The following guide takes the player through the combat of the [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] with as little effort as possible. This guide is targeted at people who have either completed or nearly completed the base game. Completion of at least the [[Air God Dungeon]] is recommended to follow the largest portion of this guide.

===Barrier Combat===
==How Atlas of Discovery affects Base Game Combat==
 
==={{Icon|Barrier|notext=true}} Barrier Combat===
 
The primary mechanic added to the game in {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} is {{Icon|Barrier}}, a powerful shield that is entirely immune to player attacks while active. In order to break barriers, the player must utilize {{Skill|Summoning}} Familiars that deal damage such as the {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief}} or {{ItemIcon|Unicorn}}. Clear speed will be almost entirely determined by how fast you can break the {{Icon|Barrier}} so make sure to prioritize summon max hit in your builds.
 
Higher hit chance weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for [[Damage Reduction]] or the alternative simply does more damage. This is because the [[familiar]]'s hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance, the higher the hit chance, the better.
 
''Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.''
 
==={{Icon|Combat|notext=true}} Other Combat Changes===
 
===={{SlotIcon|gem}} Gem Slot====
 
A new {{SlotIcon|gem}} gem equipment slot has been added which allows you to squeeze out higher summon max hit damage with gems like {{ItemIcon|Devouring Barrier Gem}} or give various non {{Icon|Barrier}} modifiers such as the {{ItemIcon|Agile Gem}} which reduces player attack interval.
 
===={{Skill|Cartography|notext=true}} Points of Interest====
 
Another mechanic added is {{Skill|Cartography|notext=true}} [[Cartography#All_Points_of_Interest|Points of Interest]]. Once mastered in {{Skill|Cartography}}, they can be travelled to to give the player both positive and negative modifiers.


The primary mechanic added to the game in {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} is {{Icon|Barrier}}, a powerful shield that is entirely immune to player attacks while active. In order to break barriers, the player must utilize {{Skill|Summoning}} Familiars that deal damage such as the {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief}} or {{ItemIcon|Unicorn}}.
Reccomended points of interest to use for combat are:


Since the combat portion is heavily focused on using familiars the following is strongly recommended:
* {{POIIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} for respawn timer reduction
* {{SkillReq|Summoning|90}}
* {{POIIcon|Dark Waters}} for melee
* {{Synergy|Tortoise|Dragon}}
* {{POIIcon|Bandit Hideout}} for ranged
* {{POIIcon|The Academia Arcanum}} for magic


Two-handed weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for [[Damage Reduction]] or the alternative simply does more damage. Two-handed weapons generally have a higher hit chance and because the [[familiar]]'s hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance, the higher the hit chance, the better.
''These can also be simulated in the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to avoid the expensive travel costs.''


Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the [[Scripting_and_Extensions/Combat_Simulator|Combat Simulator]] to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.
===={{Icon|Unholy Prayers|notext=true|nolink=true}} Unholy Prayers====


==Throne of the Herald Expansion==
Unfortunately {{Icon|Unholy Prayers}} were nerfed so don't worry about those.
{{RequiresTotH}}
<div class="warningbox">Skip this section if you plan to progress {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} content before {{TotH|Throne of the Herald}}.</div>


Having progressed through most of {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion|notext=true|img=TotH|}} Throne of the Herald's combat will make  {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} combat significantly easier. This is due to the huge damage increase in the {{Synergy|Spectre|Spider}} compared to {{Synergy|Tortoise|Dragon}}, the summon set from {{ZoneIcon|Necromancers Palace}} and the endgame weapons from {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}}.
==Stats and Buffs==


==={{Skill|Summoning|notext=true|nolink=true}} Familiars===
Having progressed through {{TotH}} combat will make  {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} combat significantly easier. This is due to the huge damage increase in the {{Synergy|Spectre|Spider}} compared to {{Synergy|Tortoise|Dragon}}, the summon set from {{ZoneIcon|Necromancers Palace}} and the endgame weapons from {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}}.


