. Crabs were used as a food of choice to reflect the approximate cooking level at the time of clearing the dungeon.
The simulations are run on a character with lvl 80 in all combat skills except

Due to the wide range of cases, it is recommended to use the Combat Simulator to compare the options tailored for your situation.

Aorpheat's Signet Ring otherwise.

Adjusted clear time [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is calculated by dividing the overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] by the number of dungeons [math]\displaystyle{ D_h }[/math] cleared per one hour.
The overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] is calculated by the sum of one hour plus the time required to produce the The Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fire Surge with the combination runes is used.
The approximate Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dragon Pickaxe upgrade - 1.3 seconds. The number of needed essence considers all runes used in crafting: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [math]\displaystyle{ T_m = N * (7 * (1 + 2/16 + 2/16) / 16 + 1 / 16) * 1.3 = N / 16 * (8.75 + 1) * 1.3 = N * 12.675 / 16 }[/math] For [math]\displaystyle{ T_r }[/math] compared to [math]\displaystyle{ T_m }[/math], the only difference is that the number of mined essence is multiplied by 2 instead of 1.3. [math]\displaystyle{ T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 1060 * (7 + 3.825) = 11475 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_m = 1205 * 12.675 / 16 = 955 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_r = 1205 * 9.75 / 8 = 1469 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 11475 + 955 + 1469 = 17499 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 16 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ A_{magic} = T_{all} / D_h = 17499 / 16 = 1094 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 655 * 10.825 = 7091 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 7091 + 0 + 0 = 10691 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 9.8 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ A_{rapier} = T_{all} / D_h = 10691 / 9.8 = 1091 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 626 * 10.825 = 6777 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 6777 + 0 + 0 = 10377 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 10.7 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ A_{claw} = T_{all} / D_h = 10377 / 10.7 = 970 }[/math] The Advanced Magic build, [math]\displaystyle{ A_{AdvMagic} }[/math]: [math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 1000 * 10.825 = 10825 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_m = 1170 * 12.675 / 16 = 927 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_r = 1170 * 9.75 / 8 = 1426 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 10825 + 927 + 1426 = 16778 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 20 }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ A_{AdvMagic} = T_{all} / D_h = 16778 / 20 = 839 }[/math] |
As you see, the Advanced Magic build clears faster than the Claw build by 13% and has many options to be improved further.
Therefore, the Advanced Magic build is suggested.
Food expenditure
The bulk of time is spent on preparing food, so it's heavily recommended to level your food-producing methods when possible. As an example,
Food | Fishing time (s) | Cooking time (s) | HP | HP per second |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
7.875 | 11 | 580 | 30.73 |
![]() |
3.825 | 7 | 150 | 13.86 |
In other words, if you prepare Whales instead of Crabs, you would double your food-prep speed, which is a huge boost to the clear time.
