TL;DR - Jump to the Conclusion part if you just want the result.
{{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} is a melee weapon that does not require late-basegame content to obtain. It is also a component for {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}.


{{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} is largely the best melee weapon that does not require late-game content to obtain.
The Ancient Claw is assembled from the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw Fragment|fragments}} that drop only from {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus}}. On average, {{formatnum:3333}} {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus|Pegasi}} kills are required in order to obtain enough fragments.


The Ancient Claw is assembled from the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw Fragment|fragments}} that drop only from the {{Icon|Pegasus|type=monster}}. You need to kill 3333 {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus|Pegasi}} on average to get 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 {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, as this dungeon is farmed with a {{Icon|Melee}} build and is vital for idling the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}.


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 {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} because this dungeon is farmed with a Melee build and is vital for idling the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}.
To answer these questions, the following builds will be considered:
* {{Icon|Fire Wave|type=spell|Wave}} magic,
* {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|Rapier}} melee,
* {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} magic,
* {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Helmet|Glacia}} magic.


To answer these questions, we will consider the following builds:
These builds were chosen to show the changes that the various drops bring into farming Pegasus. {{Skill|Ranged}} builds were not considered because the {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus}} is {{Icon|Melee}} and has the highest evasion against Ranged in addition to the [[Combat Triangle]].
* Starter {{ItemIcon|Fire Expert Wizard Hat|runecrafting}} magic,
* Post-{{ZoneIcon|Deep Sea Ship|Ship}} melee,
* Post-{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|Volcano}} magic,
* Post-{{ZoneIcon|Water God Dungeon|Glacia}} magic.
 
These builds were chosen to show the changes that the various drops bring into farming the Pegasus. The ranged builds were not considered because the {{Icon|Pegasus|type=monster}} is {{Icon|Melee}} and has the highest evasion against {{Skill|Ranged}} in addition to the [[Combat Triangle]].
 
In the considered situations, no prayers, potions, or other buffs are enabled unless specified. <br>
The skill levels are given so that you can replicate the simulations in the [[Combat Simulator]]. <br>
The {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} is used. <br>
The {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}} is used as a food of choice.
 
The ring slot is always occupied with {{ItemIcon|Magical Ring}}.

{{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} is used with Combination Runes. All skills are at level 75.
 
The [[Combat Simulator|simulation]] results are:

The adjusted time <math>A_{start} = T_{all} / D_h = (3600 + 2867 + 1076 + 1655) / 23 = 400</math>
 
In other words, the time that is required to get all resources for killing one Pegasus and to actually kill it is 400 seconds.
 
The overall time to get all resources and kill all Pegasi is <math>400 * 3333 / 3600 = 371 \text{ hours}.</math>

All skills are at level 75 except {{SkillReq|Magic|91}}. With the following setup, you should have exactly 20k accuracy on {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}}, they cannot miss now.
 
The simulation results with {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli|Eli}} are:
* 4905 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient runes}} spent,
* 107.9 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|whales}} per hour,
* 196.2 Pegasi per hour.

<math>N = 4905</math>
 
<math>T_m = 4905 * 27.3 / 16 = 8370</math>
 
<math>T_r = 4905 * 21 / 8 = 12876</math>
 
The adjusted time <math>A_{volcano} = T_{all} / D_h = (3600 + 2037 + 8370 + 12876) / 196.2 = 137</math>
 
The overall time is <math>137 * 3333 / 3600 = 127 \text{ hours}.</math>
 
 
 
If you swap {{ItemIcon|Miolite Shield}} to {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}}, it will only increase the clear time because your melee defence would plummet, resulting in many more Whales eaten.
 
The simulation results with {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli|Eli}} are:
* 4905 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient runes}} spent,
* 172.4 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|whales}} per hour,
* 196.2 Pegasi per hour.
 
<math>T_c = 172.4 * 18.875 = 3254</math>
 
<math>T_m = 8370</math>. <math>T_r = 12876</math>
 
The adjusted time <math>A_{eli} = T_{all} / D_h = (3600 + 3254 + 8370 + 12876) / 196.2 = 143.2</math>
 
The overall time is <math>143.2 * 3333 / 3600 = 133 \text{ hours}.</math>
 
Overall, you want to put as much DR and Melee defence as possible when maintaining the 20k accuracy. For instance, if you have {{SkillReq|Magic|93}} with the build above, you can swap {{ItemIcon|Enchanted Cape}} with {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} and reduce the food consumption even further.
 
As you see, the rune mining and crafting take the bulk of the time, so you might want to use all preservation and doubling bonuses that you have.

The levels are the same as in the Volcanic build. Due to Ancient Magic not benefiting from gear, the build was aimed to cram as much DR and melee evasion as possible. If you have {{SkillReq|Magic|95}}, you should be able to swap for {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Defence}} while still having the required 20k accuracy.
 
The simulation results are:
* 4905 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient runes}} spent,
* 47.7 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|whales}} per hour,

The overall time is <math>131.2 * 3333 / 3600 = 121.5 \text{ hours}.</math>
 
 
 
==Analysis==
Essentially, we want to know which of two sequences is faster:
* Rapier > Claw > Volcano,
* Rapier > Volcano > Claw.
 