The highest damage familiar synergy for {{TotH|Throne of the Herald}} and {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}} is:
==={{Skill|Summoning|notext=true|nolink=true}} Summoning===
* {{SkillReq|Summoning|115}}
 
* {{Synergy|Spectre|Spider}}
There are two main summoning synergies to use for {{Icon|Barrier}} focused combat:
* {{TotH}} {{SkillReq|Summoning|115}} {{Synergy|Spectre|Spider}} for huge summoning max hit damage
* {{SkillReq|Summoning|90}} {{Synergy|Tortoise|Dragon}} if you haven't unlocked the above synergy


==={{Icon|Combat|notext=true|nolink=true}} Gear===
==={{Icon|Combat|notext=true|nolink=true}} Gear===


Ensure you have the following from {{ZoneIcon|Necromancers Palace}}, this will be BIS save for a few items near the end of {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}}:
===={{Melvor}} Base Game====
 
Collect the first three god sets from: {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}, {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}} and {{ZoneIcon|Earth God Dungeon}}. Collecting the fire god set from {{ZoneIcon|Fire God Dungeon}} will also be helpful but not strictly required. It is only for endgame clear speed improvement when you have enough damage reduction already.
 
===={{TotH}} Throne of the Herald====
 
Ensure you have the following armour from {{ZoneIcon|Necromancers Palace}}. This will be BIS save for a few items near the end of {{AoD|Atlas of Discovery}}:
* {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon}}
* {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon}}
* {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Curse Totem Summon}}
* {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Curse Totem Summon}}
Line 65: Line 93:
Acquiring the {{ItemIcon|Superior Max Skillcape}} will also be helpful.
Acquiring the {{ItemIcon|Superior Max Skillcape}} will also be helpful.


==={{Icon|Prayer|notext=true|nolink=true}} Prayers===
==={{Skill|Herblore|notext=true|nolink=true}} Herblore===


{{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} is goated. For your second prayer you will be using {{PrayerIcon|Valor}}/{{PrayerIcon|Avidity}}/{{PrayerIcon|Divination}} for clear speed or {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} for damage reduction.
* {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV}} is BIS if you haven't built {{TotH}} {{AgilityIcon|Waterfall Crossing}} yet
* {{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
* {{TotH}} {{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
* {{TotH}} {{ItemIcon|Critical Strike Potion IV}} are about equal to Penetration Potions in most situations, but require a material that is easier to obtain without doing difficult combat


==={{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV|notext=true|nolink=true}} Potions===
==={{Icon|Prayer|notext=true|nolink=true}} Prayers===


Use {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}} if you need damage reduction and {{ItemIcon|Penetration Potion IV}} if you don't (assuming {{AgilityIcon|Waterfall Crossing}} is built).
* {{TotH}} {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} is goated so pretty much always use this
* {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}
* {{TotH}} {{PrayerIcon|Valor}}/{{PrayerIcon|Avidity}}/{{PrayerIcon|Divination}}
* {{PrayerIcon|Piety}}/{{PrayerIcon|Rigour}}/{{PrayerIcon|Augury}}
* {{TotH}} {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}}
* {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}}

'''Recommended'''
After collecting the first three god sets from: {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}, {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}} and {{ZoneIcon|Earth God Dungeon}} the player will be well equipped to start combat. Immediate goals are to begin gathering {{Icon|Barrier}} damaging equipment. The first gear the player will get is actually from the {{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} in {{Skill|Archaeology}}. Remember {{Skill|Cartography}} and {{Skill|Archaeology}} are crucial to progressing {{AoD}} [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion|Atlas Of Discovery]] combat.
* {{ItemIcon|Old Summoning Amulet}}
* {{ItemIcon|Ring of Summoning}} or {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}
* {{ItemIcon|Necromancer Hat|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Necromancer Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Necromancer Bottoms|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Necromancer Boots|notext=true}} Necromancer outfit
Unlock the [[Ancient Market]] digsite and upgrade the map to perfect. It's heavily encouraged to also refine the map and get the +1 artifact bonus. Although it is possible to reduce the Tiny Artefact weight by 10, this generally isn't required as not that many [[Barrier Gem|barrier gems]] are needed for the entire combat portion.


