===Order===


There are a couple of different orders in which these weapons are normally obtained.  
The order you obtain these items in is not particularly important.


While it may seem that using these weapons to farm the other weapons would be beneficial, this is often not the case due to the relatively weak power level of {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} and {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}} compared to other available weapons.

The only suggestion here is to obtain {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} and use it to obtain {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}


The common orders are:

- {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} then {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} then {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}
- {{ItemIcon|Tidal Edge}} then {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} then {{ItemIcon|Ocean Song}}


Between those two, the required time is roughly equal, but the second one requires more runes.

Many people combine the grinding of these weapons with the grind for the master slayer gear. An added benefit is the increased damage given by the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} and buffs from {{Skill|Astrology}} while fighting slayer tasks. Another benefit is the ability to buy prayer points, {{ItemIcon|Light Rune|Light Runes}}, and [[Food]] ''at a profit'' with the use of {{Icon|Generous Resupply}}.

Below are some gear suggestions. Depending on what {{Skill|Prayer}}, {{Skill|Herblore|Potions}}, and {{Skill|Agility}} buffs you use or have access to, your optimal gear can change.

| {{Skill|Agility|Pipe Climb}}
| No particular reason beyond being the only obstacle that grants any combat benefits.
|-
!colspan="1"| 4
| {{Skill|Agility|Coal Stones}}
| No negative modifiers, technically saves some food.
|-
!colspan="1"| 5
| {{Skill|Agility|Cliff Balance}}
| +20 hp. This does make your prayers cost more, but as you're buying your prayer points anyways, the cost increase isn't quite as painful.
|-

| {{Skill|Agility|Lake Swim}}
| +3% damage, +1% DR.

| {{Skill|Agility|Boulder Trap}}
| No negative combat modifiers.
|-
!colspan="1"| 8
| {{Skill|Agility|Spike Jump}}
| +5% Chance to Double Items. {{Skill|Agility|Pipe Crawl}} may be slightly better, but the negative to slayer coins hurts, especially for Umbora
|-
!colspan="1"| 9
| {{Skill|Agility|Ice Jump}}
| This obstacle does everything you want it to.
|-
!colspan="1"| 10
| {{Skill|Agility|Lava Waterfall Dodge}}
| {{Skill|Agility|Ocean Rafting}} is technically the best dps option. Lava Waterfall Dodge is recommended slightly above it, as you preserve some of your ammo and runes, earn more coins, and have an easier time swapping to skilling to restock.

!colspan="1"| P
| {{Skill|Agility|Pillar of Combat}}
| Lots of beneficial combat bonuses

===== Prayer =====
For Melee, use {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Piety|type=prayer}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
For Ranged, use {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Rigour|type=prayer}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
For Magic, use {{Icon|Battleheart|type=prayer}} and {{Icon|Augury|type=prayer}} or the highest level combat style prayers you have available.
===== Potions =====
For all combat styles, use {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck Potions}}
For Ranged, with {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}}, it is sometimes possible that {{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV}} is stronger than Diamond Luck Potions. This should never be done without checking Combat Sim for yourself, and should never be done unless the potion is specifically {{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV}}, and not any lower mastery.
===== Summoning =====
For Melee, use {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and {{ItemIcon|Minotaur}}
For Ranged, use {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and {{ItemIcon|Centaur}}
For Magic, use {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and {{ItemIcon|Witch}}
Notably for Magic, using use {{ItemIcon|Cyclops}} and {{ItemIcon|Witch}} will earn you significantly more coins at a fairly minimal loss of kills per hour. This is most obvious with {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}}.
