(G) Adamant Armour, 
(G) Rune Boots, 
Desert Wrappings, 
Rune 2H Sword, At the end, you should have: Full
(G) Adamant Armour or Full 
(G) Rune Armour, 
Paladin Gloves, 
Elite Amulet of Strength, 
Sunset Rapier / 
Ancient Sword, The first thing you should do in this part of the story is to upgrade your 
Amulet of Strength into an Elite one, simply by farming more 
Mummies. On average you need to kill around a thousand of them.
You will next want to get the Paladin Gloves from 
Paladin once you have enough DR from upgrading to (G) Adamant armour. These gloves give DR, melee strength and no negative bonuses so they can be used for all styles if necessary. At this point in your progression, you will use around 6 
Lobster per Paladin kill, and the chance to get them is 1/171. Not too hard.
The next step is completely optional and it is overall recommended to skip over, but it's an option for those wanting to take the slower route. (G) Adamant armour gives enough DR to safely idle
with about 920 HP. This means you can skip (G) Rune armour entirely and save bars to put towards 
(G) Ancient armour instead, as this armour set is more important for progression and requires a tonne of bars. You won't need bars after (G) Ancient armour either. The ~92HP threshold is very manageable as well, as while preparing for
you will obtain enough
levels anyway, as you will need about 50k-100k 
Trout to fully complete the dungeon. Make sure to double check with Can I Idle (it is still perfectly accurate for everything before
) for your specific combination of
and DR.
If you choose to farm the feared shiny 
Rune Knights and upgrade your four armor pieces into (G) Rune pieces, you will enjoy a nice total of 24% Damage Reduction with the Paladin Gloves. You will need a bunch of 
Gold and 
Silver Bars which are best farmed at 
Statue or at 
Purple Goo Monster to make headway towards 
Elite Amulet of Defence.
You should get
and a second
, funded largely from selling 
Large Horn from 
Raging Horned Elite. You should also consider getting the third set now, too.
The last thing to get before moving onto the next section is a better weapon.
is your next stop for a Sunset Rapier, a great upgrade that will be the primary weapon up until 
Darksteel Dagger from 
Rancora Spider. Don't bother getting any 
Dragon Claw Fragments from 
Griffin yet as it will be awhile before you can obtain the necessary 
Infernal Cores to make it worthwhile. If you're lucky enough to get an Ancient Sword before the Sunset Rapier, then feel free to use it, as it will drastically reduce your food consumption and the associated food farming time. You'll probably only want to use it outside of dungeons, because the high burst damage from stronger enemies heavily reduces effectiveness of the lifesteal and makes the bonus damage impossible to reliably utilise. It is very good for all things
, 
FeZ and Raging Horned Elite farming, but the extra time spent farming
can be spent gathering Trout instead. Both approaches are about equal in overall efficiency, assuming average luck.