From the Ancient Market, collect a whole bunch of barrier gems. These are needed to make Tortoise familiars. These are a must have for all the combat in this expansion. Depending on how many tablets you can make at once, and the preservation chance, more barrier gems should be obtained. 1,000 - 5,000 gems is a good number to aim for, depending on the previous factors.
====Major Goals====
# Excavate {{ItemIcon|Old Summoning Amulet}} and {{ItemIcon|Ring of Summoning}} from {{POIIcon|Ritual Site}}
# Farm {{ItemIcon|Barrier Gem}} from {{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} to create {{ItemIcon|Tortoise}} (you only need one for {{SlotIcon|gem}} gem slot if you have a lot of {{Synergy|Spectre|Spider}} already)
# {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}} from {{MonsterIcon|Blind Ghost}}
# Craft {{ItemIcon|Ring of Barrier Touch}}
# {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}} and {{ItemIcon|Barrier Sapping Gloves}} from {{MonsterIcon|Vampiric Bat}}
# Excavate {{ItemIcon|Ancient Silk}} from {{POIIcon|Bazaar}} to craft {{ItemIcon|Ancient Infernal Cape}}
# Optionally; Max all skills for the {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}}
# Excavate {{ItemIcon|Ancient Stone Tablet}} from {{POIIcon|Monuments}}
# Farm 11 {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem}} from {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}} to upgrade your gloves to {{ItemIcon|Barrier Draining Gloves}} and to equip one in your {{SlotIcon|gem}} gem slot


Make Tortoise tablets and an equal amount of Dragon tablets. If possible use the Necromancer outfit, Old Summoning Amulet and the Signet Ring for more tablet output. Equip both the Tortoise and Dragon tablets. These will be used throughout the expansion!
===Mid Game Atlas of Discovery===


=={{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave|notext=true}}{{ZoneIcon|Mucky Cave|notext=true}} Entry barrier equipment==
After completing the early game the next goal is to unlock the {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} dungeon as fast as possible and farm it to upgrade your god gear to {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody (B)|notext=true}} (B). The difficulty starts ramping up here. If you are struggling to defeat these dungeons check the individual strategy guides on each dungeons page.
'''Requirements''':
* Discover {{POIIcon|The Eye-Conic Cave}}
* Any combat equipment.


'''Recommended'''
====Major Goals====
* {{ItemIcon|Old Summoning Amulet}}
# Find {{ItemIcon|Old Route Chart}}
 
# Complete {{ZoneIcon|Unholy Forest}} once
This portion of the guide aims at getting the very entry barrier equipment items, outside of the familiars of course. Gear doesn't matter much at this point, so prefer melee because it doesn't use resources. Use the melee weapon that provides the highest hit-chance.
# Find {{ItemIcon|Torn Scrolls}}
 
# Complete {{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple}} once
# Get the {{ItemIcon|Barrier Touch Gem}} and {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}} from {{MonsterIcon|Blind Ghost}}.
# Find {{ItemIcon|Lost Cursed Text}}
## Optionally kill 100 of these for the [[Township/Tasks#Atlas_of_Discovery| Township task]].
# {{ItemIcon|Adaptive Summoning Amulet}} from {{MonsterIcon|Cult Imp}}
# Make a {{ItemIcon|Ring of Barrier Touch}} and equip it.
# Farm {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} until you have enough {{ItemIcon|Barrier Exalted Shard}} and {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} to upgrade your {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Platebody (B)|notext=true}} air god and then {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody (B)|notext=true}} earth god armour to (B). The helmet for both should be skipped if you have the {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon|notext=true}} summon set from {{TotH}}. {{ItemIcon|Barrier Dust}} can be farmed from either {{MonsterIcon|Cult Imp}} or {{MonsterIcon|Cult Member}}
# Get a {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}} and {{ItemIcon|Barrier Sapping Gloves}} from {{MonsterIcon|Vampiric Bat}}.
# Equip {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}} from {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} unless you are using the {{ItemIcon|Ring of Phantom Summon|notext=true}} summon set from {{TotH}}
## Optionally kill 100 {{MonsterIcon|Slime Shooter}} for the[[Township/Tasks#Atlas_of_Discovery| Township task]].
 
