Combat Guide/Throne of the Herald: Difference between revisions

=Introduction=

<div class="warningbox">All Combat equipment (ie. {{ItemIcon|Corundum Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Corundum Sword|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{ItemIcon|Revenant Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Revenant Shortbow|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Crafting}}, and {{ItemIcon|Lightning Mythical Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Lightning Staff|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Runecrafting}}) ''CANNOT BE EQUIPPED'' until the defeat of {{MonsterIcon|Bane, Instrument of Fear}}.</div>

* The majority of {{Skill|Herblore}} Potions can be created and used without any progression into {{TotH}} Combat.

* {{Skill|Agility}} provides more powerful buffs than previously available and does not require combat progression. {{Skill|Agility|Waterfall Crossing}} is an exceptional capstone obstacle that eliminates the need for {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} to reliably connect with attacks.

* {{ItemIcon|Melee Strength Potion IV|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Magic Damage Potion IV|notext=true}} Max Hit potions can be a solid and reliable source of increased damage.

* {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} is incredibly useful for meeting DR requirements, especially for Late Expansion monsters and dungeons.

* {{ItemIcon|Area Control Potion IV}} can be useful for negating harmful Slayer Area Effects like those of {{ZoneIcon|Lava Lake}}, {{ZoneIcon|Forsaken Tundra}} or {{ZoneIcon|Foggy Lake}}.

* {{ItemIcon|Penetration Potion IV}} are potentially the highest amount of raw dps that can be gained from a potion and, once unlocked, can be used as the default combat potion for all Expansion Combat as soon as {{ItemIcon|Ectoplasm}} is easily farmed.

* New weapons and armor from non-combat skills. All level 100+ armor is a direct upgrade from {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|Aeris}}, {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Helmet|Glacia}}, and {{ItemIcon|Terran God Helmet|Terran}} God Armors with better offensive stats and Damage Reduction. Unfortunately, the extra accuracy and damage of the {{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Helmet|Ragnar}} God Armor is lost, but the large amount of extra damage reduction is more than worth the tradeoff:

** {{Skill|Smithing}} is used to create {{ItemIcon|Corundum Helmet|Corundum}}, {{ItemIcon|Augite Helmet|Augite}}, {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Helmet|Meteorite}}, and {{ItemIcon|Divine Helmet|Divinite}} armor and weapons. All armor except {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Helmet|Meteorite}} must be upgraded with {{ItemIcon|Iridium Bar|Iridium}} and {{ItemIcon|Palladium Bar|Palladium}} Bars to get Damage Reduction and higher Defensive stats.

** {{Skill|Runecrafting}} is used to create {{ItemIcon|Poison Mythical Wizard Hat|Poison}}, {{ItemIcon|Lightning Mythical Wizard Hat|Lightning}}, and {{ItemIcon|Infernal Mythical Wizard Hat|Infernal}} Wizard robes of Master, Legendary, and Mythical tier. Robes do not need to be upgraded to acquire new stats. There are also new {{ItemIcon|Archaic Rune|Runes}} and {{ItemIcon|Archaic Wand|Weapons}} that facilitate the usage of the new Archaic Magicks - the first of which is unlocked after defeating the {{ZoneIcon|Ancient Sanctuary}}.

* {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}} monsters drop the items required to purchase the {{UpgradeIcon|Labyrinth Solution}} as well as the earliest gear upgrade options.

* {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}}, {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}} drop fragments of the most powerful weapons in the game - the {{ItemIcon|Agile Wings Rapier}}, {{ItemIcon|Feather Storm Crossbow}}, and {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand}}. A guide for these monsters can be found at [[Golden Cloud Mountains/Guide]]

* {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Protector}}, {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Watcher}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Devastator}} drop the highest damage reduction armor in the game - the {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Protector Helmet|Vorloran Protector Armor}}, {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Watcher Helmet|Vorloran Watcher Armor}}, and {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Devastator Helmet|Vorloran Devastator Armor}}. A guide for these monsters can be found at [[Millennium Gate/Guide]]
