Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Start with a prediction

Use the gorilla's position to identify possible attacks.

Count attacks

Update protection prayer before the next style lands.

3

Switch damage styles

Respond immediately when its overhead prayer changes.

4

Move from boulders

Safety takes priority over completing a switch.

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.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Arclight → Emberlight

The demonbane melee upgrade improves every melee protection cycle without adding another inventory switch.

Major upgrade
2

Rune crossbow → toxic blowpipe

A faster Ranged weapon makes it easier to convert the Ranged windows after each protection-prayer change.

Moderate upgrade
3

Toxic blowpipe → bow of faerdhinen with crystal body and legs

Use the larger Ranged investment only after prayer prediction and the two-style switch are consistent.

Minor upgrade

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Guessing attacks without tracking the sequence

Bringing an oversized gear switch

Attacking into a protection prayer
