{{MonsterIcon|Ragnar}} is completely optional for game progression, as {{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Platebody|Ragnar God Armour|nolink=true}} actually has LESS damage reduction than {{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody|Terran God Armour|nolink=true}}, though it has much higher Strength and melee attack bonuses. In addition, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)}} and {{ItemIcon|Slayer Platebody (Master)}} are arguably better for late game grinds, as well as being deterministic to obtain. Elite slayer gear is also utilised heavily before master.

It is easy to manual clear, as long as the player has equipment set swapping unlocked. The second-to-last enemy, , has a 52% DR requirement when using melee and the final boss {{MonsterIcon|Ragnar}} has a 56% DR requirement when using Ranged.
It is easy to manual clear {{ZoneIcon|Fire God Dungeon}}, as long as the player has {{UpgradeIcon|Dungeon Equipment Swapping}} unlocked. The second-to-last enemy, {{MonsterIcon|Ignis}}, has a 52% DR requirement when using melee and the final boss, {{MonsterIcon|Ragnar}}, has a 56% DR requirement when using Ranged. However, if one wishes to idle the whole dungeon then a {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring}} and either {{ItemIcon|Guardian Ring}} or {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} is required as a HCCO. It may be beneficial to delay farming this item until after unlocking the passive slot to help mitigate food wastage. Otherwise, grab some {{ItemIcon|Climbing Boots}} or a {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}, head over to the {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} and kill some {{MonsterIcon|Wicked Greater Dragon|Wicked Greater Dragons}}. While you're there, you might as well stock up on {{ItemIcon|Jadestone Bolts}} from {{MonsterIcon|Hunting Greater Dragon|Hunting Greater Dragons}}, if you have the food to spare. While they're the best bolts in the game, the food necessary to grind them out in any notable amount may dissuade you from changing away from {{ItemIcon|Topaz Bolts}} or {{ItemIcon|Sapphire Bolts}} from {{Skill|Slayer}} resupplies. You will need a {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} eventually, so picking one up won't be a waste of time.

Range is your best option for the {{ZoneIcon|Fire God Dungeon}} due to the 1300 Magic max hit of the final boss, {{MonsterIcon|Ragnar}}. Even once you have your {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring|nolink=true}} equipped, you'll need 63% DR to idle {{ZoneIcon|Fire God Dungeon|nolink=true}}, which at this point, can only be done with the {{ItemIcon|Guardian Amulet}} or the {{PetIcon|Erran}} pet from {{ZoneIcon|Earth God Dungeon}} plus {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}} and otherwise full tank gear. We only have access to 66% total DR from {{Skill|Ranged}} until after {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}. Full {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Platebody|Aeris|nolink=true}}, {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}}, {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}}, and {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} will only get you to 60% DR.

If you aren't after full collection log completion and just want to speed your way to {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} and T90 weapon farming, then pick up enough pieces of {{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Platebody|Ragnar Armour|nolink=true}} to replace any remaining ancient armour. Between Terran and Ragnar, you should have a piece of T85 armour for each slot, with possibly the body and/or the helmet slots missing as these can be filled with Elite and Master slayer gear down the line.

The {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} is the most useful Godsword, as it is the second best weapon for farming elite slayer tasks behind {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}. The slow attack speed of Godswords reduces the prayer used per hour in half, which can be further coupled with a {{ItemIcon|Skillcape Prayer}}. The other Godswords are viable, but aren't much better than {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}} or {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}}. {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}} is wholly useless. {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} is still useful as it can actually be better than {{ItemIcon|Fighter Ring}} in a few situations, especially against high defence enemies. However, after {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} is obtained, {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} is a DPS loss in every situation and should be completely swapped out for {{ItemIcon|Fighter's Ring}}, {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} or even {{ItemIcon|Guardian Ring}}.
The {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} is the most useful Godsword, as it is the second best weapon for farming elite slayer tasks behind {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}. The slow attack speed of Godswords reduces the prayer used per hour by about half, which can be further coupled with a {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} down to around 6-7k/hr. The other Godswords are viable, but only {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} is better than {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} in terms of slayer coins/hr. All four Godswords are, however, better than {{ItemIcon|Darksteel Dagger}}, so if you have opted to skip the {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} grind, then any of the four will be useful to you. {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}} is wholly useless. {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} is still useful as it can actually be better than {{ItemIcon|Fighter Ring}} in a few situations, specifically against high defence enemies. However, due to the 100% accurate special attack of {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}, {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} eventually becomes a DPS loss in every situation and should be completely swapped out for {{ItemIcon|Fighter Ring}}, {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} or even {{ItemIcon|Guardian Ring}}.


The stun effect of the {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} is one of the strongest combinations with {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}}, and so it is borderline required to unlock the full potential of that weapon. This can be farmed later after the passive slot and {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}.
The stun effect of the {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} is one of the strongest combinations with {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} as the first hit of its special attack reliably activates the stun effect while the second hit enjoys a +30% damage increase due to the enemy being stunned. The amulet is borderline required to unlock the full potential of the weapon. This can be farmed later after the passive slot and {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}, as it is a considerable grind.
