There are no downsides to attempting Volcanic Cave early, however, it will be a significant challenge to complete if you attempt this dungeon if under-levelled. In general, you will want to be at least {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|80}} and you should be able to complete {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} relatively easily before attempting this dungeon. Ideally, you will want sufficient {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} to survive the dungeon without resorting to manual eating.

Ancient Magick spells do not scale in the same way as standard magic (i.e. with equipment buffs and debuffs), but they are still impacted by the [[Combat Triangle]] in the normal way. Typically, when you first obtain [[Ancient Magick]] it is more powerful than the regular magic and so should used in preference. However, late-game these spells will not scale with gear and so will become less useful.
