Dungeons may be entered by approaching the portal and selecting a mode and difficulty. The four modes that are available for each dungeon are Story, Elite, Heroic, and Legendary. Story is a mode with no difficulty settings, and is required in order to progress the main questline. Dungeons require a certain minimum level; and characters underneath that level will not be allowed to enter until meeting the level requirements.

Mode and Difficulty
Story mode is the easiest mode and may be completed by one person, though up to two players may enter Lavalight Cave and Carleon Manor in Story Mode. Each Dungeon has its own player limit. Once a dungeon has been completed in story mode, Elite and Heroic modes become available.
Elite and Heroic modes have variable difficulty levels between I (Very Easy) and V (Very Hard), with higher drop rates in more difficult modes.
Elite is the first challenging mode. Elite I (Very Easy) and II (Easy) may be completed by one person; however, the recommended party size for Elite dungeons is usually 2 - 3 players. When going through as a party, it is generally understood that "need before greed" is the best looting policy.
Heroic is the 3rd level of difficulty. Recommended party size for Heroic Dungeons is 3 - 5. Soloing is almost impossible without a heavy stock of potions and enough Elluns for revivals, even with appropriate equipment and up to 5 levels above the requirement, depending on the class. The primary purpose of completing Dungeons in the first place is to "farm" powerful heroic equipment, either to use personally or to extract the equipment to get high level Tempering stones.
Legendary mode is currently the most difficult of the 4 modes and only available for adventurers level 40 and up. Its rewards are legendary items such as taming marks, legendary gear, seal scrolls, and seal stones as well as jewelry. While it is the most difficult mode, it also requires a special emblem to enter the dungeon. The legendary emblems for the dungeons in Hakanas Highlands can be obtained from a daily quest located in the Victory Plaza of Hakain's Crossing.
Instancing and Resetting
If you wish to re-enter a dungeon within a short time after clearing or leaving it, you will need to go to the dungeon reset page (default key of ]), and select the reset dungeon link at the top right corner. If you try to enter the dungeon portal without resetting, you will be taken back to the old dungeon instance.
