Dungeons
While dungeons are unchanged, the Ancient Relics game mode requires players to complete dungeons to increase their skill levels, which are otherwise locked to a very low level.
While dungeons can be completed in any order up to
, the following is a suggested order based on the max hit of the boss of each dungeon and ease of clearing, included is a link to the guide to that dungeon, as well as the combat level cap the player will have for that dungeon.
The guides are not Ancient Relics exclusive and are only meant to be used as a guideline. You will have to manually eat in every single dungeon (with the exception of Barrier Dungeons). Doing the first Dungeons idle is possible with the right Ancient Relics, however it would require an extreme amount of time and effort and is thus highly recommended against.

Make 100% sure to clear ALL Dungeons and spend ALL skill cap increases before clearing
, this includes the optional
and
which have
requirements. If you do those after
your skill caps will bug out.
Note: The recommended order for dungeons does not match the order shown in the game.
Skills
Skill level are initially capped 10 which means that you will need to carefully manage resources and equipment early on. Completing a dungeon will raise your skill caps by 15, so this is a good first goal. Fishing and cooking are locked until you beat
, making dungeons considerably more difficult. You will need creative ways of getting food that heals more hitpoints.
Skill XP is capped at the next level above the cap -1 experience, anything above that will be deleted. Mastery and global mastery XP works as normal.
You can see the recommendations here.
Disclaimers
- Skill choices don't always pop up in the middle of the screen after defeating a dungeon, if this happens your skill choices will be in green text above the Shop in the side menu.
- If you're not sure of which skills to pick or don't want to make a choice right at that moment they pop up, you can cancel it by clicking anywhere that isn't the skill choices and the choices will be waiting for you in green text above the Shop in de side menu.
- Holding Enter to eat (on desktop) will cause your skills to be picked automatically (it will pick the left/top choice by default). If you don't wish this to happen, ensure that you don't hold Enter for the last few attacks.
- There is currently a bug which seldomly happens. That you don't get any skill choices or Combat cap increases at all after clearing a dungeon, in that case it is recommended you visit the Melvor Discord #aod-ancient-relics channel and ask for the solution.
Food
There are 3 good options for Food before
and
are unlocked (although it is very unlikely you will Fish for Food after unlocking it too):
- 1) Error creating thumbnail: File missingThieving Level 34 unlocksError creating thumbnail: File missingChef.Error creating thumbnail: File missingChef only has food as common steals.
- 2) Slayer Resupplies are a good option for Food and Prayer Points, it also provides Arrows and Bolts and
Light Runes.
- Slayer Coins can be gotten from doing Slayer tasks
- Casual Township Tasks are also a very good source of large amounts of Slayer Coins, they reward 1,000
per Error creating thumbnail: File missingSlayer level, any % increases from other sources can be applied to these rewards.
- 3) Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming provides large amounts of low-healing food, which is very useful for auto-eating.
Potatoes are a good option for the very beginning.
Ancient Relics
Performing any skill will give you a small chance of discovering an ancient relic. Whilst it is possible to get all of the ancient relics without completing dungeons, it is not recommended. It is worth noting that many of the ancient relics will give you passive rewards that go beyond the skill and should not be overlooked. There is however a guaranteed ancient relic when you reach skill level 20 which is likely to happen after completing your first dungeon. You should try to get these relics as soon as they are available.
Ancient Relics can be obtained during any action, you do need to actually get experience and this actually hit for the Combat Relics.
actions that grant
experience only grants chances for the Fishing Relic, not the Strength one.
The only things that effect your Relic chances per hour are lower intervals and the Relics that grant 1% increased chance to find a Relic. Other than that it's just Random Chance.
You can get Relics even when you're at the Skill cap, in theory you are able to obtain every single Relic before even doing a single Dungeon (apart from the
and
one).
The ones you get for free at Levels 20 and 99 are just extra. They can all be obtained by random chance, these are just guaranteed ones if you reach those levels.
