Underwater City/Guide: Difference between revisions

'''Recommended'''

* {{SkillReq|Agility|99}}, {{SkillReq|Prayer|95}}, {{SkillReq|Attack|75}}, {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|99}}.

The enemies, and especially the {{MonsterIcon|Nagaia}} hit '''very''' hard in this dungeon. A lot of damage reduction is required in order to idle this dungeon without dying. Alternatively, the player can return after having progressed through the {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion|notext=true|img=TotH|}} [[Throne of the Herald]] expansion. Having more hitpoints or other damage reducing and damage inflicting bonusses can greatly speed up the clear times of this dungeon. Set 1 clears the dungeon roughly 27 times per hour. Set 2 clears it roughly 8.5 times per hour. (You can swap the weapon & summons in Set 2).

* Set 2 requires a minimum of {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|99}}. Calculated at all combat skills level 99 in the [[Combat Simulator]].

=Ancient Relics Guide=

Additionally, because of the high regen capabilities of the Monsters {{Icon|Barrier}} it is highly recommended to follow the [[Combat Triangle]], this means a {{Skill|Ranged}} setup for waves 1 and 2, [[Melee]] for waves 3 and 4, {{Skill|Magic}} setup for waves 5 and 6, {{Skill|Ranged}} for waves 7 and 8, and finally [[Melee]] for the 9th and final wave. Active switching styles is highly recommended as the Dungeon will go much faster this way. A setup for each combat style is included in this guide. <br>

Following the instructions and suggested setups from this guide will not require Manual Eating at all. However it will require switching between Combat Styles to the suggested Style listed in the above paragraph.

===Melee===

You can replace {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} and {{ItemIcon|Tormented Ring}} with any combination of [[Amulet]] and [[Ring]] of choice as long as 2/3% [[Damage Reduction]] is gained from those 2 Item Slots combined. <br>

{{Skill|Defence}} [[Relics|Relic #5]] provides a bite more wiggle room replacing the need for [[Damage Reduction]] from either [[Amulet]] or [[Ring]], if this Relic is obtained it {{ItemIcon|Adaptive Summoning Amulet}} and {{ItemIcon|Tormented Ring}} would be the best options.

===Ranged===

Used for waves: 1,2,7,8

* {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} can be replaced with either {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem}} or {{ItemIcon|Eroding Barrier Gem}} with little impact on Clear Speed.

* {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}} has about 50% faster Clear Times than {{ItemIcon|Dragon Crossbow}}.

* {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}/{{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} has about 250% faster clear times than {{ItemIcon|Dragon Crossbow}}

* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}

===Magic===

Used for waves: 5, 6

* {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} can be replaced with either {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem}} or {{ItemIcon|Eroding Barrier Gem}} with little impact on Clear Speed.

{{MonsterIcon|Merman Guard}} is not that difficult and can be done with [[Melee]] instead, which will be slower but one less combat set to set up.

* Potion: {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}

* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Mastery}} & {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}

==Option 2: Take it slow and grind==

#** Some Imbued Dragonite Bars will be obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}} while grinding out the {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} required for the (B) upgrades, this is however an unreliable way to obtain Imbued Dragonite Bars as it will require 241 clears on average to get enough bars for 1 piece.   

#* It is advised to upgrade [[Terran God Armour]] first, particularly the {{ItemIcon|Terran God Boots (B)|Boots}}, {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platelegs (B)|Platelegs}} and {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody (B)|Platebody}}. The Helm and Gloves will be replaced at a later point with the {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon|Necromancers Palace Summon Set}} and thus have a lower priority to be upgraded at this point.

When going for this option, making the choice to do the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} grinding before {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} can be worth it as you also gain [[God Equipment|(B) God Armour]] from doing this, making the clear speed on Underwater City faster. <br>

Also be sure to use {{ItemIcon|Devouring Barrier Gem}} over {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}}.
