Your next objective is the God Dungeons. The four god dungeons, whilst somewhat intimidating, are all handled the exact same way once you complete Air God. Each is beaten with the gear from the previous tier.
Your next objective is the {{ZoneIcon|Infernal Stronghold}} (Beat at least once for the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}}), then God Dungeons. The four god dungeons, whilst somewhat intimidating, are all handled the exact same way once you complete Air God. Each is beaten with the gear from the previous tier.


* Air God (Ancient Melee gear from Volcanic Cave)
* {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} - {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|Ancient}} Melee gear from {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}
* Water God (Aeris God gear from Air God)
* {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}} - {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|Aeris}} God gear from {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}
* Earth God (Glacia God gear from Water God)
* {{ZoneIcon|Earth God Dungeon}} - {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Helmet|Glacia}} God gear from {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}}
* Fire God (Aeris God gear from Air God (Recommended) | Glacia God gear is possible and is faster, but requires significantly more DR)
* {{ZoneIcon|Fire God Dungeon}} - {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|Aeris}} God gear from {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} (Recommended) | Glacia God gear is possible and is faster, but requires significantly more DR)

* Elder Crown (Drops from Elder Vampire)
* {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} - Drops from {{Icon|Elder Vampire|type=monster}}
* Elite Magic Wand (Drops from Cursed Maiden, used for Imbued Wands)
* {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Elite)}} - Drops from {{Icon|Cursed Maiden|type=monster}}, used for {{ItemIcon|Air Imbued Wand|notext=true}} Imbued Wands
* Bounty Hunter (Greatly accelerates the Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs grind)
* {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} - {{Icon|Bounty Hunter|type=monster}} greatly accelerates this grind
* Elite Slayer Gear (Purchased in shop)
* {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Elite)|notext=true}} Elite Slayer Gear - Purchased in shop


None of the above are needed, but definitely worth obtaining here. You should also be nearing max combat as you progress through the dungeons.

To unlock the ancient spells, you will need to run each of the God Dungeons 100 times. Each dungeon also provides extremely useful drops, some of which are BiS.

At this point you can probably begin to make your way towards one of the longest grinds in the game, Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs. FEZ, as it is often called, is made from the upgrading process by combining 2 of every Elite amulet, 10 Amulets of Fury, and 10 Amulets of Torture.

* 2 {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Glory}}
* 10 {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fury}}
* 10 {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Torture}}


This item is by no means necessary, but it is very useful as a "catch all" type of amulet. No matter what situation you're in, FEZ is probably a good choice. See the following link for best practices while farming for the amulet.

You should have upgraded your melee weapon. Dragon Claw is probably the minimum, though Sunset Rapier will also do. We would highly recommend grinding Pegasus for Ancient Claw fragments, as Infernal Claw is extremely good through ITM. Slicing Winds/Gust are highly effective.
