Players can register to enter criterion dungeons via the V&C Dungeon Finder, found under Duty in the main menu.
Players will be matched into parties comprised of the following roles:
* Item level restrictions and role requirements do not apply when registering with four players.
Upon entering Another Sil’dihn Subterrane, party members will gain a bonus to damage dealt according to the composition of their party. The bonus increases with the number of jobs in your party that rely on actions that affect the entire party.
This bonus system is intended to compensate for the proportional decrease in utility of such actions as party size decreases.
* The effectiveness of the damage bonus will differ between roles.
* This bonus will only be applied to jobs and has no effect on classes.
When undertaking Another Sil’dihn Subterrane, all party members will be equipped with the action Variant Raise II. No other variant actions can be set.
Variant Raise II may only be used once per party member. However, there will be opportunities to replenish charges of this action.
The following additional rule will be applied to Another Sil’dihn Subterrane:
While undertaking this duty, players will be subjected to a status effect that prevents resurrection by certain means. Raise effects granted via Variant Raise II are exempt from this restriction.
By speaking with Trisassant in Old Sharlayan (X:11.9 Y:13.3), players can exchange tokens obtained from completing criterion dungeons for various goods.
Another Sil’dihn Subterrane (Savage) is a high-difficulty version of the previously introduced criterion dungeon.

Unlike normal dungeons, players will be unable to return to the criterion dungeon’s starting point once incapacitated.
In the event all party members are incapacitated, all progress will be reset and the party must begin from the start of the instance.
After a certain amount of time has passed since first engaging enemies in the criterion dungeon, all enemies will be granted the Sewer-dweller effect, greatly increasing their damage dealt while also reducing their damage taken.
* The time until Sewer-dweller is applied to enemies will be reset should all party members be incapacitated.
Party members who log out of the game while in combat will be returned in an incapacitated state.

PATCH 6.25: Criterion Dungeon. Whereas variant dungeons are casual, story-based experiences which can be completed by solo players, criterion dungeons will challenge a party of four adventurers with battles of punishing difficulty.
Criterion dungeons are available in two difficulty levels, and impose unique rules and restrictions─such as limiting character resurrections. Assemble a band of trustworthy comrades to overcome every obstacle and explore every corner of the subterrane!
