Mage's Gauntlet

Dungeon

Melee req	50
Waves	6
Reward	Archmagister's Cache ×1

A sealed proving hall where the Archmagister tests every caster who claims mastery. Six wardens stand between you and the Cache.

How a run works

Waves are fought in order, without a break: your HP carries from one wave straight into the next, and nothing heals you in between — bring food, or an Auto Eat that can keep up. Clear the last wave and the Archmagister's Cache drops and the run restarts at wave 1, so a dungeon you can clear farms itself.

Die at any wave and the run ends there. You keep everything you picked up on the way, you are healed to full, and the dungeon resets to wave 1 — the only thing you lose is the progress toward the chest.

Every wave pays XP as if it were level 79 — the dungeon's highest wave — so the easy opening waves are not penalised for being below your level. See Combat for the XP formula.

This dungeon mixes 2 combat styles ( Magic, Melee), so no single loadout holds the triangle advantage for the whole run. Check the wave list before you commit.

Waves

#	Monster	Level	HP	Defense	Fights as	Beat it with	XP
1	Novice Conjurer	42	650	55	Magic	Ranged	5,500
2	Rune Adept	50	850	65	Magic	Ranged	7,000
3	Stormcaller	57	1,050	72	Magic	Ranged	8,500
4	Glass Familiar	64	1,300	80	Melee	Magic	10,500
5	Void Channeler	71	1,600	92	Magic	Ranged	13,000
6	The Archmagister	79	2,000	108	Magic	Ranged	16,000

"Beat it with" is the combat triangle pick: attacking with that style gives +15% hit chance and +10% damage, and the style it beats takes the same penalty. Defense is what your hit chance is rolled against — a high-Defense monster at your own level is a slower kill than its level suggests.
