===Introduction===
{{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 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:
* 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 the {{ZoneIcon|High Lands}}, chances are you don't need a guide.

{{Icon|Fire Surge|type=spell}} is used with Combination Runes. All skills are at level 75.
 
The [[Combat Simulator|simulation]] results are:
* 1358 {{ItemIcon|Ancient Rune|Ancient runes}} spent,
* 151.9 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|whales}} per hour,
* 23 Pegasi per hour.
 
<math>T_c = 151.9 * 18.875 = 2867</math>
 
<math>T_m = (N * 7 * (1 + 2/16 + 2/16) / 16 + N / 16) * 1.3 = N / 16 * (8.75 + 1) * 1.3 = N * 12.675 / 16</math>
 
<math>T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8</math>
 
<math>N = 1358</math>
 
<math>T_m = 1358 * 12.675 / 16 = 1076</math>
 
<math>T_r = 1358 * 9.75 / 8 = 1655</math>
 
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.
 
The simulation results are:
* 33.2 {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|whales}} per hour,
* 26.57 Pegasi per hour.
 
<math>T_c = 33.2 * 18.875 = 626.7</math>


The adjusted time <math>A_{ship} = (3600 + 626.7) / 26.57 = 159.08</math>
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 overall time is <math>159.08 * 3333 / 3600 = 148 \text{ hours}.</math>
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.


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]].


===After-Volcanic magic===
===Builds===
Each build assumes the following:
* The ring slot is always occupied with {{ItemIcon|Magical Ring}}.
* {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} is used.
* {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)}} is used as the [[Food]] of choice because it is considered a middle ground between starting out and being fully levelled in {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Fishing}}, {{Skill|Farming}}, and {{Skill|Cooking}}.
* The character is on the {{Icon|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.

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}}


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.


===After-Glacia magic===
'''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.

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 Magic higher than lvl 91, you might get a better build while still having the required 20k accuracy.

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.
