It is not really worth grinding for any of these, just use whatever you have access to already. {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}} don't have any negative bonuses so they are worth using to save on a bit of food. An {{ItemIcon|Elite Amulet of Ranged}} is extremely good, as it offers more bonuses than an entire set of green dragonhide.

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'hdie costs 630k. These only offer a small amount of accuracy and DR, but since we won't be doing any bossing in this gear, the upgrades are not necessary and can be skipped.

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.
