There are no downsides to attempting Volcanic Cave early as you will obtain powerful gear if you manage to complete it. However, it will be a significant challenge if you attempt this dungeon under-levelled.

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 Magicks]] it is more powerful than the regular magic and so should used in preference. However, these fall off relatively quickly.

The secondary effect of robes (+20 minimum hit for matching spells) outweighs the damage increase of higher level spells.

Magic builds using [[Ancient Magicks]] generally produce more drops per hour than the Melee equivalents. However, due to the number of runes needed, and the non-scaling nature of [[Ancient Magicks]], as you progress {{Skill|Melee}} builds will eventually give faster clear times.

The gear needed for a manual run through the dungeon is significantly lower than needed for idling. However, it also depends on how well you time your eating as this will interrupt your attack and lengthen the combat time.

The {{Icon|Ancient Relics}} game mode restricts the players maximum levels for combat skills to to 10 plus 5 times the number of dungeons completed. For this dungeon, the players combat skills will be capped at a maximum of '''65''', and the guide will assume all non-combat skills are of a similar level.


Suggestions assume no [[Pets]], [[Relics]], {{Skill|Agility}}, {{Skill|Cartography}} or {{Skill|Astrology}}.

It is suggested you get either {{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Helmet|notext=true}}[[Adamant_Equipment#Armour|Adamant Armour]] or {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Helmet|notext=true}}[[Rune_Equipment#Armour|Rune Armour]] at this point. <br>
Whichever [[Armour]] tier you choose, you will be using the same for {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}. <br>
If you wish to continue with {{Skill|Magic}} that is possible to, you will need a {{ItemIcon|Fire Adept Wizard Hat|Fire Adept Wizard Gear Set}} as well as skill cap {{Skill|Runecrafting|70}} unlocked.
 
 
Make sure you spam [[Eat]] through {{MonsterIcon|Prat, the Protector of Secrets}}s Volley Attack, this attack hits 3 times. <br>
Also be mindful of {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor}}s Double-Claw attack, this hits twice for a large amount of damage.
 
==Melee==
 
[[Melee]] is the slightly slower version of the 2, however it does not have a [[Rune]] cost, the [[Food]] cost is about the same.
 
 
The average clear time of this dungeon is roughly 5.5 minutes with [[Melee]]
You can use {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} as an alternative, this will however take about 2.5 minutes longer to clear.


The clear speed of {{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Helmet|notext=true}}[[Adamant_Equipment#Armour|Adamant Armour]] and {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Helmet|notext=true}}[[Rune_Equipment#Armour|Rune Armour]] is about the same. <br>

{{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Helmet|Adamant Armour}} uses roughly 390 {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} for a single clear. <br>
{{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Helmet|Rune Armour}} uses roughly 345 {{ItemIcon|Lobster}} for a single clear.


Swapping in a {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} will greatly increase your kill speed, this may however take up to 5-8 hours to obtain and won't be used for that long. This is not recommended.

Using {{Synergy|Occultist|Minotaur}} will greatly increase your clear speed.
[[Melee]] is the slightly slower version of the 2, however it does not have a [[Rune]] cost.


The average clear time for this dungeon is roughly 6 minutes with {{ItemIcon|Rune Claw}}. You can use {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} as an alternative, this will however increase clear time to 7.5 minutes.


The clear speed of {{ItemIcon|(G) Adamant Helmet|notext=true}}[[Adamant_Equipment#Armour|Adamant Armour]] and {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Helmet|notext=true}}[[Rune_Equipment#Armour|Rune Armour]] is about the same and can also be used for {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}.
