Karl is one of the many icons for Dungeon Runners! He is the one doing the effort to let YOU know how many Experience Points you still need until the next level. His appearance changes from time to time too, he can Cry, Laugh, and look casual. He will end his work when you hit level 100, then he will clearly state: You Win!

Keep 'em going Karl!

You see 3 circles. In these 3 circles will be shown 3 icons, Health Potions, Mana Potions, and Waypoint Scrolls. If they're empty, it means you do not carry one of them. You can click these to use the item in battle, but you can also use the shortkeys, which will be explained further in the Guide. If you have both a nonmember Minor Potion and a member Major Potion in your inventory, the nonmember potion will be used up first, before the member potions are used.

These little icons can grant you access to all the menus in the game (which are explained later in the Guide). As your experience in the game goes up, you will notice you won't use the buttons too much anymore, yet they can be handy. If you mouse-over them you will see to what they link.

There also is a little text that says either:"Click here to join!!!" in mythic text, which links you to the subscribe for member page on DungeonRunners.com, or it says:"Click here to Refer a Friend!". The first message appears when you are a non-member, and the second one appears if you are already a member.

The Minimap, speaks for itself I'd say. But that is sadly not enough, so here we go. The Minimap is a really handy feature in Dungeon Runners, as you can see exactly where you walk! In Townston, little icons will pop up which will notice you where the bank, the merchants and others are. In dungeons, it is less detailed, and you only see the lines which are walls. You do see, at the other hand, little dungeon icons, which means there is a portal at that place. You can easily zoom in and zoom out big time with the + and the - in the top-right corner. Also you will see a little arrow, which is you, and a purple 'Line of Sight'.

There also is a little bar next to the Minimap, this shows what the zone is called where you are located in at the moment. If you opted to let the healthbar show next to the minimap also, a healthbar of the enemy will appear with the name of the monster. How to set that setting yourself, later in this guide.

• The Help button will pop up the Help Menu, also accessible by pressing F1.

• The Options button will show a submenu where you can change many settings for the game, below more info.

• The Logout button will let you log out, and show you an advertisement movie when you are nonmember, and will let you go to the login screen, members will directly appear at the login screen.

• The Exit Game button will let you close the whole game, this option is much more handy to close the game directly then first logging out.

• The Back to Game button will close the menu and let you continue your journey in Dungeon Runners, you can also press ESC again to close the menu.

You will find 4 Buttons that will redirect you to 4 different setting screens.

• The Graphics button will open a screen where you can change The Resolution, full screen, AntiAlias, Vertical Synch, Brightness, User Interface Size, and Foliage Density. You can also click on Auto-Detect so you will get the options that fit the best for your computer.

• The Control Button will open a screen where you can change all the hotkeys we explained above. The above list of hotkeys is the default setting and will no longer apply when you change things to your own preference already here.

• The Sound Button will open a screen where you can change the Music Volume, Game Volume, Text message volume, Voice chat Volume, Trigger Level, and the Voice Chat mode, which is F on default.

• The General button will open a screen where you can change all the general settings. You will probably access this menu often to change the Difficulty, but many more settings can be made in the General Menu (see below).

These are the items on the General Menu:

• Difficulty increase monster health and damage, but also increase the loot drop %.

• Show Damage. Diplays Damage numbers, MISS or RESIST floating up from the monster you attack. It can be distracting, but is also a good way of seeing what resistances the monster has and what works against it. Orange numbers indicate a critical hit for both physical and elemental damage

• Allow Mouse Look. Holding down mouse look key (X as default) or Mouse Wheel Button and moving the mouse will change the camera view.

• Click to Move. When an unoccupied piece of terrain is clicked, the player will move to that piece of terrain.

• Click to Pick Up. When toggled on allows a player to click on an object, move towards it and pick it up.

• Edge Rotate. When the cursor is moved to either edge of the screen, the view and the purple field of view indicator will turn that way.

• X-ray Vision. Allows a player to see ghostly images through obstacles. Turning this on allows you to see through obstructing walls and scenery when your camera angle would otherwise be blocked.

• Chat Font size.

• Chat Window Opacity. The degree to which the chat window's background appears as a solid black box. Lower numbers make the background less visible (clear).

• Item Label Toggle. If this is selected the ALT key will toggle item labels on and off. This can be handy if a major mob drops so much loot during a battle it blocks your view.

• Item Label Quality. You can choose the minimum type of loot Item that will show up when you press ALT, from Normal to Mythic. This saves time if you only want to pick up the most valuable loot, and you won't have to go to sell as often.

• Target Health. Can be up center, or up right.

Press T or L to open the Quest Log. Here you can see a list of all Quests you have accepted.

In Build 150 the Quest screen was considerably improved. The Quests are now sorted by dungeons and each dungeon list can be expanded or reduced. Mouse over a quest to see a quick description and your progress report, i.e. Slay Flying Pigs 6/10. Completed Quests have a green check mark in front of them.

Click on a quest and you can read the entire description, and abandon the quest if you need to.

Yes! Finally! The most important thing in Dungeon Runners is the Bling Bling! Guess where it ends up when you pick it up? The Inventory! (As you would have guessed already, I think.)

The Inventory is split in 2 parts. You see the Equip part, and the real Inventory part. In the Equip part, you can drag any item you wish to wear from the Inventory part to the Equip part. Don't forget you cannot wear boots on your head, so place the right item in the right square.

