The Shadow Reef
Introduction
⬥ Rotations are written for each of the three ED3 bosses and the monsters in between. The rotations can be adapted as required.
⬥ Boss rotations assume you have the Invigorating 4 
and Impatient 4 
perks on your armour.
⬥ It's recommended to set your anti-spam delay for your 
to 1 via the Lectern at Anachronia.
⬥ You can Surge or Bladed Dive 
a tick before each gate unlocks to save a tick on every entry.
⬥ It is assumed that Darkness 
is used and reapplied where required to mitigate the damage taken.
⬥ It is assumed that 
+ 
+ 
is used to keep conjures alive as required depending on the speed of your clear (as such, this isn't always specified within the rotations).
Presets and Relics
Preset Notes
⬥ Hand wrap of the First Necromancer 
should only be worn when summoning conjures. Otherwise, Cinderbane Gloves 
should be used.
⬥ For optimal clear speeds and to help at Taraket, the Undead Slayer Perk, 
, Salve Amulet (e) 
and Undead Slayer Ability 
should be utilised. Genocidal 
can also provide a damage buff while on an undead task, but this isn't recommended.
⬥ It's possible to bring Lucky Charms 
for some extra profit at the cost of Dungeoneering tokens.
⬥ Mobile 
perk is a must have on gear.
• Alternatively, use Shadow's Grace 
.
⬥ 
Luck of the Dwarves will not improve the number of scales dropped.
⬥ This guide assumes that Kal'gerion Demon Scrolls 
are used, which can be set to autofire and will auto-renew as the buff expires.