=={{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory|notext=true}} Golem Territory==
'''Requirements''':
*All items obtained in the previous section.
*Find {{ItemIcon|Ancient Stone Tablet}}
**{{SkillReq|Cartography|35}}
**{{SkillReq|Archaeology|24}}
 
'''Recommended'''
*{{ItemIcon|Summoning Skillcape}} or {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}}
*{{ItemIcon|Pure Crystal 2H Axe}}
 
For this dungeon, we still do not require any specific (B) armour. Use the familiars made earlier and let them do most of the work. Make sure whatever equipment you are wearing doesn't result in death, and whatever weapon you are using should once again provide the highest hit-chance that you can find. Melee again works fine for this dungeon, as it doesn't consume runes or ammunition.
 
Optionally, a Summoning or Maximum Skillcape can be worn to save some familiar tablets, but is by no means required.
 
Run this dungeon until you have obtained 10 {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem|}} to upgrade your gloves into {{ItemIcon|Barrier Draining Gloves}}. The Township Task associated with this dungeon will also provide 3 gems.
 
All other items/loot received from this dungeon can be ignored. Do '''not''' use the familiar weapons. Unless the player is using very inaccurate and/or low level weapons, these will result in significantly lower clears per hour.
 
=={{Icon|Dungeons}} Dungeon Rush==
The goal of this section is to unlock the [[Cult Grounds]] dungeon as fast as possible. The following two dungeons have to be completed once in order to unlock Cult Grounds. Starting from [[Trickery Temple]] the combat difficulty starts ramping up quite a bit!
 
==={{ZoneIcon|Unholy Forest|notext=true}} Unholy Forest===
'''Requirements'''
*All items obtained in the previous section.
*Complete {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}}
*Find {{ItemIcon|Old Route Chart}}
**{{SkillReq|Archaeology|65}}
**{{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}
 
This dungeon can be completed with ease, by using the same equipment as the previous dungeon. For instance, Ancient Armour will be more than enough to clear this dungeon. Just make sure you have enough damage reduction (combined with hitpoints) to survive the dungeon once. Melee is recommended to benefit from the combat triangle.
 
==={{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple|notext=true}} Trickery Temple ===
'''Requirements'''
*All items obtained in the previous section.
*Complete {{ZoneIcon|Unholy Forest}}
*Find {{ItemIcon|Torn Scrolls}}
**{{SkillReq|Archaeology|90}}
**{{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}
 
The monsters in the trickery temple deal a lot more damage than previous dungeons. On top of that, the enemies there have a reflect mechanic (where part of the damage the player deals is inflicted back upon the player), and a mechanic where the enemies' max hit is based on the player's max hit. All enemies in this dungeon are also magic-based. It is therefore highly recommended to use the ranged combat style, preferably with [[Ranged#Javelins|javelins]] or [[Ranged#Throwing_Knives|throwing knifes]] to lower the player's max hit, but at the expense of clear time.
 
Although the Trickery Temple also drops {{ItemIcon|Barrier Exalted Shard}} and {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}}, due to the reflect and max hit mechanic, the Cult Grounds dungeon is preferred, as the player can focus much more on dealing damage, rather than having to deal with the max hit mechanic.
 
