Because the vast majority of the damage done is due to the special attack of {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, which is unaffected by damage increases and has 100% accuracy, we opt to sacrifice the {{ItemIcon|Warlock Ring}} in favour of {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}}. The dps downgrade is minimal (less than 0.5% fewer kills/hr) but the additional slayer coins help pay for the prayer points used and can be put towards remaining master slayer purchases. | Because the vast majority of the damage done is due to the special attack of {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}, which is unaffected by damage increases and has 100% accuracy, we opt to sacrifice the {{ItemIcon|Warlock Ring}} in favour of {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}}.

For the same reason as above, {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} does not contribute very much to our DPS, but {{ItemIcon|Warlock Amulet}} saves around {{ItemIcon|Crab|qty=50}}/hr. Strictly speaking the {{ItemIcon|Crab}} end up being worth more than the fraction of a kill in terms of time-to-obtain efficiency, but {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} is still fine to use if one prefers to complete the {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} slightly faster in exchange for about 20% more food usage. | ||

Overall farming {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} consumes roughly | Overall farming {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}} consumes roughly {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|qty=1000}}, {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=1000}}, {{ItemIcon|Light Rune|qty=2000}} per hour. Over the 3 days it takes to farm {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}}, expect to consume {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|qty=67500}}, {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=67500}} and {{ItemIcon|Light Rune|qty=135000}}. The latter is abundantly obtained from standard resupplies, but the two former must be obtained manually. | ||
The following two setups are recommended for farming runes. The advantage of the melee setup is there are no supply usage costs, while the ranged setup is more kills/hr if one has an abundance of knives handy. | The following two setups are recommended for farming runes.

With the previous gear setup, one can expect to obtain about {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|qty=800}}/hr using melee and almost {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|qty=1000}} with ranged. The ranged setup will consume about {{ItemIcon|Ancient Throwing Knife|qty=1000}} per hour, so it essentially trades {{ItemIcon|Ancient Throwing Knife}} for {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} 1:1. Lower tier knives are perfectly viable, as even {{ItemIcon|Bronze Throwing Knife}} is still better than the melee setup (around 840 {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}}/hr in the worst case scenario). A {{ItemIcon|Ranged Skillcape}} is also worth considering, as this drops the knife usage to around 650/hr, or down to around 400/hr if {{ItemIcon|Throwing Power Gloves}} are swapped for {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Gloves}}. This will cut the kills/hr by a noticeable amount. It should take about 70-85 hours to obtain all the {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} necessary, depending on the method used. | ||

Luckily this will be a lot faster, obtaining about {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=2150}}/hr with melee and about {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=2675}}/hr with ranged. Similar ammo saving considerations can be made as above when farming {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}}. While collecting the {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune|qty=67500}}, you will also snag {{ItemIcon|Chaos Rune|qty=27000}}, {{ItemIcon|Death Rune|qty=8000}} and over {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Magic|qty=400}} for your second and third {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}}. This will be much faster than {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}}, clocking in around 30 hours to collect all the necessary {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune}}. The {{ItemIcon|Chaos Rune}} when used on {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} should give about 2.3m magic exp and the {{ItemIcon|Death Rune}} around 900k. If starting the T90 grind without having {{Skill|Magic|90}} required to equip {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} then one should start the rune farming grind with {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}} and use the higher tier catalytic runes to level their magic. | ||

However, over the 115 hours spent farming runes, the time saved (about 9-10 hours) is quite considerable. With {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}}, full Ragnar, {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} and {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} one earns around 65k slayer coins per hour doing elite slayer while spending only 6.5k prayer points. This means the 9-10 hours saved contributes around 500k slayer coins (minus points spent on resupplies to replenish prayer) towards the 2m total coin cost of the melee master slayer set. Master slayer is also required for the next stage of the game which is farming {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}, so this is the best time to obtain it. | ||
* Combined, the total grind will be about 70 hours farming {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}}, 85 hours for {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} and 30 hours for {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune}} totalling 185 hours. This is on par with the previous two items combined, which is fitting as it is the most useful for a CO-account with limited resources. | * Combined, the total grind will be about 70 hours farming {{MonsterIcon|Umbora}}, 85 hours for {{ItemIcon|Air Rune}} and 30 hours for {{ItemIcon|Mind Rune}} totalling 185 hours.

All up it would require 100+295 = 395 hours (2.5 weeks). This also burns {{ItemIcon|Crab|qty=500}}/hr while only producing {{ItemIcon|Crab|qty=663}}/hr, barely profiting. Requires {{ItemIcon|Guardian Ring}} for those insane enough to try in order to meet the DR requirement, as it is not as necessary to mitigate all of the area effect due to {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}} not heavily scaling with attack speed. | ||

All up this would cost about 180k/310k crabs and around 1.4m prayer points, as well as around 241/207 hours depending on whether one can spare to forego {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Melee}}. | ||