Lesser Relics
While skilling you can be rewarded with Lesser Relics, which can be equipped to give boosts to that skill. One lesser relic will be used for every action. For example, in
the 
Mining Lesser Relic will guarantee one gem for every ore, which is a great way to earn 
early in the game. Similarly, the 
Thieving Lesser Relic provides an extra +30 stealth which will come in handy when you want to progress
.
Lesser Relics have a 1/1,000 chance on dropping every skilling action you do, they always drop per 300. They are just normal items and don't require you to spend them all before you can get new ones, they stack up to the global maximum items of 4.6 billion.
Skill Cap Recommendations
After each Dungeon you defeat you get 5 Skill Cap increases (6 in 
Throne of the Herald). This is the recommended priority of choices in descending order. When offered the option between 2 skills, always go for the lowest number on the list first until at least the level in the 3rd column is reached, once the 3rd columns level has been reached, you can disregard the skill unless mentioned otherwise.
These recommendations are focused on killing 
The Herald as soon as possible, to unlock both 
Harold and unlocking all level 120 skill caps.
The recommended setup for this is quite cheesey but it is a very difficult fight with our caps & trying to rush it, you can find the recommended Setup & Strategy here. If cheesing is not your way the linked Strategy is not for you and it is recommended you make up your Strategy for killing it.
If this is not your goal the recommendations might mean less to you, the reason why the recommendations are made should however still be taken into account.
Base Game
There's some Skills with the same priority number, feel free to pick either if you get a choice between the 2 of them, neither is more impactful than the other.
| Priority Number | Skill | Until level | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer
|
99 | You can get locked in your progression if you don't get enough unlocks in Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slayer. It is technically possible for the random skill picks to still lock you by not giving this option, make sure you don't skip this choice. Not getting the last skill cap increase to Level 99 before you move on to Error creating thumbnail: File missing Impending Darkness Event will lock you out of that dungeon and all of Throne of the Herald entirely.
|
| 2 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting
|
85 | The best way to clear the Dungeons up to Error creating thumbnail: File missing Volcanic Cave is using the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Magic style so Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting is very important to level up.
|
| 3 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning
|
99 | Summoning levels are crucial for  Atlas of Discovery content.  Tortoise  Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dragon is highly recommended for Underwater City. It offers many other benefits along the way, always try to be leveling Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning when you're not at the level cap.
|
| 4 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Astrology
|
80 | The Master Relic in this skill is VERY powerful, start by mastering all the combat-related Constellations, save the pure skilling ones until after you defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missing Throne of the Herald. This Master Relic requires you to fully max out all the attributes offered in each Constellation, this involves getting 99 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mastery in it plus buying all the options for Dust (even the crossed out ones). Going for the last Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99 unlock is suggested if the other skill cap increase is not on this table or the level has already been reached.
|
| 4 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility
|
55 | There are several combat boosting Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility obstacles available up to obstacle 7, Error creating thumbnail: File missing Raft Building in obstacle slot 8 we can't build because  Swordfish is very hard to come by. You can technically get them from the  Food Box I but the chances are too low and thus you will need to clear too many Dungeons to get enough to build the obstacle. All you need is Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 50 for Obstacle 6 (7 only provides negatives).
|
| 5 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving
|
40 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 34 unlocks Error creating thumbnail: File missing Chef which is a great source of Food. Higher level unlocks can provide good but shouldn't be prioritized over other options, if the other skill choice is not on this table, feel free to pick until Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99. If you get Error creating thumbnail: File missing Thieving Relic #4 or #5, you can more safely thieve without needing Food.
|
| 6 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining
|
40 | Best source of  Gold Ore and  Silver Ore to upgrade your Armour to (G), alternative would be killing  Statue, which is incredibly slow. There is no need to level it further as you can get all the Armour you need from Combat
|
| 6 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing
|
40 | To turn your Gold Ore and Silver Ore into  Gold Bar and  Silver Bar. See Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mining for reason why not higher than 40.
