From 40 onwards, the gear you will use will be a mismatch of dragonhide armour. Use whatever hides you obtained from the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}} and {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} grind from earlier. It is not worth going out of your way to obtain any singular piece of dragonhide, as it only offers accuracy with no strength bonus, and your accuracy will quickly become saturated on the enemies you train ranged on. Using {{ItemIcon|Green D-hide Vambraces}} at {{Skill|Ranged|70}} for instance is perfectly acceptable. Green, blue and red dragonhide armour can also be easily upgraded in exchange for GP. Green d'hide costs 60k to fully upgrade, blue d'hide costs 225k and red d'hide costs 630k. These only offer a small amount of accuracy and DR, but this will come in handy for monsters such as {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard|Master Wizards}} and the likes, so it may be worth it.

You will need to farm {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} for the almighty {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}} for {{Skill|Ranged|80+}} at some point before progressing. Again, as this dungeon doesn't rely on {{Skill|Ranged}}, this could technically be performed before commencing training. The singular goal of this dungeon is the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}} as this is an incredible weapon for the two {{Skill|Ranged}} God dungeons, as well as in {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, however it is worth noting that all of the other items still have uses. {{ItemIcon|Twin Exiles}} are the best item in the game for farming low level mobs with low max HP so it is worth keeping for rune grinding and completionist farming purposes. Any elder dragonhide armour obtained here can be worn as an upgrade, but it is not necessary to grind for any piece. Use any leftover {{ItemIcon|Elder Dragonhide}} to upgrade elder dragonhide pieces before selling it all off to unlock some free collection log slots.

Again, as this dungeon doesn't rely on {{Skill|Ranged}}, this could technically be performed before commencing training. The goals of this dungeon are to obtain the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Shield}}, the latter of which will be upgraded to a {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}} which is a huge DPS increase for {{Skill|Ranged}} and even for {{Skill|Magic}} in many situations. The shield can technically be substituted with a {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} or {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}} for meeting raw DR requirements, but the damage sacrificed will be noticeable so obtaining a {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}} is recommended. The crossbow is an incredible weapon for the two {{Skill|Ranged}} God dungeons, as well as in {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, however it is worth noting that all of the other items still have uses.  
 
{{ItemIcon|Twin Exiles}} is the next most sought after item, as they are the best item in the game for farming low level mobs with low max HP. It is worth keeping for future rune grinding and completionist farming purposes. Any {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Body|nolink=true|Ancient Dragonhide Armour}} obtained here can be worn as an upgrade, but it is not necessary to grind for any pieces. Use any leftover {{ItemIcon|Elder Dragonhide}} to upgrade elder dragonhide pieces before selling it all off to unlock some free collection log slots.
