Ancient Claw is largely the best melee weapon that does not require late-game content to obtain.

The Ancient Claw is assembled from the fragments that drop only from the Pegasus. You need to kill 3333 Pegasi on average to get enough fragments.

The question is then when to farm it and what combat style is the best for it.

To answer these question, we will consider the following builds:

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 Pegasus is Melee and has the highest evasion against Ranged.

In the considered situations, no prayers, potions, or other buffs are enabled unless specified.
The skill levels are given so you can replicate the simulations in the Combat Simulator.
The Auto Eat level is Auto Eat - Tier III.
The Whale (Perfect) is used as a food of choice.

The ring slot is always occupied with Magical Ring. If you can put something else in your ring slot and get into High Lands, chances are you don't need a guide.

Below is the starter runecrafting build.

Fire Expert Wizard Robes 5%
Fire Expert Wizard Bottoms 5%
Fire Expert Wizard Boots 5%
Miolite Shield 2%
Enchanted Cape 0%
Amulet of Magic 0%
Paladin Gloves 4%
Magic Wand (Powerful) 0%
Total 26%

Fire Surge is used with Combination Runes. All skills are at level 75.

The simulation results are:

  • 1335 Ancient runes spent,
  • 134 whales per hour,
  • 43.7 Pegasi per hour, meaning 1.311 fragments per hour on average, meaning the whole grind would take 100/1.311 = 76.3 hours plus the time to prepare food and runes.
