Immediate Upgrades

Before completing the first Post-Impending Darkness dungeon, some immediate upgrades can be obtained without doing combat.

  • Melee
    • If possible, armour created from smithing should be made. However, this is not of high priority.
      • Note that the armour needs to be trimmed to provide damage reduction.
    • The   Divine Sword is useful, but not immediately.
    • If it hasn't been obtained already, the   Ultima Godsword is incredibly useful due to it's high chance of an unavoidable attack.
      • The   Big ol Ron can be used to efficiently farm for this weapon, if obtained
  • Ranged
    • If you are able to create Hardwood Armour, they are a direct upgrade from your previous Aeris armour. Just note that only the trimmed armour will provide damage reduction, but this does require a hefty amount of

      Fletching
      is high enough, you can also get immediate upgrades from fletching. The   Meteorite Crossbow is the best choice, along with   Meteorite Bolts.

        Crafting
        is level 120. Thankfully, this is very easy to do as crafting can easily yield rates of up over 15m xp/hr by crafting hardwood bodies.
  • Magic
    • Depending on how high your

      Runecrafting
      level is, you would want to craft a new set of robes. Immediately, all of the new robes provide higher damage reduction. It is recommended to get a branch of   Posion Wizard Gear as beating Ancient Sanctuary allows you to unlock your first

      Archaic Magick
    •   Ocean Song is a good enough weapon for now, but the wands from

      Runecrafting
      are an immediate upgrade. This becomes especially noticeable once

      Poison Pods
      is unlocked, where you can take advantage of the decreased rune usage from any of the 3 post-99 runecrafting wands. These all have higher damage bonuses over   Ocean Song too.
