The name of the game is to obtain DR from any possible sources. Damage and evasion are secondary to DR. Without access to {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Crafting}} or {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, our sources of DR are quite limited, but they exist. Note that all of the items in this section requires {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} to be completed.
The name of the game is to obtain DR from any possible sources. Damage and evasion are secondary to DR. Without access to {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Crafting}} or {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, our sources of DR are quite limited, but they exist. Note that all of the items in this section requires {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} to be completed. Because of the tight DR windows, this section of the guide assumes {{Skill|Hitpoints|120}} and {{PetIcon|Finn, the Cat}}. It may be possible to supplement lower {{Skill|Hitpoints}} levels with {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}}, {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}}, {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} or a {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring}}. Each of these options incurs a relatively large efficiency penalty or opportunity cost so they should used be a last resort. With lower {{Skill|Hitpoints}} it will be up to the user to consult the Combat Simulator and proceed with caution.


The item we seek in this section are {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}, which total an additional 16% DR over the gear at the start of this section. {{ItemIcon|Bundled Protection Body}} can also be used for dungeons.
The item we seek in this section are {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}, which total an additional 16% DR over the gear at the start of this section. {{ItemIcon|Bundled Protection Body}} can also be used for dungeons. The monsters we focus on are {{MonsterIcon|Large Ice Troll}}, {{MonsterIcon|Conda}}, {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} and {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf}}.


# The first item is the {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}} from {{MonsterIcon|Large Ice Troll}} in {{ZoneIcon|Forsaken Tundra}}, which requires {{Skill|Slayer|105}}. These monsters are relatively weak and won't cause too much trouble, but the boots they give offer a whopping 12% DR. These count as legendary slayer tasks and so it is worth rerolling legendary tasks to help make a dent in the 20 tasks needed to purchase {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}.
1. The first item is the {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}} from {{MonsterIcon|Large Ice Troll}} in {{ZoneIcon|Forsaken Tundra}}, which requires {{Skill|Slayer|105}}. These monsters are relatively weak and won't cause too much trouble, but the boots they give offer a whopping 12% DR. These count as legendary slayer tasks and so it is worth rerolling legendary tasks to help make a dent in the 20 tasks needed to purchase {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}.
# With the DR offered from {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}}, the next easily obtainable item is {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} from {{MonsterIcon|Conda}} in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}}, requiring only {{Skill|Slayer|100}}. This monster is easily handled with {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} if your {{Skill|Hitpoints}} is high enough, allowing us to save on valuable runes. The legs give 12% DR. These count as a master slayer task, so feel free to reroll them to earn some slayer coins. Feel free to take on any {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} tasks you roll, as the DR from {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} is not needed for that monster. In addition, any of the other monsters in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}} will also need to be killed at some point for their respective clue pieces, so killing them when you roll their slayer task is slightly more macro-efficient.
# Another very easily obtained item is {{ItemIcon|Bundled Protection Body}} from {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}}. While this item is easier to obtain than {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}}, it is less useful as the body slot contests with master and legendary slayer gear. This item will be useful for dungeons, however, as it also gives 12% DR.
# The next item is {{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword}} from {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf}}. This monster is quite difficult and requires a lot of DR. It is recommended to have {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} first before attempting this monster, although a {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} can be used instead of the legs. These are a legendary task and should be completed on task at all times.
# After all of the above items have been obtained, the next goal is to continue working on {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}. We need to complete 20 tasks and they take a long time. The upgrade offers 10% DR and 25% area negation (+4%/+5% respectively over master) per piece and will be a necessary source of DR and negation moving forward. Continue to farm {{MonsterIcon|Large Ice Troll|Large Ice Trolls}}, {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf|Spectral Ice Wolves}} and possibly {{MonsterIcon|Polar Bear|Polar Bears}}. The latter has an unavoidable, 2 turn freeze attack which reduces your DPS considerably, so it may be worth simply skipping them.


There are unique drops offered by enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Lava Lake}}, but as the area effect is particularly strong these enemies will waste '''a lot''' of food if we tackle them now. Best to wait until we have access to greater slayer area negation. In addition and perhaps more importantly, all of these items are solely for collection log purposes. The {{ItemIcon|Ward of Flame Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|Burning Protection Platelegs}} require {{ItemIcon|(P) Divine Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(P) Divine Platebody}} respectively, which are unobtainable on a CO.
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Magic

|neck1 = Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs

}}
 
As usual, the spell of choice will be {{Icon|Water Strike|type=spell}}.
 
