 {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Defence}} from upgrading {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Defence|Amulets of Defence}}, which are dropped by {{MonsterIcon|Purple Goo Monster|Purple Goo Monsters}}, and {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}}, dropped by {{MonsterIcon|Mummy|Mummies}}, are our best friends for now; the limiting factor for the remaining dungeons is how much DR you have access to.
-Now that you've got full {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Platebody|Rune (G) Armour|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves|nolink=true}} for 32% DR, {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 880 Hitpoints will allow you to idle {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} for your first useful cape, the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}. At this point, you can expect to eat around {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 30,000 HP worth of food per kill without {{Skill|Prayer}}.
+If you've only got {{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Platebody|(G) Adamant Armour|nolink=true}}, you will need about 920 Hitpoints. If you've got full {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Platebody|Rune (G) Armour|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves|nolink=true}} for 32% DR, {{Skill|Hitpoints|notext=true}} 880 Hitpoints instead will allow you to idle {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}. Always make sure to use Can I Idle to verify your specific gear setup before committing to any idle adventure. Regardless of which option you choose, the reward for the dungeon is a very useful cape, the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}, which boasts a very nice 2% DR. If you are just slightly below the threshold needed to idle the dungeon, you can opt to clear it once manually and then use the DR from the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} to idle afterwards. The only dangerous part is the final boss {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor}}, who has a very slow and predictable attack pattern and can easily be manual eaten to avoid lethal damage.
-At this point, you should be using {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply|Standard Resupplies}} for your food needs. If you prefer to fight monsters instead, then {{MonsterIcon|Sweaty Monster|Sweaty Monsters}} for {{ItemIcon|Salmon}} and {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} will reduce your overall time spent farming food. Expect to get food equivalent to 10.2 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Salmon}}, 6.25 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}, and 2.3 HP/kill in {{ItemIcon|Shark}}.
+At this point, your main sources of food are {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} (higher food/hr, more GP/hr but no prayer or bolts) or {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply|Standard Resupplies}} (if you need prayer or bolts).
-Once you have the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape|nolink=true}}, you can farm the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Sand Beast|Sand Beasts}}, which will be your best-in-slot {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} DPS ring. You can even use {{PrayerIcon|Safeguard}} if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|nolink=true}} clears.
+Once you have the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape|nolink=true}}, you can farm the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Sand Beast|Sand Beasts}}, which will be your best-in-slot {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} DPS ring for awhile. You can even use {{PrayerIcon|Safeguard}} if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|nolink=true}} clears.
-Hopefully you find the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|nolink=true}} comfortable, as the goal is to get the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Helmet}}, and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}}. There are no Ancient Boots and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Boots}} are unobtainable on HCCO (as is the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet}},) so you'll continue rocking your {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} for quite a while. Getting the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platebody}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platelegs}} is only useful if you plan to upgrade them to (G), as you still need the extra DR that comes from the (G) upgrade.
+Hopefully you find the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|nolink=true}} comfortable, as the goal is to get the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Ancient Helmet}}, and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}}. There are no Ancient Boots and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Boots}} are unobtainable on CO (as is the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet}}), so you'll continue rocking your {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} for quite a while. Do not worry about getting the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platebody}} and/or {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platelegs}} as you will want to save your bars for {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient armour|nolink=true}}. You should also start using {{Skill|Prayer}} obtained from {{ItemIcon|Standard Resupply|Standard Resupplies}} to help speed up the dungeon and save food. You should expect to use about {{ItemIcon|Trout|qty=1.5k-4k}} per hour, depending on how many {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient pieces}} you have obtained for additional DR and dps.
 Once you get your full {{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody|Ancient Armour|nolink=true}}, make another visit to {{MonsterIcon|Statue|Statues|nolink=true}} to finish off gathering {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars|nolink=true}} and upgrade everything to (G). Luckily the {{ItemIcon|Elite Chest|Elite Chests}} you've been opening also drop plenty of {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars|nolink=true}}.

 After getting the {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Shield}}, there's nothing stopping you from immediately upgrading it again to the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, so head to the {{MonsterIcon|Green Dragon|Green Dragons}} to get {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones|qty=7050}}. You can alternatively wait until getting some {{Skill|Ranged}} levels, as {{MonsterIcon|Green Dragon|Green Dragons|nolink=true}} are slightly weaker to {{Skill|Magic}} and {{Skill|Ranged|nolink=true}} than to {{Skill|Attack|Melee|nolink=true}}, but at this level, you shouldn't have any trouble, and the 8% DR of the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|nolink=true}} will be very useful as a {{Skill|Magic|nolink=true}} and {{Skill|Ranged|nolink=true}} offhand for God dungeons.
-Once you have full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|(G) Ancient Armour|nolink=true}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield|nolink=true}} for 43% DR (or 40% with {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} and {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring|nolik=true}}, it's time to grind any remaining melee skills to ideally at least {{Skill|Attack|90|nolink=true}} / {{Skill|Strength|99|nolink=true}} / {{Skill|Defence|90|nolink=true}} while working your way towards {{SkillReq|Slayer|70}} for your next food upgrade - {{ItemIcon|Trout|nolink=true}} from {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite|Raging Horned Elites}} or RHE; you can also take advantage of the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}} from {{MonsterIcon|Mummy|Mummies}} to speed up stat grinding.

-Once you get to this point, you can expect 447.8 HP in food for every kill! Once you start killing {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite|Raging Horned Elites|nolink=true}}, hold onto the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} they drop as they're your best arrows, even though they can't be equipped until {{SkillReq|Ranged|70}}. Additionally, the {{ItemIcon|Large Horn|Large Horns}} that they drop will likely replace {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}} for GP farming, as the GP/hr is about the same (not to mention the food, arrows, and {{Skill|Prayer}} points you're getting), with a much lower bank demand.