Even with throwing knifes the reflect and enemy max hit still become very high. Always make sure to use the combat simulator beforehand to ensure you are not going to die! Alternatively, you can also do one clear by manual eating.

=={{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Platebody (B)|notext=true}} Upgrading to (B)==
This section is about clearing and effectively farming the {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} dungeon and monsters for {{ItemIcon|Barrier Dust}}. The player can progressively upgrade their Aeris God armour pieces to increase the kills per hour with every item upgraded.
 
'''Requirements'''
*All of the requirements mentioned above.
* Complete {{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple}}
*Find {{ItemIcon|Lost Cursed Text}}
**{{SkillReq|Archaeology|82}}
**{{SkillReq|Cartography|80}}
 
Continue using your Aeris God armour setup for this dungeon. These monsters do not have the mechanic where they base their max hit off of the player's max hit, a crossbow with bolts can be used. As soon as enough {{ItemIcon|Barrier Exalted Shard}} and {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} have been obtained to upgrade the first item, it is advised to go collect barrier dust. All of the individual armour pieces have the same passive effect, so the order in which they are upgraded doesn't matter. Start with the armour piece that costs the fewest Barrier Shards and Siphoning Gems.

|}
 
Once enough upgrade materials have been obtained, depending on the gear the player has, kill either {{MonsterIcon|Cult Imp}} or {{MonsterIcon|Cult Member}}. The benefit from killing Cult Members for barrier dust, is that only the Aeris set needs to be upgraded for maximum effect. However, the Cult Imp can potentially drop more barrier dust in a given hour. Especially if the player is using {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}}. Terran God armour is also required in the next sections of the guide.
 
Collect enough barrier dust to obtain 2,000 {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}}. Upgrade your armour piece and move back to the Cult Grounds dungeon until enough materials have been obtained for the next upgrade. Repeat this cycle until the full Aeris armour has been obtained. Finally, also upgrade a pair of {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces}} as they are slightly better than the previously used Barrier Draining Gloves.
 
Recommended starting gear is similar to that of the previous dungeon. Be sure to double check the amulets and rings that offer damage and familiar damage bonus after every (B) Aeris upgrade, as what results in more kph can change!
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Ranged
|helm1 = Aeris God Helmet
|body1 = Aeris God Platebody
|legs1 = Aeris God Platelegs
|gloves1 = Barrier Draining Gloves
|boots1 = Aeris God Boots
|neck1 = Lesser Summoning Amulet
|neck2 = Old Summoning Amulet
|neck3 = Deadeye Amulet
|ring1 = Summoner's Blessed Ring
|ring2 = Deadeye Ring
|ring3 = Ring of Barrier Touch
|cape1 = Maximum Skillcape
|cape2 = Ranged Skillcape
|cape3 = Cape of Ranged Preservation
|weapon1 = Shockwave
|weapon2 = Pure Crystal Crossbow
|weapon3 = Ancient Crossbow
|ammo1 = Jadestone Bolts
|ammo2 = Emerald Bolts
|shield1 = Shield of Ranged Power
|shield2 = Scaled Shield
|consumable1 = Ranged Hinder Scroll
|passive1 = Old Summoning Amulet
}}
 
The following gear is starter gear to farm cult imps for barrier. If you do not have Big ol Ron, simulate how many barrier dust you are receiving with your alternative, and potentially use ranged on cult members instead. It is recommended to upgrade the melee armour used, with a preference for upgrading Terran. This is because the extra [[Damage Reduction]] is required for the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}}. The equipment below will result in roughly 2,400 barrier dust an hour. More or less can be obtained depending on the actual gear and other bonusses used. The amount of barrier dust an hour rises to around 3,100 with Terran fully upgraded to (B). '''Depending on your choice in the next section, you do not need to fully upgrade Terran'''.
 
