Dungeon Quest Tier List (2026) — Best Weapons & Abilities Ranked

Dungeon Quest — the original 2018 dungeon-crawler at place 2414851778, created by vCaffy and now run by Voldex — has 17 dungeons and a gear ladder that runs from 14,000 damage to 832,000,000. This list ranks every meaningful weapon and ability, with the exact base power, level requirement and drop source for each.

Which Dungeon Quest this list covers

There are now two games with this name, and they do not share a weapon roster. This page covers the original Dungeon Quest (listed on Roblox as "Dungeon Quest! ⚔️ RPG Adventure", universe 848145103, owned by the "Dungeon Quest by Voldex" group). It was created on September 25, 2018 and has 2.33 billion visits, 5,876,470 favourites and a 91.8% like ratio (1,160,048 likes to 103,060 dislikes) as of August 27, 2026. Concurrent players sat at roughly 540 when we pulled the API at 12:13 UTC on August 27, 2026.

The other game is Dungeon Quest Reborn (universe 9931749389), published by the "Delta Quarters OG" group on March 24, 2026, which its store description says is "officially licensed by Voldex" and inspired by the original. It is a separate build with its own loot, and our tracker recorded it between 4,298 and 30,210 concurrent players in the week to August 27, 2026 (median 14,538) — far busier than the original. None of the weapons below are Reborn weapons. For a numbered countdown of weapons only, see our Dungeon Quest best weapons ranking; the Dungeon Quest hub tracks the game's status.

Dungeon Quest tier list at a glance

Base-power figures are each item page's stated base average, checked on August 27, 2026. Ability figures are total spell multipliers, not damage. "NM" = Nightmare.

S Tier — the level 206+ endgame

Everything in S tier comes from the last two dungeons the game shipped, Yokai Peak (October 13, 2023) and Abyssal Void (October 11, 2024). Nothing outside this bracket is close.

Voidspire & Abyssal Veil and Voidfallen's Effigy & Edict

Abyssal Void's two Ultimate-rarity drops — the warrior Voidspire & Abyssal Veil and the mage Voidfallen's Effigy & Edict — share a base average of 832,000,000 with roughly 2,500,000 in upgrades and a level 216 requirement. Fully upgraded they land between 823.75M and 890.25M, averaging 857M, so the real ceiling is about 890M rather than the ~835M older lists quote. Both drop on Nightmare only after The Voidborn bonus boss is beaten, and the wiki names them the best physical and best spell weapons in the game.

Voidborn's Malice and Voidborn's Embrace

The same dungeon's Legendary pair is the realistic target. Voidborn's Malice (physical) and Voidborn's Embrace (spell) are 750,000,000 base with about 2,000,000 upgrades at level 216, maxing at 808.5M — roughly 90% of the Ultimate's power with no bonus-boss clear required.

Akuma's Wraithbringer and Akuma's Soulreaver

Yokai Peak's Legendary pair: 298,500,000 base, about 1,350,000 upgrades, level 206, max 327.6M. If Abyssal Void Nightmare is out of reach, this is the strongest gear you can hold.

The S-tier abilities

Sacrificial Orbs has the highest single-cast multiplier we could verify anywhere in the game: 140x at half charge and 280x fully charged, on a 5-second cooldown, from Abyssal Void Nightmare at level 215. Gravity Leap (physical, level 210) and Unstable Warp (spell, level 210) are Legendary-rarity abilities at 200x total, and both also pull enemies to a point — Gravity Leap adds 20% damage reduction, Unstable Warp can be recast within two seconds. Voidflames rounds out the set at 185x across five ticks on a 3-second cooldown. All four drop from Abyssal Void.

S-tier gear all comes from Yokai Peak and Abyssal Void, the game's two newest dungeons.

A Tier — levels 150 to 196

Where most active players live. The jump from here to S tier is roughly fivefold, so treat these as milestones.

Gildenscale Oath And Aegis / Daybreak And Gildensong

Gilded Skies' Legendary pair: base average 139,500,000, about 850,000 upgrades, level 196, minimum sell price 250,000,000 gold. Gildenscale specialises in physical damage, Daybreak And Gildensong in spell power.

