The guide is written with the goal of idling the dungeon. If you want to do it manually, the requirements are much more relaxed, although the more DR you have, the easier it is to do anyway. | |||
===Why clear Volcanic Cave?=== | |||
On each clear, you get the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} that gives 2% DR. | |||
{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is the place where you gear up in preparation for the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}. | |||
It is also a place to farm [[Amulet of Fury|Amulets of Fury]] for {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}}. Check the [[Fury_of_the_Elemental_Zodiacs/Guide|Guide about FEZ]] to see if Volcanic Cave is the best option for you. | |||
After you clear it 100 times, you will unlock Ancient Magicks - {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}}, {{Icon|Icicle Volley|type=spell}}, and {{Icon|Ignite|type=spell}} - Icicle Volley is by far the strongest. Ancient Magicks is not affected by damage amplification in any way except the [[Combat Triangle]]. No curses, no debuffs, no gear buffs. However, it is much stronger than the basic magic at this stage. For instance, when basic magic could clear {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} 8 times per hour, Ancient Magicks could do it 22 times. | |||

{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} contains only {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} monsters. Therefore, clearing it with pre-Volcanic {{Skill|Ranged}} setups is unfeasible due to the [[Combat Triangle]] penalties. | |||
It is assumed that you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}}. | |||
