Arcana:

Each session of ''Desktop Dungeons'' is played in a randomly generated 20x20 block dungeon. Dungeons are populated with [[monsters|enemies]], altars to [[gods]], [[glyphs]], powerups, gold, and [[items|stores]].

==Overview==
There are 6 types of dungeons in the game.

== Normal Dungeon ==
This is the standard game mode. The normal dungeon is created with the following objects:

* 39 of any of the unlocked [[Monsters]]. The monster levels are distributed as such: 10x L1, 5x L2, 4x L3, 4x L4, 4x L5, 3x L6, 3x L7, 3x L8, 2x L9 and 1x L10. This grants a total of 149 Experience (just enough for Level 8) to be earned before confronting the boss, unless the various ways of gaining [[Level|bonus experience]] are utilised.
* 3 each of the following items: Health Powerup, Mana Powerup, Attack Powerup, Health Potion and Mana Potion. A [[Classes|Thief]] will cause 4 of each to be created.
* 10 piles of gold, randomly containing 1 to 3 gold each. A [[Thief]] will have 3 extra piles of gold spawned for them. An additional pile of gold will also be created for every 2 Classes that complete the [[Snake Pit]] Challenge. This creates a maximum of 19 piles of gold, and 22 for Thieves.
* 3 [[Items|Shops]]. A [[Tinker]] will cause 6 more shops to be created, and an extra shop will appear for every 3 Classes that complete the [[Factory]] Challenge. This creates a maximum of 9 shops, and 15 for Tinkers.
* 5 [[Glyphs]]. Both [[Thief]] and [[Wizard]] will cause an extra Glyph to be spawned. The starting Glyph placed at the feet of certain classes does not count towards the 5. No two Glyphs will be the same, but one of them will always be BURNDAYRAZ. Glyphs may also appear for sale in shops, once their rank has been achieved.
* 3 Altars, each randomly assigned to one of the 10 [[Gods]]. No two altars will be to the same God.

== Ranked ==
Ranked is unlocked when a player completes the normal dungeon with all standard [[classes]]. Ranked is otherwise like a normal dungeon except that monsters have 20% more Attack and Health and [[Scoring|scores]] may be submitted online.

== Challenge dungeons ==
The remaining 4 types are challenge dungeons, having very specific enemy types and unique appearances. Every challenge dungeon has two [[bosses]] instead of one. There are also four non-boss enemy types that only appear in these challenge dungeons.

=== Snake pit ===

Populated by naga, serpents and gorgons. Players will fight Nidhogg and Medusa.
Every 2 Classes that complete this challenge will cause an extra pile of gold to be spawned in the dungeons.

=== Library ===

Populated by warlocks, dragonspawn and imps. Players will fight Aequitas and the Matron of Flame.
Every Class that completes this challenge will increase the Item Rank Limit for [[Items|shops]] by 1.

=== Crypt ===

Populated by zombies, wraiths and vampires. Players will fight the Tormented One and Frank the Zombie.
Every Class that completes this challenge will increase the maximum amount of gold you can carry by 5.

=== Factory ===

Populated by meat men, animated armour and golems. Players will fight Iron Man and Super Meat Man.
Every 3 Classes that complete this challenge will cause an extra [[Items|shop]] to be spawned in the dungeons.

=== The Boss Hive (v0.2) ===

Populated by every type of enemy in the game. Monsters all have increased stats and boss abilities.
Completing this dungeon with 4 Classes unlocks a "Special Class"

[[File:HeroAssassin.png|25px]] <<big>There is a bonus Class/Race combo in v2.0 you unlock from beating the Boss Hive with four different classes. Since it's seemingly unlikely that I'll get it anytime soon, if you have it and are reading this then I implore you for the sake of my sanity to update these ([[Races]], [[Classes]]) pages with its information. Even if you never read this, please update the pages! I really want to know what this creature is and what it does.</big>

Here to update the general info pages ([[Races]], [[Classes]], [[Dungeon]], etc.) if something is seriously out of date.

Gameplay-wise, I'm a decent [[File:HeroAssassin.png|25px|link=Assassin]] player, but mediocre at everything else.

__NOTOC__
==Regular Races==
There are seven regular races, each of which can convert [[glyphs]] (magic spells/skills) into a different permanent bonus.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="border-collapse: collapse;" class
|- style="background-color: #EEEEEE"
!Race
!Converts glyphs to...
!Unlock
!Strategy
|-
| Human
| +10% Damage Bonus
| Start
| Great for beginners and Rogues/Berserkers
|-
| Elf
| +2 Maximum Mana
| Start
| Amazing Wizards.
|-
| Dwarf
| +1 Max Health per level*
| Start
| Good for fighters and monks. Decent all-around.
|-
| Halfling
| +1 Healing Potion
| Start
| Great for many challenge missions, and for thieves.
|-
| Gnome
| +1 Mana Potion
| Start
| Great for thieves.
|-
| Goblin
| +5 Experience (+10 gold pre v0.2)
| Defeat the [[Crypt]] challenge with any race.
| Extra experience at will makes leveling up to heal much easier. Good for Assassins.
|-
| Orc
| +2 Base Damage (+5 experience pre v0.2)
| Defeat the [[Library]] challenge with any race.
| Good for classes with high damage bonuses, like Rogues and Berserkers.
|}

* Health Powerups and the Dwarf's Glyph Conversion gives you 1 Max Health per Level. This means the bonus scales while you level up, your total bonus Max Health equals Level * (Dwarf Conversion + Health Powerups). This is NOT a percentage bonus. Buying a +10 Max Health item will not increase the bonus from Health Powerups or Dwarf's Glyph Conversion, and likewise worshipping Dracul will not decrease the bonus.

In addition, 3 special races exist as unlockables, that are a both a race and class together. Each of these three cause significant changes to the core mechanics of the game.
