Immediate Upgrades
Before completing the first Post-Impending Darkness dungeon, some immediate upgrades can be obtained without doing combat.
- Melee
- If possible, armour created from smithing should be made. However, this is not of high priority.
- Note that the armour needs to be trimmed to provide damage reduction.
- The
Divine Sword is useful, but not immediately. - If it hasn't been obtained already, the

Archaic Magick
- The
Runestones needed to create the robes are obtained from either fishing 
Lost Chests or from mining 
Pure Essence.
- The
Ocean Song is a good enough weapon for now, but the wands from Runecrafting are an immediate upgrade. This becomes especially noticeable once Poison Pods is unlocked, where you can take advantage of the decreased rune usage from any of the 3 post-99 runecrafting wands. These all have higher damage bonuses over Ocean Song too.
