==Dark Water Level 90 Weapon Farming==


Following completion of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}, you now have access to {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, the penultimate slayer area. These 3 mobs drop fragments for the T90 weapons, the highest level, and often most powerful, weapons in the game that are extremely helpful in completing the following slayer area, as well as the Impending Darkness Event. These are extremely long grinds, and require quite a bit of preparation. Each weapon requires 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 2% drop rate. That's 5,000 kills on average.

These 3 mobs drop fragments for the Level 90 weapons, the highest level, and often most powerful, weapons in the base game that are extremely helpful in completing the following slayer area, as well as the Impending Darkness Event. These are extremely long grinds, and require quite a bit of preparation. Each weapon requires 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 2% drop rate. That's 5,000 kills on average.


We recommend acquiring them while fighting each monster as a slayer task, this will require you to turn OFF auto-slayer, and will encourage semi-frequent check-ins. Doing these on task will increase your damage dealt to them from various buffs, namely {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}. This will make the order you obtain the final weapons in effectively random, but if you don't want to deal with the hassle of rerolling, or simply want to do them in a specific order, we recommend the following:

===Shockwave===
===Shockwave===
While the other two weapons are pretty straightforward in terms of gear, the {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} is not.


{{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} is by far the most dangerous and is both willing, and able to kill you if you are not extremely careful in your setup. This monster is able to buff itself to an attack speed of 2.2s, and is able to stun you, which increases its damage against you by 30%. Your goal here is either to be able to survive the increased stun damage, or to never actually take the stun damage by having an equivalent or faster attack speed than the monster's fastest speed.

You need to use Melee for this grind, it is highly recommended that you use an {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} to complete this. {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} is too slow to reliably survive Rokken's stun without extra work (ie. {{PetIcon|Otto}}), requiring you to make compromises that can negatively impact your kill time.  
You need to use Melee for this grind, it is highly recommended that you use an {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}, {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} or {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} to complete this.  
 


====Equipment====
This Equipment should work at {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|95}} (990 {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}}) with 56% DR.
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} & {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} (Requires {{SkillReq|Prayer|95}} otherwise use {{PrayerIcon|Chivalry}}) <br>
* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion}} > {{ItemIcon|Melee Accuracy Potion IV}} or {{ItemIcon|Melee Strength Potion IV}} <br>
* Point of Interest: {{POIIcon|The Molten Peak}} ({{POIIcon|Dark Waters}} Lowers our Slayer Negation so ends up with less kills)
'''Disclaimer:''' Gem slot is not required but recommended.

The {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet|Fighter}}/{{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}} is the best passive/neck setup, even beating out the item doubling from {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}}.
====Agility====


{{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)}} and {{ItemIcon|Slayer Platebody (Master)}} positively impact the amount of fragments you receive, and if available, should be used.

For this setup to work safely without risk of death, the player's attack interval while in combat with this enemy '''must''' be less than or equal to 2.2 seconds, as this means the player is quick enough to avoid taking extra damage when {{MonsterIcon|Rokken}} attacks with the Shockwave special attack. To achieve this, we use a weapon that has a base 2.2s interval, and gather 40% total slayer area negation through {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Elite)}}. At {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=1000}}, which can be achieved with {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|97}} and +30 HP from {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, this method requires 48% [[Damage Reduction]].


To safely use {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} in this grind, the player's attack speed must be 2.2s during combat, which requires 40% Slayer Area Negation and at least two sources of -0.1s interval. This is typically achieved by wearing the {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} in the passive slot and ownership of {{PetIcon|Otto}}.
====Gear Setups, Prayer & Drops Per Hour====


To use the {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} the player must have at least {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=1050}}, 63% DR, and must have {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring}} equipped
Estimates of drops per hour.
