===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 {{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}}. Keep them only if you didn't already get your {{Skill|Ranged}} to level 85.

The simulations are run on a character with lvl 80 in all combat skills except {{Skill|Hitpoints}}.
All the simulations for this guide were done without any [[Pets]], {{Skill|Astrology}} or [[Potions]]. <br>
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.
 
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.

===Adjusted clear time===
The {{Icon|Ancient Relics}} game mode restricts the players maximum levels for combat skills to to 10 plus 5 times the number of dungeons completed. For this dungeon, the players combat skills will be capped at a maximum of '''50''', and the guide will assume all non-combat skills are of a similar level.
Adjusted clear time is the time it takes to prepare all needed food and runes plus the time of the clear itself.

{{SpoilerBox|text=
On top of no [[Pets]], {{Skill|Astrology}} or [[Potions]] this guide will also assume no [[Relics]].
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.


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>.
Much like any other dungeon up to now, Manual Eating will be required.


The {{ItemIcon|Crab}} total preparation time is 6.9 seconds per Crab.
== Magic ==
This Dungeon will take roughly 4 minutes to complete with the provided setup and will take roughly {{ItemIcon|Lobster|qty=140}} to complete.


The {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} with the combination runes is used.
* Spell: {{SpellIcon|Earth Wave}} or {{SpellIcon|Fire Blast}}
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Lore}} & {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}  


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 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.

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.
== Melee ==


<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>
This Dungeon will take roughly 10-15 minutes to complete with the provided setup and will take roughly 235-325 {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} to complete.


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.
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Ultimate Strength}} & {{PrayerIcon|Incredible Reflexes}}


<math>T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8</math>

The {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Powerful)|magic}} inputs are 1060 crabs, 1205 ancient runes, and 16 dungeons per hour.<br>
This guide assumes {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} has been unlocked.
The adjusted clear time is 609 seconds per clear.


== Magic ==


The {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|rapier}} inputs are 655 crabs and 9.8 dungeons per hour.<br>
This setup will require 710 {{Skill|Hitpoints|Health}} & 32% [[Damage Reduction]] and can expect roughly 16 clears per hour. <br>
The adjusted clear time is 462 seconds per clear.
This will require {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|71}} without {{Skill|Agility}} or {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|64}} with {{SkillReq|Agility|50}}.




The {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} inputs are 626 crabs and 10.7 dungeons per hour.<br>

The Advanced Magic build inputs are 1000 crabs, 1170 ancient runes, and 20 dungeons per hour.<br>

|title=Details|color=default}}


It is assumed that the Advanced Magic build would equal the Ancient Claw build if resource preservation were to be accounted for.
== Melee ==


Therefore, both Advanced Magic and Ancient Claw builds are recommended depending on what you want to train.
This setup will require 800 {{Skill|Hitpoints|Health}} & 32% [[Damage Reduction]] and can expect roughly 5 clears per hour. <br>
This will require {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}} without {{Skill|Agility}} or {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|73}} with {{SkillReq|Agility|50}}.


====Food expenditure====
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Incredible Reflexes}} & {{PrayerIcon|Ultimate Strength}}
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:
{{Equipment/Recommended
{| class="wikitable"
|helm1 = (G) Rune Helmet
|-
|body1 = (G) Rune Platebody
! Food
|legs1 = (G) Rune Platelegs
! Fishing time (s)
|boots1 = (G) Rune Boots
! Cooking time (s)
|gloves1 = Paladin Gloves
! HP
|neck1 = Elite Amulet of Defence
! HP per second
|ring1 = Silver Diamond Ring
|-
|weapon1 = Rune Scimitar
| {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}}
|shield1 = (G) Rune Shield
| 1.97
}}
| 9.35
{{AgilityCourseTable
| 580
|Cargo Net
| 51.2
|Rope Jump
|-
|Pipe Climb
| {{ItemIcon|Crab}}
|Coal Stones
| 0.96
|Cliff Balance
| 5.95
|Rocky Waters
| 150
|showtotals = false
| 21.7
|showcosts = false
|}
|showrequirements = false
}}


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.

Why Clear Dragons Den?

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

you can subtract 2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level from the requirements. According to the simulation - it takes, on average, 506 Elder Chest opens to obtain all items from the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing

. It takes 657 opens to obtain all items from the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragons Den
with a 75% probability and 1165 opens to obtain all items with a 95% probability.