|
| 7 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography
|
90 | There are several good rewards from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cartography in the form of Points of Interests, check out the full list here. The main goal however for Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is (31, 17)  The Sand-Covered Treasure for 1,000  Damage Reduction Potion IV which you can turn in for 5,000 Damage Reduction Potion IV with Error creating thumbnail: File missing Township Hard Task 15. The other goal of Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is one of the requirements to unlock  Underwater Ruins to obtain  Engulfing Vortex Longbow as this is one of the best bows in the game for Ancient Relics and it won't be replaced until Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 120.
|
| 7 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology
|
90 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 90 is the other half of the requirement to unlock Underwater Ruins for Engulfing Vortex Longbow, which requires (2, 28)  Melantis to be unlocked, this is done by completing the clue chain starting here. Other worthwhile items to pick up from Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archaeology are:  Accuracy Gem,  Agile Gem,  Ancient Silk,  Old Spyglass,  Dirty Mining Boots,  Blacksmith Tongs,  Ring of Summoning,  Old Summoning Gloves,  Golden Leaf (to stick in passive slot after Error creating thumbnail: File missing Into the Mist),  Barrier Gem to make Tortoise. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 120 unlock can be useful for  Pirate Hook and  Merman Pendant but it takes a really long time to level that high.
|
| 8 | Error creating thumbnail: File missing Farming
|
70 | Good source of passive generating low healing Food. Which is very useful when Auto-Eating. |
It is highly recommended you do not pick any unlocks for
until the point you no longer want to farm Casual Township Tasks for Slayer Coins. Keeping the cap at Level 10 will keep the rerolling them free.
All skills not mentioned on this table or levels above those that are listed do not really matter, you can pick and choose whatever you desire, although level 20 can be fun to get your first free random Relic.
Throne of the Herald
Skill cap increases for the Throne of the Herald Expansion are pretty simple. You gain 3 levels in all combat related skills including
in Throne of the Herald. The top priority is to get at least 1 (preferably 2)
unlock for 
Despair Rune and 
Soul Rune to cast 
Despair which will be almost mandatory for
Phase 3.
Other than that pick
whenever offered when the alternative is not your first
unlock to make combat easier/better.
Level 116 unlock is a good 3rd option as
adds a lot of combat value.
All other options shouldn't really matter as you don't need to level any other skills at all and your Non-Combat Skills should be so low to not be effected by a higher Skill cap.
Starting tips
- Township Tasks: Check out the easier Error creating thumbnail: File missingTownship tasks as often these will give useful rewards such as food, or which can be a big boost early on. Use a
Bronze Dagger to kill 100 
Plant. This will complete the township task and reward you with 2,000 Potatoes. - Cartography: Starting Error creating thumbnail: File missingCartography will give you
50. Surveying the 
Farmer's Market at (13, 16) which is close to your starting position for 500. - Slayer Tasks: Selecting a new slayer task is free, and so for every task keep re-rolling until you get a low level monster. You will need to stick to Plant,
Chicken and 
Cow. Use potatoes while training combat, and save high healing food items such as Shrimp for the Error creating thumbnail: File missingChicken Coop dungeon. - Runecrafting: Ancient Relics uses the hardcore Combat Triangle. This means magic is powerful against melee monsters. Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting will let you unlock more damaging spells. Mine plenty of
Rune Essence to create runes and obtain staves such as the 
Staff of Earth including the highest magic gear you can obtain. You can train Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 10 on the Cow. - Township Just like a standard playthrough it is advised to go for
Aeris Worship at the start. - Mining: The Mining Lesser Relic provides a guaranteed gem. This makes mining ore a good source of early on. Sell
Jewel of Rhaelyx to obtain 1,000,000 and unlock Error creating thumbnail: File missingAuto Eat - Tier I early, as this will give a considerable advantage. - Melee: Train melee to 10 XP and unlock the
Golbin Thief. Use Error creating thumbnail: File missingMining andError creating thumbnail: File missingSmithing to create 50. Make at least one Error creating thumbnail: File missingGolbin Thief so that you can receive more marks. - Chicken Coop The Error creating thumbnail: File missingChicken Coop can be defeated once you have maxed out your magic, hitpoints and prayer XP. You should wear your strongest magic gear possible, and a good supply of runes. Use Earth Strike magic, and Thick Skin as your prayer for a small advantage. Use Shrimp to maintain your health.
