Dimraeth Deeds and Bounties Guide
Deeds are optional short-form objectives, while Bounties are the boss-focused repeatable branch described by Mudtek. This guide gives you a safe decision framework without turning playtest wording or conflicting player reports into fixed drop tables.
What Deeds and Bounties mean#
Mudtek's January 30 Steam playtest announcement calls Deeds short-form quests and introduces Bounties as a Deed content type for repeating bosses and tough encounters. The current launch announcement keeps the broader Deed system in the Early Access endgame with progressive difficulty.
- Main quests: keep the story route visible
- Deeds: optional short-form objectives that can fit into a planned route
- Bounties: repeatable boss or tough-encounter objectives with a higher difficulty focus
What the Early Access loop confirms#
A September 7 developer reply describes the endgame Deed systems as “repeatable,” including former bosses and dungeons. The same reply says elite bosses can drop unique equipment sets and that harder Deed difficulties have “unlockable levels.” Those are developer statements about the intended system shape, not a published table of current thresholds or guaranteed rewards.
A current Steam player discussion also describes harder versions of bosses and world events in the live build. Another player in that thread disputes whether hard mode gives extra or better rewards. This is useful corroboration that players are interacting with the loop, while the conflicting reward reports stay outside the factual guide layer.
- Repeat a boss or dungeon when the active Deed points you there
- Expect higher difficulty to change the challenge, but confirm the current threshold in your build
- Use the current in-game objective and reward preview if it differs from older announcements
Unlocks and difficulty: the safe answer#
The first-party material confirms progressive difficulty and harder Deed levels, but it does not publish a universal first-unlock level, rank table, or requirement that applies to every character. Do not treat the Act I level cap, a boss clear, or story completion as an automatic Deed unlock rule unless the live UI confirms it.
If a board, menu, or objective is unavailable, continue the visible story or settlement progression, then check the Deed interface again. Record the exact text from your build before treating a threshold as a general rule for other players.
- Confirm the first available Deed in the current UI
- Read the displayed difficulty and completion condition before accepting it
- Do not infer a universal rank or level requirement from one character
How to decide whether to run one#
Run an ordinary Deed when its objective overlaps with the route, region, or preparation you already planned. Choose a Bounty when the group can absorb a failed attempt, has a suitable spell bar, and wants to learn a named encounter through repetition.
The playtest announcement uses the language of scaling rewards and better loot, while the developer reply mentions unique equipment sets from elite bosses. No current public table proves the exact item pool, drop rate, rank reward, or guarantee for a live Bounty, so use those statements as the intended reward direction and inspect the active preview before committing resources.
- Choose a nearby Deed when the travel cost is low
- Prepare for a Bounty as a learning attempt, not a guaranteed upgrade
- Stop pushing when recovery and repair cost outweigh the visible reward
- Keep main-quest progress as the anchor when optional work starts to scatter the route
What this guide does not claim#
The following details need a current in-game capture or a new first-party update before they can be published as general guidance. Leaving them open protects you from old playtest notes and from player reports that disagree about rewards.
- The universal first-unlock condition
- The number of Deed or Bounty ranks and their exact thresholds
- The current difficulty formula, reward table, and drop rates
- Reset, cancellation, failure, or repeat-cost rules
- The fastest repeat route or a guaranteed farming method
FAQ#
What is a Deed in Dimraeth?
Mudtek describes Deeds as short-form quests. Use them as optional objectives that can fit around your main route while you explore, gather, or return to a hub.
What is a Bounty in Dimraeth?
Bounties are described as a Deed content type for repeating bosses and tough encounters with scaling difficulty. The intended loop includes scaling rewards, but the current public material does not provide a guaranteed reward table.
When do Deeds unlock?
No universal first-party unlock level or rank table is published. Check the active Deed interface and objective text in your Early Access build instead of assuming that level 25, a boss clear, or story completion unlocks every tier.
Do harder Bounties guarantee better loot?
The playtest wording points to scaling rewards and better loot, and a developer reply mentions unique equipment sets from elite bosses. Exact current guarantees, rates, and item pools remain unverified, so inspect the live reward preview and treat each run as a risk decision.
Should I run Deeds before finishing the story?
You can. Keep the main quest as your route anchor, add nearby Deeds when they are efficient, and take a Bounty when your group has enough preparation and recovery capacity to learn the encounter.
