| The guide is written with the goal of idling the dungeon. If you want to do it manually, the requirements are much more relaxed, although the more DR you have, the easier it is to do anyway.
| |
|
| |
| ===Why clear Volcanic Cave?===
| |
|
| |
| On each clear, you get the {{ItemIcon|Fire Cape}} that gives 2% DR.
| |
|
| |
| {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is the place where you gear up in preparation for the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}. According to the [https://github.com/vbion/melvor-monte-carlo/blob/main/drop-probability-calculator.py simulation], it takes 820 clears to get the full {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Helmet|ancient}} set with 75% probability and 1350 clears to get it with 95% probability.
| |
|
| |
| It is also a place to farm {{Icon|Amulet of Fury|qty=10|type=item|Amulets of Fury}} for {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs|FEZ}}. Check the [[Fury_of_the_Elemental_Zodiacs/Guide|FEZ/Guide]] to see if it's the best option for you.
| |
|
| |
| After you clear the Volcanic Cave 100 times, you will unlock Ancient Magicks - {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}}, {{Icon|Icicle Volley|type=spell}}, and {{Icon|Ignite|type=spell}}.<br>
| |
| {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell|Winds}} are used when the hit chance of everything else is not high. They don't miss if you have more than 20k accuracy;<br>
| |
| {{Icon|Ignite|type=spell}} is used to one-shot;<br>
| |
| {{Icon|Icicle Volley|type=spell|Volley}} is used for everything else.
| |
|
| |
| Ancient Magicks are not affected by damage amplification in any way except the [[Combat Triangle]]. No curses, no debuffs, no gear buffs. However, it is much stronger than the basic magic at this stage. For instance, when basic magic could clear {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} 8 times per hour, Ancient Magicks could do it 22 times.
| |
|
| |
| ===Gear to idle===
| |
|
| |
| The main heavy-hitter of the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} uses the {{Icon|Melee}} style. Therefore, clearing it with pre-Volcanic {{Skill|Ranged}} build is unfeasible due to the [[Combat Triangle]] penalties.
| |
|
| |
| It is assumed that you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}}.
| |
|
| |
| All calculations are done for the {{Icon|Hardcore}} and {{Icon|Adventure}} game modes. For {{Icon|Melee|notext=true}} [[Game Mode#Standard|Standard]], the restrictions are a bit more relaxed.
| |
|
| |
| ====Melee====
| |
|
| |
| {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} is usually done with {{Icon|Melee}} because the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Helmet|dragon}} armor set requires only {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}} to produce. It then can be [[Upgrading Items|trimmed]] to provide 30% DR.
| |
|
| |
| Below is the melee build that requires {{Icon|Hitpoints|qty=820|type=skill}} to idle the dungeon on any game mode. However, pay attention that even slightly less DR or HP will mean death for this build because it hangs a hair breadth away from the max hit of {{Icon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor|type=monster|Malcs}}. Check with [https://silberdrachi.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] or [[Combat Simulator]] to see if you can idle with your build. Also, the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} is very important for your clear time.

| ====Pre-Volcanic Magic====
| |
|
| |
| The other possible option is {{Skill|Magic}}. Clearing the Volcano with Magic from the start is not recommended because its adjusted clear time is slower than the {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier|Rapier's}}.
| |
|
| |
| To idle the dungeon with the build below, you need {{Icon|Hitpoints|qty=800|type=skill}} and {{Icon|Weakening III|type=curse}} active.

| ====100-Volcanoes Magic====
| |
|
| |
| After clearing the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} 100 times, you will unlock [[Ancient Magicks]].
| |
|
| |
| It's theoretically possible to farm the Volcanic Cave with the 20k-accuracy {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} on the following build if you have {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=920|HP}}, {{SkillReq|Magic|93}}, '''and''' a {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} prayer active.
| |
|
| |
| To farm the dungeon with 34% DR and without the prayer or potions, you need {{Skill|Hitpoints|qty=940|HP}}. Your biggest threat is {{Icon|Prat, the Protector of Secrets|type=monster}} with the resulting damage of 375 and your minimum HP being 377.
| |
|
| |
| Check if you fulfill the accuracy quota with [[Combat Simulator]]. The 20k accuracy is important because after that number {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}} cannot miss, becoming a top-DPS spell against the dungeon at this point of progression.

| ===Weapon choice===
| |
| The information in the table below was produced by using the [[Combat Simulator]] and the respective builds above.
| |
|
| |
| {{SpoilerBox|text=
| |
| The clears per hour are counted for a [[Hardcore]] character with level 70 in everything except {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} and {{Skill|Magic}} that are adjusted for the magic setups.<br>
| |
|
| |
| In the calculations, the time to prepare prayer points and curse runes is not accounted for because it's not as easy. In addition, the overall picture is obvious even without accounting for them.
| |
|
| |
| The adjusted clear time is calculated with the notation and assumptions from the [[Dragons Den/Guide]], but {{ItemIcon|Whale (Perfect)|Whales}} are used as food instead of {{ItemIcon|Crab|Crabs}}.
| |
|
| |
| All intermediate steps are covered in a spreadsheet. ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16B4hXLWF4tomM8OXkhynRIHpC7O6jymgVSiQqAfz6QA/edit#gid=0 link])

| |
|
| |
| It should be noted that the Melee clear times become tremendously worse without the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}}. Only Rapier and Ancient Claw are better than {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Powerful)|pre-Volcano}} in this case.
| |
|
| |
| It is suggested to start using the 100-Volcanoes build as soon as you can because the {{Icon|Prat,_the_Protector_of_Secrets|type=monster|Prat}} and {{Icon|Malcs,_the_Guardian_of_Melvor|type=monster|Malcs}} significantly slow your clear time by high evasion. 20k Slicing Winds don't miss.

| |
| The {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces|Ancient}} vambraces drop from the {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}}. You will very likely need them to idle the {{ZoneIcon|Air God Dungeon}}, so might as well get them now.<br>
| |
| The {{ItemIcon|(U) Red D-hide Vambraces|Red}} and {{ItemIcon|(U) Black D-hide Vambraces|Black}} vambraces can be either crafted with {{Skill|Crafting}} or dropped from the {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}.<br>
| |
| Or you might just farm some {{Icon|Paladin|type=monster|Paladins}} for their {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves|Gloves}}.

| == Conclusion ==
| |
| The suggested order of actions is as follows:
| |
| # {{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}},
| |
| # {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}},
| |
| # 100 Volcanic clears as melee,
| |
| # The rest of Volcanic clears as Ancient Magick.
