contains only

monsters. Therefore, clearing it with pre-Volcanic

setups is unfeasible due to the Combat Triangle penalties. In this guide, it is assumed that you have

Auto Eat - Tier III

.

The guide is written with the goal of idling the dungeon. If you want to do it manually, the requirements are much more relaxed, although the more DR you have, the easier it is to do anyway.

Gear to idle

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Volcanic Cave

is usually done with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Melee

because the dragon armor set requires only

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

to produce. It then can be trimmed to provide 30% DR. The other theoretically feasible option is

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

, but it has only 22% DR with expert gear and Miolite Shield. With other slots, the magic loadout has 31% DR and needs

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 97

to idle the dungeon. You will need to grind a lot to reach level 97 HP, so Magic is not recommended until you get the Glacia armor, which will come much later. Below is the melee loadout that requires

Level 80

to idle the dungeon on any game mode:

Item Slot DR%
(G) Dragon Helmet Head 6%
(G) Dragon Platebody Body 6%
(G) Dragon Platelegs Leggings 6%
(G) Dragon Boots Boots 6%
Paladin Gloves Hands 4%
Subtotal 28%
Knight's Cape Cape 1%
Elite Amulet of Defence Neck 2%
Silver Diamond Ring Ring 1%
Any

Melee
Weapon 0%
(G) Dragon Shield Off-hand 6%
Total 38%

Gear options

If you want to idle the dungeon and have more HP or DR than is needed, you can swap some of the gear.

Gloves

You have the following choice:

Item DR% Requirements
Paladin Gloves 4% none
(U) Red D-hide Vambraces 4%
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 60
(U) Black D-hide Vambraces 5%
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 70
(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces 6%
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 80

Even though you might want the best option for you, think if you really want to farm

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Dragons Den

for it, which can be both time- and food-expensive perspective. The Red and Black Vambraces can be either crafted with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

or dropped from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Spider Forest

. Or you might just farm some Paladins.

TODO

For the Capes:

  • You will need either the Knight's Cape (1% DR) from thieving the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Knight
    or
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Squire
    , or the Skull Cape if you absolutely need the extra DR ((3% DR) Not recommended for Melee or Ranged, it reduces your attack bonuses by a significant amount). If you do not need the extra 1% DR provided by the Knight's Cape, you may use any Skillcape (if you have one), or the Obsidian Cape dropped by Adamant Knights.
  • Note: Once you clear Volcano once, swap your cape to the Fire Cape! It provides 2% DR and has better stats than the noncombat skillcapes.

TODO For your weapon, you'd want to use a Ancient Claw, but in the lack of something better you could reasonably use a Sunset Rapier instead, since it takes a bit less time to get your hands on.

By using a Skull Cape from the Slayer shop, and a Silver Diamond Ring on top of this gear you can reduce the HP requirement even more.

Note that many of these items can be swapped out for better items, and there's some variance between what the player will have access to, and what levels they have.