Again, Terran gear is recommended over Ragnar with the assumption that this will be (partially) upgraded into (B).
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Melee
|helm1 = Terran God Helmet
|body1 = Terran God Platebody
|legs1 = Terran God Platelegs
|gloves1 = Barrier Draining Gloves
|boots1 = Terran God Boots
|neck1 = Lesser Summoning Amulet
|ring1 = Summoner's Blessed Ring
|ring2 = Ring of Barrier Touch
|cape1 = Maximum Skillcape
|cape2 = Ancient Infernal Cape
|cape3 = Infernal Cape
|weapon1 = Big ol Ron
|consumable1 = Melee Hinder Scroll
|passive1 = Old Summoning Amulet
}}
 
It is advised that the player stays at Cult Grounds until the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}} is obtained. This is also a good time to go back to {{MonsterIcon|Magic Mirror}} with the gear recommended [[#Trickery Temple|here]] since the {{ItemIcon|Trickery Mirror}} is required for the next section. With fully upgraded Aeris (B) and the other barrier damage items, it shouldn't be a problem at all taking these down much faster than before.
 
Lastly, if the player has finished {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} at least once, and thus has obtained the [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]], it's a good idea to go for another item. The {{ItemIcon|Barrier Burn Shield}} from the [[#Trickery Temple|Trickery Temple]] can be used in the passive slot for a lot of extra barrier damage, which will be useful because enemies from now on  have a lot more barrier health.
 
=={{POIIcon|Melantis|notext=true}} Melantis?==
This section is about unlocking the final combat zone and dungeon from Atlas of Discovery.
 
'''Requirements'''
*All of the requirements mentioned above.
*Complete {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}}
*{{SkillReq|Cartography|90}}
*{{SkillReq|Archaeology|90}}
*{{ItemIcon|Water Expert Wizard Hat|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Expert Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Expert Wizard Bottoms|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Expert Wizard Boots|Water Expert Wizard Robes}}
*{{ItemIcon|Ancient Infernal Cape}}
*{{ItemIcon|Trickery Mirror}}.
 
Melantis is a [[Cartography#Points_of_Interest|Point of Interest]] that first needs to be discovered to unlock the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} and {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} dungeon and combat area.
 
The player first needs to find {{ItemIcon|Melantis Clue 1}} from the {{POIIcon|Monuments}} dig site and follow a trail of clues. Alternatively, you can look for the solution [[Melantis Clue 1| here]].
 
=={{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins|notext=true}} Underwater Ruins ==
'''Requirements'''
*Have followed this guide up until this point, or have obtained all relevant items mentioned in this guide.
*Discover {{POIIcon|Melantis}}
 
'''Recommended'''
*Full (B) god armour for the chosen combat style.
*{{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} for magic (if {{ItemIcon|Water Pulse Staff}} isn't obtained prior.)
* {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} for melee.
*{{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
*{{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}}
*{{ItemIcon|Barrier Burn Shield}} if the [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]] is unlocked.
*{{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}}
 
The {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} contains 4 enemies of which 3 drop weapons that are potentially an upgrade. The monsters also all drop plenty of {{ItemIcon|Barrier Dust}}, which allows for easy upgrading of the remaining god armours that haven't been upgraded yet.
 
The player has a choice of killing the following monsters:
*{{MonsterIcon|Mermaid Archer}} for the {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}
*{{MonsterIcon|Merman}} for the {{ItemIcon|Water Pulse Staff}}
* {{MonsterIcon|Merman Guard}} for the {{ItemIcon|Hasty Trident}}
 
These monsters and their drops can be obtained in order, since they are all one part of the combat triangle. For example, the Mermaid Archer can be killed for the longbow, which can then be used on the Merman for the staff which then can be used to obtain the trident from the Merman Guard.
 
It is '''strongly recommended''' to start this section with the Ultima Godsword and killing Mermaid Archers. This is because the Ultima Godsword is a very strong weapon, and the Engulfing Vortex Longbow resulting from this is also a '''very''' strong weapon.
 
