Basic Guide

This is a Barrier dungeon introduced with the Atlas of Discovery Expansion, there is a general guide to this dungeon and a more in-depth look into Barrier combat in general in this guide. This page will go deeper into combat options, including when Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned and already completed.

This guide is not meant for optimal kills per hour but instead focuses on easily obtainable ways ranging from just passed God Dungeons to having beaten

Throne of the Herald

to clear the dungeon effectively.

Barrier combat adds a new "health" bar known as a Barrier to the monsters. This barrier can only be damaged by familiars (and 2 Barrier gems which do 10-15 damage per hit you do to the barrier, which are generally not worth using apart from a very niche case). Atlas of Discovery added items which increase the barrier damage done by familiars by a flat amount/percentage increases.
Once the barrier is taken down/depleted (the light-blue bar above the health bar) you can damage the health of the monster and kill it.
Barrier combat is generally slower than normal combat due to the fact familiars have a 3.0 second attack interval. This can be reduced by 10% from 3 items ( Summoner's Defender, Knight's Summoning Defender, Summoner's Blessed Ring) and 1 consumable ( Summoner's Blessing which can be purchased in the shop for 100GP and 10 Museum Token each), 1 is consumed per familiar attack.


Requirements:

  • Find Ancient Stone Tablet
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 35
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Level 24

For this dungeon, we still do not require any specific (B) armour. Use familiars to take down the barrier. 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.

(B) Armour does boost the damage done to Barrier monsters, the time spent upgrading sub-optimal items to (B) is generally not worth the time and effort required to farm the materials. It is also not required to get decent kill speeds on the first few dungeons. If you're going for 100% Completion it is recommended you farm out the optimal gear before you start collecting items and returned for any missed items at a later stage.

It is recommended you run this dungeon until you have obtained 11 Draining Barrier Gem to upgrade your gloves into Barrier Draining Gloves and have 1 spare to use in your Equipment setup. The Township Task associated with this dungeon will also provide 3 gems.

All other items/loot received from this dungeon can be ignored. It is strongly recommended you 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.

Ancient Relics Guide

The major gimmick with Barrier content is using

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

familiars. Given the nature of Ancient Relics and the random unlocking of skills, it can be quite challenging to do these Barrier Dungeons.
The Barrier Guides will assume a "reasonable" level of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

but will also provide the lowest

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

familiars that will achieve the job.

Contrary to what the guides for Standard Mode will suggest, the Ancient Relics guide is aimed at first clears for the dungeons.

It is advised to do the major Barrier grinding either around

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

if you want Eradicating Gloves (m) while also going for Engulfing Vortex Longbow, otherwise it's advised to wait until you have the Necromancer set from

Necromancers Palace

.


There is some information that can be useful in the Standard Sections of the Guides, however any suggestions of Gear or Items you should obtain from the Dungeons can be ignored unless stated otherwise in the Ancient Relics sections of the Guides.

On top of no Pets,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Astrology

or Potions this guide will also assume no Relics.

This Dungeon can be done completely Idle. Manual Eating will not be needed.

Melee

The provided setup will take roughly 30 minutes to clear the dungeon.
And will use roughly 290 Lobster.

Gear

Using a lower Synergy than

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Occultist

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Minotaur

is highly discouraged, the clear times will increase to between 3 and 12 hours if using Lower Level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

Familiars.
Going higher is also not recommended unless

is used, which is only marginally better. Prayers:

Ranged

The provided setup will take roughly 18.5 minutes to clear the dungeon.
And will use roughly 150 Lobster.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

is technically the best style for this Dungeon, it however requires you to farm

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Spider Forest

early for the Blue D-Hide Equipment.

Using Green D-Hide Equipment lowers the Clear Speed to roughly 20 minutes and increases the Lobster use to roughly 190 per clear.

Gear

The provided

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

Synergy is by far the best option until very high levels.

Going lower is also highly recommended against as clears will take well over an hour.

Magic

This setup will work with 1 Skill Cap increase in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

but can be done without any Armour at all.
If you've gotten more

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

Skill Cap increases feel free to use better Wizard Equipment, be sure to match the Spell to the Element of the Wizard Equipment.

The provided setup will take roughly 17.5 minutes to clear the dungeon.
And will use roughly 220 Lobster.

Gear

You can go as low as

Golbin Thief

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Occultist

for clearing this Dungeon, it will take roughly 30 minutes to clear then.
If your

Skill Caps are higher, the highest possible

Familiars are advised, the higher they are, the faster this Dungeon will be cleared.
