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.

# Do 100 {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} clears as Melee,
# Do the rest of {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} clears with {{Icon|Slicing Winds|type=spell}}. Don't forget to enable the Surge aurora.

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.

If you play {{Icon|Melee|notext=true}} [[Game_Mode#Official_Game_Modes|Standard]] and have lower HP or DR, use [https://silberdrachi.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] or [[Combat Simulator]] to check if you can survive with your build.

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>
The {{Icon|Weakening III|type=curse}} is active with the pre-Volcano Magic.<br>
 
The {{Icon|Stone Skin|type=prayer}} is active with the 100-Volcano Magic. The prayer level is adjusted to allow this prayer.
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}}.

The Rune-related part of Pre-Volcanic Magic is approximated as <math>T_m + T_r = N * (9.75 + 1.72) / 16 * 1.3 + N * (9.75 + 1.72) * 2 / 16 = 37.851 * N / 16</math> where <br>

The Rune-related part of 100-Volcanoes Magic is approximated as <math>T_m + T_r + T_p = N_o * (2 + 1.3) / 16 + N_p * 3.6 / (3 * 4) = 3.3 * N_o / 16 + 0.3 * N_p</math> where <br>
<math>N_o</math> is the overall number of runes spent, <br>
<math>N_p</math> is the number of prayer points spent. The formula is the one of Alt.Magic/[[Blessed Offering]]. The gain rates of other ways are shown on the {{Skill|Prayer}} page.

It should be noted that the {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} is vital for Melee because without it, the Melee clear times plummet. Without it, only Rapier and Ancient Claw are better than {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Powerful)|pre-Volcano}}.
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-Volcanic}} in this case.


It is suggested to start using the 100-Volcanoes build as soon as you can because the Prat and Malcs slow your clear time dramatically by high evasion. 20k Slicing Winds don't miss.
