waves before bosses, a single difficulty, full experience for everyone and what happens if you outlevel one.

Repeat clears: 100, 50 and 0%

How often it pays to run a Dungeon, Raid or World boss: a 24-hour or 7-day window from your first clear, rewards of 100/50/0%, and items that always drop.

All dungeons, raids and world bosses

32 locations by level: 23 dungeons, 6 raids, 3 world bosses and 166 bosses — group size and final bosses.

Enemy colour: how the level gap changes XP

Six enemy colours from grey to skull: which level gap each means, how much XP it gives and when you cannot attack at all.