Once you have defeated
, you will unlock level 15 in combat, and the skills you have selected in the choices that popped up.
- Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic is the suggested attack style up toError creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave orError creating thumbnail: File missingAir God Dungeon as long as you get enoughError creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting cap unlocks.
If youError creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting cap increases are not offered it is suggested you switch to Melee afterError creating thumbnail: File missingSpider Forest.
Either way forError creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave and beyond it is recommended take inspiration from These Dungeon Guides. You'll most likely have to manual eat at almost every dungeon as most of the suggested Setups and Stats don't work for Ancient Relics.
Here are some suggestions on where to go next:
- Discovering the
Wet Forest at (9, 16) will reward 60 
Oxilyme Seeds, 60 
Mantalyme Seeds and 60 
Lemontyle Seeds which can help you get started in Error creating thumbnail: File missingFarming andError creating thumbnail: File missingHerblore. 
The Runed Battlefield at (7, 15) provides 1,000 
Mind Rune, 1,000 
Chaos Rune and 1,000 
Death Rune which will give added boosts to Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagic for the early bosses.- The
Holy Isles at (17, 17) will reward 100 
Medium Urn and if buried will give you a big Error creating thumbnail: File missingPrayer advantage. - The
Castle of Kings at (21, 16) gives you 
Knight's Cape and 
(G) Mithril Platebody which is a great way to get some early damage reduction (DR). However, you will need Error creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 20 to equip these items. - Discovering
The Eye-Conic Cave at (10, 18) unlocks the Eye-conic Cave combat area which grants access to 
Blind Ghost which drops 
Lesser Summoning Amulet which is extremely powerful and remains Best in Slot until you get 100% special weapons (damage wise), the only real alternative to this amulet is 
Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs which provides Damage Reduction and some offensive stats, which only gets better with 100% special weapons or when you need Damage Reduction over damage.
Defeating this enemy should be rather easy with a simple Barrier Gem equiped. - Discovering
Mucky Cave at (22, 18) unlocks the Mucky Cave combat area which provides 
Barrier Dust and 
Barrier Sapping Gloves. Defeating 
Vampiric Bat should also be rather simple with a Barrier Gem. - Discovering
Shrouded Horizon at (4, 26) provides 50,000 which can be used to purchase 10 slayer re-supplies. There is a relatively direct path available from the starting position that can be done with 10 cartography, but will cost up to 500,000 in travel. - Discovering
The Shadow Lurkers at (8, 14) provides 500 and 500 which can be used to upgrade armour before getting the ability to mine and smith these materials.
Continue defeating dungeons to increase your skill caps and along the way you will discover the ancient relics. Good luck!
Dungeon Walkthrough
This section gives a walkthrough on how to defeat the early dungeons without relying too much on player skill and/or luck. In your playthrough, you should use the ancient relics and skills that you unlock. It is possible that your route will deviate quickly from this path. This guide does not rely on any particular skills or relics being obtained and so should work for most playthroughs, but will necessarily be optimum for your relics and skills.
For the walkthrough, it is assumed that you have levelled all of the combat stats to the maximum after every dungeon. And that all combat training is done using Slayer Tasks to give . You will need a supply of , and it is assumed that you are either mining ore to obtain jewels, or thieving and selling items. When equipped, the Mining Lesser Relic will give a guaranteed jewel for every ore which is a good way to make early .
