===Why clear Dragons Den?===
=Why Clear Dragons Den?=
{{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} is usually cleared for the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}}, {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces}}, and optionally {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Shield}} because they are wanted for the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon|notext=true}} [[Air God Dungeon/Guide|Air]] and {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon|notext=true}} [[Water God Dungeon/Guide|Water]] God Dungeons.  
{{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} is usually cleared for the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}}, {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces}}, and {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Shield}} because they are wanted for the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon|notext=true}} [[Air God Dungeon/Guide|Air]] and {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon|notext=true}} [[Water God Dungeon/Guide|Water]] God Dungeons. The {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Shield}} can be upgraded into the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}}, a bis ranged shield for a very long time.


Other parts of the {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Body|Ancient}} set are of little importance because you will use the {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|notext=true}} [[Aeris God Armour]] for the {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}}.
Other parts of the {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Body|Ancient}} set are of little importance because you will use the {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|notext=true}} [[Aeris God Armour]] for the {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}}. Keep them only if you didn't already get your {{Skill|Ranged}} to level 85.


===Gear to idle===


Because all enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} are {{Icon|Melee}}, it is advised to use a {{Skill|Magic}} or {{Icon|Melee}} build due to the [[Combat Triangle]].
* If you wish to tweak the [[Combat Simulator]] Exports yourself, they can be found [[/Sims|here]].


This guide assumes that you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}}.


The simulations are run on a character with lvl 80 in all combat skills except {{Skill|Hitpoints}}.
=Standard Guide=


Due to the wide range of cases, it is recommended to use the [[Combat Simulator]] to compare the options tailored for your situation.
Because all enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} are {{Icon|Melee}}, it is advised to use a {{Skill|Magic}} or {{Icon|Melee}} build due to the [[Combat Triangle]].
 
The ring slot in the given builds is free. It is suggested to put {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}} here if you have it or {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} otherwise.
 
====Magic====
 
Below is a basic build that needs {{SkillReq|Runecrafting|90}} to create, {{SkillReq|Magic|78}} to wear, and {{Icon|Hitpoints|qty=830|type=skill|HP}} to idle.
 
The spell of choice is {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}}.

The clear speed of this build is 9.8 dungeons per hour with 655 {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}}.
 
The adjusted clear time is 835 seconds per dungeon.


With the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}}, it is 10.7 dungeons per hour with 626 Crabs and the adjusted clear time being 746 seconds per dungeon.
This guide assumes that you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}}. {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}} were used as a food of choice to reflect the approximate cooking level at the time of clearing the dungeon.


===Adjusted clear time===
All the simulations for this guide were done without any [[Pets]], {{Skill|Astrology}} or [[Potions]]. <br>
Adjusted clear time <math>A</math> is calculated by dividing the overall time <math>T_{all}</math> by the number of dungeons <math>D_h</math> cleared per one hour.
If you have {{PetIcon|Finn}} you can subtract 1 {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} Level from the requirements. <br>
If you have {{PetIcon|Leonardo}} you can subtract 2 {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} Level from the requirements.


The overall time <math>T_{all}</math> is calculated by the sum of one hour plus the time required to produce the {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}} <math>T_c</math>, mine essence <math>T_m</math>, and create runes <math>T_r</math>. All measured in seconds. The number of spent {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient}} runes is noted as <math>N</math>.
According to the [https://github.com/hm0809/MelvorProbDist/blob/main/main.py simulation] - it takes, on average, 506 Elder Chest opens to obtain all items from the {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}}. It takes 657 opens to obtain all items from the {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} with a 75% probability and 1165 opens to obtain all items with a 95% probability.


The {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}} fishing time is 3.825 seconds and cooking time is 7 seconds.


The {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} with the combination runes is used.
==Basic Magic==


The approximate {{Icon|Adventure}} mode situation is taken for Runecrafting. In particular, {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Elemental Potion IV|Elemental Potion}} are not used. The Runecrafting 95% milestone of the mastery pool is active, and the runes have 99 mastery, meaning that 16 runes are produced per two seconds. No rune preservation or doubling.
This part of the guide will need either {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|73}} '''or''' {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|66}} and {{SkillReq|Agility|50}} to fully idle.  


