At this point, ownership of the {{TotH}} Throne of the Herald Expansion can really benefit the player with new items and passives. See the [[Combat Guide#How Throne of the Herald affects Base Game Combat|Throne of the Herald]] section to see which items and upgrades change progression. All {{TotH}} items will require skill levels higher than 100 and may take a very long time to obtain. Combat equipment such as {{ItemIcon|Divine Helmet}}, {{ItemIcon|Carrion Body}}, or {{ItemIcon|Poison Legendary Wizard Hat}} ''CANNOT'' be equipped until the completion of base game combat with the defeat of {{MonsterIcon|Bane, Instrument of Fear}}.

==How Throne of the Herald affects Base Game Combat==
All combat skills can be leveled up to 120, providing increased stats as a reward for the time spent:
* {{Skill|Hitpoints}} can alleviate pain points in progression and allow the player to accomplish more difficult challenges without needing to make as many equipment tradeoffs.
* {{Skill|Prayer}} is likely to be one of the players highest level skills even relatively early on, allowing them to use the extremely powerful {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Valor|notext=true}}{{PrayerIcon|Avidity|notext=true}}{{PrayerIcon|Divination|notext=true}} the 100+ Max Hit Prayers.
<div class="warningbox">All Combat equipment (ie. {{ItemIcon|Corundum Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Corundum Sword|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{ItemIcon|Revenant Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Revenant Shortbow|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Crafting}}, and {{ItemIcon|Lightning Mythical Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Lightning Staff|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Runecrafting}}) ''CANNOT BE EQUIPPED'' until the defeat of {{MonsterIcon|Bane, Instrument of Fear}}.</div>
* {{ItemIcon|Necromancers Crown}} from {{SkillReq|Thieving|102}} automatically doubles all {{ItemIcon|Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Big Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|notext=true}} Bones, as well as {{ItemIcon|Holy Dust}} and {{ItemIcon|Air Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Earth Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Fire Shard|notext=true}} Shards dropped by monsters in the God Dungeons.
* The majority of {{Skill|Herblore}} Potions can be created and used without any progression into {{TotH}} Combat.
* {{Skill|Agility}} provides more powerful buffs than previously available and does not require combat progression. {{Agility|Waterfall Crossing}} is an exceptional capstone obstacle that eliminates the need for {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} to reliably connect with attacks.
* {{ItemIcon|Siren}} and {{ItemIcon|Fox}} can be created in {{Skill|Summoning}}.
* The {{Skill|Astrology}} Constellation {{ConstellationIcon|Ashtar}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Superior Max Skillcape}} is a direct upgrade to the level 99 {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} as a reward for players who have fully leveled all of their skills.