In your playthrough, it is recommended that you level every skill to 20, as soon as it becomes available, as this will give a guaranteed Ancient Relic. Ancient relics often give benefits outside of the skill itself, so so not overlook the benefits these and the lesser relics. Leveling township and farming as you go along is recommended as these passive skills will pay dividends in time.
Chicken Coop: Level 10
Start mining Rune Essence until you reach level 10. Equip the Mining Lesser Relic if it becomes available. With
make roughly equal numbers of air runes, mind runes and earth runes. After that, craft enough runes to create the following magic gear;
Start
to unlock 50, but save this for the dungeon. Survey and discover Farmer's Market in (13, 16) to obtain 500 which will be your main combat training food supply. Next, survey and discover 
The Restless Sanctum at (13, 14) to get 
1000 which can be buried for 
.
Level up all of your combat skills to level 10 on Plant and Cow using low-level slayer tasks. When you obtain
craft 50 to allow more marks to be discovered.
For the dungeon battle, equip
and equip
and
. Time your Shrimp eats carefully when battling 
Mumma Chicken so that you get the most hits in.
You should now unlock Level 15, and will be given a random selection of skill boosts.
Undead Graveyard: Level 15
Level up all of your combat skills to level 15. If you have any skills that are 20 (or higher) then level these up to give you more Ancient Relics.
If needed, mine more Rune Essence and craft the slightly stronger magic equipment as shown in the table below. If
was not upgraded then stick to the Earth Wizard Gear:
| Slot | Item |
|---|---|
 |  Fire Acolyte Wizard Hat |
 |  Air Acolyte Wizard Robes |
 |  Water Acolyte Wizard Bottoms |
 |  Earth Acolyte Wizard Boots |
 |  Staff of Fire |
Survey and discover 
Old Village to unlock
. Navigate a path that follows the lowest cost tiles (and avoids any other POIs) until you reach the 
The Friendly Fisherman at (6, 27), which rewards 
50. Next, survey and discover Shrouded Horizon at (4, 26) to get 50,000. Purchase 
5 from the Shop to complete the township task that gives you 
1000. Obtain the 
Occultist and then craft as many
as you can.
Using your remaining , purchase as many Basic Resupply as you can afford to give you 
Lobster. You should now have more than enough food to complete the dungeon.
For the dungeon battle, equip Manta Ray or Lobster,
,
and
spells. Use
and
to increase your chances of success.
Spider Forest: Level 20
Level up all of the combat skills to unlock all of the Ancient Relics. Do the same for any new skills that you have obtained (only level them to 20 for the Ancient Relics.
If you didn't get
cap increases it is recommended you visit (7, 15) The Runed Battlefield for some limited 1,000 Chaos Rune and 1,000 Death Rune to be able to cast Bolt Spells.
Using the Mining Lesser Relic mine your best ore available to obtain Jewel of Rhaelyx which you can sell. When you have 1,000,000 available, purchase
to make combat slightly easier. It is especially important that you spend the time to train your prayer and hitpoints. Equip
summon. During the battle with 
Spider King you will need to time your eats carefully to avoid being killed and it may take more than one attempt.
The optimal way to Manual Eat is to wait with eating your food until you have preformed your attack and before the monster attacks again. This will take some practice but it is suggested you learn how to do this effectively at this stage of the game, as you will be needing to Manual Eat for the majority of your playthrough.
This is the last Dungeon where you can brute force your way through with Magic without getting
Skill caps. It is recommended you swap over to Melee if after
your
is still capped at Level 10. You can clear all the way to
with Melee if you don't get enough
unlocks, this will however take more time and effort so switching back to
when you do get these unlocks is highly suggested. Use the following Setup for the next Dungeon if you are still capped at Level 10
.
| Slot | Item | DR% |
|---|---|---|
 |  (G) Mithril Helmet | 3% |
 |  (G) Mithril Platebody | 3% |
 |  (G) Mithril Platelegs | 3% |
 |  (G) Mithril Boots | 3% |
 |  Silver Ruby Necklace | 0% |
 |  Mithril Scimitar | 0% |
 |  (G) Mithril Shield | 3% |
| Total | 15% | |
Obtain the 
Silver Ruby Necklace from 
Mummy or
, if available.
