After completing the T90 weapon grinds, you are ready to face the final content in Melvor. {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} is the final {{Skill|Slayer}} area. To access, you will need to purchase a {{UpgradeIcon|Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland}}. This area requires maximizing a different stat than DR. All of the monsters here will heal a % of their HP every 2 attacks, which will outpace your DPS regardless of setup. To mitigate this, you will need the following example Melee set for use versus the {{Icon|Legaran Wurm|type=monster}}:
After completing the T90 weapon grinds, you are ready to face the final content in Melvor. {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} is the final {{Skill|Slayer}} area. To access, you will need to purchase a {{UpgradeIcon|Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland}}. This area requires maximizing a different stat than DR. All of the monsters here will heal a % of their current HP every 2 attacks, which will massively hinder your DPS regardless of setup. To mitigate this, you will need cumulative 100% Flat Slayer Area Effect Negation. The following is an example of the gear required for a melee setup.:

For the other gearing, should be pretty similar. For the neck slots:
For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor. Note that you cannot ever wear two of the same item, so whichever item you choose to put in passive slot must be one of the armor pieces not currently equipped in your chest/head slots.
* {{Skill|Magic}} - {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} - Slot in the neck for extra DR and accuracy
* {{Skill|Ranged}} - {{ItemIcon|Deadeye Amulet}} - Single largest DPS increase for ranged


For the shield slots, you should stick with {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, or the style shield from {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} ({{ItemIcon|Shield of Melee Power}} / {{ItemIcon|Shield of Magic Power}} / {{ItemIcon|Shield of Ranged Power}}).
It should be noted that while UW is listed first, '''completing the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} will strictly make this grind faster!''' You can complete ID without any of the UW gear sets, and the shields greatly speed up these grinds.

Below are some gear suggestions. As the final combat area available, this expects you have access to all of the buffs available to you. However, depending on your {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses, your optimal gear may change.

Using the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} instead of the {{ItemIcon|Shield of Melee Power}} does not impact any of your gearing choices, but will be slower.
Legaran Wurms are the main enemy where your {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses change what equipment you wear. With absolutely no combat bonuses from astrology, {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} and {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} are your best bet. With enough stardust spent, {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}} overtakes Fighter. With even more stardust spent, {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} once again takes the cake, the lemons, and all the loot.
For consumables, Melee has few stipulations, just equip whatever kills the enemy the fastest
* {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck Potions}}
* {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Piety|type=prayer}}
* {{ItemIcon|Minotaur}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} tablets

For consumables, Ranged does have one major stipulation. Cursed Liches are immune to Burn.

Using the {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}} instead of the {{ItemIcon|Shield of Magic Power}} allows you to use {{Icon|Augury|type=prayer}} safely, however it is still slower than the Shield of Power.
The above gear is missing one key ingredient, 1% DR. The {{Icon|Safeguard|type=prayer}} gives you this 1% DR at the lowest cost to DPS

Greater Dragons are the most dangerous enemy currently in the game as Affliction buildup can result in an unfortunate death. This can be mitigated best, like most untimely deaths, by killing the enemy before they kill you. '''The most important element to beating Greater Skeletal Dragons is {{Icon|Protect from Melee|type=prayer}} as it massively reduces your chance of death, while ''increasing'' your dps due to you spending less time stunned.'''
* {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck Potions}} or {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}
* {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Protect from Melee|type=prayer}}
* {{ItemIcon|Witch}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} tablets
* {{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}}, {{Icon|Anguish III|type=curse}}, and {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}}
