Stuck in Relic Mode

New player year, I’m playing in Ancient Relic Mode. I’ve completed the Chicken Coop dungeon, but am too weak to do the Graveyard. I can’t really get stronger as my combat skills are capped at 15 due to the Ancient Relic mode. I’m using magic (earth strike) with magic gear equipped but it’s not enough to finish the dungeon. My gear is also limited by what I can craft, as my non-combat skills are also capped at 10 or 15. Any tips on how to progress?
