Dungeon Modifiers are a system introduced in Exalt Version 2.0.1.0 (Aug 2021) during Month of the Mad God 2021 designed to increase the replay value of dungeons by giving them a chance to have modified rulesets upon spawning.
When a Dungeon portal is dropped, the dungeon has a chance of being assigned a grade which starts from D and increases up to S. The grade determines the maximum number of modifiers the dungeon will have as well as the “intensity” of the modifiers it can gain; Grade D dungeons can only have 2 modifiers, Grade C-A ones can have 3, and Grade S dungeons can have 4.
Dungeon modifiers can be both positive or negative, with each one having a positive or negative “weight” depending on its individual grade. The game will always try to balance these weights, meaning that it will attempt to spawn dungeons that have a roughly equal level of positive and negative modifiers. For example, a stronger negative modifier will likely be balanced out by a strong positive modifier to compensate.
Dungeon Keys do not have any modifiers, but can be refined to give them random dungeon modifiers (to refine a dungeon key, Ctrl + Left click while in inventory). For a Realm Gold fee, keys can be upgraded to modded D grade keys, and then further upgraded to any grade desired; they can also be rerolled for Gold if the player doesn’t like their modifiers. Keys can also be completely reset or downgraded, although this doesn’t cost any Gold.
Naturally spawned dungeons (eg. not opened using keys) are sorted into 4 grades roughly based on difficulty, which affects their chances of having modifiers as well as their chances to have higher-level modifiers. Info on the categories and chances can be found below:
