Introduction
Ancient Claw is a melee weapon that does not require late-basegame content to obtain. It is also a component for Infernal Claw.
The Ancient Claw is assembled from the fragments that drop only from Pegasus. On average, 3,333 Pegasi kills are required in order to obtain enough fragments.
The question is when to farm it and what combat style is the best for that. The main point of contention is whether to farm it before or after the Volcanic Cave, as this dungeon is farmed with a Melee build and is vital for idling the Air God Dungeon.
To answer these questions, the following builds will be considered:
- Wave magic,
- Rapier melee,
- Slicing Winds magic,
- Glacia magic.
These builds were chosen to show the changes that the various drops bring into farming Pegasus. Ranged builds were not considered because the Pegasus is Melee and has the highest evasion against Ranged in addition to the Combat Triangle.
Builds
Each build assumes the following:
- The ring slot is always occupied with Magical Ring.
- Auto Eat - Tier III is used.

- The character is on the Hardcore game mode with all Combat skills at level 60. This means all builds presented here are suitable regardless of the game mode being played.
Skill levels are given so that these simulations may be replicated using the Combat Simulator add-in.
