(G) Rune Armour, 
Paladin Gloves, 
Elite Amulet of Strength, 
Sunset Rapier, At the end, you should have: Full
(G) Ancient Armour, Paladin Gloves, 
Elite Amulet of Defence, 
Dragonfire Shield, 
Sandstorm Ring
Elite Amulet of Defence from upgrading 
Amulets of Defence, which are dropped by 
Purple Goo Monsters, and 
Silver Diamond Ring, dropped by 
Mummies, are our best friends for now; the limiting factor for the remaining dungeons is how much DR you have access to.
Now that you've got full Rune (G) Armour and Paladin Gloves for 32% DR,
880 Hitpoints will allow you to idle
for your first useful cape, the 
Fire Cape. At this point, you can expect to eat around
30,000 HP worth of food per kill without
.
At this point, you should be using 
Standard Resupplies for your food needs. If you prefer to fight monsters instead, then 
Sweaty Monsters for 
Salmon and 
Lobster will reduce your overall time spent farming food. Expect to get food equivalent to 10.2 HP/kill in Salmon, 6.25 HP/kill in Lobster, and 2.3 HP/kill in 
Shark.
Once you have the Fire Cape, you can farm the Sandstorm Ring from 
Sand Beasts, which will be your best-in-slot
DPS ring. You can even use
if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your
clears. Hopefully you find the
comfortable, as the goal is to get the 
Ancient Platebody, 
Ancient Platelegs, 
Ancient Helmet, and 
Ancient Shield. There are no Ancient Boots and 
Dragon Boots are unobtainable on HCCO (as is the 
Dragon Helmet,) so you'll continue rocking your 
(G) Rune Boots for quite a while. Getting the 
Dragon Platebody and/or 
Dragon Platelegs is only useful if you plan to upgrade them to (G), as you still need the extra DR that comes from the (G) upgrade.
Once you get your full Ancient Armour, make another visit to 
Statues to finish off gathering 
Gold Bars and 
Silver Bars and upgrade everything to (G). Luckily the 
Elite Chests you've been opening also drop plenty of Silver Bars and Gold Bars.
In total, you'll need 6,000 Silver Bars and 10,000 Gold Bars for full (G) Ancient Armour. If you get all the Silver Bars you need, move to Purple Goo Monsters for faster Gold Bars. You can also hold onto the 
Amulets of Fury for the 
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs grind later; you'll need 10 Fury Amulets in total.
After getting the 
(G) Ancient Shield, there's nothing stopping you from immediately upgrading it again to the Dragonfire Shield, so head to the 
Green Dragons to get 7,050 
Dragon Bones. You can alternatively wait until getting some
levels, as Green Dragons are slightly weaker to
and
than to
, but at this level, you shouldn't have any trouble, and the 8% DR of the Dragonfire Shield will be very useful as a
and
offhand for God dungeons.
Once you have full (G) Ancient Armour and Dragonfire Shield for 43% DR (or 40% with 
Amulet of Looting and Sandstorm Ring, it's time to grind any remaining melee skills to ideally at least
/
/
while working your way towards
for your next food upgrade - 
Trout from 
Raging Horned Elites or RHE; you can also take advantage of the 
Gold Emerald Ring from Mummies to speed up stat grinding.
Once you get to this point, you can expect 447.8 HP in food for every kill! Once you start killing Raging Horned Elites, hold onto the 
Ancient Arrows they drop as they're your best arrows, even though they can't be equipped until
. Additionally, the 
Large Horns that they drop will likely replace 
Master Farmers for GP farming, as the GP/hr is about the same (not to mention the food, arrows, and
points you're getting), with a much lower bank demand.
