Why Clear Dragons Den?

Dragons Den is usually cleared for the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Ancient Crossbow,

(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces, and

(U) Ancient D-hide Shield because they are wanted for the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Air and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Water God Dungeons. The

(U) Ancient D-hide Shield can be upgraded into the

Scaled Shield, a bis ranged shield for a very long time. Other parts of the

Ancient set are of little importance because you will use the

Aeris God Armour for the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Water God Dungeon. Keep them only if you didn't already get your

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Ranged to level 85.

If you wish to tweak the Combat Simulator Exports yourself, they can be found here.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Melee, it is advised to use a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Magic or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Melee build due to the Combat Triangle. This guide assumes that you have

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Auto Eat - Tier III.

Crabs were used as a food of choice to reflect the approximate cooking level at the time of clearing the dungeon. All the simulations for this guide were done without any Pets,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Astrology or Potions.
If you have

Finn, the Cat you can subtract 1

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level from the requirements.
If you have

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Leonardo you can subtract 2

Level from the requirements. According to the simulation - it takes, on average, 506 Elder Chest opens to obtain all items from the

-The {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} with the combination runes is used.
-The approximate {{Icon|Adventure}} situation is taken for Runecrafting. In particular, {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Elemental Potion IV|Elemental Potion}} are not used.

-The mining time is the one with the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} upgrade - 1.3 seconds.

-For <math>T_r</math> compared to <math>T_m</math>, the difference is that we don't account for one rune essence in the {{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune}} because we don't need to runecraft it separately unlike all other parts of the formula.

-====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, with some upgrades ({{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}}, {{ItemIcon|Cooking Skillcape}}, 99 mastery, top fishing rod, {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}), the fishing and cooking times are the following:
-{| class="wikitable"
-|-
-! Food
-! Fishing time (s)
-! Cooking time (s)
-! HP
-! HP per second
-|-
-| {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}}
-| 1.97
-| 9.35
-| 580
-| 51.2
-|-
-| {{ItemIcon|Crab}}
-| 0.96
-| 5.95
-| 150
-| 21.7
-|}
-In other words, if you prepare Whales instead of Crabs, you would more than double your speed of food preparation, which is a huge boost to the clear time.
