Stonefang Tunnel

General Strategy
Stonefang is an easy world for planning equipment strategy since almost all the enemies have similar attacks and weaknesses.
- Enemies deal Physical and Flame damage only, no magical damage
- Purple Flame Shield or ideally Brushwood Shield is perfect for this world; Dark Heater or Rune or Dark Silver Shields are not ideal
- Some armor is better vs fire (Binded Cross better than Wizard's Clothes better than Old Raggedy Robes, Brushwood and Ancient King's and Mirdan Armor is better than Dark Silver or Gloom Armor)
- Fire resistance can be boosted from the Ring, Water Veil spell
- All enemies are resistent to physical and fire attacks, but vulnerable to magic damage
- Soul light, Soul arrow, Moving Soul Arrow will be effective
- Fire-based spell attacks are useless on many enemies (Fat Minsters are an exception)
- Avoid using fire-based weapon attacks (Dragon weapons, Turpentine)
- Instead, use magic damage boosted weapons:
- Crecent, Moon or Blessed weapons
- buff weapons with Sticky White Stuff, Magic/Light/Curse weapon spells
- Toad Eye Arrows deal good magic damage if your plan includes a bow
- Even the 3 bosses (well, the first 2 at least) follow the same rules: defend against their physical and fire, and attack them with magic
- Despite all the above advice, don't forget PvP invasions: a smart Black Phantom will play against your expected PvE equipment setup and probably attack you with Magic damage. So if you don't have some magic defense option you will be an easy target.
- There are many enemies in this world which drop valuable weapon upgrade stones, including the largest number of Crystal Geckos anywhere, so leave some inventory weight free for the loot, and bring the Ring of Herculean Strength if you have it.