The mining time is the one with the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} upgrade - 1.3 seconds. The number of needed essence considers all runes used in crafting: {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence|Essence}}, {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|Air}}, {{ItemIcon|Fire Rune|Fire}}, {{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Smoke}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient}} runes.
This build has around 17 clears per hour.


<math>T_m = N * (7 * (1 + 2/16 + 2/16) / 16 + 1 / 16) * 1.3 = N / 16 * (8.75 + 1) * 1.3 = N * 12.675 / 16</math>


For <math>T_r</math> compared to <math>T_m</math>, the only difference is that the number of mined essence is multiplied by 2 instead of 1.3.
===Gear===


<math>T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8</math>
* Spell: {{Icon|Earth Surge|type=spell}} with combination runes.
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Lore}}  & {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}

This part of the guide will need {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|76}} and {{SkillReq|Agility|70}} to fully idle. <br>
You can also upgrade the [[Adamant Equipment]] to [[Rune Equipment]] which will lower the requirements to {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|73}} and {{SkillReq|Agility|50}} to fully idle.


<math>A_{magic} = T_{all} / D_h = 17499 / 16 = 1094</math>

=Ancient Relics=


<math>T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 6777 + 0 + 0 = 10377</math>
On top of no [[Pets]], {{Skill|Astrology}} or [[Potions]] this guide will also assume no [[Relics]].


<math>D_h = 10.7</math>
Much like any other dungeon up to now, Manual Eating will be required.


<math>A_{claw} = T_{all} / D_h = 10377 / 10.7 = 970</math>
==Magic==
This will require {{SkillReq|Runecrafting|60}} so the level 70 cap increase must be reached.


<math></math>
This Dungeon will take roughly 5.5 minutes to complete with the provided setup.  <br>  
And will take roughly 140 {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} to complete.




For comparison, here's the magic build that takes less time to acquire than the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} and needs {{Icon|Hitpoints|qty=860|type=skill|HP}} to idle.

The clear speed of this build is 20 dungeons per hour with 1000 {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}} and 1170 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient}} runes.


<math>A_{MidMagic}</math>:


<math>T_c = 1000 * 10.825 = 10825</math>


<math>T_m = 1170 * 12.675 / 16 = 927</math>


<math>T_r = 1170 * 9.75 / 8 = 1426</math>
==Melee==


<math>T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 10825 + 927 + 1426 = 16778</math>
This Dungeon will take roughly 10 minutes to complete with the provided setup. 15 minutes if you use an {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}}. <br>  
And will take roughly 235-325 {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} to complete.


<math>D_h = 20</math>


<math>A_{MidMagic} = T_{all} / D_h = 16778 / 20 = 839</math>
{{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} can be used instead of {{ItemIcon|Rune Claw}}


As you see, the MidMagic build clears faster than the Claw build by 13% and has many options to be improved further.
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Ultimate Strength}} & {{PrayerIcon|Incredible Reflexes}}


Therefore, the magic build is suggested.
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Melee
|helm1 = (G) Adamant Helmet
|body1 = (G) Adamant Platebody
|legs1 = (G) Adamant Platelegs
|boots1 = (G) Adamant Boots
|gloves1 = Paladin Gloves
|cape1 = Obsidian Cape
|neck1 = Amulet of Calculated Promotion
|ring1 = Silver Diamond Ring
|weapon1 = Rune Claw
|shield1 = (G) Adamant Shield
}}


In addition, you can notice that the bulk of time is actually spent on preparing food, so it's heavily recommended to level your food-producing methods when possible. For instance,
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Food
! Fishing time (s)
! Cooking time (s)
! HP
! HP per second
|-
| {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}}
| 7.875
| 11
| 580
| 30.73
|-
| {{ItemIcon|Crab}}
| 3.825
| 7
| 150
| 13.86
|}


In other words, if you prepare Whales instead of Crabs, you would double your food-prep speed, which is a huge boost to the clear time.