The Inventory part consists of 80 squares. That is not too much, so organize carefully. I suggest, in order to use the inventory space the best, to place 2 items with 4 squares height, or 4 items with 2 squares height above each other. You can also fit one of 2 squares height and 2 items of 3 squares height. As you will find out when picking loot, it doesn't fit correctly automatically, so changing the order of items this way will work the best (Mind that swords, one square width, are hard to place right. Don't pick it up, or place 2 next to each other, when you are short on space)

The amount of gold you currently have is written down at the bottom of the Inventory Screen.

The Social Screen really deserves its name. When you press either 'O' or 'G' or click the multi-skull icon lower right, a window appears at the right with four tabs: Friends, Ignore, Who, and Groups.

You learned earlier in this guide that you can add friends by right-clicking their name and press Add as Friend. They will now appear in your Friends list. Friends Online will be listed first, then others. There is a check box which will show only those online. You can now right-click their name in your friendlist too. The Ignore feature works the same, but it blocks all messages the person makes in any chat, inclusive whispers.

The Who tab lists everyone in the World, their name, level and where they are currently located! You can also right-click names here. The list is sortable by clicking on the column headings, so for example you can sort it by level.

The Groups tab lists all players that have formed a group during their current session. Like the Who tab, it shows each group leader's name, location and level. Levels of those within five levels of your own level will show in green, indicating suitable group matches. It also shows a padlock icon under the leader name and a '#' column. The padlock icon is green when the group is open to anyone, and red when it is closed. If the padlock and level are both green, you can automatically join the group by clicking the padlock. The '#' column shows the number of group members. A group can have up to five members. This list is also sortable by clicking the column, so it is easy to find groups at your level. There is a check box to show Joinable Groups only.

The Skill menu is a really handy menu, as you can see all your skills you have currently bought. They are sorted in 4 Tabs, Offensive, Passive, Curse, and Self Buff. This order can change whatever skills you bought first. At the moment its not possible to change the order the skills are listed in the Skill menu.

You can mouse-over the skills and see what effects and damage they do, and for how long. You can click on a skill, and drag it to your skillbar to set another skill. Mind that the skill will recharge the total cooldown time, as else it will be abused and you can directly activate the skill. Later in the guide we will explain all the NPC screens, including those of the Skill Trainers.

This is also a very important screen, and hell, it provides alot of information! In the first section at the top, there stands your name (Original.. maybe), your Title, and your amount of PvP wins. Your title is made up from your skills, and points in attributes. I suggest to look Here, its a list of all classes so far known in the game. ' After that, theres a section of your Attributes. You have Strength, Agility, Endurance and Intellect. You can put points in these 4 attributes when you Level Up. You gain 5 points every level. You can hit the re-spec button, pay a gold fee and be able to put your points in and out attributes again for 15 minutes long, welcome to the classless system!

You can also gain points by gear, which is considered gaining points through 'magic'. This together is the total amount of attribute points.

The next part shows the Minimum and Maximum damage, the attack speed and the attack rating of a weapon, and if you wield 2 one-handed weapons, it shows both of them. You can also see the Defense Rating here, the Blocking % (can be increased by wearing a shield), and the bonuses and resistances to elements. The elements are Poison (Ranger), Divine (Fighter), Fire, Ice and Shadow (Mage).

If you belong to a Posse, you can open a screen for your posse. The first tab has the posse Philosophy and Description, and a Daily message from the posse leader. The second tab is like the Friends tab, and lists the members of your posse. There is a check box for Members Online Only.

The Vendors have their own interface. Next to that every NPC has a screen with Quests (? Marks). Vendor NPC's also have a special button, with a little gold bag icon, and 'Merchant' next to it. If you click on it, at Vendor merchants 3 tabs will appear at the top. These are Weapons, Armor, Scrap Heap. The Weapons and Armor speak for themselves. The Scrap Heap is a place where all weapons and armor is collected for nonmembers. As some time ago the system changed a bit and nonmembers could get higher loot, the scrapheap actually became fairly useless, yet it still is there. The scrap heap usually contains greens and blues, and sometimes yellows.

You can buy items for a really high price at the vendors, but you can also sell your own items. Where ever you sell them, the price you get for your item is always the same, except that The Amazon pays about 15% more for purples and rainbows. You can quick-sell by holding shift and clicking on the items.

Some of the Vendor NPC's are also Quest NPC's at the right time.

Audrey the Alchemist, the 'Potion Lady', does not sell any weapons or armor, but potions and waypoint scrolls. She does not have the tabs, but still you can sell your loot to her too.

Draykop the Amazon is a bit different. She sells items, mostly purples, for high prices in gold, but her screens are arranged in Low (below L40), Medium (L40-80), High (L80+) and Max (L95+). As noted she pays a bit more when you sell her purple or rainbow items.

You can see the quests a NPC has to offer. A yellow exclamation mark means they have a quest to offer, a gray question mark means you have accepted a quest but not completed it, and a yellow question mark means you have completed a quest (and you should claim your reward). Click on the NPC and then click on the appropriate quest name to read the quest description and status (for example, how many items you have collected). After accepting a quest you can find it in your Quest Log.

Same thing as the Quest NPC's, only then they take your Kings Coins in return for items, mostly yellows. They do say how much it'll cost, and there are different categories of items, but you are not sure what you will get. These items are totally random but will be appropriate for your class and level, and are soulbound when received.

The Banker NPC always has quests to offer, called Relic Quests. Next to that he has a button called 'Access Bank' Which will grant you access to the bank. Nonmembers have one bank page ( 140 squares) and Members have access to 3 bank pages (420 squares) at first, and gain one more at Level 50 and another one at Level 100.
