Summer pies provide an excellent source of food, since they boost 5 Agility levels, restore 10% run energy, and give 22 health per pie. Alternatively, stackable purple sweets, which restore 10% run energy and 2 health, may be used. High Prayer bonus armour (e.g. proselyte or initiate armour, a god book, a holy symbol, a broodoo shield). A melee weapon that provides a Prayer bonus, such as any mace, Godsword, Zamorakian hasta, ancient mace, silver sickle (b), crozier, dragon mace, Void Knight mace, the Ivandis flail, blisterwood flail, or Wolfbane. The ancient mace's special attack can be useful as it refills prayer points. The Ivandis and blisterwood flails weigh 0 kg. One pure essence to craft a Death rune once in the Death Altar at the end of the quest (requires 65 Runecraft ^(boostable), needed for hard Ardougne Diary), can be done easier via the Abyss later but might save time for Ultimate or Hardcore Ironmen
