Dungeons Rework
Article written by Felixfex:
With the exception of the Timelost Sanctum (formerly known as the Lost Sanctuary or Animal Dungeon), each Dungeon had an associated quest. Previously, these quests were required to access the dungeon, but this is no longer the case.
Completing a Dungeon rewards the Fragments/Token, a bit of XP, a few Emeralds and occasionally falling unidentified items. Every dungeon has both a minimum level requirement and a recommended level for completion.
A Dungeon Key is required to enter any dungeon. These keys are dropped by Key Guardians, which are powerful monsters found in areas with levels corresponding to their respective dungeons. Key Guardians consistently spawn in the same locations, so once you find a spawn point, they will reappear there after a short time.
Fragments vs. Tokens
Article written by Felixfex:
Upon completing a dungeon, you will receive three untradable Fragments and one untradable Boss Token.
Located near each dungeon entrance is a Dungeon Merchant NPC from whom you can purchase various items. Boss Tokens can be exchanged for armor, weapons, necklaces, bracelets, and rings (generally with a few fragments also required). These items come pre-identified and are untradable, so you will need to complete the dungeons yourself to obtain them. The cost of these items ranges from one to six Tokens each.
Fragments are also used to buy Gathering Tools of corresponding levels/tiers to the dungeon, and these tools are tradable with other players.
Corrupted vs. Uncorrupted
Article written by Felixfex:
As of September 2025, Wynncraft features 18 dungeons: 10 Regular and 8 Corrupted. Corrupted Dungeons are higher-level, more challenging variants of their Regular counterparts. Additionally, Regular Dungeons offer a “second chance” if you die during a run.
While the Regular Dungeons have been significantly reworked over the years including the addition of more complex boss mechanics, the Corrupted Dungeons for the most part retain their original gameplay style as of writing.
Regular Dungeons are scattered throughout the in-game world, whereas all Corrupted Dungeons are accessed through the Forgery, a structure built in Gavel.
To enter Corrupted Dungeons, you will need Corrupted Keys. These can be crafted by obtaining Broken Keys from Corrupted Key Guardians (or through Lootruns) and repairing them at the Keyforge Merchant in the Forgery. The crafting process requires specific runes (Nii, Uth, Tol).
For a detailed list of dungeons, including their level requirements, associated quests, locations, and bosses, visit this wiki page. A list of corrupted keys and their crafting costs can be found on this wiki page.
Managing Key States
Article written by Felixfex:
Currently, there are 5 states of (broken or regular) dungeon keys that you can end up with:
- Keys dropped by Key-Guardians.
- Keys from World Events and Lootruns.
- Keys that have interacted with the Trade Market / Bank.
- The “Different” Keys (usually bugged).
- Old Keys.
Many keys dont stack!
But they can be converted as follows:
- The Market can convert keys of the 2nd state into keys of the 3rd. The market does not impact the state of keys in the 1st or 4th states.
- Your Bank can convert keys from the 2nd state to the 3rd state and vise versa, after reloading with /class or switching worlds. This means that keys of the 2nd and 3rd state tend to stack after a while, thus becoming the majority of your keys.
- Through encountering assorted bugs, you can by accident convert keys of the 2nd and 1st state to keys of the 4th, such that they dont stack directly with any other stack. This occurs rarely.
- Lastly Lootrun keys can be any state other then the 5th, they mostly stack with 2nd state keys. Putting them on the market converts them into keys of the 2nd and 3rd state. (The vast majority of keys are generated by lootruns).
- There are some old keys introduced before the “dungeon info” lore and associated coloured names were introduced. These don’t stack at all with the other keys, and have some (albeit negligable) value as collectors items. Note that this is different from legacy keys (keys for dungeons that no longer exist), which are in a different value ballpark altogether.
TLDR: You will most likely end up with two different key stacks for each key that is dropped and for event reward keys.(edited)

??? (Quest)
??? is a Lvl 80 quest simply titled ”???” in the in-game quest book with no further information as to how to start or complete it. When it first came out, information about it was scarce, but today, its progression is widely known. You can find out how to complete it by reading the wiki page or by asking an experienced player to lead you through the process.
Note that you will need two players besides yourself to begin the quest and three players besides yourself to complete the quest. It doesn’t matter if they’ve already done it or not; they can assist you regardless. If you want to do it all in one go, make sure you have three people to help you. You cannot complete it alone.
One of the rewards for completing ??? is the Cosmic Set, a set of armor useful for its high XP bonus. This set can be used for XP grinding at high levels, so long as you are able to survive while wearing it.
