Can I practise?
Yes. Runs in any other loadout do not count, so practise with anything you like. Once the week opens, every run in the week’s loadout counts as your next round.
What exactly is checked?
Your weapon type, your equipped abilities and any item the week asks for, such as The Vacan-Sealer in your toolbelt, as they were the moment you entered the dungeon. We also check every ability you pick up or use during the run: if the week allows one ability and you get another, that run does not count. Armour, rings and everything else are up to you unless the week says otherwise.
Why do I need The Vacan-Sealer?
Without it, the dungeon offers you random abilities as you level up during the run, and picking one up means the run does not count. Equip The Vacan-Sealer in your toolbelt before you go in and those random abilities are not offered.
Can I play all my rounds before Thursday?
Yes. Play them whenever you like before the week closes. The cut on Thursday at 04:00 UTC looks only at rounds 1 and 2. If you make it, all 4 rounds count towards your total. If you miss it, you are ranked on rounds 1 and 2 and your rounds 3 and 4 are not scored.
What is the cut for?
It keeps the week moving, because everyone has to play their first two rounds by Thursday. It also splits the field: everyone who makes the cut finishes above everyone who misses it, whatever their total. From Week 2, making or missing it also changes your marks.
Do loading screens count?
No. We add up the time you spend inside each room, as the game records it, so the loading between rooms is left out and a slower PC does not cost you. Time inside a room always counts, including picking relics and any menu you open, so choose quickly.
What if I disconnect or crash?
The run counts as it ended, which is usually a DNF. We cannot tell a disconnect from leaving, so we treat them the same for everyone.
Why solo only?
A party shares one run, so its time says as much about your team as about you. Party runs do not count for the league, but they still count in the game as normal.
When do results update?
Every 3 hours, at 01:05, 04:05, 07:05, 10:05, 13:05, 16:05, 19:05, 22:05 UTC. The week’s leaderboard shows a countdown to the next update. Final results are published after the week closes on Sunday night.
Which servers can play?
Every server. The clock measures the dungeon, not your connection to other players, so every server competes on one leaderboard.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Every character that plays the week’s dungeon solo in the right loadout is on the leaderboard automatically. Each character competes on its own, so playing on two characters puts both on the board.
