Impending Darkness Event/Guide: Difference between revisions

{{V|1.2.1}}

This guide is intended to be mobile-friendly as the UI can make switching difficult. Thus, there will be a focus on limiting the amount of switching necessary, from gear to prayers. Using a web browser or PC will help, as you will be able to swap gear much faster, but is not required. Using a PC will allow you to switch prayers, gear, or spells to optimize [[Glossary|DPS]], but these will not be discussed in depth.

This is the most important set and is targeted for {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}. You can use this set for the remaining {{Skill|Slayer}} areas, but it will be helpful to swap to the other sets to optimize your damage output. The important part about this gear set is reaching 100% slayer negation, which may be achieved with the below equipment plus the {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Combat}}. If available, {{TotH}} {{ItemIcon|Explorers Map II}} can be used to allow for alternative equipment choices for either the [[Ring]] or [[Passive Slot]].

The {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} or ({{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}}) is non-negotiable, as fights take place in Slayer areas with an item requirement to enter. Taking the cape off in the middle of combat, for example during the pause before Bane, will cause all of your attacks to miss. In previous versions of the game, this dungeon required 99 in all skills, and therefore you would always have a {{ItemIcon|Maximum Skillcape}} available, since this is no longer the case, it is very possible to do the dungeon with several skills less than 99, however, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} is still very important and should be considered the minimum requirement.

For melee, if the {{ItemIcon|Ultima Godsword}} is equipped, the {{ItemIcon|Shield of Melee Power}} should be equipped in the passive slot. This is not possible for {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} as a Master Slayer piece should be equipped in the the passive slot to reach the 100% slayer negation.

{{AgilityObstacleTable/Combat}}

**{{ItemIcon|Whale}} or similar. You want a food item that heals for a large amount all at once, so that one click heals you for the vast majority of your HP no matter what.

Listed from best (choose it) to worst (avoid it). All modifiers apply to the enemies, not the player. You can start and stop the event when beginning to fish for a decent first modifier. If you receive choices of modifiers or a series of modifiers after a few rounds that are completely awful, you can always restart the event for better RNG.

*Wear the Dark Waters 40% negation sets outlined above (ie. as much DPS gear as possible excluding {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer Hats}}, if you choose the "Slayer Area Effects are 5% Stronger" Modifier, wear a {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} in the Passive Slot. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage.

*No additional Area Negation is required anymore, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} is enough to sufficiently cover the accuracy loss and the enemies aren't difficult enough to warrant full negation. Swap each set for combat triangle advantage, or don't, these enemies aren't difficult.
