But before you visit the {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}} you'll want to take a detour to fight the {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} to fill out your neck and ring slots. Your next step, therefore, is {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight|Mithril Knights}}. Because they only drop gear a quarter of the time when killed (on average), it can take quite a while to get a full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|mithril set}}. You will probably get {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots|boots}} (25 in 268) and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet|helmets}} (15 in 268) quite often, and the eventual {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs|platelegs}} (5 in 268). The {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody}} has quite a low drop-chance (1 in 568). This is quite the trend on these knights. Before getting the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody}} you will probably get both a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|scimitar}} (1 in 67) and a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Shield|shield}} (5/134), too, so equip these once dropped, for a decent upgrade. You may equip the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Sword|sword}}, too, but I’d stick with the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|Scimitar}} for now, to efficiently level up your {{Skill|Strength}} skill before practically perma-equipping the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} for a long while. The last thing to consider before moving on to the {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}} is to potentially getting an {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Calculated Promotion}} from {{MonsterIcon|Leech}} while your name is set to "witwix", however this is only a 1% chance, so you might instead want to put it off until later. | But before you visit the {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight}} you'll want to take a detour to fight the {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} to fill out your neck and ring slots.

As mentioned, you will want to get the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} after getting full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|Mithril armor}}, or even before getting the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody}}, as it is a really good upgrade at this point. It is practically a cold {{ItemIcon|Rune Sword}}, in stats, except it is slightly better defensively than offensively. The drop rate is 10% at the {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Icy Hills}}.

The drop rate is 10% at the {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Icy Hills}}. Huge. Because of variance, you might get it on your first kill or your 20th, but don’t be discouraged. Also, the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} is better at grinding {{Skill|Strength}} than all weapons from a lower tier, meaning that the next best strength weapon after. | ||
Now, before you go away from the computer, or to sleep, it’s time to upgrade your dagger. At the {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster}} you can get a cheap {{ItemIcon|Adamant Dagger}}. Going from 429 to 444 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}/hour? Good business. | Now, before you go away from the computer, or to sleep, it’s time to upgrade your dagger.

The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting|Looting Amulet}} is a special amulet which automatically loots gear acquired from Combat Areas and Slayer Areas. You may get it from the {{ItemIcon|Spider Chest}}, with a 1/22 chance. Due to the nature of HCCO, you will spend a lot of potatoes in the early game (and beyond, too), so you might want to rush this item in order to ease the grind for food as soon as possible. | The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting|Looting Amulet}} is a special amulet which automatically loots gear acquired from Combat Areas and Slayer Areas.

Before you start running the dungeon, you should have a buffer of at least a thousand potatoes, just because RNG might be on your bad side. | ||
It is quite possible to beat the zone without having any form of Auto Eat, and just make sure you time your manual eating right, since the damage of the spiders in the area is not too high. | It is quite possible to beat the zone without having any form of Auto Eat, and just make sure you time your manual eating right, since the damage of the spiders in the area is not too high. | ||
