{{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} is largely the best melee weapon that does not require late-game content to obtain.

The Ancient Claw is assembled from the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw Fragment|fragments}} that drop only from the {{Icon|Pegasus|type=monster}}. You need to kill 3333 {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus|Pegasi}} on average to get enough fragments.

Reaching at least 20,000 accuracy is key for this build, as this prevents {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} from missing. Therefore, while the build only requires a minimum of {{SkillReq|Magic|72}}, and at most {{SkillReq|Magic|93}} or multiple accuracy bonuses from sources such as:
* {{ItemIcon|Magic Assistance Potion|Magic Assistance Potions}}
* {{Skill|Astrology}}
* {{Skill|Prayer}}
* {{Skill|Agility}}


In other words, the time that is required to get all resources for killing one Pegasus and to actually kill it is 400 seconds.
Worth noting that using a {{ItemIcon|Mystic Air Staff}} will ''drastically'' reduce the amount of runes spent - especially while using Surge Auroras. The staff will be slower, and will require more [[Food]] due to the player taking a greater number of hits.


The overall time to get all resources and kill all Pegasi is <math>137.5 * 3333 / 3600 = 127 \text{ hours}.</math>
'''Warning:''' Swapping {{ItemIcon|Miolite Shield}} for {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}} will not significantly reduce kill times, while also forcing you to spend more runes and therefore more time Runecrafting.  


The calculations in this whole guide don't take the Pegasus respawn time of 4 seconds into the account. It doesn't affect the ratio between the methods. If you want to add them, go ahead.
The grind time with this build is approximately 11 hours. Slayer equipment has no impact on the clear speed in this case.

If you swap from {{ItemIcon|Miolite Shield}} to {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}}, it will only increase the clear time because your melee defence would plummet, resulting in many more Whales eaten.

The overall grind time with this build is 51 hours. The slayer gear doesn't add to the clear speed in this case.
 
 
Overall, you want to put as much DR and Melee defence as possible when maintaining the 20k accuracy.
 
For instance, if you have {{SkillReq|Magic|93}} with the build above, you can swap {{ItemIcon|Enchanted Cape}} with {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} and reduce the food consumption even further.
 
The rune mining and crafting take the bulk of the time, so you might want to use all preservation and doubling bonuses that you have.

The levels are the same as in the Volcanic build. Due to Ancient Magic not benefiting from gear, the build was aimed to cram as much DR and melee evasion as possible. If you have {{SkillReq|Magic|95}}, you should be able to swap for {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Defence}} while still having the required 20k accuracy.
 
{{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} are used.
 
The simulation results are:

<math>T_c = 47.7 * 18.875 = 900.3</math>

|title=Details|color=default}}
 
The overall grind time with this build is 45 hours. But this build implies that you go through the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} with {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}}, which is a sizeable loss of DPS that will cost you more than 6 hours of the difference between this build and the Ancient Magick build.
 
==Analysis==
Essentially, we want to know which of two sequences is faster:
* Rapier > Claw > Volcano,
* Rapier > Volcano > Claw.
 
====Full-Sunset Volcano vs Full-Claw Volcano====
Let's consider the Sunset Rapier and Ancient Magick builds.
 
The difference between their timings of completing the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} is 17 hours.
 
The Volcano grind of the full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set is longer with the with {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} than it is with the Claw.
 
The question is then if the difference between the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|rapier}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} in the Volcanic grind is bigger than 17 hours.
 
We know the length of "Raper > Claw" and "Volcano > Claw", but we need the data on "Rapier > Volcano" and "Claw > Volcano".
 
We take this data from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#Weapon choice]].

The goal of clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is to get the {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set.
 
As specified on in the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide]], you need 1350 clears to almost certainly get a full set of Ancient armor or 832 clears to have a 75% chance. The median (50% or results) is 564 clears.

As you see from the Difference row, even the 50% chance leaves the option of getting the Claw after the Volcanic Cave in a 12-hour disadvantage.
 
Therefore, if you farm the Volcanic Cave completely with the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} and then farm the Claw with Ancient Magick, the sum of the Volcanic and Claw farm will be larger than if you were to farm the Claw with the Rapier and then doing the Volcanic Cave.
 
However, what if we were to use the [[Ancient Magicks]] as soon as we unlock it?
 
====Sunset/Ancient Volcano vs Claw/Ancient Volcano====
It is possible to clear the Volcano using the Ancient Magicks with the build from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic]]. Pay attention that you need 37% DR with {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=920|HP}} to idle it. That amount of DR is reached either through the {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} prayer or through the {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion II|DR potion II}}.
 
If we consider that we clear only 100 Volcanoes as a melee build and the rest as the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic|100-Volcanoes]] Magic build, then we compare the two sequences:
 
* Claw farm with Rapier + 100 Claw Volcanoes,
* 100 Rapier Volcanoes + Claw farm with Ancient Magicks.
 
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}}
| 2.0967
| 47.69
|-
| Difference (h)
|
| 4.87
|}
 
In other words, the advantage of farming 100 Volcanic Caves with the Claw when compared to the Sunset Rapier is less than 5 hours.
 
If we consider the rearranged sum of what we compare
 
* Claw farm with Rapier + 100 Claw Volcanoes,
* Claw farm with Ancient Magicks + 100 Rapier Volcanoes.
 
and then subtract the second row from the first one, then we would get
 
<math>17 - 4.87 = 12.13</math>
 
In other words the sequence where we farm the Claw after the Volcano is faster than the sequence of farming the claw with Rapier by 12 hours.
 
==Conclusion==
Farm the Pegasi with the Sunset Rapier melee build.
 
If you cannot get the Slayer gear for some reason, then the Ancient Magick build is the second best option because the Glacia is available only after you go through the Air God dungeon where you need all melee DPS you can get.

Introduction

Ancient Claw is a melee weapon that does not require late-basegame content to obtain. It is also a component for Infernal Claw.

The Ancient Claw is assembled from the fragments that drop only from Pegasus. On average, 3,333 Pegasi kills are required in order to obtain enough fragments.

The question is when to farm it and what combat style is the best for that. The main point of contention is whether to farm it before or after the

Volcanic Cave

, as this dungeon is farmed with a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

build and is vital for idling the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

.

To answer these questions, the following builds will be considered:

These builds were chosen to show the changes that the various drops bring into farming Pegasus.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

builds were not considered because the Pegasus is

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

and has the highest evasion against Ranged in addition to the Combat Triangle.

Builds

Each build assumes the following:

  • The ring slot is always occupied with Magical Ring.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier III     is used.
  • Whale (Perfect) is used as the Food of choice because it is considered a middle ground between starting out and being fully levelled in

  • The character is on the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Skill levels are given so that these simulations may be replicated using the Combat Simulator add-in.

Reaching at least 20,000 accuracy is key for this build, as this prevents

from missing. Therefore, while the build only requires a minimum of

 Level 72

, and at most

 Level 93

or multiple accuracy bonuses from sources such as:

Worth noting that using a Mystic Air Staff will drastically reduce the amount of runes spent - especially while using Surge Auroras. The staff will be slower, and will require more Food due to the player taking a greater number of hits.

Warning: Swapping Miolite Shield for Book of Eli will not significantly reduce kill times, while also forcing you to spend more runes and therefore more time Runecrafting.

The grind time with this build is approximately 11 hours. Slayer equipment has no impact on the clear speed in this case.
