Greetings to all new & and old dungeon quests speedrunners alike.

All of the changes that have been updated before will now be merged into one post here instead of separate. This is to now make the forums a bit more cleaner so that every time there won't be filled with hundreds of sticky threads. Every time an update to a website or game-related change has been updated will be put in this post. You should get a notification whenever a new post is added here.

Thank you and Happy Speedrunning. (Changes are being worked on).

Website Changelog 3/31/20

Greetings everyone and fans to Dungeon Quest.

Today I am here to announce 3 new categories that will be for Wave defense, tutorial, and Difficulty%. Wave defense categories are all ranged from the titles you unlock from waves 30/45/100/300. So far, 3 maps from Ghastly, Steampunk, and Orbital Outpost were not made yet. The tutorial is only played on the easy difficulty level. As for Difficulty%, only 2 maps for desert and winter have been added. For the other maps having only insane and the nightmare will not be added by all means.

In regards to the rule list, I have decided to put two separate rules list for main rules and categories. Here is all the rules currently updated as of right now.

------------------------------------Rule List------------------------------------

Requirements:

- Timing begins when the 'Start' text flashes on screen after hitting the start button on the first frame.
- Timing ends on the final hit of the final boss at the last frame.
- All runs must have a timer displayed on the screen. Please note that the in-game timer will not be counted.
- Never send any screenshots by all means.

General Rules:

- Any use of Skill Points/upgrades/gamepasses/cosmetics is allowed.
- Please note that using cosmetics/gamepasses does not gain any unfair advantages and can be optional.
- No glitches/exploits.

Difficulties & Wave Defence:

- Before starting on difficulty runs, you must show what difficulty you are playing on before beginning the run.
- If your playing on Diffculty%; the difficulty must be displayed first and on the last difficulty you played on, after the final hit on the boss.
- Any order of difficulty does not matter.
- After completing one difficulty, any loading transitions will not be timed.
- For wave defense runs; the timer begins on the first frame of 'Wave 1' and on the final frame on Wave 30/45/100/300 regardless if the title shows up or not.
- Any wave defense difficulty does not matter. You will earn the same titles either way.

(If you have any further questions; do not hesitate to send a private message. Rules may be subject to change).

Since the Egg Hunt 2020 event is nearing an end, I have doubled the cosmetic drop rates AGAIN!
If you haven't gotten the cosmetics from doing Egg Island on Nightmare yet, now is your best chance. Goodluck!

The dungeon is complete but I still have some other things I need to do before the update is ready. (balance, loot, cosmetics, etc.)

I also just pushed a change for raids, they now give 65m exp instead of 40m exp to help people get from lvl 130-140 quicker.

Website Changelog: 6/30/20

Greetings to everyone.

Last week ago I added two new things that were added to the speedrun called Item drop% and item drop+%. I wanted to provide more explanations about how those runs would work and how it may affect the current runs that were accepted on the list.

- This was just to experiment on using the drops that you would use when you receive them from dungeons. For example, if you start a run on Desert temple, you would only use the drops that are founded in DT and use them for the Drop% run. This also applies to skill points being used. If you are using drops from Winter outpost and use them on DT; that will apply to the drops+ category that i talked about. If you want to look up all the current drops founded in certain dungeons; feel free to look at the list here: https://dungeonquestroblox.fandom.com/wiki/Dungeons

- Starting later this week or so, The drops% and drops%+ categories will be renamed and used for easy - nightmare difficulties along with the two diffculty% categories. Don't worry, all of the runs that were accepted will not be removed and some will be transferred to the misc categories. You'll see a misc icon that will be located for the + icon that was discussed. If it doesn't work out; it will be moved over at the other misc section where the tutorial category is located.

- As for the new rules, there will be a few new ones to be added soon along with the changes. For the new rules in %; you will be asked to now show the current setup that you will be using only for drops founded in certain dungeons. This will apply to skill points being used as you will be only using a certain number of skill points from leveling up. I was also looking up for speedrun rules that were used in the official dungeon quest discord and I'll be using certain ones that will work as well.

Thank you - GaleS_YT

UPDATE 7/3/20
- Volcanic Chambers dungeon!
- XP boosts purchasable in the store
- Can purchase up to 2 daily reward resets per day
- new cosmetic store
- shift-lock for mobile users
- inventory has a limit of 300 items
- gold shop has 10B option
- quality of life changes and bug patches

Later Update 1:
When you hit the 300 inventory limit, you can no longer receive loot or trade.
You will not lose your items, you just have to sell some.
For anyone complaining about the inventory limit, there was a problem with people hitting the maximum data limit size.
I will not be reverting it as this is 100% necessary.

Oh also, you can use your personal emotes in-game now as long as you don't have an idle animation playing.

Later Update 2:
Okay, I've made some nerfs to the second boss.
I think some of the timings and RNG were a little too much even with good reaction speed.
These should be noticeable immediately.