Hofund and Laevateinn — and why they are not S tier

Hofund (warrior) and Laevateinn (mage) are Northern Lands' Ultimate weapons: 72,727,200 base with 480,480 upgrades, level 186, max potential 80.514M. They require beating the optional Odin Reincarnation boss on Nightmare. The catch is the drop rate — the wiki estimates about 1 in 1,982 (~0.05%). Older guides quote 1 in 555 for these; that figure came from a launch bug that let Ultimates entirely replace Legendary drops in large parties, and it was patched within days of release. Do not plan around it.

Mjolnir and Gungnir

Mjolnir (physical) and Gungnir (spell) are the Northern Lands Legendaries: 66,600,000 base, 440,000 upgrades, level 186, max potential 74.55M. Their drop rate is about 1 in 555, or roughly 0.18%. That is nearly four times the odds of the Ultimates for about 92% of the power — which is why Mjolnir and Gungnir, not Hofund and Laevateinn, are the sensible Northern Lands farm.

Enhanced Inner Rage and Enhanced Inner Focus

These two Legendary abilities give a 4.5-second speed boost and increase ability damage by 90% on a 6-second cooldown, from level 150. They are not general spell-power buffs, and they drop only from Volcanic Chambers, Aquatic Temple, Enchanted Forest and Northern Lands on Nightmare at a stated 1 in 1,000. They are also not the only Legendary abilities — Gravity Leap and Unstable Warp share that rarity. Paired with an S-tier weapon they still give the highest sustained output in the game.

B Tier — levels 62 to 176

These carry you through the mid-game. Every one of them gets replaced, so spend upgrade gold sparingly.

Eldenbark Greatsword / Greatstaff (Enchanted Forest Nightmare) sit at 31,600,000 base with around 300,000 upgrades at level 176. Sea King's Trident / Greatstaff (Aquatic Temple Nightmare) are 15,000,000 base at level 166, maxing at 17.535M — note that this is roughly a quarter of Mjolnir's power, so do not linger here once you can host Northern Lands. Inventor's Greatsword / Spellblade (Steampunk Sewers Nightmare) are 2,400,000 base with about 67,000 upgrades at level 125; their stats were raised substantially in the Boss Raids rework of May 23, 2024, so pre-2024 numbers for them are wrong.

Universal Heal is the one early ability worth keeping for the long haul. It is Epic rarity from Pirate Island on Insane or Nightmare, needs level 62, and heals every player in the lobby or dungeon regardless of distance, scaling with your spell power. It fires two ticks over about two seconds on a 15-second cooldown — it was nerfed from five ticks when King's Castle launched, so any guide quoting five ticks is stale.

Mid-game gear from Enchanted Forest, Aquatic Temple and Steampunk Sewers.

C Tier — levels 1 to 97

Early progression gear. Useful when you get it, worthless within a few dungeons.

Sakura Katana / Sakura Greatstaff from Samurai Palace Nightmare have a base average of 56,000 at level 97 — still the most recognisable weapons in the game and heavily traded as cosmetics, but 56,000 against Mjolnir's 66,600,000 tells you where they belong. Dual Phoenix Daggers / Phoenix Greatstaff (The Underworld Nightmare, level 87) are 24,000 base, maxing at 39,900. Beastmaster War Scythe / Spell Scythe (King's Castle Nightmare, level 77) are 14,000 base with only 850 upgrades — the weakest Legendaries on this list.

On abilities: Lightning Beam is often written off, but it deals six ticks for a 15x total spell multiplier from level 40, which makes it comfortably stronger than Fireball and its single 2x tick. Fireball's advantage is range — it and Blue Fireball have the longest reach of any ability, which is useful for pulling the first group in a room. Note that Fireball stopped being the default starter ability in the November 22, 2024 update; new accounts get Flame Step or Leaping Strike instead.

How this list was built

Tiers are set by verified base power and level bracket, not by feel. Every weapon and ability was looked up individually on its Dungeon Quest Roblox Wiki item page on August 27, 2026, and the base average, upgrade count, level requirement, drop source and stated drop rate were taken from there. That wiki is actively maintained — its dungeon page was revised on August 25, 2026 and gives seventeen regular dungeons, matching the game's own live Roblox description. Player counts, visits, favourites and the like ratio came from the Roblox games and votes API for universe 848145103 on August 27, 2026. Nothing here rests on invented playtesting or weighted scores; if a drop contradicts the table, the wiki item page is the tiebreaker.
