High-Roller Ranks and Adventure Points
Ranks
Ranks are only for the High-Roller dungeons which have a 100 gold entry fee and an Adventure Point (AP) ante. Dark and Darker currently has 7 rank categories with a total of 19 individual ranks that players can achieve. Each rank causes an increase in AP fee to enter the High roll dungeons.
The rank at the end of the season determines the rewards granted for the start of the next season, as well as a title and banner that can be used for the present season.
Each rank is not a checkpoint, meaning it is still possible to de-rank below your current rank.

Adventure Points
There are 9 different sources of Adventure Points (AP) to advance your rank in the High-Roller dungeons. Each entrance of the dungeon cost varying amounts of AP as seen above, even if you perish. Failing to extract from the dungeon will remove all AP gains, and still pay the AP ante.
Props Interaction
Note: Opening props grant AP only the first time they are opened. This includes repeatable props such as ore nodes, treasure horde, and shrines.

High-End Props Interaction
- Same as Prop Interaction but only includes high grade "props". Please use list above to refer to all prop values.
Player Kill
- Ranges from 9.9 to 188.1 AP per kill
- AP varies based on the number of divisions between you and the player.
AP = 14.85 * Divisions below target + 99
- Divisions below target ranges from -6 to 6, as if you are 6 divisions above the target (Demigod killing a Neophyte), the value is -6.
Monster Kill
See Monsters for each Monster's AP reward.
Sub Boss Kill
| Monster name: | Normal AP | Elite AP | Nightmare AP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cockatrice | 15 | 15 | 15 |
| Demon Berserker | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| Demon Centaur | 50 | 50 | |
| Frost Demon | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| Frost Giant Berserker | 25 | 25 | 25 |

Item Achieve
- AP is rewarded for extracting with items that have the Looted tag. See Looted, Handled, and Supplied for more information on these tags.
- Craftable items can now be looted as of Patch:6.4#Hotfix 46 as killed player's gear are converted to Looted.
- AP rewarded is then multiplied by the quantity in the stack. This was not true in the past, where 1x Candy would have rewarded the same amount of AP as 10x Candy
- AP is calculated on extraction
- Weapons and Armor give 1 AP per 1 gold they sell for
- Which is 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 10 | 20 | 30 AP, multiplied by the number of slots the item takes up
- Utilities, Accessories and Misc (like Treasures, Gems, Hunting Loot like Kobold Ears, Mimic Tongue's, etc) reward AP equal to their rarity (not multiplied by slot size), where Junk through Unique rewards 0-7 AP
- Junk is equivalent to rarity 0 and therefore gives 0 AP
- Unique is equivalent to rarity 7 and therefore gives 7 AP
- Treasures give even more AP as they are also in the Treasure section
- If there are exceptions that do not follow the previously mentioned criteria, their AP will be listed below (these are not multiplied by slot size)
Treasure
You can find the AP values for Treasure on its page
Dungeon Down
- 100 AP for taking a Down portal
Assists
Player, Monster, Sub-Boss, and Boss kills also have an Assist category. While in a group, all AP gained from these kills are split evenly among team members. For whoever got the kill, the AP goes to the Kill category, while for everyone else in the group -regardless of contribution- it goes under the Kill Assist category.
The AP is split for each individual kill, and then rounded down and granted to everyone else in the party as an Assist. The remaining AP is rewarded as a Kill to whomever landed the killing blow.
Formula
Assist AP (per kill) = floor(AP / Party Size)
Kill AP (per kill) = AP - (Party Size - 1) * Assist AP
Example
Party size of 3 after killing 2 normal Skeleton Axemen which reward 5 AP each.
Assist AP (per kill) = floor(5/3) = 1
Kill AP (per kill) = 5 - (3-1) * 1 = 3
Since there two kills, each assisting player receives 2 AP, and the player that got the killing blow receives 6 AP. Note that this sums to 10 AP, from 5 AP per kill x 2 kills.