+ You can no longer be stunned while you are already stunned from the Aggressive Lava Walkers

Resetting game servers for a small update:
- Daily reward now gives loot from Volcanic Chambers!
- New cosmetic store rotation!
- Volcanic Chambers has a rare dungeon armor cosmetic and title.

Posted by Vinny / vCaffy on discord:

07/14/2020

Fixed bug where the armor cosmetic from Volcanic Chambers wasn't counting towards the 3 cosmetic runestone. This will only be live in newer servers, so if you want the runestone now you can join a VIP.

Website Changelog: 7/25/20

Greetings to all Dungeon Quest fans and other speedrunners alike.

As we approach near the end of July, we have a few things that have updated from diffculties, skill points, and rules update to be introduced. I'll be dividing them over to sections just so I can introduce how these changes will work,

1. A look at Difficulties for Regular and Plus Categories:

Over a month ago, I've added an Item Drops and Item Drops+ categories for runs that would help seperate users that use gears higher than the actual dungeons. I didn't want the expection for new players to look at these runs that are using gears not from the dungeons that you get drops from. As I tested this out for an experiment, this has been decided and renamed/modified for regular and plus categories founded in the misc located on which dungeon tab you looked for. I'll explain a bit more in depth on how it works.

--------------Difficulties and Plus categories explanation---------------------

1. For regular runs: You'll be using only drops founded in dungeons and those won't be applied to what difficulty you play on. This will function with a skill point limit as I'll explain that in the next topic.
2. Plus Categories: Those categories will be used for runs that are using gears higher than the dungeon you are playing on. For example, If played on desert temple with using Winter Outpost gear. On top of this, runs will have to be now played on hardcore mode difficulty and can use as many skill points as you like. All plus categories will be located in the misc section on any dungeon tab.

2. Introduction to Skill Points & Limits:

A brief description from the wiki: Skill Points are granted every time a player levels up in Dungeon Quest. This menu can be accessed through the Skills tab located on the left side of the Inventory, or by pressing the large Orange plus (+) button in the top left if there are extra points remaining. The total amount of Skill Points a player has will always remain one point below their current level, as players do not receive a point when starting out. Skill Points can be put into Physical Power, Spell Power, or Stamina.

Starting from all runs (Expect for +), I'll be now introducing a limit rule that will be used for only regular runs. Those will be provided in the category rules section before starting what run. Any skill points that are higher than the threshold provided will be moved to the plus categories located in the misc sections. Here are the limits listed below. (Note: this may not be accurate and could have possible changes).

----------------------------------Skill Points Limit------------------------------

Desert Temple SP: 31
Winter Outpost SP: 58
Pirate Island SP: 68
King's Castle SP: 78
The Underworld SP: 88
Samurai Palace SP: 98
The Canals SP: 108
Ghastly Harbor SP: 118
Steampunk Sewers SP: 128
Orbital Outpost SP: 148
Volcanic Chambers SP: 158

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Egg Island being added?:

I normally would never add anything that would be specified at events in particular; but this will be added for now until the map is removed at some point. When you start the run, you have four options to either pick warrior, mage, healer, or tank to overcome the dungeon. If you interested to start the run, give it a try and become the fastest bunny around.

4. Updated Rule List: Here is currently the Full Ruleset that will now be provided to the site.

----------------------------Updated as of 7/21/20?----------------------------

Requirements:

- Timing begins after hitting the 'Start' button on the first frame and ends on the last frame from the last hit of the final boss.
- A successful run counts as loot being dropped.
- Never send any screenshots by all means.

General Rules:

- Runs must be done solo.
- Any form of cosmetics skins are not allowed. This also applies to body armor (i.e: capes) founded in dungeons.
- Cosmetics that include Weapons, enchantments, or titles are optional.
- No glitches/exploits.

Difficulties & Difficulties+:

If your unsure about what types of gears that are founded in certain dungeons; the wiki link is here: (https://dungeonquestroblox.fandom.com/wiki/DungeonQuestRoblox_Wiki).

- For runs that don't have a plus sign; you must use gears that are founded in dungeons (i.e Desert Temple). Difficulty wise does not apply.
- Runs that have a plus sign can use gears that are higher than the dungeons and must be played on hardcore mode only. (Example: If you use Winter outpost gears on Desert temple; this will be applied to the plus runs as stated).
- Skill Points can be distributed as many times as long as they are specified - in the category rules sections for certain runs (Except for WD, Egg Island, or Tutorial).
- If your playing on Diffculty%; the difficulty must be displayed first and on the last difficulty you played on, after the final hit on the boss.
- Any order of difficulty does not matter.
- After completing one difficulty, any loading transitions will not be timed.

Wave Defence:

- For wave defense runs; the timer begins on the first frame of 'Wave 1' and on the final frame on Wave 30/45/100/300 regardless if the title shows up or not.
- Any wave defense difficulty does not matter. You will earn the same titles either way.

Thank you all for tuning at this and hope you are all happy with the changes as what was provided. If you unsure; you can always message me or any of the moderators provided on what can be adjusted.

Happy speedrunning - GaleS_YT