To get the Mithril gear, kill 
Mithril Knight until you have a full set of Mithril Armour. Complete the
Normal Task #1 to get your upgraded (G) Mithril Platebody and 
(G) Mithril Shield. Then go back to killing Mithril Knight to complete the set again.
You can upgrade the Armour pieces with Silver Bar to upgrade them to (S) and then Gold Bar to upgrade them to (G), after doing this the Items will get their Damage Reduction stats. This however shouldn't be needed for the upcoming Dungeon
.
Silver Bar and Gold Bar can be obtained through
and
if you have those Skill caps at 40, if you don't the only other viable alternative is Statue.
Mid-End Base Game Tips & Comments
- The Dungeons Order suggests you do the God Dungeons before doing Trickery Temple and Cult Grounds, it is entirely possible to do these Dungeons earlier but it is recommended you do them after the God Dungeons to make them a lot easier due to better accuracy for yourself and your Summons
- The Barrier Dungeon guides suggest you farm up (B) Gear around Cult Grounds to do Underwater City more effectively, in Ancient Relics you can skip farming up the (B) Gear and we'll just aim for first clears to our Skill cap increases and Dungeon unlocks.
- After clearing Error creating thumbnail: File missingVolcanic Cave it is suggested you farmError creating thumbnail: File missingUnholy Forest for a
Ring of Malice (m), this ring is Best in Slot for the rest of the game. The only ring that sometimes beats it is 
Ring of Power which you get from completing Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event. - It is highly suggested that you get a Engulfing Vortex Longbow just before defeating Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event. Engulfing Vortex Longbow has a low drop chance from Error creating thumbnail: File missingMermaid Archer and quite highError creating thumbnail: File missingCartography andError creating thumbnail: File missingArchaeology requirements (Level 90 both) but it is well worth getting. It remains the best Bow you can get up till theError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 120
Feather Storm Crossbow. 
Water Pulse Staff is also a very strong staff that can't miss. You can get these from the Error creating thumbnail: File missingMerman in Underwater Ruins. It is definitely not required as the Throne of the Herald Wands with Archaic Spells are equally powerful / stronger but require much higher Error creating thumbnail: File missingRunecrafting earlier to be used.- You only need Elite Slayer Gear to defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event.
- In Ancient Relics you completely skip getting Dragon or Ancient gear, Error creating thumbnail: File missingAir God Dungeon can be cleared in (G) Mithril Equipment if you're patient enough, (G) Rune Equipment is suggested for it. Dragon and Ancient is absolute not needed and generally a huge waste of time to get at this point in the game.
- Once you defeat Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event it is advised to switch your Worship to
Bane if you don't have Township Ancient Relic 4. If you do have Township Ancient Relic 4 you can keep Aeris or switch to Bane, if you want more 
Mastery Magnet to go for 100% Completion switch to Bane. - Just before or after Error creating thumbnail: File missingImpending Darkness Event is a good time to take anError creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology break. This may take a while. Your cap should be atError creating thumbnail: File missingLevel 99 at this point, Level 99 gives Mastery bonus and should be done asap. Once you're Level 99 and have the Master Ancient Relic unlocked inError creating thumbnail: File missingAstrology it is a good idea to max out the combat Constellations (Error creating thumbnail: File missingIridan,Error creating thumbnail: File missingTerra,Error creating thumbnail: File missingVale,Error creating thumbnail: File missingSyllia,Error creating thumbnail: File missingArachi and optional:Error creating thumbnail: File missingTellus) This is preferably done during a
