This setup can idle the whole dungeon up until the boss with no issues. We choose to use {{Skill|Ranged}} as the combat penalty for using the incorrect style is the lowest with {{Skill|Ranged}}, making it the best style for fighting a variety of monsters. Since the boss, {{MonsterIcon|Spider Queen}}, has a 33% chance of spawning as {{Skill|Magic}} based, there is a 1/3 chance you will be able to idle this boss with the above setup (note that using anything other than the BiS setup will result in drastically reduced kills/hr due to compounding effect of low DPS vs healing monsters). If she spawns as {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} or even {{Skill|Ranged}}, she will kill you if you are idle. If you are paying attention you can easily eat or switch gear setups to obtain the corresponding triangle bonus, but if you are idling then you will simply die and have to re-attempt the dungeon. Each clear takes on average about 12-15 minutes, so check back after that period to see if you were successful with your attempt. It is also worth noting that while {{ItemIcon|Shield of Ranged Power}} is faster for clearing trash mobs leading up to the boss, {{ItemIcon|Gauntlets of Rage}} are better in the prolonged fight with the boss.
