Dungeons
Dungeon play is the core of Elsword Online. You will find that each dungeon has its own part in the story and you will eventually get to play all of them. You can play a dungeon by yourself or in a party of up to 4 players.
Party Matching System
Dungeons are best played with a party! While logged on to the game with your character, click the Dungeon button at the right side of the screen. This will open the dungeon selection interface which lets you choose a particular dungeon and its specifications, as well as initiate party matching.
Difficulty
Click the appropriate button to change the dungeon’s difficulty among Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. You cannot select the next difficulty level if you have not completed the difficulty level before it.
Players
The indicated number of players for a dungeon is the minimum number of players the party matching system requires before starting the dungeon instance.
- If the minimum requirement is not met, the current number of players get matched up and receive a power boost for the missing members.
- If only one or two people are matched into a dungeon, two Epic NPCs will take the place of the missing party members.
Level Range
Your equipped items must meet the dungeon’s item level requirement.
Starting a Dungeon
Pressing Start Dungeon or the F8 key will launch the party matching system. The system will try to create a party with up to 4 members of different classes who selected the same difficulty level. You may also choose Start with current members to go immediately into a dungeon by yourself or with your current party members.
Quest Marker
In the maps showing dungeon locations, the Q icon will appear over dungeons where you may accomplish tasks in order to complete a quest in your list. Let Q drive your adventure!
