#**When crafting {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}} it is highly advised to get as much +1 additional resource chance as possible ([[Relics|Smithing Relic #3]] 50%, {{ItemIcon|Mining Lantern}} 30%, {{POIIcon|Ragnar Dungeon Ruins}} 10/20%, {{UpgradeIcon|Magic Anvil}} 10%), as well as getting the stacking/separate extra resource modifier from the {{Synergy|Ent|Salamander}} Synergy. <br>

In addition, the [[Relics|Smithing Relic #3]] gives +50% chance for +1 Additional Resource and the {{Synergy|Ent|Salamander}} Synergy gives a stacking/separate extra resource boost.
#** When all these buffs are obtained, it should lower the amount of {{ItemIcon|Barrier Dust}} needed for a complete set from 96,000 to roughly 43,600.

#** Some {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}} will be obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} while grinding out the {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} required for the (B) upgrades, this is however an unreliable way to obtain {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}} as it will require 241 clears on average to get enough bars for 1 piece.

#* It is advised to upgrade [[Terran God Armour]] first, particularly the {{ItemIcon|Terran God Boots (B)|Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platelegs (B)|Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody (B)|Platebody}}. The Helm and Gloves will be replaced at a later point with the {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon|Necromancers Palace Summon Set}} and thus have a lower priority to be upgraded at this point.

When going for this option, making the choice to do the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} grinding before {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} can be worth it as you also gain (B) [[God Equipment|God Armour]] from doing this, making the clear speed on {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} faster. <br>

The setups from the first method can be applied to this method, simply replace any gained (B) [[Terran God Armour]] for their normal counterparts. <br>
