Intro
Dungeon has changed its stage in the game. Dungeon is not exclusive to late game players anymore. Floor 4 was once a stage for endgame players, but now even mid game players can beat it. I think it is time to make a thread about it since huge changes are made.
I am not a top tier dungeon player, but I spent a lot of time in early and mid game (about 3 months of 5 hours a day. I suck at progression). I made many mistakes in my sb dungeon career so I think I can give constructed advice to beginners.
Requirement
Even though the requirement to play dungeon has been lowered, there is still a requirement to get start dungeon easily.
Collecting fairy souls grant you huge health, defense, strength, and some speed bonus. They are essential for all beginners to be successful. Check spoiler for wiki (more information) and Timedeo's fairy soul guide (recommended video guide)
Fairy Souls
Those are the souls of my fallen sisters. Tia the Fairy Fairy Souls are collectibles scattered around SkyBlock. Collecting them grants permanent boosts to Health, Strength, Defense, and Speed. Fairy Souls are collectibles that take the form of custom-textured heads (smaller blocks)...

Combat 18+
Most skill bonus does not affect much of your gameplay. However, combat is the most crucial skill in dungeon, followed by foraging. You want your combat skill as high as it can. Farm in the end or grind t3 revenant (t4 if you can afford it and beat it) to level up combat.
Slayer 3(5) 1(4) 2(5)Parenthesis = recommended lvl but not required
Revenant: Need at least slayer lvl 3 (you need the mending wand, this item is good for beginners but useless after a while). Need lvl 5 if you decide to play mage (you need the voodoo doll).
Tarantula: Need at least slayer lvl 1 (spider ring talisman), slayer lvl 4 is recommended but not required (lvl 4 unlocks you the access to tarantula armor)
Sven: Need at least slayer lvl 2 (radiant orb), slayer lvl 5 is recommended but not required (lvl 5 unlocks recipe for talisman upgrade).
Talismans 35+
You want to get all the easy talismans (about 35+). Use the wiki in the spoiler for more information.

Class
Congratulations! You've met all the requirements. It's time to choose a class.
Everyone has their own tastes when coming to choose a class. I will separate it into two groups: fairies and serious gamer.
these people play dungeon for fun.
Serious gamer: these people play dungeon seriously and seek to become a powerful player
Class info:
Classes
Classes are roles a player can have in dungeons, each with their own effects and bonuses. The available classes are Tank, Berserk, Mage, Healer, and Archer. The teams of people must be at least 4-5 people for all floors. There can be multiple of the same class in the same dungeon at once. If...

Fairies
Experience with all class and choose one that seems most interesting for you.
Serious gamerTo become better in dungeon, you need a lot of money, gears, and dungeon essence. Thus, when you start dungeon, you want to be able to CLEAR ROOM by yourself. This is because you can get a lot of loot. Loot is money and dungeon essence, which will boost you later on. Here is a table that shows each class's pros and cons and my opinion for ROOM CLEARING ABILITY on each class:
Pros | Cons | My opinion | |
Healer | Grants healing bonus, great survivablity | No damage boost | Good class to start out if you are having trouble surviving. After a while, you should choose mage, berserk, or archer for better room clearing ability. |
Mage | Great long range splash damage | Bad single targetting damage (unless you are a great player) | Best class for room clearing |
Berserk | High close range dps, high life steal | Not long range | Good room clearing ability, great for miniboss. |
Archer | Great long range single targeting damage | Bad survivability | Good room clearing ability, great for miniboss. |
Tank | Great effective health (survivability) | No damage boost | Same as healer. |
Mage is best for room clearing, followed by bersesrk and archer. You should not choose healer or tank unless you can't survive.
Gears recommended:Mage
Weapon: Heroic Bonzo Staff (or epic rarity Heroic Dreadlord Sword; use frozen scythe if you have it already) and Voodoo Doll (must have)
Armor: Start off with full wise dragon armor (you can buy bonzo mask from auction and replace wise dragon helmet for more survivablity). Once you hit catacomb lvl 5, buy dark goggles from ophelia. Once you hit catacomb lvl 9, buy legendary zombie soldier chestplate, leggings, and boots. Everything should be reforged to wise.
Pet: epic/legendary sheep
Accessories refroge: bizarre
Weapon: Flower of Truth. This weapon is essential for berserk. You must need it to be successful
Armor: Start off with your normal damage set but use bonzo mask as the helmet. Once you hit catacomb lvl 2, Use bonzo mask + 3/4 epic heavy armor. Convert to zombie soldier once you hit cata 9.
Pet: legendary wither skeleton
Accessories refroge: forceful below rare, strong above epic.
Edit: Use the following sword. It has no requirement at all.
ArcherWeapon: Hurricane bow, epic machingun bow and the best sword you have. Flower of Truth is recommended but not needed
Armor: Start off with your normal damage set but use bonzo mask as the helmet. Use 3/4 skeleton grunt + bonzo mask until you hit cata 9. Replace 3/4 skeleton grunt with skeleton soldier by then.
Pet: Epic/legendary skeleton
Accessories reforge: same as berserk.
You should use mage, berserk, or archer gears. You won't be using these two classes for long. (Unless you somehow converted into "fairies", or you love these two classes)
Edit: For example, if you want to play mage but you can't survive, get mage gear and play healer or tank until you can survive well.
*Check specific guides in "Guide and Strategies Section" for each class. They do better job than I do.
*You can always get better gears if you buy dungeon carries. But you will spend millions of coins.
Budget (comparing mage, berserk, and archer)
We won't consider healer and tank because you will just use mage, berserk, and archer gear as healer and tank.
Mage: medium (3-7mil) <-- Depends on if you use Bonzo Staff or Dreadlord Sword
Berserk: low (2-3mil) <-- Using zombie soldier Cutlass; high (10mil) <-- Using Flower of Truth
Archer: low (1-2mil); with flower of truth: high (12mil)
My suggestion: Mage is the best option for beginners. Mage is best at room clearing (most profit) and is not crazily expensive. All the other classes is either cheap but has limited ability to clear room or expensive.
Finaly words:
This guide is meant for skyblock beginners who are looking forward to playing dungeon.
If anything, point out my mistakes and what I can do better.
This is my 900th post. Pog!
I said I quit skyblock in another thread, but that does not prevent me from sharing my experience in skyblock. I hope you all have a great time playing skyblock . Wish you good luck!
