Ancient Relics/Guide: Difference between revisions

This section gives a walkthrough on how to defeat the early dungeons without too reliance on skill and/or luck. In your playthrough, you should use the Ancient Relics and skills that you unlock, it is possible that your route will deviate quickly from this path, however, this guide does not rely on any particular skills or relics being obtained and so should work for all playthroughs, but will not be the optimum.

For the walkthrough, it is assumed that you have levelled all of the combat stats to the maximum after every dungeon. And that all combat training is done using Slayer Tasks to give {{SC}}. You will need a supply of {{GP}}, and it is assumed that you are either mining ore to obtain jewels, or thieving and selling items. When equipped, the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} will give a guaranteed jewel for every ore which is a good way to make early {{GP}}.

In your playthrough, it is recommended that you level every skill to 20, as soon as it becomes available, as this will give a guaranteed Ancient Relic. [[Ancient Relics]] often give benefits outside of the skill itself, so so not overlook the benefits these and the [[Lesser Relics]]. Also, leveling township and farming as you go along is recommended as these passive skills will pay dividends in time.

|body1=

|legs1=Air Acolyte Wizard Bottoms

|weapon1=Staff of Earth

Start {{Skill|Cartography}} to unlock {{ItemIcon|Shrimp|50}}, but save this for the dungeon. Survey and discover {{POIIcon|Farmer's Market}} in {{Hex|13|16}} to obtain {{ItemIcon|Potatoes|500}} which will be your main combat training food supply. Next, survey and discover {{POIItem|The Restless Sanctum}} to get {{ItemIcon|Bones|1000}} which can be buried for {{PP}}.

 

Level up all of your combat skills to level 10 on {{MonsterIcon|Plant}} and {{MonsterIcon|Cow}} using low-level slayer tasks. When you obtain {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief|type=mark}} craft {{ItemIcon|Bronze Dagger|50}} to allow more marks to be discovered.

 

For the dungeon battle, equip {{SpellIcon|Earth Strike}} and equip {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief|25}} and {{PrayerIcon|Thick Skin}}. Time your {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} eats carefully when battling {{MonsterIcon|Mumma Chicken}} so that you get the most hits in.

You should now unlock Level 15, and will be given a random selection of skill boosts.

|body1=Air Acolyte Wizard Robes

|legs1=Water Acolyte Wizard Bottoms

|boots1=Earth Acolyte Wizard Boots

|neck1=Silver Ruby Necklace

In {{Skill|Cartography}}, survey and discover {{POIIcon|Old Village}} to unlock {{Skill|Archaeology}}. Navigate a path that follows lowest the lowest cost tiles (and avoids any other POIs) until you reach the {{POIIcon|The Friendly Fisherman}} at {{Hex|6|27}} which gets {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|50}}. Next survey and discover {{POIIcon|Shrouded Horizon}} at {{Hex|4|26]}} to give {{SC|50000}}. Purchase {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield|5}} from the [[Shop]] to complete the township task that gives you {{ItemIcon|Eyeball|1000}}. Obtain the {{Icon|Occultist|type=mark}} and then craft as many {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} as you can.

 

Using your remaining {{SC}}, purchase as many basic re-supplied as you can afford to give you {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}. You should now have more than enough food to complete the dungeon.

For the dungeon battle, equip {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}} or {{ItemIcon|Lobster}}, {{SpellIcon|Fire Strike}}, {{SpellIcon|Soul Split I}} and {{SpellIcon|Blinding I}} spells. Use {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} and {{PrayerIcon|Thick Skin}} to increase your chances of success.

=== Spider Forest: Level 20 ===

|shield1=(G) Mithril Shield

|weapon1=Mithril Scimitar

|neck1=Silver Ruby Necklace

Using the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} mine {{ItemIcon|Iron Ore}} (or your strongest ore available) to obtain jewels which you can sell. When you have {{GP|1000000}} available, then purchase {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier I}} to make combat slightly easier. In {{Skill|Crafting}} make {{ItemIcon|Iron Gloves}} (or {{ItemIcon|Bronze Gloves}} if not upgraded). It is especially important that you spend the time to train your prayer and hitpoints.

Use {{PrayerIcon|Burst of Strength}} and {{PrayerIcon|Clarity of Thought}} to increase your odds. Equip {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} summon. During the battle with {{MonsterIcon|Spider King}} you will need to time your eats carefully to avoid being killed and it may take more than one attempt.

Congratulations, you are well on the path of the [[Ancient Relics]]. You can check out all of the dungeon guides for more hints and tips, but the walkthrough is complete. Good Luck!
