Preparations
Preparations are items, glyphs, gods, or other trinkets that you take with you into dungeons. Preparations typically come at a cost or drawback in some form. Each class building offers their own type of preparation and more options are unlocked upon upgrading their respective building.

Preparation Types
Locker Item
The Guild offers lockers that allow you to store items taken out of dungeons. These items can then be taken back into future dungeons at a cost. Once fully upgraded to Level 3 the Guild provides 6 possible locker slots. Further locker slots are available from the Bank at a very high cost.
If you die in the dungeon or the item is otherwise destroyed (for instance, from desecrating the altar of the Glowing Guardian) then there is a 50 gold reclamation fee before that item can be used again.

Thief Den
The Thief Den contains slightly different preparations from the other class buildings. Upon upgrading the Thief Den to Level 2 the Bet on Boss and Black Market preparations are available, 1 can be selected immediately. Level 3 offers the Smuggler Den and Patches the Teddy preparations. Another slot may be filled at the cost of 100g. Two of these benefits are gold-related, while the other two are double-edged in nature.
Name | Cost | Description |
---|---|---|
Bet on Boss | 5 | Receive 50% markup on the dungeon's Trophy at the Taxidermist |
Black Market | 15 | All gold piles in the dungeon will contain +1 gold |
Smuggler Den | 10 | Places two level 1 monsters and one of each booster in a special subdungeon near the starting point. |
Patches the Teddy | 15 | Provides a random positive and negative effect when the adventurer levels. |
Church
Gods can be selected from the Church to have a temple spawn in the next dungeon. There are always caveats to forcing a god to spawn and it will still come at a cost to the adventurer. The Pactmaker can never be prepared in this fashion. Once you've unlocked every deity, you may instead prepare a fourth altar.
