Dungeons are areas in which you attempt to find the boss room and defeat the monsters you encounter on the way. Every new dungeon room that you enter uses 1 Fatigue Point. If you enter with a party, EXP will be multiplied at the end and then split amongst all members.

Defeating the boss in the boss room will automatically finish the dungeon, all other enemies will count as defeated and give EXP.

With the Great Metastasis, monsters now have their HP scaled according to the number of Party members. However, this mostly applies for the new dungeons.

Dungeon Types

There are different types of dungeons in DFO:

• Normal: Your normal dungeons. No entry fees and few gimmicks. Defeat the boss to clear the dungeon.

• Scenario: Dungeons during Epic Quests progression. Has unique map layout and monsters depending on the current progression of the Epic Quest.

• Loop of Circulation: Dungeons that randomly generates a corresponding region's lineup, following the end of a Epic Quest's progression and excludes Scenario-based map layouts.

Dungeon Difficulty Settings

Only the Normal difficulty level is initially unlocked when you gain access to a new dungeon. You must first meet certain requirements in order to unlock higher difficulty levels. Once you have unlocked a difficulty, that difficulty is unlocked for all your characters.

	Normal	Normal is the initial difficulty for all dungeons. To gain initial access to a dungeon you must reach the minimum level required, clear a prior dungeon, or accept a certain epic quest.
	Expert	Expert is the second available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Normal mode with an A rank or higher. Enemies gain a small boost in hit rate and HP while you have a small drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently.
	Master	Master is the third available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Expert mode without using Life Tokens with an S rank or higher without being attacked more than 20 times. It is only available in Antwer Canyon dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a moderate boost in hit rate and health while you have a moderate drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on Expert.
	King	King is the fourth available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Master mode without using Life Tokens with an SSS rank without being attacked more than 10 times. It is only available in Antwer Canyon dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a great boost in hit rate and health while you have a large drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on Master.
	Slayer	Slayer is the fifth available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's King mode without using Life Tokens with an SSS rank without being attacked more than 5 times. It is only available in Time Gate dungeons and beyond. Enemies have a massive boost in hit rate and health while you have an even larger drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on King. As of Season 7 Act 02, Slayer is now implemented within the Level 110 Normal Dungeons.
-	Hell	Special mode that allows you to fight powerful enemies for the chance to get Epic items. Hell Mode features a room with a pink boss icon somewhere on the map. Once you reach the icon, there will be a locked portal from Hell. Every time you hit it a monster may spawn. Once all the monsters are spawned and eliminated, hit it a few more times and then the Hell Party will spawn. See Hell Mode for more in-depth information.

Heroic Mode

Originally introduced within KDnF's Second Impact Update on December 17th, 2009, Hero's Road started off as a fifth difficulty that not only gave monsters a larger increase in stats and adding new champion variants, but bosses themselves are given brand-new attacks during their fights. With the Global Client release of Season 7. Heroic Mode would later make its return now as a separate entity within the Normal Level 110 dungeons after clearing them on Slayer once per run. A certain amount of Adventurer Fame will be required to enter the Heroic' version with its own difficulties, as monsters receive a far more substantial stat boost, while carrying over certain traits to further challenge Players.

To compensate for how powerful monsters are, a local weakness system is implemented in all four dungeon areas, to where they'll each have a randomized and decreased resistance to a specific Element and Abnormal Status. For example; White Land on Hero-Slayer could have lowered  Fire Resistance with  Burn (Status) or King's Cradle might carry lowered  Water Resistance with  Freeze (Status), giving players who specialize in either field the advantage. Local Weakness changes every six hours and has a daily reset at 9:00 UTC.

• Elemental & Abnormal Resistance Reduction Values
  • (Hero-Normal) -10%|-5% (Hero-Expert) -20%|-10% (Hero-Master) -30%|-15% (Hero-King) -40%|-20% (Hero-Slayer) -50% |-25%)
  •  Fire Resistance ||  Burn (Status)
  •  Water Resistance ||  Freeze (Status)
  •  Light Resistance ||  Shock (Status)
  •  Shadow Resistance ||  Poison (Status)

Rewards

• After the boss is defeated two rows of reward cards that might contain gold and/or equipment will appear. The number of bosses and mini-bosses that were defeated are added up and increase the chance of receiving rare items along with the gold.
  • the player will have three seconds in which to choose one card from each of the two rows (a total of two cards, one regular, one gold).
    • the player can choose to only turn over one normal card or both the normal and gold cards.
  • There is one card in each row that contains nothing regardless of how many enemies are defeated.
    • The first row's cards are free. The second row requires a gold amount that varies depending on the dungeon and is listed on the card.
  • There is a possibility of obtaining rare equipment from the cards that are unavailable elsewhere.
    • See the Dungeon Drop Guide for information about dungeon locations that might drop items in the level range you are interested in.
  • During some events, the middle row may open up, allowing for an additional card to be obtained (up to three max).

Ranks

As of Act V, your rank is now calculated by the Combo Rate. Basically, in order to get a high rank, you or your party needs to constantly keep hitting the enemies to create long combos. The longer the combo, the more the Combo Rate will grow. The higher your total Combo Rate, the better your rank.

End Dungeon Experience Bonus

Players will receive experience at the end of every dungeon. The base experience is the total experience from killing monsters. The experience is then boosted by a set percentage based on several factors:

Rank

Extra EXP is gained depending on your dungeon Rank. A higher Combo Rate increases the Rank.

Party

Gives extra EXP if you are in a Party of 2 or more. Base XP is split evenly among party members. This "bonus" effectively negates the Base XP split of having party members.

Custom Channel

Gives a 5% bonus if you're in the correct channel corresponding to a dungeon. Highlight the Channels to see what dungeons are affected by the bonus EXP.

Guild Express

Gives EXP based on the Stage of the Guild Express. Ranges from 3-10% extra EXP.

Creature

Gives extra EXP for having a Creature equipped.

Region

Gives extra EXP for being in the correct Region. You can see if you get the Regional Bonus if you switch channels and the notice pops up in the chat.

Avatar

Gives extra EXP for having Avatars equipped.

Burning Time & Growth Potion

Gives extra EXP if an Event or Growth Potion is in effect. The EXP gained is dependent on the Event or Potion used. Growth Potions will not stack with events that increase EXP gained.

Returned Hero

Gives a 20% EXP bonus if you Party with a Returned Hero.

Mentorship

Grants extra EXP if characters in the Party are in a Mentorship.

Raids

Added in a Global Server update during 2016, Raids in DFO are generally depicted as high-scaled, endgame content that comes in several phases, eventually culminating with Boss fights, and introduces multiple mechanics. Each Raid implentented has pre-requisites that are needed to be fulfilled before gaining access with either a group of 12 ~ 16 players to coordinate with one another, or solo modes within a certain time limit.

These are completely optional to participate and depending on the Raid you're choosing, they offer various rewards such as  Undaunted Determinations, Monster Cards, and Materials required for upgrading your characters' equipment.