==={{MonsterIcon|Mermaid Archer|notext=true}} Mermaid Archer===
The following gear is recommended for the Mermaid Archer, since she has a very high max hit. Getting the Ultima Godsword is highly recommended to start killing Mermaid Archers. Alternatively, Merman Guards can be killed first to obtain the Hasty Trident.
 
''The gear below assumes an optimal situation for the gear that is available at this point. When diverting from this gear, be sure you have  auto-eat threshold and damage reduction to idle this enemy!''

=== {{MonsterIcon|Merman|notext=true}} Merman ===
The best weapon, by far, for killing Mermans is the Engulfing Vortex Longbow. Therefor it is suggested to get this bow from Mermaid Archers before killing Mermans. Mermans have a significantly lower maximum hit. As a result, the player needs a much lower auto-eat threshold and damage reduction. It is suggested to use a {{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV}} or {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV}}, whichever results in more kills per hour.

=== {{MonsterIcon|Merman Guard|notext=true}} Merman Guard===
Merman Guards can be killed with the {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} or the {{ItemIcon|Water Pulse Staff}} effectively. However, because the Water Pulse Staff provides 8% extra damage reduction over the Cloudburst Staff, a player would need more hitpoints and more damage reduction to idle this enemy effectively.
 
Additionally, since the Water Pulse Staff cannot miss, a {{ItemIcon|Magic Damage Potion IV}} can result in more kills per hour over the Cloudburst Staff.

'''Recommended'''
* {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}} for the {{ItemIcon|Relic Shield}}
*{{PrayerIcon|Piety}}
* {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}
*Agility obstacles that provide damage reduction
 
The enemies, and especially the {{MonsterIcon|Nagaia}} hit '''very''' hard in this dungeon. A lot of damage reduction is required in order to idle this dungeon without dying. Alternatively, the player can return after having progressed through the {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion|notext=true|img=TotH|}} [[Throne of the Herald]] expansion. Having more hitpoints or other damage reducing and damage inflicting bonusses can greatly speed up the clear times of this dungeon.
 
The Relic Shield is preferred over the {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}}, because it offers 4% more damage reduction at {{SkillReq|Defence|90}} and above. Alternatively the {{ItemIcon|Devouring Barrier Shield}} can be used, once the upgrade item has been obtained from this dungeon. However, the player should check if the 4% reduction in DR doesn't result in death. The {{ItemIcon|Eradicating Gloves (m)}} should be equipped immediately when obtained from this dungeon.


Clearing the Underwater City dungeon provides 1 {{ItemIcon|Barrier God Shard}} every time it is cleared. These can be used to upgrade (B) god armours into their respective (C) armours. These can then be used to very effectively clear {{ZoneIcon|Crystal Depths}} for {{ItemIcon|Crystal Binding Dust}} if the player hasn't already done this.
===Late Game Atlas of Discovery===


''The gear below assumes an optimal situation for the gear that is available at this point. When diverting from this gear, be sure you have auto-eat threshold and damage reduction to idle this enemy!''
The main goal of late game is to find {{POIIcon|Melantis}}, collect the three weapons from {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}}, finishing {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} and then acquiring endgame clear speed items for the subsequent {{PetIcon|Lumi|notext=true}} pet farms.

This article is about the AoD.png guide to combat. For frequently asked questions (FAQ), see Atlas of Discovery FAQ.

Introduction

The following guide takes the player through the combat of the AoD.png Atlas of Discovery Expansion with as little effort as possible. This guide is targeted at people who have either completed or nearly completed the base game. Completion of at least the Air God Dungeon is recommended to follow the largest portion of this guide.

A lot of the combat for AoD.png Atlas Of Discovery is locked behind both the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology

skills so progress those if you have locked combat areas/dungeons.

This Guide is NOT designed with the Ancient Relics Game Mode in mind. Players looking for more information about that Game Mode should visit the Ancient Relics Guide. There is also the Barrier Guide which can be used as an alternative to this guide.

