After you have the gear from the {{MonsterIcon|Zombie Hand|nolink=true}}, you should then move on to the regular {{MonsterIcon|Zombie}} for the {{ItemIcon|Steel Platebody}} (1 in 5 chance). It also drops {{ItemIcon|Steel Boots}} (1 in 5 chance), but you shouldn’t grind for them here since it's easier to get them from the {{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight}} next. ({{Skill|Attack|20|nolink=true}} / {{Skill|Strength|20|nolink=true}} / {{Skill|Defence|20|nolink=true}} stats recommended)

You’ll end the first part of your HCCO journey with {{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight|Steel Knights}}. They drop the {{ItemIcon|Steel Helmet}} (15 in 67 chance), {{ItemIcon|Steel Shield}} (10 in 67 chance), {{ItemIcon|Steel Sword}} (10 in 67 chance), and {{ItemIcon|Steel Scimitar}} (4 in 67 chance). You should be using the {{ItemIcon|Steel Sword|nolink=true}} on {{Skill|Attack|nolink=true}} and {{Skill|Defence|nolink=true}} and the {{ItemIcon|Steel Scimitar|Scimitar|nolink=true}} on {{Skill|Strength|nolink=true}} when killing most monsters, but again, daggers should be used on {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants|nolink=true}} due to their fast attack rate. The {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} is a useful item to get around here, but if you decide not to get it, you can avoid ever getting tasks in the {{ZoneIcon|Strange Cave}}.

The {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} is a useful item to get around here, but if you decide not to get it, you can avoid ever getting tasks in the {{ZoneIcon|Strange Cave}}. It acts as a decent early Shield, before you get the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Shield|nolink=true}}. However, it's optional.

While your next target is {{MonsterIcon|Adamant Knight|Adamant Knights}}, you should know that leveling {{Skill|Attack|nolink=true}} and {{Skill|Defence|nolink=true}} up to 50 will effectively reduce your healing per Knight from 1700 to 1200. Additionally, if you decided not to get the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Calculated Promotion}} previously, you should definitely get it now, since you'll have extremely low accuracy on the next two Knights.

Your {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword|nolink=true}} is great for leveling {{Skill|Attack|nolink=true}}, and your {{ItemIcon|Adamant Dagger|dagger|nolink=true}} is fine for leveling {{Skill|Defence|nolink=true}}. You may do this at {{MonsterIcon|Statue}}, to prepare for gear upgrades, and thus your first [[Damage Reduction]] points!

Each {{ItemIcon|Adamant Platebody|Adamant|nolink=true}} piece has a 1/48 chance of dropping, which, mind you, is much better than the drop chances of {{MonsterIcon|Rune Knight}}. Good luck on that! While you don’t really care about the {{ItemIcon|Adamant Boots}} nor the {{ItemIcon|Obsidian Cape}}, you may as well equip them once you get them. It will be a while until you replace the {{ItemIcon|Obsidian Cape|Cape|nolink=true}} for anything else, but there’s no point wasting {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver}}/{{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}} on the {{ItemIcon|Adamant Boots|Boots|nolink=true}}. You will get {{ItemIcon|Rune Boots}} quickly anyway.

It is highly recommended to build up {{Icon|Slayer Coins|qty=250000}} as {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} is a great purchase to idly build up {{Icon|Slayer Coins|nolink=true}}. With them, you can purchase {{ItemIcon|Basic Resupply}}, which nets you both a useful {{ItemIcon|Lobster|qty=100}} and {{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|qty=200}} per purchase.
It is highly recommended to build up {{Icon|Slayer Coins|qty=150000}} as {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} is a great purchase to idly build up {{Icon|Slayer Coins|nolink=true}}. With them, you can purchase {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply}}, which nets you both a useful {{ItemIcon|Crab|qty=150}} and {{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|qty=500}} per purchase. This tends to be the most efficient HP per {{Icon|Slayer Coins|Slayer Coin|nolink=true}}, and is worth saving up for. These can be used throughout the rest of the game for easy food.


As per usual, free rerolls may be used to acquire {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}} as your {{Skill|Slayer|nolink=true}} task.

Now, grind up enough {{Icon|Slayer Coins}} for the {{ItemIcon|Desert Hat}}, and at least {{SkillReq|Slayer|50}}, so you can gain access to the {{ZoneIcon|Arid Plains}}. You may as well kill {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}} for GP, or hit some {{MonsterIcon|Statue|Statues}} for some {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold}} and {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}}, which are both Easy Slayer Tasks, meaning they’re free to reroll.