====Full-Sunset Volcano vs Full-Claw Volcano====
Let's consider the post-Ship and post-Glacia builds.
 
The difference between their timings of completing the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} is 27 hours.
 
The Volcano grind of the full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set is longer with the with {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} than it is with the Claw.
 
The question is then if the difference between the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|rapier}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw|claw}} in the Volcanic grind is bigger than 27 hours.
 
We know the length of "Raper > Claw" and "Volcano > Claw" through the info of post-Ship and post-Glacia builds, but we need the data on "Rapier > Volcano" and "Claw > Volcano".


We take this data from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#Weapon choice]].
Skill levels are given so that these simulations may be replicated using the [[Combat Simulator]] add-in.

The goal of clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is to get the {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set.

As specified on in the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide]], you need 1350 clears to almost certainly get a full set of Ancient armor or 832 clears to have a 75% chance. The median (50% or results) is 564 clears.

The average time to obtain all {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw Fragment|Ancient Claw Fragments|qty=100}} with this build is approximately 30 hours. However, note that without Slayer gear this increases to 33 hours.

As you see from the Difference row, even the 50% chance still gives the 4-hour advantage if you get the Claw before the Volcanic Cave.

Combat stats around level 70.

Therefore, if you farm the Volcanic Cave completely with the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} and then farm the Claw with Glacia, the sum of the Volcanic and Claw farm will be larger than if you were to farm the Claw with the Rapier and then doing the Volcanic Cave. And we didn't even consider the time loss of doing the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} with the Rapier instead of the Claw.

However, what if we were to use the [[Ancient Magicks]] as soon as we unlock it?
The grind time with this build is approximately 24 hours. Without Slayer gear, this time increases significantly to 26 hours.

====Sunset/Ancient Volcano vs Claw/Ancient Volcano====
Spell: {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} <br>
It is possible to clear the Volcano using the Ancient Magicks with the build from [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic]]. Pay attention that you need 37% DR with {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=920|HP}} to idle it. That amount of DR is reached either through the {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} prayer or through the {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion II|DR potion II}}.
Aurora: {{Icon|Surge II|type=aurora}} <br>
Prayers: {{Icon|Mystic Might|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Mystic Mastery|type=prayer}}<br>
Point of Interest: {{POIIcon|The Academia Arcanum}}


If we consider that we clear only 100 Volcanoes as a melee build and the rest as the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic|100-Volcanoes]] Magic build, then we compare the two sequences:
Reaching at least 20,000 accuracy is key for this build, as this prevents {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} from missing. Therefore, while the build only requires a minimum of {{SkillReq|Magic|72}}, and at most {{SkillReq|Magic|93}} or multiple accuracy bonuses from sources such as:
* {{ItemIcon|Magic Assistance Potion|Magic Assistance Potions}}
* {{Skill|Astrology}}
* {{Skill|Prayer}}
* {{Skill|Agility}}


* Claw farm with Rapier + 100 Claw Volcanoes,
Worth noting that using a {{ItemIcon|Mystic Air Staff}} will ''drastically'' reduce the amount of runes spent - especially while using Surge Auroras. The staff will be slower, and will require more [[Food]] due to the player taking a greater number of hits.
* 100 Rapier Volcanoes + Claw farm with Ancient Magicks.


{| class="wikitable"
'''Warning:''' Swapping {{ItemIcon|Miolite Shield}} for {{ItemIcon|Book of Eli}} will not significantly reduce kill times, while also forcing you to spend more runes and therefore more time Runecrafting.

In other words, the advantage of farming 100 Volcanic Caves with the Claw when compared to the Sunset Rapier is less than 5 hours.
The grind time with this build is approximately 11 hours. Slayer equipment has no impact on the clear speed in this case.

and then subtract the second row from the first one, then we would get
Summons: {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and {{ItemIcon|Witch}} Increase the kills per hour by about 1, shortening your grind by 20 minutes if you have {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} unlocked.


<math>27 - 4.87 = 22.13</math>
The grind time with this build is approximately 5.5 hours.


In other words the sequence where we farm the Claw after the Volcano is faster than the sequence of farming the claw with Rapier by 22 hours.
However, this build implies that the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}} would need to be cleared with {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}}.


== Conclusion ==
If you have the means to replicate the [[Volcanic Cave/Guide#100-Volcanoes Magic|Ancient Magicks]] build then get everything you need from the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} with it and farm the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} with it.


If you are not going to use the Ancient Magick build to clear the rest of needed Volcanoes, then it might be a good idea to farm the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} with the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} and clear the Volcano with the Claw.

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:

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.

Worth noting that using a Mystic Air Staff will drastically reduce the amount of runes spent - especially while using Surge Auroras. The staff will be slower, and will require more Food due to the player taking a greater number of hits.

Warning: Swapping Miolite Shield for Book of Eli will not significantly reduce kill times, while also forcing you to spend more runes and therefore more time Runecrafting.
