Requirements

Access and practical preparation

92 Slayer and valid task

Fight while assigned araxytes or spiders; both task types permit the boss.

Morytania access

Complete Priest in Peril, with Sins of the Father and the Darkmeyer shortcut providing faster optional travel.

Venom protection

Bring Anti-venom+ or another reliable cure because Araxxor and its acid hazards inflict venom.

Crush melee

Araxxor is weakest to crush, and crush weapons also max-hit hatched araxytes when crush is the highest accuracy style.

YOUR ESTIMATE

Profitability and projections

The Wiki Estimate seeds loot and supply fields from current market inputs when available. Every assumption remains editable and your saved values take priority.

The calculator will update if the selected Wiki method provides a usable average loot value. You can enter your own value at any time.

Kill-count projections will appear after an average loot value is available.

When the Wiki publishes a matching money-making method, its estimated average loot per kill is available in the editable calculator. Otherwise, enter your own verified sample.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Zombie axe → abyssal bludgeon

The two-handed crush weapon directly targets Araxxor's lowest defence without an incompatible defender.

Major upgrade
2

Add noxious halberd for mirrorback araxytes

Attack the mirrorback from one tile away so its melee recoil does not reflect the hit.

Moderate upgrade
3

Abyssal bludgeon → scythe of vitur on crush

Keep the Slayer helmet in the head slot and make the expensive weapon the final damage upgrade.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring eggs and spiders

Losing position during cleaving movement

Mishandling harvest decision: Choose whether to harvest or destroy the corpse based on your goal.
