Unhallowed Wasteland

After completing the T90 weapon grinds, you are ready to face

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Unhallowed Wasteland

(UW) - the hardest pre-99

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Slayer

area.
To access it, you need to purchase a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland

.

The area requires maximizing a different stat than DR. All of the monsters here will heal a % of their current HP every 2 attacks, which will massively hinder your DPS regardless of the setup. To mitigate this, you need a cumulative 100% Flat Slayer Area Effect Negation.

Here's an example of the gear required for melee:

Item	Slot	Slayer Area Effect Negation %
Slayer Helmet (Master)	Head	20%
Slayer Platebody (Master)	Body	20%
Slayer Cowl (Master)	Passive	20%
Max Skillcape/ Slayer Skillcape	Cape	25%
Hunter's Ring	Ring	10%
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Agility Pillar of Combat	Agility	5%
Total		100%

For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor. Note that you cannot ever wear two of the same item, so whichever item you choose to put in the passive slot must be one of the armor pieces not currently equipped in your chest/head slots.

It should be noted that while UW is listed first,

completing the
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

will strictly make this grind faster! You can complete ID without any of the UW gear sets, and the shields greatly speed up these grinds.

While you are here, you will be working to acquire all of the set bonus gear, dropped from each of the UW monsters:

Poison Virulence Gloves/ Poison Virulence Ring - Upgrades from Worm Spike/ Poison Essence respectively, dropped by Legaran Wurm
Burning Madness Gloves/ Burning Madness Ring - Upgrades from Cursed Hands/ Burning Essence respectively, dropped by Cursed Lich
Spiked Shell Gloves/ Spiked Shell Ring - Upgrades from Tough Shell/ Stinging Essence respectively, dropped by Spiked Red Claw
Relentless Fury Gloves/ Relentless Fury Ring - Upgrades from Desecrated Bones/ Undead Essence respectively, dropped by Greater Skeletal Dragon

Agility

#	Obstacle	Reason
1	X
2	X
3	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Climb	No particular reason beyond being the only obstacle that grants any combat benefits.
4	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coal Stones	No negative modifiers, technically saves some food.
5	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cliff Balance	+20 hp. This does make your prayers cost more, but as you're buying your prayer points anyways, the cost increase isn't quite as painful.
6	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lake Swim	+3% damage, +1% DR. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rocky Waters may help as a first line of defense for surviving if you're mildly undergeared, but will not be considered the default.
7	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Boulder Trap	No negative combat modifiers.
8	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Spike Jump	+5% Chance to Double Items. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pipe Crawl will be slightly faster, but the negative to slayer coins hurts, especially for Magic sets using the Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cyclops synergy.
9	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ice Jump	This obstacle does everything you want it to.
10	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lava Waterfall Dodge	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ocean Rafting is technically the best dps option. Lava Waterfall Dodge is recommended slightly above it, as you preserve some of your ammo and runes, earn more coins, and have an easier time swapping to skilling to restock.
P	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pillar of Combat	Lots of beneficial combat bonuses

Prayer

For Melee, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Battleheart

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Piety

or the highest level combat style prayers you have available. For Ranged, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Battleheart

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Rigour

or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.

For Magic, use see the specific monster for suggestions

Potions

For all combat styles, use Diamond Luck Potions

For Ranged, with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Shockwave

, it is sometimes possible that Ranged Strength Potion IV is stronger than Diamond Luck Potions. This should never be done without checking Combat Sim for yourself, and should never be done unless the potion is specifically Ranged Strength Potion IV, and not any lower mastery.

Summoning

For Melee, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dragon

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Minotaur

For Ranged, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dragon

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Centaur

For Magic, use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Dragon

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Witch

Notably for Magic, using

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Cyclops

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Witch

tablets will earn you significantly more coins at a fairly minimal loss of kills per hour.

Below are some gear suggestions. As the final pre-100 combat area, it is assumed that you have access to all buffs. However, depending on your specific setup, your optimal gear may change.

Legaran Wurm

Slot	Better to Worse
Head	Slayer Helmet (Master)
Body	Slayer Platebody (Master)
Leggings	Ragnar God Platelegs	Terran God Platelegs
Boots	Ragnar God Boots	Terran God Boots
Hands	Ragnar God Gloves	Terran God Gloves
Cape	Maximum Skillcape	Slayer Skillcape
Passive	Slayer Cowl (Master)
Neck	Fighter Amulet	Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
Ring	Hunter's Ring
Weapon	Tidal Edge	Infernal Claw
Offhand	Shield of Melee Power	Dragonfire Shield

Using the Dragonfire Shield instead of the Shield of Melee Power does not impact any of your gearing choices, but will be slower.

Legaran Wurms are the main enemy where your

Astrology

bonuses change what equipment you wear. With absolutely no combat bonuses from astrology, Tidal Edge and Fighter Amulet are your best bet. With enough stardust spent, FEZ overtakes Fighter for kills per hour, however, Fighter Amulet will always consume less food for only a minor hit to DPS. With even more stardust spent, Infernal Claw once again takes the cake, the lemons, and all the loot.

For consumables, Melee has few stipulations, just equip whatever kills the enemy the fastest

Body	Slayer Leather Body (Master)
Leggings	Aeris God Platelegs

Passive	Slayer Wizard Hat (Master)
Neck	Deadeye Amulet	Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
Ring	Hunter's Ring
Weapon	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Shockwave
Offhand	Shield of Ranged Power	Scaled Shield

Using the Scaled Shield instead of the Shield of Ranged Power does not impact any of your gearing choices, but will be slower.

For consumables, we don't use

because Cursed Liches are immune to Burn.

Leggings	Glacia God Platelegs

Cape	Maximum Skillcape	Slayer Skillcape
Passive	Slayer Helmet (Master)
Neck	Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
Ring	Hunter's Ring
Weapon	Cloudburst Staff	Ocean Song
Offhand	Shield of Magic Power	Earth Layered Shield

The Cloudburst Staff is approximately 10% faster at killing Spiked Red Claws, however, it requires the use of Damage Reduction Potion IV, and will consume significantly more food, runes, and potions

is a more expensive alternative if you don't have one of the DR pets Using the Earth Layered Shield instead of the Shield of Magic Power allows you to use

Using the Earth Layered Shield instead of the Shield of Magic Power does not impact any of your gearing choices, but will be slower.

Greater Dragons are the most dangerous enemy currently in the game as Affliction buildup can result in an unfortunate death. This can be mitigated best, like most untimely deaths, by killing the enemy before they kill you.

The most important element to beating Greater Skeletal Dragons is

Protect from Melee

as it massively reduces your chance of death, while increasing your DPS due to you spending less time stunned.
