Effect on economy: sum -> amount

New page

[[File:Teleporting resource dungeon.png|thumb|A player being teleported to a resource dungeon.]]
'''Resource dungeons''' (also known as '''Surface Dungeons''') are dungeons requiring a minimum [[Dungeoneering]] level to enter, and which give a one-time [[experience]] reward for discovering — along with other resources. These resources include new monster spawns such as [[frost dragon]]s and [[mining]] [[rocks]], [[trees]], and [[herb]] spawns. Note that while an experience bonus is given for finding a dungeon, [[Dungeoneering tokens]] are '''not''' awarded to match the bonus. This is similar to using experience lamps or [[penguin points]] to train Dungeoneering, as neither of those methods award tokens either. Finding all sixteen currently released dungeons gives a total one-time experience reward of 100,000 xp, or 12,000 xp for non members.

==Effect on economy==
A large amount of rare resources were introduced to the economy as a result of these dungeons. A lot of these items suffered a price drop such as [[limpwurt root]]s and almost all herbs and ores such as [[runite ore]]. [[Maple logs]] didn't suffer from the new dungeons as much, most likely because members powerchop those, and they are available in bulk from [[managing Miscellania]]. However, players with high dungeoneering are likely to have high [[wikipedia:Opportunity cost|opportunity costs]] compared to other players, and do not spend extended periods of time harvesting commodity resources, so the economic effects of high-level resource dungeons are limited.

==Dungeons==
There are currently a total of 16 resource dungeons. These are all accessible as soon as the required level is reached, except for the [[Braindeath Island 'Rum'-geon]], which also requires the completion of a quest, [[A Clockwork Syringe]], and the [[Dwarven Mine resource dungeon]] in the [[Mining Guild]] which requires 60 [[Mining]], and the [[Baxtorian Falls resource dungeon]] which requires [[Waterfall Quest]] to be started.

==Trivia==
*Resource dungeons were first mentioned in the May 2010 Developers' Blog [[Update:Blog - Beyond the Release|Beyond the Release]] and mentioned again in the July [[Update:Behind the Scenes - July (2010)|Behind the Scenes]] update. {{CiteDevBlog |author=Mod Liono |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=devblog/view_post.ws?post_id=97 |title=Beyond the Release |blogdate=28 May 2010 |date=17:32, July 2, 2010 (UTC) |name=btr}}
*On release, the Knowledge Base said that the volcano dungeon's contents were "[[impling]]s" and that [[lesser demon]]s were the only monsters in there. In fact, implings are not in there at all and [[imp]]s are the other monster with the lesser demons.
