Dungeon Crawl

Dungeon Crawl Summary

A Dungeon Crawl is a form of instance available to players. It is in opposition to "Normal" instancing which supports respawning mobs for continuous farming. By contrast a Dungeon Crawl instance has a different ruleset based around non-respawning mobs.

Dungeon Crawl (in-game data)

Clear out the zone and you be rewarded for it.

• Nothing you kill will respawn naturally.
• To finish, slay every rare creature and enough of the zone's original population
• You'll earn motes and experience, and anything you killed may add its loot and coin to the reward pool.
• The easier the zone is for you, the smaller the payout
• Finish it and you get you instance charge back.
• Rare creatures show up more often, and you'll see them on your map

FYI Dungeon Crawls work in all 3 planes

Rare named chances are not increased in Dungeon Crawls. They just appear on the map. We've mostly de-PH'd zones
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:45 PM
So the whole rare spawn chance thing doesn't really apply anymore 
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:45 PM
[*Plane of Fear will be interesting, are there any labeled rare creatures there?*]
There are not. And that's a bonus and detriment
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:46 PM
Can continue to run them over and over
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:46 PM
It's based on the level of the zone versus your own.
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:46 PM
All of the Plane of Sky mobs are also considered rare creatures now, too
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:47 PM
If you want extra boss loot rolls (ie; mote chance higher on named) you need to be killing named. On the other hand, you stack up more kills to clear fear
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:48 PM
Dungeons and planes

The total payout at the end is more if there's more higher level kills to make.
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:49 PM
Yes, similar to how doing higher difficulties give higher gear
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:50 PM
You get loot as you kill AND at the end from the chest
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:50 PM
Bosses
They weren't flagged before
*[Can dungeon crawls be done in groups?]*
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:51 PM
Yes. You need to be there for a majority of kills to qualify
Secrets [EQL],  — 8:52 PM
There are solo and multiplayer crawls
[*Is the XP split at the end personalized or split among a group?*]
