==Into the Abyss Combat==
 
===Early Game Into the Abyss===
 
After collecting all suggested gear from the [[#Gear|Gear]] section, proceed to start combat. Immediate goals are to begin gathering {{Icon|Abyssal Damage}} resistant gear. Remember that leveling all skills simultaneously is a lot more important in {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion|Into the Abyss]] than base game. It is recommended that other abyssal skills are leveled a bit before starting combat to get their AXP bonuses from the respective [[Skill Tree|Skill trees]]: {{Skill|Astrology}}, {{Skill|Agility}}, {{Skill|Township}} and {{Skill|Firemaking}}.


===Early Game Atlas of Discovery===
Items that are acquired from other skills will be omitted in the interest of verbosity.


After collecting the first three god sets from: {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}, {{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon}} and {{ZoneIcon|Earth God Dungeon}} the player will be well equipped to start combat. Immediate goals are to begin gathering {{Icon|Barrier}} damaging equipment. The first gear the player will get is actually from the {{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} in {{Skill|Archaeology}}. Remember {{Skill|Cartography}} and {{Skill|Archaeology}} are crucial to progressing {{AoD}} [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion|Atlas Of Discovery]] combat.
''Remember to check Dungeon guides before attempting to ensure you meet the minimum requirements! Or just use [[Combat Simulator]] if you have that.''

===Late Game Atlas of Discovery===
===Late Game Into the Abyss===


The main goal of late game is to find {{POIIcon|Melantis}}, collect the three weapons from {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}}, finishing {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} and then acquiring endgame clear speed items for the subsequent {{PetIcon|Lumi|notext=true}} pet farms.
This is mostly preparing for {{ZoneIcon|The Final Depth}}. Creating the {{ItemIcon|EXalted Ornament of Destruction, Illusion, Umbra & Sorcery}} will take a while requiring a lot of amulets from various enemies. You can check the elite amulet then regular amulets to see the best enemies to farm. The items upto {{ItemIcon|Voidburst Gloves}} are all from {{ZoneIcon|Depths of Resolve}} farming so if you intend on getting everything anyways ignore upto there.
