Dungeon Lootr Expeditions Patch Notes: 1.5 & 2.5 Recap

Full Dungeon Lootr expeditions patch notes breakdown: Update 1.5 tournaments, Update 2.5 Eclipse March, new classes, codes, and gear systems.

If you play Dungeon Lootr on Roblox, the Dungeon Lootr expeditions patch notes are the fastest way to keep up with a game that changes constantly. Two major drops — Update 1.5 and Update 2.5 — reshaped how players earn gear, chase classes, and spend their stars. This recap covers the Dungeon Lootr expeditions patch notes for both updates, including the Eclipse March event, the tournament system, new classes, and the quality-of-life systems that make the grind far less painful.

Why These Two Updates Matter

Helpful resources: complete codes list, beginner guide, and comprehensive guide.

Update 1.5 and Update 2.5 represent two very different eras of Dungeon Lootr. Update 1.5 introduced competitive play through weekly tournaments and gave players their first real way to recycle and upgrade old gear. Update 2.5, by contrast, focused on accessibility — three new classes, all obtainable free-to-play, plus a limited-time event called Eclipse March.

According to community coverage from creator Echo, who posted full overview videos for both patches, the 2.5 update was widely praised because it dropped the game's usual mega-pack pattern. Instead of locking a new class behind a premium bundle, the developers made Dragon Slayer, White Hawk, and Hawk Commander grindable.

That shift matters for anyone deciding whether to return to the game. The Dungeon Lootr expeditions patch notes below break down exactly what changed, what's still active, and what you should prioritize first.

Dungeon Lootr Update 1.5 Patch Notes Recap

Update 1.5 was the "systems" update. It added competitive tournaments, three new classes, and two inventory-management features that veterans had requested for a long time.

Weekly Solo and Duo Tournaments

The headline addition was a rotating tournament mode with both solo and duo brackets. Each weekly generation randomizes two things:

  • Class modifiers — damage multipliers that favor specific playstyles
  • Enemy modifiers — which enemy types spawn during waves

In the launch week of tournaments, for example, magic classes received a 2x damage multiplier, physical classes got 1.5x, and ranged classes only received 0.5x. That same week's enemy modifier was "bosses only," meaning every wave was a boss wave.

Leaderboard rewards included cosmetics, lucky spins, gold, and stars. Placement also unlocked exclusive classes — Blade of Draconia for top solo finishers and Hollow for the top 15. The developers also warned that cheating disqualifies you from participation entirely.

New Classes in Update 1.5

Hell FiendRobux bundle (~8,000 Robux)Premium-only at launch
HollowTop 15 solo tournamentRare, leaderboard-exclusive
Blade of DraconiaTop 5 solo tournamentRare, leaderboard-exclusive

Gear Dismantle and Appraisal

Two quality-of-life systems launched in 1.5 and remain central to progression:

  • Gear Dismantle — Break down upgraded equipment to recover 40% of its upgrade value in ingots. If you sank exotic ingots into a piece of armor, you now get a meaningful chunk back instead of nothing.
  • Gear Appraisal — Spend stars to raise an item to your current level. A level 100 exotic can be pushed to level 175, for example, which costs roughly 6,000 stars.

Appraisal is the more impactful of the two. Every time the level cap rises, you can carry your existing exotics forward instead of regrinding exotic essence in challenge dungeons. Based on player experience, this single feature saves dozens of hours per level-cap increase.

Mystery Merchant

A rotating vendor called the Mystery Merchant appears every two hours. He accepts stars and sells exotic ingots, exotic ores, aspect gems, admin classes, and occasional cosmetics. Community reports also mention cosmetic sets like Shadow Knight showing up in his inventory.

Dungeon Lootr Update 2.5 Patch Notes: Eclipse March

Update 2.5 arrived with the Eclipse March event, a new level cap, and three classes that don't require a single Robux.

Eclipse March Event Details

Eclipse March is a limited-time mode structured like Boss Rush, running 25 floors total. Key requirements and rewards:

DetailValue
Level requirement200
Total floors25
Quest acceptanceMust accept before starting
Event durationRoughly one weekend (ended Monday)

You must accept the "Dragon Slayer: Begin the Hunt" quest before entering, or your progress won't count. Each full run takes only a few minutes, which makes it one of the better farming loops in the game.

Dragon Slayer, White Hawk, and Hawk Commander

All three Update 2.5 classes are free-to-play obtainable, a first for the game according to community coverage.

