{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is usually done with melee gear, as it is very easy to fill out the required DR via smithing. A full gold-trimmed set of {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet|dragon}} armor provides 30% DR, as shown in the below table. Level 99 {{Skill|smithing}} is required to trim a full set.

For gloves:
 
* You will need to either get the {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}} (4% DR) dropped by the {{Icon|Paladin|type=monster}} in the {{ZoneIcon|Holy Isles}} Slayer area, or one of the dhide vambraces. /).
* The variants that are equivalent to or better than the {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}} are {{ItemIcon|(U) Red D-hide Vambraces}} (4% DR), {{ItemIcon|(U) Black D-hide Vambraces}} (5% DR), and {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces}} (6% DR). Ancient Dhide Vambraces are dropped by the {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} dungeon and upgraded using {{ItemIcon|Elder Dragonhide}}. The others are dropped by the {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}} dungeon or crafted using the {{Skill|Crafting}} skill.
 
For capes:
 
* You will need either the {{ItemIcon|Knight's Cape}} (1% DR) from thieving the {{Icon|Knight|type=thieving}} or {{Icon|Squire|type=thieving}}, or the {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}} if you absolutely need the extra DR ((3% DR) Not recommended for Melee or Ranged, it reduces your attack bonuses by a significant amount). If you do not need the extra 1% DR provided by the Knight's Cape, you may use any {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape|Skillcape}} (if you have one), or the {{ItemIcon|Obsidian Cape}} dropped by {{Icon|Adamant Knight|type=monster}}s.
* Note: Once you clear Volcano once, swap your cape to the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}}! It provides 2% DR and has better stats than the noncombat skillcapes.
 
For boots:
 
* Pretty straightforward, the boots you will most likely use are the {{ItemIcon|(G) Dragon Boots}}, as these provide 6% DR and decent offensive bonuses. If you do not have the {{Skill|smithing}} level (94) to craft these, you can use the {{ItemIcon|Rune Boots}} that are dropped by the {{Icon|Rune Knight|type=monster}} and upgrade those to {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} for 5% DR.
 
For jewelry:
 
* You can use the {{ItemIcon|Silver Diamond Ring}} (1% DR) if you need the extra DR, and the {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Defence}} that was listed above. If you do not need the 1% DR from the Silver Diamond Ring, you can use the {{ItemIcon|Gold Sapphire Ring}} to add reflect damage in order to clear the Volcano faster.
* If you do not have the Elite Defense Amulet, the {{ItemIcon|Gold Sapphire Necklace}} provides 1% DR if you are facing Ranged with Melee, and the same is true for other sides of the combat triangle using the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Necklace}} (Ranged v Magic) and the {{ItemIcon|Gold Diamond Necklace}} (Magic v Melee).
 
Once you clear Volcanic Cave 100 times, you will unlock the basic tier of Ancient Magic - {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}}, {{Icon|Icicle Volley|type=spell}}, and {{Icon|Ignite|type=spell}}. Of these, as of patch 0.23, Icicle Barrage is by far the strongest. Ancient Magic is way better than what basic magic can give you at your current level, but it is not affected by damage amplification in any way (Except for the combat triangle). No curses, no debuffs, no gear buffs.
