Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Choose Settlement or Temple

Use the Lizardman Settlement or Lizardman Temple as the primary method. Keep the canyon as an optional alternative rather than the default route.

2

Keep the full Shayzien set equipped

Do not break the five-piece tier 5 set during combat; it protects against the shaman's special poison damage.

3

Move for the jump and purple spawns

Step clear of the landing tile, then create distance from every purple spawn before returning to damage.

4

Bank on a repeatable threshold

Use the nearest unlocked Kourend travel and banking route, then record actual kills, loot and supplies in the calculator.

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

Rune crossbow -> toxic blowpipe

The faster Ranged weapon is the main practical damage step for Settlement or Temple kills.

Major upgrade
2

Toxic blowpipe -> bow of faerdhinen

The bow improves sustained Ranged damage, but the required Shayzien armour means crystal armour is not part of this setup.

Moderate upgrade
3

Ava's accumulator -> Ava's assembler

Upgrade the cape slot after the weapon while retaining all five required Shayzien armour pieces.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring jump attack

Losing position during purple spawns

Mishandling single-target spacing: Keep enough open floor in the Settlement or Temple to see the jump and purple-spawn cues clearly.
