-A dungeon's rating typically has to do with the age of the dungeon, however there are exceptions. For instance, if a dungeon were the typical depth of a 'D Rank Dungeon' but has 'B Ranked Monsters' then it would be averaged to a 'High C Ranked Dungeon'. This can also work the other way around; if a dungeon has 'D Ranked Monsters' and the typical depth of a 'B Ranked Dungeon' then it would be a 'Lesser C Rank Dungeon'.
Example:
-Dungeon Rating D + Monster Rating B = High C Ranked Dungeon
-Dungeon Rating B + Monster Rating D = Lesser C Ranked Dungeon
