Now that you've got full {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Platebody|Rune (G) Armour|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves|nolink=true}} for 32% DR, {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 880 Hitpoints will allow you to idle {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} for your first useful cape, the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}. At this point, you can expect to eat around {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 30,000 HP worth of food per kill without {{Skill|Prayer}}.
If you've only got {{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Platebody|(G) Adamant Armour|nolink=true}}, you will need about 920 Hitpoints. If you've got full {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Platebody|Rune (G) Armour|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves|nolink=true}} for 32% DR, {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 880 Hitpoints instead will allow you to idle {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}. Always make sure to use Can I Idle to verify your specific gear setup before committing to any idle adventure. Regardless of which option you choose, the reward for the dungeon is a very useful cape, the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}, which boasts a very nice 2% DR. If you are just slightly below the threshold needed to idle the dungeon, you can opt to clear it once manually and then use the DR from the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} to idle afterwards. The only dangerous part is the final boss {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor}}, who has a very slow and predictable attack pattern and can easily be manual eaten to avoid lethal damage.  


At this point, you should be using {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply|Standard Resupplies}} for your food needs. If you prefer to fight monsters instead, then {{MonsterIcon|Sweaty Monster|Sweaty Monsters}} for {{ItemIcon|Salmon}} and {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} will reduce your overall time spent farming food. Expect to get food equivalent to 10.2 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Salmon}}, 6.25 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}, and 2.3 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Shark}}.
At this point, your main sources of food are {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} (higher food/hr, more GP/hr but no prayer or bolts) or {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply|Standard Resupplies}} (if you need prayer or bolts).


Once you have the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape|nolink=true}}, you can farm the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Sand Beast|Sand Beasts}}, which will be your best-in-slot {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} DPS ring. You can even use {{PrayerIcon|Safeguard}} if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|nolink=true}} clears.

There are no Ancient Boots and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Boots}} are unobtainable on HCCO (as is the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet}},) so you'll continue rocking your {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} for quite a while. Getting the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platebody}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platelegs}} is only useful if you plan to upgrade them to (G), as you still need the extra DR that comes from the (G) upgrade.

You should expect to use about {{ItemIcon|Trout|qty=1.5k-4k}} per hour, depending on how many {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient pieces}} you have obtained for additional DR and dps.


Once you get your full {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody|Ancient Armour|nolink=true}}, make another visit to {{MonsterIcon|Statue|Statues|nolink=true}} to finish off gathering {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars|nolink=true}} and upgrade everything to (G).

Elite Amulet of Defence from upgrading Amulets of Defence, which are dropped by Purple Goo Monsters, and Silver Diamond Ring, dropped by Mummies, are our best friends for now; the limiting factor for the remaining dungeons is how much DR you have access to.

If you've only got (G) Adamant Armour, you will need about 920 Hitpoints. If you've got full Rune (G) Armour and Paladin Gloves for 32% DR,

880 Hitpoints instead will allow you to idle

. Always make sure to use Can I Idle to verify your specific gear setup before committing to any idle adventure. Regardless of which option you choose, the reward for the dungeon is a very useful cape, the Fire Cape, which boasts a very nice 2% DR. If you are just slightly below the threshold needed to idle the dungeon, you can opt to clear it once manually and then use the DR from the Fire Cape to idle afterwards. The only dangerous part is the final boss Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor, who has a very slow and predictable attack pattern and can easily be manual eaten to avoid lethal damage.

At this point, your main sources of food are Raging Horned Elite (higher food/hr, more GP/hr but no prayer or bolts) or Standard Resupplies (if you need prayer or bolts).

Once you have the Fire Cape, you can farm the Sandstorm Ring from Sand Beasts, which will be your best-in-slot

DPS ring for awhile. You can even use

Safeguard

if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your

clears. Hopefully you find the

comfortable, as the goal is to get the Ancient Platebody, Ancient Platelegs, Ancient Helmet, and Ancient Shield. There are no Ancient Boots and Dragon Boots are unobtainable on CO (as is the Dragon Helmet), so you'll continue rocking your (G) Rune Boots for quite a while. Do not worry about getting the Dragon Platebody and/or Dragon Platelegs as you will want to save your bars for (G) Ancient armour. You should also start using

Prayer

obtained from Standard Resupplies to help speed up the dungeon and save food. You should expect to use about 1.5k-4k Trout per hour, depending on how many (G) Ancient pieces you have obtained for additional DR and dps.

Once you get your full Ancient Armour, make another visit to Statues to finish off gathering Gold Bars and Silver Bars and upgrade everything to (G). Luckily the Elite Chests you've been opening also drop plenty of Silver Bars and Gold Bars.

In total, you'll need 6,000 Silver Bars and 10,000 Gold Bars for full (G) Ancient Armour. If you get all the Silver Bars you need, move to Purple Goo Monsters for faster Gold Bars. You can also hold onto the Amulets of Fury for the Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs grind later; you'll need 10 Fury Amulets in total.

After getting the (G) Ancient Shield, there's nothing stopping you from immediately upgrading it again to the Dragonfire Shield, so head to the Green Dragons to get 7,050 Dragon Bones. You can alternatively wait until getting some
