Difficulty scaling

Difficulty and rarity are independent. These are the base difficulty multipliers before map modifiers and character/server bonuses.

Difficulty	Monster HP	Monster damage	Monster EXP	Crafting gold multiplier
Normal	×1	×1	×1	×1
Hard	×2	×1.3	×1.75	×2
Expert	×3.2	×1.9	×2	×3
Master	×5	×2.8	×3	×4
Torment	×8	×4	×4	×5
Hell	×13	×6	×5	×6

Rewards from pressure

Danger rolls contribute pressure according to their severity; helpful combat rolls reduce it, never below zero. For Bombardment a shorter interval means more danger. Pressure is deliberately not capped at 100. Reward-only modifiers do not create extra pressure.

Map bonus	How it is calculated
EXP	Scholar + floor(0.3 × pressure) percent, on top of base difficulty EXP.
Equipment / gold loot	Bountiful + 10 × (tier number − 1) + floor(0.6 × pressure) percent.
Matching dungeon Set Pieces	Artisan + 15 × (tier number − 1) + floor(0.8 × pressure) percent.
Completion Dust bonus	Cartographer + floor(1.5 × pressure) percent.

Tier numbers are Normal 1 through Hell 6. These are relative bonuses to eligible rewards, not percentage points added to every drop chance. A displayed +100% bonus doubles the eligible rate before its cap; it does not make every item guaranteed. WAD Coins, gems, keys, essences and cartography materials are excluded from the equipment/Set Piece map bonuses. Family Set Pieces use their dedicated bonus.

Guaranteed Set Pieces still benefit. When a matching Set Piece has a 100% base roll, its rolled quantity is increased by the map bonus, with random rounding of fractions. For example, a base roll of 1 piece with +50% gives 1 or 2 pieces, averaging 1.5. This can exceed the base amount listed in the boss table.

Completion Dust
Base Dust = tier number × (5 + rarity number), with Plain 1, Inscribed 2, Rare 3, Exalted 4.
Reward = floor(base Dust × (1 + Dust bonus / 100)).
If all counted monsters die before the boss dies, add at least 1 Dust or floor(10% of base Dust), whichever is larger. A Purifier seal replaces that 10% with 30%; it is not an additional 30% on top.

Dangerous combinations

Example: Master Rare, Ferocious 60% + Berserk 60% + Elemental Surge 80%
Those maximum rolls total 100 pressure. An elemental monster hit below 30% monster health scales by 1.6 × 1.6 × 1.8 = 4.608× from these three rolls, on top of Master's 2.8× base damage. Gear protection is then important against the rolled element. This is an illustration before defences and other modifiers, not a prediction of the final damage you will take.

The same example gives +30% map EXP, +90% eligible equipment/gold loot, +125% matching Set Pieces and +150% Dust. Master Rare has 32 base Dust: 80 completion Dust, or 83 after a full clear before the boss. These values assume no other modifiers or Purifier seal.

• Elemental Surge converts existing fire/energy/ice/earth/holy/death hit components to the rolled element and increases them. It does not convert physical hits, healing, mana drain, life drain or condition damage. Map blasts use the same rolled element.
• A normal 18%-max-HP blast becomes 32.4% before protection with an 80% Surge. Ferocious and Berserk increase monster hits, not these ground blasts.
• Limited leech + Wounded land penalizes both life-leech recovery and received healing. At 65% less life leech and 60% less healing, the remaining life-leech healing is 35% × 40% = 14% of the unpenalized amount, before other effects.
• Sticky ground + Bombardment + damage rolls can make a survivable encounter dangerous when you cannot move out of the warning. Ground hazards have a two-second warning.
• Armoured makes physical damage less effective. Elemental ward protects the listed element; Exposed element weakens it. Select your damage type after reading the roll.

Shelter	2–3 shelter rooms	Cleared pockets around the centres of 2–3 rooms. Map hazards avoid those pockets, but monsters may enter; there is no protection-zone immunity.	—

The same family cannot appear twice. Locked modifiers are preserved on family/value rerolls. Value rerolls also preserve the rolled element. Filling slots selects only compatible families.

Sealed contracts

Only Rare or Exalted maps of Master tier or higher can be sealed. Sealing picks one of the two contracts at random and permanently freezes the map. You can still run, sell or salvage it.

Contract	Requirement / reward
Commanders	Three base enemies are marked as commanders. Defeat all three and reach 95% clear to unlock the boss. Commanders have elite bonuses and a distinct black skull.
Purifier	A full clear before the boss grants 30% of base Dust (minimum 1) as the full-clear bonus, instead of 10%. The boss still unlocks at 95%; killing it early forfeits this full-clear bonus.
