Dungeons (Online)

In, Dungeons are special instances that you or a group is able to interact with privately, that is, without interference from other players. They are essentially scaled-up quest locations, and contain one or two quests, several bosses and monsters that roam in large packs. All dungeons contain Skyshards, chests, and at least one collectible book.

With the exception of solo and public dungeons, all dungeons will scale to you or your group leader's level, but do not scale below the level they are introduced. For example, Fungal Grotto begins scaling to your level from level 12 but does not scale below that.

While Dungeons are usually not actual dungeons, the term has been universally used by many other MMO and RPG players to refer to any kind of indoor or outdoor instance that is separate from the main world. Dungeons can be solo (these are called Delves), optimized for a private group or can be a Public Dungeon, which is a mix of both. Additionally, there are Trials, which are made for 12-man groups and are different from normal dungeons. Trials are also called Raids, which is an MMO term used for a large group instance.

There are exactly 144 dungeons and Trials in game (145 if you include the Dragonstar Arena), and 136 are dungeons, delves and other group instances, the other 3 are Trials. There are 6 delves, 1 public dungeon and 1 group dungeon per zone, with the exception of Khenarthi's Roost, Betnikh, Stros M'kai, Bleakrock and Bal Foyen, which have no dungeons at all, and Craglorn, which has no solo or public dungeons but has 29 group dungeons, 30 if you count the Dragonstar Arena.

Modes
Dungeons have two modes which determine both the difficulty, type of monsters, quests, explorable area and storyline in the dungeon. The first is Normal mode, which is the mode of the dungeon when it is first introduced. The second is Veteran Mode which unlocks a new storyline, new quests, a new explorable area of the dungeon and a new difficulty optimized for Veteran Rank players.

Not all dungeons have Veteran modes, but more are continuously added through updates. The most recent dungeon to get the Veteran mode treatment is the City of Ash, which it received in Update 5 (November 3rd, 2014).

Pledges
Every real-world day, a player above Level 45 has access to Pledges, which are tasks given by the Undaunted for a player and their group to go into a random group dungeon to earn special rewards.

There are two types of pledges, a non-veteran pledge and a Veteran pledge, which are unlocked at Level 45 and Veteran Rank 1, respectively. Non-veteran pledges will send your group into a normal dungeon while a Veteran pledge sends your group into a Veteran dungeon.

Upon defeating a boss, each player will receive a special key which is used to unlock special chests and Undaunted enclaves in each of the three alliance capitals (Mournhold, Wayrest, and Elden Root). There are bronze, silver and gold chests, and to open one requires the corresponding key obtained from the final boss of a dungeon which is selected at random.

While a key is guaranteed to drop if your group is completing the specific daily pledge for that dungeon, the quality of the key is determined by both the type of pledge and whether optional objectives have been fulfilled. When a chest is opened, you have a chance to receive special rewards such as special armor and weapon sets, among others, and the rewards are better with the higher the quality of the chest opened.
