+====== Stairs ======
+{{ rpd:images:stairs.png|Stairs}}
+**Stairs** are essential elements in Remixed Dungeon that allow the hero to travel between dungeon levels. There are two main types of stairs that facilitate vertical movement through the dungeon.
+==== Types of Stairs ====
+==== Downward Stairs ====
+  * Allow the hero to descend to deeper levels of the dungeon
+  * Appear automatically on each level except the final level (Halls level 25)
+  * Marked with a '>' symbol on the dungeon map
+  * Required to progress deeper into the dungeon
+  * Once descended, can only be returned to using an [[rpd:amulet_item|Amulet of Yendor]]
+==== Upward Stairs ====
+  * Allow the hero to ascend to higher levels of the dungeon
+  * Appear on most levels (except the first level of each area)
+  * Marked with a '<' symbol on the dungeon map
+  * Allow retreat to higher levels or return to town
+  * Can be used to backtrack to previous levels (until the hero goes deeper)
+==== Special Properties ====
+  * Stairs are always visible on the dungeon map (not hidden behind fog of war)
+  * They're safe tiles - no random events occur when standing on stairs
+  * Stairs cannot be destroyed or blocked by enemies
+  * When entering a level, the hero appears on the upward stairs (or the entrance on level 1)
+==== Usage Strategy ====
+  * It's often beneficial to explore a level fully before descending
+  * Upward stairs can be used to retreat from dangerous situations
+  * Some players use upward stairs to rest (regenerate HP/MP) away from wandering monsters
+  * In challenges that prevent return to town, upward stairs stop appearing after level 1
