Introduction

Ancient Claw is a melee weapon that does not require late-basegame content to obtain. It is also a component for Infernal Claw.

The Ancient Claw is assembled from the fragments that drop only from Pegasus. On average, 3,333 Pegasi kills are required in order to obtain enough fragments.

The question is when to farm it and what combat style is the best for that. The main point of contention is whether to farm it before or after the

Volcanic Cave

, as this dungeon is farmed with a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

build and is vital for idling the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Air God Dungeon

.

To answer these questions, the following builds will be considered:

These builds were chosen to show the changes that the various drops bring into farming Pegasus.

Ranged

builds were not considered because the Pegasus is

Melee

and has the highest evasion against Ranged in addition to the Combat Triangle.

Builds

Each build assumes the following:

  • The ring slot is always occupied with Magical Ring.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Auto Eat - Tier III
    is used.
  • Whale (Perfect) is used as the Food of choice because it is considered a middle ground between starting out and being fully levelled in

    Firemaking
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Fishing
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Farming
    , and
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cooking
    .
  • The character is on the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Hardcore
    game mode with all Combat skills at level 60. This means all builds presented here are suitable regardless of the game mode being played.

Skill levels are given so that these simulations may be replicated using the Combat Simulator add-in.


Fire Wave Magic

Combat stats around level 60.

Spell:

Fire Wave


Prayers:

Mystic Lore

and

Mystic Might


Point of Interest: The Academia Arcanum

The average time to obtain all 100 Ancient Claw Fragments with this build is approximately 30 hours. However, note that without Slayer gear this increases to 33 hours.

Sunset Rapier Melee

Combat stats around level 70.

Prayers:

Chivalry

and

Incredible Reflexes


Point of Interest: Dark Waters

The grind time with this build is approximately 24 hours. Without Slayer gear, this time increases to 26 hours.

Combat stats around level 75.

Spell:

Prayers:

Mystic Might

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mystic Mastery


Point of Interest: The Academia Arcanum

Reaching at least 20,000 accuracy is key for this build, as this prevents

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slicing Winds

from missing. Therefore, while the build only requires a minimum of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 72

, and at most

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 93

or multiple accuracy bonuses from sources such as:

Worth noting that using a Mystic Air Staff will drastically reduce the amount of runes spent - especially while using Surge Auroras. The staff will be slower, and will require more Food due to the player taking a greater number of hits.

Warning: Swapping Miolite Shield for Book of Eli will not significantly reduce kill times, while also forcing you to spend more runes and therefore more time Runecrafting.

The grind time with this build is approximately 11 hours. Slayer equipment has no impact on the clear speed in this case.

Glacia Magic

Combat stats around level 85.

Spell:

Aurora:

and

Summons:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragon

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Witch

Increase the kills per hour by about 1, shortening your grind by 20 minutes if you have

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragon

unlocked.

The grind time with this build is approximately 5.5 hours.

However, this build implies that the

would need to be cleared with Sunset Rapier.
