Why Clear Water God Dungeon?
There are a lot of reasons to clear this dungeon:
Expanded Knowledge - unlocks upgrade that greatly speeds up 
Runecrafting and 
Herblore.- Glacia God Armour - gives one of the strongest magic builds, and is required to idle
Earth God Dungeon. Also, provides 
Burning Madness Gloves when up upgrade 10 
Glacia God Gloves. 
Cloudburst Staff - one of the strongest magic DPS weapons in the game.
Warlock Amulet - reduces overall food expenditure.
Warlock Ring - provides a strong damage boost, and allows access to the 
Burning Madness Ring.
Glacia Godsword - can be upgraded into the 
Ultima Godsword.
Drop-rates from this dungeon1:
- Full Armour set: will need 91 clears for a 75% chance, or 192 clears for a 95% chance.
- Cloudburst Staff: will need 277 clears for a 75% chance, and 576 clears for a 95% chance.
Notes:

You can expect a clear time of 9 minutes with this setup. 
Agility and 
Astrology will greatly increase your clear speeds.
Check your own setup with Can I Idle or Combat Simulator to see if you meet the 
HP requirements. If you're following this setup exactly, you'll need Level 86 to idle.
Ring of Wealth or 
Aorpheat's Signet Ring are preferred for the chance of double loot, but you can use 
Silver Diamond Ring for 1% DR if necessary.
If you have 
FEZ then use it, but it's not mandatory to have it.
Because later monsters in the dungeon are quite evasive, Ancient Crossbow boosts the clear time by a significant amount because it lowers the enemy's evasion until the end of the fight.
Scaled Shield is important because the poison damages in percentage, meaning that 
Glacia will suffer. A lot.
With Scaled Shield, you will clear the dungeon at least 10% faster when compared to its unupgraded version, 
(U) Ancient D-hide Shield.
Use 
Emerald Bolts to save your 
Diamonds for 
Diamond Luck Potion IV.
Late-game Idle builds
 |
The remainder of this guide assumes main game only, and does not consider any of the  late-game armour and weapons that are available.
|
The rest of this guide is intended for use after 100+ clears using the build shown above. The goal of this section of the guide is to maximize scrolls and to help farm for any missing items. It is assumed that you are level 99 in all skills with access to all of the weapons and items in the main game, and access to all DR and HP pets. This assumes you are (unless otherwise noted) using a Agility setup optimized for combat, are using your best prayers, your best summoning synergy, and are using Diamond Luck Potions.
Ranged
This build farms around 17 to 18 scrolls/hour, depending on your Astrology bonuses. The 
Cape of Prat is marginally faster at clearing dungeons than the 
Maximum Skillcape, but it will also doubles your ammo consumption.

Rigour

| Aeris God Platelegs | 8% |

| Aeris God Gloves | 8% |

|  Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs | 3% |
| Ring of Wealth | 0% |
|  Agile Gem | 0% |
|  Shockwave | 0% |
|  Shield of Ranged Power | 9% |
 |  Chapeau Noir | 0% |
| Ranged Hinder Scroll | 0% |
| Centaur  Dragon | 0% |
| Total | 48% | |
Magic
This build uses 
Fire Surge, 
Anguish III, and 
Surge II.
This build farms around 19 to 20 scrolls/hour, depending on your Astrology bonuses. To use this method, you need to have 1090 HP and 57% DR. This is achieved by using Rocky Waters instead of Lake Swim.
The overall time for this build is likely to take longer than setting up ranged because of how many runes you will need. This build relies on the 
Shield of Magic Power to survive, and also keep a high dps. Overall, it is less effective than the ranged counterpart, and might lower the number of scrolls/hour as a result.

Augury - Fire Surge, Anguish III, and Surge II

Ancient Relics Guides
On top of no Pets, Astrology or Potions this guide will also assume no Relics.
Much like any other dungeon up to now, Manual Eating will be required.
For this dungeon. Watch out for Glacias Frigid Wave attack. It hits 3 times for quite heavy damage.
Melee
Even though this is technically possible, it will require a whole lot of farming.
To be able to do it with melee you will need Level 80 (or Level 70 and 
Finn, the Cat) as well as farm enough 
Food Box I from lower dungeons to obtain enough 
Swordfish for Raft Building.
This dungeon will take roughly 30 minutes to clear with Melee and use approximately 1500 
Lobster per clear.
In short, it is highly discouraged to use Melee to attempt 
Water God Dungeon.

Ranged
Ranged is highly recommended as it takes the most advantage of the Combat Triangle.
The minimum recommended set is (U) Red D-hide Equipment. (U) Black D-hide Equipment uses around 70 less Lobster per clear.
The clear time for this Dungeon is about 20 minutes.
And will use roughly 630-700 Lobster.
Ancient Crossbow shortens this clear time by roughly 4 minutes.
The 
Ice Armour can be swapped for 
Adamant Armour or 
Rune Armour with little to no impact on the clear speed.
It will slightly lower the Food used.
Red D-hide Equipment and Black D-hide Equipment can be obtained from 
Spider Forest.
Dragon Crossbow can be obtained from 
Thieving target 
Marauder requiring Level 21.
- Prayers: Eagle Eye & Sharp Vision
Magic
Magic is also highly discouraged as a clear would take about 40 minutes and use roughly 1400 Lobster.
- This will require the Level 85 Skill cap to be unlocked.
- Spell:
Earth Surge - Curse: Anguish III
- Aurora:
Fury II (Optional) - Prayers:
Mystic Lore & 
Mystic Might
