''' | {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Defence}} from upgrading {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Defence|Amulets of Defence}}, which are dropped by {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster|Purple Goo Monsters}}, and {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}}, dropped by {{MonsterIcon|Mummy|Mummies}}, are our best friends for now; the limiting factor for the remaining dungeons is how much DR you have access to. | ||
Now that you've got full {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Platebody|Rune (G)}} and {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}} for 33% DR, 86 hitpoints will allow you to idle Volcanic Cave for your first useful cape, the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}. At this point, you can expect to eat around 3000 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}} per kill without prayer. | |||
You're probably noticing that {{ItemIcon|potatoes}} just won't cut it for food anymore, so switching to {{MonsterIcon|Sweaty Monster|Sweaty Monsters}} for {{ItemIcon|Salmon}} and {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} will reduce your overall time spent farming food. Expect to get food equivalent to 10.2 hp/kill in {{ItemIcon|Salmon}}, 6.25 hp/kill in {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}, and 2.3 hp/kill in {{ItemIcon|Shark}}. Swapping food sources often means that saving all 3 types of fish might not be worth it for some players. | |||
Hopefully you find the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} comfortable, as the goal is to get the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Helmet}}, and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}}. There are no Ancient Boots and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Boots}} are unobtainable on HCCO (as is the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet}},) so you'll continue rocking your {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} for quite awhile. Getting the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platebody}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platelegs}} is only useful if you plan to upgrade them to (G), as you still need the extra DR that comes from the (G) upgrade. Once you get your full {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody|Ancient Armor}}, make another visit to {{MonsterIcon|Statue|Statues}} to finish off gathering {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}} and {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}} and upgrade everything to (G). Luckily the {{ItemIcon|Elite Chest|Elite Chests}} you've been opening also drop plenty of {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}}. In total, you'll need 6000 {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}} and 10,000 {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}} for full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient Armor}}. If you get all the {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}} you need, move to {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster|Purple Goo Monsters}} for faster {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}}. You can also hold onto the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fury|Amulets of Fury}} for the {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} grind later; you'll need 10 {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fury|furies}} in total. | |||
After getting the {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Shield}}, there's nothing stopping you from immediately upgrading it again to the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, so head to the {{MonsterIcon|Green Dragon|Green Dragons}} to get 7050 {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones}}. You can alternatively wait until getting some range levels, as {{MonsterIcon|Green Dragon|Green Dragons}} are slightly weaker to mage and range than to melee, but at this level, you shouldn't have any trouble, and the 8% DR of the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}} will be very useful as a mage and range offhand for God dungeons. | |||
Another grind that can be done around this time is the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Sand Beast|Sand Beasts}}, which will be your best-in-slot melee dps ring. (Note that as of [[Changelog#Alpha_v0.21_-_.2813th_August_2021.29|v0.21]], the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} can no longer be used to cheese early range and mage training; the special attack is now melee only.) | |||
Once you have full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient Armor}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|DFS}} for 44% DR (or 41% with {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting|looting}} and {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}}, it's time to grind any remaining melee skills to ideally at least 90/99/90 while working your way towards 70 slayer for your next food upgrade - {{ItemIcon|Trout}} from {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite|Raging Horned Elites}} or RHE; you can also take advantage of the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Mummy|Mummies}} to speed up stat grinding. Once you get to this point, you can expect 447.8 hp in food for every kill! Once you start killing {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite|RHE}}, hold onto the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} they drop as they're your best {{Skill|Ranged}} arrows, even if they can't be equipped until level 70. Additionally, the {{ItemIcon|Large Horn|Large Horns}} that they drop will likely replace {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}} for GP farming, as the GP/hr is about the same (not to mention the food, arrows, and prayer points you're getting), and it only takes 1 extra bank slot. | |||