Dragon Slayer

  • 75 fragments to craft
  • 2–4 fragments per Eclipse March run
  • 1% direct drop chance from the event

White Hawk

  • 50 fragments to craft
  • 2–3 fragments guaranteed from floor 15 and up
  • 1.5% direct drop chance

Hawk Commander

  • Spinnable exotic class
  • 0.5% drop chance from the class spinner

There is also a paid bundle that grants Dragon Slayer, White Hawk, and Hawk Commander permanently for players who'd rather skip the grind. Notably, this bundle is optional rather than the only path — a direct response to pay-to-win complaints.

Eclipse March Floor Rewards

FloorReward Type
Floor 15White Hawk fragments, celestial/exotic body gear, reforge stones, spins
Floor 20Additional exotic gear, lucky spins
Floor 25Strongest exotic ring and body slot (12.5% drop rate), exotic ores, exotic ingots

The floor 25 ring and body piece are widely considered the best exotic gear from this event. With a 12.5% drop rate, most players will see at least one within ten runs.

Level Cap, Reforging, and Quality-of-Life Changes in 2.5

Update 2.5 wasn't just about new content — it rebalanced several core systems.

New Level Cap: 225

The cap moved from 200 to 225. Instead of regrinding gear from scratch, you can use the Appraisal system from Update 1.5 to push your existing exotics to the new maximum. This is exactly the scenario Appraisal was designed for, and it validates the system's long-term value.

Perfect Reforged Stone Buffs

Perfect Reforged Stones became dramatically better:

StatBefore 2.5After 2.5
Chance to decrease quality45%25%
Chance to increase quality54%70%
Chance for 100% qualityNone5%
Drop rate1%5%

The drop rate change alone is massive. Community reports describe Perfect Reforged Stones as extremely rare during Payload runs before 2.5, and the 5x drop rate increase makes high-quality gear far more attainable.

Easier Leveling and Payload Improvements

  • Player XP increased by 1.25x
  • Kokushibo class quest requirement reduced from 30 demonic metals to 15
  • Payload boat speed doubled
  • Payload coin rewards increased

The Kokushibo change is worth noting for anyone who already completed the original quest — community members have asked whether affected players will receive compensation for the extra 15 demonic metals, though no official confirmation exists yet.

Update 2.5 Codes

Three codes shipped with the patch, each granting aspect gems and exotic ingots:

  1. hawk
  2. slayer
  3. update2_5

Redeem these through the in-game code menu before they expire.

Update 1.5 vs. Update 2.5: What Changed

FeatureUpdate 1.5Update 2.5
Headline contentWeekly tournamentsEclipse March event
New classes5 (2 premium, 2 leaderboard)3 (all free-to-play)
Level capUnchanged200 → 225
Gear systemsDismantle, Appraisal addedPerfect Reforged Stone buffed
MonetizationHell Fiend bundleOptional class bundle
Codes50 lucky spins + aspect gems3 codes (gems + ingots)

The trend line is clear: 1.5 experimented with premium classes, and 2.5 walked that back in favor of grindable unlocks. If you're returning after a break, 2.5 is the friendlier entry point.

How to Prioritize Your Grind

If you're staring at both patches and wondering where to start, here's a practical order based on player experience:

  1. Claim patch note rewards first. Update 1.5 handed out 50 lucky spins and aspect gems just for reading the notes in-game. Free value takes ten seconds.
  2. Redeem all active codes. hawk, slayer, and update2_5 each give aspect gems and exotic ingots.
  3. Run Eclipse March before it ends. Dragon Slayer and White Hawk fragments are only farmable during the event window.
  4. Appraise your best exotics to level 225. Don't craft new gear until you've checked whether Appraisal is cheaper.
  5. Dismantle dead inventory. That level 100 exotic you outgrew is worth ingots, not nothing.
  6. Enter the weekly tournament. Even a mid-tier placement earns spins, gold, and stars.

Final Thoughts

The Dungeon Lootr expeditions patch notes for 1.5 and 2.5 tell a story of a game finding its footing. Update 1.5 built the infrastructure — tournaments, Appraisal, Dismantle — while Update 2.5 delivered content on top of it with three free classes and a rewarding event loop.

If you only have time for one thing, farm Eclipse March floors while the event is live. Everything else — Appraisal, Dismantle, Reforged Stones — stays in the game permanently. Limited-time fragments don't.
