Why clear Dragons Den?
Dragons Den is usually cleared for the
Ancient Crossbow,
(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces, and
(U) Ancient D-hide Shield because they are wanted for the
Air and
Water God Dungeons.
Other parts of the Ancient set are of little importance because you will use the
Aeris God Armour for the
Water God Dungeon. Keep them only if you didn't already get your
Ranged to level 85.
Gear to idle
Because all enemies in Dragons Den are
Melee, it is advised to use a
Magic or
Melee build due to the Combat Triangle.
This guide assumes that you have 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.
The simulations are run on a character with lvl 80 in all combat skills except Hitpoints.
Due to the wide range of cases, it is recommended to use the Combat Simulator to compare the options tailored for your situation.
The ring slot in the given builds is free. It is suggested to use Ring of Wealth if you have it or
Aorpheat's Signet Ring otherwise.
Basic Magic
Below is a basic build that needs Level 90 to create,
Level 78 to wear, and 830
HP to idle.
The spell of choice is Fire Surge with combination runes.

Adjusted clear time
Adjusted clear time is the time it takes to prepare all needed food and runes plus the time of the clear itself.

Adjusted clear time [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is calculated by dividing the overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] by the number of dungeons [math]\displaystyle{ D_h }[/math] cleared per one hour.
The overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] is calculated by the sum of one hour plus the time required to produce the The The The approximate The mining time is the one with the [math]\displaystyle{ 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]\displaystyle{ T_r }[/math] compared to [math]\displaystyle{ T_m }[/math], the only difference is that the number of mined essence is multiplied by 2 instead of 1.3. [math]\displaystyle{ T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8 }[/math] You can check out the intermediate steps with the following Google Sheet (link). The
The Advanced Magic build inputs are 1000 crabs, 1170 ancient runes, and 20 dungeons per hour. |
It is assumed that the Advanced Magic build would equal the Ancient Claw build if resource preservation were to be accounted for.
Therefore, both Advanced Magic and Ancient Claw builds are recommended depending on what you want to train.
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 ( Fishing Skillcape,
Cooking Skillcape, 99 mastery, top fishing rod,
Amulet of Fishing), the fishing and cooking times are the following:
Food | Fishing time (s) | Cooking time (s) | HP | HP per second |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
1.97 | 9.35 | 580 | 51.24 |
![]() |
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.
