Dungeon equipment and loot

Bring healing supplies and weapons suited to the enemies. Resistant creatures take much less damage from inadequate materials; the Enemies lists requirements. Silver is useful against several common undead and were-creatures.

More dangerous types tend to offer better materials, gems and item rarities. Bodies use the enemy's own loot rules, so a strong enemy can be worth fighting even in an easier dungeon. Search containers as well as treasure piles: rings and amulets can appear in searchable objects.

Legendary drops are more likely to match the dungeon's enemy family. Mines do not favour a particular family:
