This guide assumes that you have {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat - Tier III}} equipped which greatly reduces the DR requirements. | ||
The calculations in this guide are against the {{Icon|Hardcore}}/{{Icon|Adventure}} modes, and so should work for most play styles, however if you have lower HP or DR than the guide recommends then check out [https://zxv975.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] or the [[Combat Simulator]] to see if you build will survive. | |||

This {{Icon|Melee}} build requires {{Icon|Hitpoints|qty=820|type=skill}} to idle the dungeon. However, this should be seen as a minimum DR + HP, as any less will be below the max hit of {{Icon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor|type=monster|Malcs}}.The {{ItemIcon|Sandstorm Ring}} can be omitted, but at the expense of clear time. | |||

{{ItemIcon|Fire Expert Wizard Robes|Fire Robes}} have the exact same stats as {{ItemIcon|Air Expert Wizard Robes|Air Robes}}. The secondary effect of robes (+20 minimum hit for matching spells) outweighs the damage increase of higher level spells, therefore, use the highest level spell and robe combination available to you. If available to you, use the {{ItemIcon|Ring of Spirit Power}} instead of the {{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}} | |||
