HCCO/Guide/5

To start, you should have: Full (G) Rune Armour, Paladin Gloves, Elite Amulet of Strength, 70 / 80 / 80, Sunset Rapier, Auto Eat - Tier III
At the end, you should have: Full (G) Ancient Armour, Paladin Gloves, Elite Amulet of Defence, 90 / 99 / 90, Dragonfire Shield, Sandstorm Ring

Elite Amulet of Defence from upgrading Amulets of Defence, which are dropped by Purple Goo Monsters, and Silver Diamond Ring, dropped by Mummies, are our best friends for now; the limiting factor for the remaining dungeons is how much DR you have access to.

Now that you've got full Rune (G) Armour and Paladin Gloves for 32% DR, 880 Hitpoints will allow you to idle Volcanic Cave for your first useful cape, the Fire Cape. At this point, you can expect to eat around 30,000 HP worth of food per kill without Prayer.

At this point, you should be using Standard Resupplies for your food needs. If you prefer to fight monsters instead, then Sweaty Monsters for Salmon and Lobster will reduce your overall time spent farming food. Expect to get food equivalent to 10.2 HP/kill in Salmon, 6.25 HP/kill in Lobster, and 2.3 HP/kill in Shark.

Once you have the Fire Cape, you can farm the Sandstorm Ring from Sand Beasts, which will be your best-in-slot Melee DPS ring. You can even use Safeguard if you'd like to farm it sooner, as it will speed up your Volcanic Cave clears.

Hopefully you find the Volcanic Cave comfortable, as the goal is to get the Ancient Platebody, Ancient Platelegs, Ancient Helmet, and Ancient Shield. There are no Ancient Boots and Dragon Boots are unobtainable on HCCO (as is the Dragon Helmet,) so you'll continue rocking your (G) Rune Boots for quite a while. Getting the Dragon Platebody and/or Dragon Platelegs is only useful if you plan to upgrade them to (G), as you still need the extra DR that comes from the (G) upgrade.

Once you get your full Ancient Armour, make another visit to Statues to finish off gathering Gold Bars and Silver Bars and upgrade everything to (G). Luckily the Elite Chests you've been opening also drop plenty of Silver Bars and Gold Bars.

In total, you'll need 6,000 Silver Bars and 10,000 Gold Bars for full (G) Ancient Armour. If you get all the Silver Bars you need, move to Purple Goo Monsters for faster Gold Bars. You can also hold onto the Amulets of Fury for the Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs grind later; you'll need 10 Fury Amulets in total.

After getting the (G) Ancient Shield, there's nothing stopping you from immediately upgrading it again to the Dragonfire Shield, so head to the Green Dragons to get 7,050 Dragon Bones. You can alternatively wait until getting some Ranged levels, as Green Dragons are slightly weaker to Magic and Ranged than to Melee, but at this level, you shouldn't have any trouble, and the 8% DR of the Dragonfire Shield will be very useful as a Magic and Ranged offhand for God dungeons.

Once you have full (G) Ancient Armour and Dragonfire Shield for 43% DR (or 40% with Amulet of Looting and Sandstorm Ring, it's time to grind any remaining melee skills to ideally at least 90 / 99 / 90 while working your way towards Level 70 for your next food upgrade - Trout from Raging Horned Elites or RHE; you can also take advantage of the Gold Emerald Ring from Mummies to speed up stat grinding.

Once you get to this point, you can expect 447.8 HP in food for every kill! Once you start killing Raging Horned Elites, hold onto the Ancient Arrows they drop as they're your best arrows, even though they can't be equipped until Level 70. Additionally, the Large Horns that they drop will likely replace Master Farmers for GP farming, as the GP/hr is about the same (not to mention the food, arrows, and Prayer points you're getting), with a much lower bank demand.
