Requirements
Access and practical preparation

Use an Ivandis or blisterwood flail with Salve amulet (e) or (ei) while collecting remains.
Include remains, magic pyre logs, sacred oil and silver-chest rewards in the estimate.

Strategy
A practical step-by-step plan
Collect a combat batch
Use the flail and Salve amulet against Fiyr shades, then bank enough remains to make the pyre stage efficient.
Prepare magic pyre logs
Use sacred oil on magic logs and include both inputs in the cost of every cremation.
Cremate for silver keys
Burn Fiyr remains with magic pyre logs, collect the resulting silver keys and use the correct shade-catacomb doors.
Value the whole loop
Measure combat, cremation and chest opening together rather than presenting the shade kill alone as the method's profit.
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.
Important drops
Notable rewards and drop categories
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
Ivandis flail -> blisterwood flail
The vampyre weapon improves the remains-collection stage without changing pyre costs.
Salve amulet (e) -> Salve amulet (ei)
The imbued version preserves the undead damage bonus for the combat batch.
Add a flamtaer bag and flamtaer bracelet
These optional activity tools improve temple repair and sacred-oil preparation rather than pretending luxury armour raises chest value.
Common mistakes
Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips
Ignoring remains collection
Losing position during pyre preparation
Mishandling key progression: Track chest-key results separately from ordinary combat drops.
Guide status and data source
