Gear

Due to the Combat Triangle, it is recommended to clear the

with

because the enemies here are mostly

Melee

, including the final boss   Terran. Being stunned when an enemy hits you causes you to take 30% additional damage. The idea here is to get out of the stun effect of   Terran faster than he can attack if you're under the effect of his slow (+33% attack interval inflicted by Grasping Roots). Weapons with a 2.9 second attack interval will get away in time, however weapons with a 3.0 second interval will not without the use of interval reduction bonuses; specifically, 3.0 second interval weapon need to be reduced to 2.9 seconds or faster. Therefore, it is only safe to use   Cloudburst Staff while using

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge I

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge II

at this point of progression. The safest spell to use while maintaining a decent adjusted clear time is likely the 20k-accuracy

Gust

, with a wand and a shield equipped. Worth noting that using   Cloudburst Staff, even with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge I

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Surge II

, will likely far outpace any other spell/weapon combo. However, be aware that this will cost a lot of runes, and running out of them will put you in danger of dying. Check combat sim to see how many runes you will spend per hour, and make plenty of extras to survive for as long as necessary. The following methods will reduce your interval sufficiently enough to avoid the need to spend   Air Runes on Surge Auroras, making this particular method effectively foolproof. You can use the

Fury II

Aurora instead for better adjusted clear times if you meet one or more of these requirements.

Any setup you use needs to be checked with the Combat Simulator to be sure of its efficacy for you.

It may be helpful to check if you can idle the dungeon with the Combat Simulator. Can I Idle may be misleading in the amount of DR you need. 'If' your attack interval is 2.9 or lower with a staff, or if you are using a wand, you can uncheck the Status Damage checkbox as you will not be taking stun damage from any of these enemies.

Use   Silver Diamond Ring,   Infernal Cape, and   Dragonfire Shield if you don't have enough DR.

  Ring of Wealth or   Aorpheat's Signet Ring can be used if you don't have the   Warlock Ring, but the adjusted drop time is worse with them.

  FEZ is good but not mandatory.

If you have unused   Water Chests, you might want to open them for the   Magic Wand (Elite).

Maximized Farming

The rest of this guide is NOT for your first clear, your average clear, or even your first 100 clears. This is purely to maximize scrolls for any missing items. This will assume 99 in all skills, access to nearly all weapons and items in the game, and access to all DR and HP pets. This assumes you are (unless otherwise noted) using an optimal Agility setup, are using your best dps prayers, your best summoning synergy, and are using   Diamond Luck Potions

This build uses

Water Surge

or

Water Wave

(slightly reduced rune cost),

Anguish III

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fury II

. To use this method, you need to have an attack interval of 2.9 or lower. This is achieved the easiest in the end game with

, or alternatively with

Surge I

or

Surge II

. This achieves around 26 to 27 scrolls per hour, depending slightly on your