A simplistic order for completing AoD.png Combat:

  1. Acquire god gear sets from:
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Air God Dungeon    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Water God Dungeon     and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Earth God Dungeon
  2. Find Torn Chart
  3. Excavate Ancient Market to get some starting gear
  4. Blind Ghost
  5. Vampiric Bat
  6. Find Ancient Stone Tablet
  7. Golem Territory
  8. Find Old Route Chart
  9. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Unholy Forest
  10. Find Torn Scrolls
  11. Trickery Temple
  12. Find Lost Cursed Text
  13. Cult Grounds
  14. Upgrade god gear to (B)
  15. Discover Melantis
  16. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mermaid Archer
  17. Underwater City

How Atlas of Discovery affects Base Game Combat

Barrier Combat

The primary mechanic added to the game in AoD.png is Barrier, a powerful shield that is entirely immune to player attacks while active. In order to break barriers, the player must utilize

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

Familiars that deal damage such as the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Golbin Thief

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Unicorn

. Clear speed will be almost entirely determined by how fast you can break the Barrier so make sure to prioritize summon max hit in your builds.

Higher hit chance weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for Damage Reduction or the alternative simply does more damage. This is because the familiar's hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance, the higher the hit chance, the better.

Because the combat mechanics in this expansion are rather complex, and minor changes in enemy, equipment and player stats can make specific items better or worse it is always recommended to use the Combat Simulator to verify how to get the most kills per hour or drops per hour.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Other Combat Changes

Gem Slot

A new gem equipment slot has been added which allows you to squeeze out higher summon max hit damage with gems like Devouring Barrier Gem or give various non Barrier modifiers such as the Agile Gem which reduces player attack interval.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Points of Interest

Another mechanic added is

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Points of Interest. Once mastered in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Cartography

, they can be travelled to to give the player both positive and negative modifiers.

Reccomended points of interest to use for combat are:

These can also be simulated in the Combat Simulator to avoid the expensive travel costs.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Unholy Prayers

Unfortunately

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Unholy Prayers

were nerfed so don't worry about those.

Stats and Buffs

Having progressed through TotH.svg combat will make AoD.png combat significantly easier. This is due to the huge damage increase in the Spectre SynergyIcon.png Spider compared to

Tortoise SynergyIcon.png
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragon

, the summon set from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Necromancers Palace

and the endgame weapons from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Golden Cloud Mountains

.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
 Summoning

There are two main summoning synergies to use for Barrier focused combat:

  • TotH.svg
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 115     Spectre SynergyIcon.png Spider for huge summoning max hit damage
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
     Level 90     Tortoise SynergyIcon.png
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Dragon     if you haven't unlocked the above synergy

 Gear

Melvor Logo.svg Base Game

Collect the first three god sets from:

Air God Dungeon

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Water God Dungeon

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Earth God Dungeon

. Collecting the fire god set from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fire God Dungeon

will also be helpful but not strictly required. It is only for endgame clear speed improvement when you have enough damage reduction already.

TotH.svg Throne of the Herald

Ensure you have the following armour from

. This will be BIS save for a few items near the end of AoD.png:

Collect the three weapons from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Golden Cloud Mountains

as these are the BIS for most AoD.png encounters:

Acquiring the Superior Max Skillcape will also be helpful.

  • Diamond Luck Potion IV is BIS if you haven't built TotH.svg
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Waterfall Crossing     yet
  • Max Hit potions can be a solid and reliable source of increased damage
  • Damage Reduction Potion IV is incredibly useful for meeting DR requirements
  • TotH.svg 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 Ectoplasm is easily farmed
  • TotH.svg Critical Strike Potion IV are about equal to Penetration Potions in most situations, but require a material that is easier to obtain without doing difficult combat

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archaeology

. Remember

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cult Imp     or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cult Member
  8. Equip Summoner's Blessed Ring from Cult Grounds unless you are using the summon set from TotH.svg
