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. Since Exalt Version 3.3.4.0 (Feb 2023) Dungeon modifiers are skewed positively.
Most Dungeon Keys do not have any modifiers by default, but can be refined to give them random dungeon modifiers (to refine a dungeon key, Ctrl + Left click while in inventory). For 20 Realm Gold, keys can be upgraded to modded D grade keys, and then further upgraded to any grade desired for 20 gold per grade; they can also be rerolled for 16 Gold if the player doesn’t like their modifiers. Keys can also be completely reset or downgraded, although this doesn’t cost any Gold.
The only Dungeon Keys that are guaranteed a modifier are the solo dungeon keys. Introduced in Exalt Version 2.3.2.0 (June 2022), the Solo Skeleton Key was introduced, which allows you to trade the key in for a solo dungeon key of your choice from the following group of dungeons: Lost Halls, Secluded Thicket, Fungal Cavern, High Tech Terror. Although these keys can not be modified any further, they are guaranteed to give you the Mythical ST Gem modifier.
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:
| Easy | Mid | Advanced | Hard |

| Hard | 20% | 5% | 10% | 15% | 30% | 20% |
