-[[Old Summoning Amulet]] and [[Lesser Summoning Amulet]] are your two best choices for amulets. Sim against each other. Old Summoning Amulet requires high arch but there's no reason to not get Lesser Summoning Amulet.
+{{RequiresAoD}}
-Ancient (B) is your best option for helm, body, and legs. For boots upgrade anything that looks good up to (B). [[Barrier Exalted Shard]]s first drop in Trickery Temple. You can get away with not having (B) gear until then, but if your stats are low farm out lower level gear (B).
+''This guide is a WIP and may not be accurate nor complete!''
-For gloves pick your highest accuracy boosting piece, as summoning accuracy is based on your accuracy rating.
+The following guide takes the player through the combat of the [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]] with as little effort as possible. This guide is targeted at people who have either completed or nearly completed the base game.
-[[Summoner's Blessed Ring]] is usually the best ring option, sim this against your usual ring choices.
+Every enemy in this expansion has a [[Barrier]] health bar as well as a regular health bar. Enemies cannot be damaged in anyway until the barrier is entirely removed. '''Only familiars are able to damage the barrier.'''
-For Gem pick your best % damage summoning gem, these all drop from AoD dungeons except very early gems that you can safely skip.
+Two-handed weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for [[damage reduction]] or the alternative simply does more damage. This is because the [[familiar]]'s hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance.
-[[Ancient Infernal Cape]] is your best cape slot pick unless you have relevant skill capes. Run [[Cape of Prat]] if using ranged and don't need the DR. Ancient Fire Cape or [[Skull Cape]] if Infernal is not cleared.
+Since the combat portion is heavily focused on using familiars the following requirements are a prerequisite:
+* {{SkillReq|Summoning|90}}
+* Tortoise Dragon Synergy
-I ran [[Summoner's Defender]] until [[Underwater City]], your stats might require a shield though. [[Dragonfire Shield]] is your best defensive option, [[Book of Occults]] for offense but probably not worth farming out (it might outperform defender? Needs simming). Otherwise use a defender(knight's, crystal, pure crystal) for melee, [[Scaled Shield]] is best for Ranged offensive option, [[Blessed Shield]] or [[Magicburn Shield]] for Magic offense.
+The minimal and recommended requirements for every individual section is listed within the sections below.
-For weapons use your best 1h with a shield option above. The accuracy bonus from 2 handers is usually very good for downing barriers if you don't have any of the shield options above. The familiar weapons are usually bad.
+==Preparing for combat==
+* Collecting barrier gems -> Archeology
+* Making summons -> Recommend necro robes and summon setup
-For summons use the highest max hit available to you until you can reasonably craft [[Tortoise]]. [[Tortoise]]/[[Dragon]] is very strong. If you don't have access to Dragon, browse the Tortoise synergies for one that works for you.
+==Entry barrier equipment==
+(Gear doesn't matter much at this point, prefer melee because it doesn't use resources)
+Get barrier touch gem from ghosts
+Get Lesser Summoning Amulet from ghosts
+Make ring of barrier touch
+Get sapping barrier gem from vampiric bat
+Get Barrier Sapping Gloves from vampiric bat
+==Golem Territory==
+===Requirements===
+Ancient Stone Tablet
+Required for Draining Barrier Gem to upgrade barrier sapping gloves; Get 10 gems.
+Can still be done without (B) gear. Combat style doesn't matter much, assuming high stats.
+'''Do not use familiar weapons, they are bad'''
+==Getting Barrier Gear==
+===Requirements===
+Find  Lost Cursed Text
+Complete  Trickery Temple
+Find  Torn Scrolls
+Complete  Unholy Forest
+Find  Old Route Chart
+Complete  Golem Territory
