|
| ==Analysis==
| |
| Essentially, we want to know which of two sequences is faster:
| |
| * Rapier → Claw → Volcano,
| |
| * Rapier → Volcano → Claw.
| |
|
| |
| ====Full-Sunset Volcano vs Full-Claw Volcano====
| |
| Let's consider the builds Rapier and Slicing Winds.
| |
|
| |
| The difference between their timings of completing the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} is 19 hours.
| |
|
| |
| The Volcano grind of the full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set is longer with the with {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} than it is with the Claw.
| |
|
| |
| The question is then if the difference between the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|rapier}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} in the Volcanic grind is bigger than 19 hours.
| |
|
| |
| We know the length of "Rapier → Claw" and "Volcano → Claw", but we need the data on "Rapier → Volcano" and "Claw → Volcano".
| |
|
| |
| We take this data from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#Weapon choice]].

| |
|
| |
| The goal of clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is to get the {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set.
| |
|
| |
| As specified on in the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide]], you need 1350 clears to almost certainly get a full set of Ancient armour or 832 clears to have a 75% chance. The median (50% of results) is 564 clears.

| |
|
| |
| The biggest difference is 10 hours. It means that Rapier → Volcano → Claw is faster than Rapier → Claw → Volcano by at least 9 hours.
| |
|
| |
| However, what if we were to use the [[Ancient Magicks]] as soon as we unlock it?
| |
|
| |
| ====Sunset/Ancient Volcano vs Claw/Ancient Volcano====
| |
| It is possible to clear the Volcano using [[Ancient Magicks]] with the build from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic]]. Pay attention that you need 37% DR with {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=920|HP}} to idle it. That amount of DR is reached either through the {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} prayer or through the {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion II|DR potion II}}. Without prayer or potions, you need {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=940|HP}}.
| |
|
| |
| If we consider that we clear only 100 Volcanoes as a melee build and the rest as the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic|100-Volcanoes]] Magic build, then we compare the two sequences:
| |
|
| |
| * Claw farm with Rapier + 100 Claw Volcanoes,
| |
| * 100 Rapier Volcanoes + Claw farm with Ancient Magicks.
| |

| |
| ! scope="row" colspan="2" | Difference (h)
| |
| | 0.74
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| In other words, the advantage of farming 100 {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|Volcanic Caves}} with the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} when compared to the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} is approximately 45 minutes.
| |
|
| |
| Now we consider the rearranged sum of what we compare:
| |
|
| |
| * Claw farm with Rapier + 100 Claw Volcanoes,
| |
| * Claw farm with Slicing Winds + 100 Rapier Volcanoes.
| |
|
| |
| We subtract the second row from the first one and get
| |
|
| |
| <math>19 - 0.74 = 18.26</math>
| |
|
| |
| In other words the sequence where we farm the Claw after the Volcano is faster than the sequence of farming the claw with Rapier by slightly over 18 hours.
| |
|
| |
| ==Conclusion==
| |
| Farm the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} with the {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} build right after you finish {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|qty=100|Volcanic Caves}}. Don't forget to enable the Surge aurora.
| |
|
| |
| If you cannot use this build for some reason, then use the Rapier melee build with Slayer gear.
