Deep Dungeon.png Deep Dungeons are a roguelike game mode in Final Fantasy XIV.

They are multi-floor, ever-changing dungeons. Floor layouts are procedurally generated and will change each run. All players will begin at a reduced level, and only by fighting the enemies within will they be able to gain the strength and experience needed to reach the final floor.

Players can enter solo or with a party of up to four players, with no role restrictions (excluding limited jobs). Parties can be done using matchmaking (available from the dungeon entrance and not the Duty Finder interface) or with a premade party. Higher floors do not allow for matchmade parties due to their difficulty. There are exclusive achievements from successfully completing a solo run without dying.

The lack of role restrictions means healers may not always be present, making consumables such as potions and Phoenix down icon1.png  Phoenix Down especially useful. See also: Rehabilitation

Each dungeon contains dungeon-specific consumable items usually referred to as pomanders that can augment the party's strength or change floor effects.
