RS3 Leagues Dungeoneering Guide

Written by Andrew Hammel

Dungeoneering in RuneScape 3 Leagues is not as dominant as combat or Slayer, but it still matters for tasks, tokens, and unlocks. Catalyst League changes the pace of training with boosted XP and relics, so it’s worth knowing the fastest way to handle the skill.

The best way to train Dungeoneering in Catalyst League is by combining Necklace trinket XP, Slayer-style Elite Dungeons, and quests that hand out large Dungeoneering rewards. Regular floor grinding in Daemonheim is rarely efficient unless you are chasing specific tasks or farming tokens.

Early Dungeoneering Levels

The fastest start is the quest You Are It. Digging up Necklace trinkets gives about 40,000 base XP, and with multipliers this jumps straight to level 50+ Dungeoneering. Save them for when your multiplier is high, since the XP boost scales with it.

Low floors like Frozen or Abandoned are easy League tasks, but the XP is weak compared to Elite Dungeon clears. Do just enough to tick tasks, then move on.

Dungeoneering Tasks in Leagues

A few tasks in Daemonheim are simple League points:

Complete a Frozen floor.
Defeat the Rammernaut.
Use a reward item like gem bag, bonecrusher, or charming imp.

These are quick to do at low levels, especially with boosted damage from relics. Beyond that, you don’t need to grind standard dungeons unless you enjoy them.

Quest Experience for Dungeoneering

Several quests give large chunks of XP and double as League task progression:

Salt in the Wound – 5,000 XP
A Clockwork Syringe – 5,000 XP
Nadir saga – 21,670 XP
Thok It To ‘Em saga – 37,080 XP
Thok Your Block Off saga – 53,440 XP
One of a Kind – 45,000 XP
Remains of the Necrolord – 50,000 XP

Doing these skips a huge part of the grind. With multipliers, some of them push you dozens of levels at once.

Dungeoneering Token Farming

Tokens are the main reward for running dungeons, and several key items are locked behind them. In Leagues, you’ll want gem bag, herbicide, bonecrusher, and charming imp for convenience. Each costs around 2,000–34,000 tokens.

The best way to farm tokens in Catalyst League:

Rush low floors – Fast solo small floors are better for tokens per hour than dragging through large complexity 6 runs. Stick to the lowest available floors and reset often.
Group runs – If you team up, medium floors with 2–3 players scale quickly and give strong token rates. With Leagues’ boosted damage, bosses melt in seconds.
Elite Dungeon 3 (Shadow Reef) – Once you have relics and gear, this becomes the best hybrid farm. You get massive combat XP and tokens from completion at the same time.
Token doubling events – Leagues don’t change the base token system, so boosts like daily challenges and scrolls of efficiency still apply if you’ve unlocked them.

At 4x XP, you’ll naturally rack up far more tokens per hour than in the main game, so farming goes much faster than expected.

Relics and Dungeoneering

Relics don’t affect normal floor mechanics much since you can’t bring items into Daemonheim. The real synergy is when you train with Elite Dungeons, since combat relics like Barbarism, Bombardment, or Crit Happens make waves of mobs die instantly.

At tier 5 and higher, Dungeoneering becomes less about the old-school grind and more about clearing Elite Dungeon 3 or Shadow Reef runs for massive combat XP that also counts as Dungeoneering XP.

Supporting Skills and Unlocks

Slayer training indirectly boosts Dungeoneering because Elite Dungeon clears scale with combat. High Necromancy, Magic, and Ranged make Shadow Reef especially easy to farm.

If you plan to complete Area Tasks, some require partial Dungeoneering or sagas, so quests double-dip value by advancing both.

Final Blurb

Dungeoneering in RuneScape 3 Leagues is less about crawling through Daemonheim and more about smart skips and token rewards. Do quick tasks, claim Necklace trinkets with a high XP boost, and clear quests that hand out huge chunks of experience.

For tokens, rush small floors or shift to Elite Dungeons once relics are unlocked. Tokens unlock all the quality-of-life rewards that make the rest of your League journey much smoother.
