can someone explain dungeons like im 5 years old

[north cape]

want to try out new pve content, but no clue what a dungeon is, when i should do one, and if i need special gear or anything

[tacit forge]

any dungeon specifically? (not ghosts)

[dense scroll]

Dungeons are 3man activities that have a fixed difficulty if youre not underlight. You can go in as a duo trio or solo, your choice. You can do them at any point.

I only recommend having a decent build so you dont die too often and have a rocket or a LFR for damaging the bosses

pretty much every boss is designed for rockets or LFRs (Excluding very few)

[north cape]

lets say the beyond light dungeon (no clue what its called)

[north cape]

thanks a lot! is it better to do those than strikes for loot?

[tacit forge]

there was a beyond light dungeon?

[dense scroll]

much better yes. but they're also a bit morre difficult

[dense scroll]

beyond light has no dungeon

[tacit forge]

and they are not matchmade, so you have to get a premade team together

[nimble stratus]

Think of Dungeons as being higher than a Strike but less than a Raid. A sort of "introduction" to Raids,

as all Dungeons will have simple mechanics to follow that progress the encounter and each Dungeon contains its own unique loot you can only get from those specific dungeons

[tacit forge]

some loot good, some not so much. most dungeons nowadays are either for the exotic, or for fun

[north cape]

:( i swear it had a dungeon

something something crypt

[dense scroll]

thats a raid

raids are 6man activites. like dungeons but with more mechanics and more difficult bosses

[north cape]

those dont have matchmaking, right?

[dense scroll]

Dungeons i'd say are practice for raids, raids can be more complex

[dense scroll]

neither have matchmaking

you gotta find your teammates beforehand or go in with friends

[north cape]

so if ive gotten to the first level cap, i should be trying dungeons now?

[dense scroll]

we have #dungeons where u can ask for dungeons (include that youve never done one before) and raids have their own chat each

[dense scroll]

1800 is good enough

[north cape]

great, ill try one later today

[tacit forge]

#find-a-sherpa if you want to learn it in a run, but no matter where you are, if you are not confident in knowing and doing the mechanics, never join a "KWTD" group

[dense scroll]

just check out #tutorial

[north cape]

what does KWTD stand for?
