This section is still a work in progress, but will be updated with details as the meta develops.

Gear Progression

The name of the game is to obtain DR from any possible sources. Damage and evasion are secondary to DR. Without access to

,

or

Runecrafting

, our sources of DR are quite limited, but they exist. Note that all of the items in this section requires

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

to be completed.

  1. The first item is the   Frost Walker Boots from   Large Ice Troll in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Forsaken Tundra
    , which requires
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    105
    . These monsters are relatively weak and won't cause too much trouble, but the boots they give offer a whopping 12% DR. These count as legendary slayer tasks and so it is worth rerolling legendary tasks to help make a dent in the 20 tasks needed to purchase   Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary).
  2. With the DR offered from   Frost Walker Boots, the next easily obtainable item is   Perfect Sight Legs from   Conda in

    Jungle Labyrinth
    , requiring only
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    100
    . This monster is easily handled with

    Melee
    if your
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Hitpoints
    is high enough, allowing us to save on valuable runes. The legs give 12% DR. These count as a master slayer task, so feel free to reroll them to earn some slayer coins. Feel free to take on any   Alraune tasks you roll, as the DR from   Perfect Sight Legs is not needed for that monster. In addition, any of the other monsters in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Jungle Labyrinth
    will also need to be killed at some point for their respective clue pieces, so killing them when you roll their slayer task is slightly more macro-efficient.
  3. Another very easily obtained item is   Bundled Protection Body from   Alraune in
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Jungle Labyrinth
    . While this item is easier to obtain than   Perfect Sight Legs, it is less useful as the body slot contests with master and legendary slayer gear. This item will be useful for dungeons, however, as it also gives 12% DR.
  4. The next item is   Spectral Ice Sword from   Spectral Ice Wolf. This monster is quite difficult and requires a lot of DR. It is recommended to have   Frost Walker Boots and   Perfect Sight Legs first before attempting this monster, although a   Guardian Amulet can be used instead of the legs. These are a legendary task and should be completed on task at all times.
  5. After all of the above items have been obtained, the next goal is to continue working on   Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary). We need to complete 20 tasks and they take a long time. The upgrade offers 10% DR and 25% area negation (+4%/+5% respectively over master) per piece and will be a necessary source of DR and negation moving forward. Continue to farm   Large Ice Trolls,   Spectral Ice Wolves and possibly   Polar Bears. The latter has an unavoidable, 2 turn freeze attack which reduces your DPS considerably, so it may be worth simply skipping them.

There are unique drops offered by enemies in

, but as the area effect is particularly strong these enemies will waste a lot of food if we tackle them now. Best to wait until we have access to greater slayer area negation. In addition and perhaps more importantly, all of these items are solely for collection log purposes. The   Ward of Flame Platebody and   Burning Protection Platelegs require   (P) Divine Platebody and   (P) Divine Platebody respectively, which are unobtainable on a CO.
