{{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} is largely the best {{Icon|melee weapon that does not require you to clear late-game content.
{{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} is largely the best melee weapon that does not require late-game content to obtain.


The question is ''when'' to farm it and ''what'' combat style is the best for it.
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 Pegasi on average to get enough fragments.


To answer these question, we will consider three following builds:
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:  
* starter {{ItemIcon|Fire Expert Wizard Hat|runecrafting}} magic,
* after-{{ZoneIcon|Deep Sea Ship|Ship}} melee,
* after-{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave|Volcanic}} magic,
* after-{{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 the considered situations, no prayers, potions, or other buffs are enabled unless specified. <br>
The skill levels are given so you can replicate the simulations in the [[Combat Simulator]]. <br>
The Auto Eat level is {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}}. <br>
The {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}} is used as a food of choice.
 
The ring slot is always occupied with {{ItemIcon|Magical Ring}}. If you can put something else in your ring slot and get into {{ZoneIcon|High Lands}}, chances are you don't need a guide.
 
Below is the starter {{ItemIcon|Fire Expert Wizard Hat|runecrafting}} build.

{{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} is used with Combination Runes. All skills are at level 75.
 
The [[Combat Simulator|simulation]] results are:
* 1335 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient runes}} spent,
* 134 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|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.