2. With the DR offered from {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}}, the next easily obtainable item is {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} from {{MonsterIcon|Conda}} in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}}, requiring only {{Skill|Slayer|100}}. This monster is easily handled with {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} if your {{Skill|Hitpoints}} is high enough, allowing us to save on valuable runes. The legs give 12% DR. These count as a master slayer task, so feel free to reroll them to earn some slayer coins. Feel free to take on any {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} tasks you roll, as the DR from {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} is not needed for that monster. In addition, any of the other monsters in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}} will also need to be killed at some point for their respective clue pieces, so killing them when you roll their slayer task is slightly more macro-efficient.
 
3. Another very easily obtained item is {{ItemIcon|Bundled Protection Body}} from {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} in {{ZoneIcon|Jungle Labyrinth}}. While this item is easier to obtain than {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}}, it is slightly less useful as the body slot contests with master and legendary slayer gear. This item will be useful for dungeons, however, as it also gives 12% DR.
 
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Melee
|helm1 = Slayer Helmet (Master)
|neck1 = Fighter Amulet
|neck2 = Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
|cape1 = Superior Slayer Skillcape
|cape2 = Slayer Skillcape
|cape3 = Infernal Cape
|body1 = Slayer Platebody (Master)
|legs1 = Ragnar God Platelegs
|weapon1 = Ultima Godsword
|weapon2 = Spectral Ice Sword
|weapon3 = Tidal Edge
|shield1 = Shield of Melee Power
|gloves1 = Relentless Fury Gloves
|gloves2 = Ragnar God Gloves
|gloves3 = Terran God Gloves
|boots1 = Frost Walker Boots
|ring1 = Relentless Fury Ring
|ring2 = Hunter's Ring
|ring3 = Fighter Ring
|passive1 = Shield of Melee Power
|passive2 = !Third Master Slayer Piece
|passive3 = Elder Crown
|prayer1 = Battleborn
|prayer2 = Valor
}}
 
It is not necessary to use {{Skill|Magic}} against either of these monsters, as it is easy to meet the DR requirements with obtained gear. With {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} the {{ItemIcon|Shield of Melee Power}} is the best option for the passive slot. With a 1h weapon instead, then the shield should be equipped in the offhand slot while wearing other typical passive slot items such as {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}}.
 
4. The next item is {{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword}} from {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf}}. This monster is quite difficult and requires a lot of DR. It is recommended to have {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Sight Legs}} first before attempting this monster. These are a legendary task and should be completed on task at all times.
 
{{Equipment/Recommended
|style = Range
|helm1 = Slayer Cowl (Master)
|neck1 = Guardian Amulet
|neck2 = Deadeye Amulet
|neck3 = Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs
|cape1 = Superior Slayer Skillcape
|cape2 = Slayer Skillcape
|body1 = Slayer Leather Body (Master)
|legs1 = Perfect Sight Legs
|weapon1 = Shockwave
|shield1 = Shield of Melee Power
|gloves1 = Poison Virulence Gloves
|gloves2 = Aeris God Gloves
|boots1 = Frost Walker Boots
|ammo1 = Jadestone Bolts
|ammo2 = Diamond Bolts
|ammo3 = Sapphire Bolts
|ring1 = Wasteful Ring
|passive1 = !Third Master Slayer Piece
|passive2 = Guardian Amulet
|prayer1 = Battleborn
|prayer2 = Avidity
}}
 
Note that if you use an amulet other than {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} for the necklace slot, then you will have to wear it in the passive slot or use {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}}+{{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} to make up for the lost DR.
 
5. After all of the above items have been obtained, the next goal is to continue working on {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary)}}. We need to complete 20 tasks and they take a long time. The upgrade offers 10% DR and 25% area negation (+4%/+5% respectively over master) per piece and will be a necessary source of DR and negation moving forward. Continue to farm {{MonsterIcon|Large Ice Troll|Large Ice Trolls}}, {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf|Spectral Ice Wolves}} and possibly {{MonsterIcon|Polar Bear|Polar Bears}}. The last monster has an unavoidable, 2 turn freeze attack which reduces your DPS considerably, so it may be worth simply skipping them. You will eventually need {{ItemIcon|Frost Walker Boots|qty=15}} and {{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword|qty=5}} for upgrades in future, so farm either monster that you prefer.
 
There are unique drops offered by enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Lava Lake}}, but as the area effect is particularly strong these enemies will waste '''a lot''' of food if we tackle them now. Best to wait until we have access to greater slayer area negation. In addition and perhaps more importantly, all of these items are solely for collection log purposes. The {{ItemIcon|Ward of Flame Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|Burning Protection Platelegs}} require {{ItemIcon|(P) Divine Platebody}} and {{ItemIcon|(P) Divine Platelegs}} respectively, which are unobtainable on a CO.
