Each non-Wind spell also has the option of using {{ItemIcon|Mist Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Dust Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Combination Runes}} | Each non-Wind spell also has the option of using {{ItemIcon|Mist Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Dust Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Combination Runes}}. Combination Runes are a good way to level {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, as they are worth significantly more XP than their individual counterparts; crafting combination runes for spells you plan to use is a great way to make more efficient use of your {{Skill|Runecrafting}} leveling. | ||
When using Combination Runes, | When using Combination Runes, look to synergize your staff with any Aurora also being cast, as their rune cost reduction does not apply to Combination Runes. For example, there is no benefit to using a {{ItemIcon|Fire Battlestaff}} with {{SpellIcon|Fire Wave}} if you are casting the spell with {{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Smoke Runes}}, but there would be a benefit of using a {{ItemIcon|Air Battlestaff}} with {{SpellIcon|Fire Wave}} if you were also casting {{SpellIcon|Surge II}}. | ||

{{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} is one of the most difficult challenges in the game. It cannot be idled. | |||
To start, the player must first fight 20 Afflicted versions of randomly chosen monsters between combat level 165 and 677. Any monster, including bosses, save those from {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} or {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, can be chosen. | |||
[[Affliction]] is a special status effect applied by monsters that reduces your max HP. This means that the encounters are a race against the clock, forcing you to kill the enemy before your affliction stacks get too high. Due to this, it is recommended that you focus on DPS above all else when choosing your three gear sets. | |||
'''This dungeon cannot be completed without the Dungeon Equipment Swapping upgrade purchased from the shop.''' | |||
Note that it may be beneficial to complete the [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks required to unlock {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}} before completing Into the Mist for the first time. This is because of {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} monsters being added to the pool of available enemies. It will no longer be trivial to use {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} for Master tier Tasks, as the new enemies are fairly strong, and are more lethal to the average player than the Greater Dragons available in the {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} version of Master Tasks. If you do not feel comfortable learning how to do manual slayer, feel free to Auto-slay Perilous Peaks. See below for a more in depth explanation. | |||
{{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} consists of 3 boss phases in a set order, with pauses in between each phase. Refer to [[Into the Mist/Guide]] for a comprehensive guide on completing this dungeon. | |||
Notable Rewards: | |||
* Access to the {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} slayer area, where the T90 weapons can be obtained | |||
* {{PetIcon|Pablo}} - Drops after 5 completions | |||
===Combat Passive Slot=== | |||
Main Article: [[Combat Passive Slot]] | |||
Congratulations on completing {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}! The reward is one of the best upgrades in the game, the Passive Slot. This allows any item with a "Passive: ____" effect to be equipped in said slot. | |||
While the original article is more than exhaustive, some of the best choices are highlighted here: | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} - More item doubling is always good | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}} - More item doubling is always good | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer Armor}} - Lets you splash more Flat Slayer Area Reduction, along with a pittance of item doubling | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} - Slightly more dps from attack interval reduction, a big pile of free lifesteal helps preserve food stocks | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} - Melee only, good dps, less attacks taken from enemies | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Deadeye Amulet}} - Ranged only, fantastic dps | |||
===When to complete Master Slayer Tasks: Before or after ITM=== | |||
{{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}} and therefore {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer Armor}} are unlocked by completing 40 [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks. In the base game, Master Tier Slayer consists of 3 Slayer areas based on the following unlock conditions: | |||
* {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} - {{SkillReq|Slayer|85}}. By default, only enemies in this area will appear in Master Tasks | |||
* {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} - {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} completed at least once. | |||
* {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} - [[Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland]] purchased from the [[Shop]]. | |||
The {{TotH|Throne of the Herald Expansion}} contains new Master Slayer areas, but these are all locked behind completion of the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} | |||
Completing 40 Master tasks can take anywhere from 20-80+ hours (with a probable average of about 40hours), depending on your setup, luck with task length, or efficiency/luck in rerolling for short tasks on the fastest to kill monster. These tasks can be completed either before or after {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}, and which method you do is up to you. | |||
Due to the difficulty of enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, using {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} to complete Master tasks is no longer feasible following the completion of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}. Therefore, it is 'simpler' to complete all 40 tasks while having only {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} unlocked, as the only necessity is to meet the DR checkpoints of each monster. You will also need a fairly healthy supply of food, as these Greater Dragons all have the Greater Dragonbreath ability, which deals a large amount of unavoidable damage. | |||
The {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} drop valuable materials to make powerful weapons, generally consume equal or less food than greater dragons, and an average of about 40 hours each to complete with optimal setups. Therefore, even though they cannot be done on Auto-slayer, completing your Master tasks while working on your t90 weapons will most likely consume less food, and generally take less overall time on on task by killing two birds with one stone. The major downside here is that you will want to check back in every 2-3 hours to swap your equipment and manually change to the next task. This is not mandatory, but it is recommended as you will be earning Slayer XP and Slayer Coins all the while, and you will be able to purchase [[Prayer|Prayer Points]] and [[Generous Resupply|Food]] at a profit. | |||
Consider the addition of the [[Combat Passive Slot|Passive Slot]] - By equipping powerful passive effects in this slot, you can greatly increase your DPS, item drop rate, or greatly reduce your food consumption. This is most noticable on Greater Dragons; with the {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} equipped, food use against these enemies drops ''dramatically''. {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} works similarly for enemies primarily fought with Melee; {{Icon|Rokken|type=monster}} and {{Icon|Hunting Greater Dragon|type=monster}}. | |||
