How ratings work

difficulty1 is beginner-friendly. 3 is moderate. 5 needs end-game access, gear, or execution.

attention1 needs occasional checks. 3 needs regular input. 5 needs continuous focus.

afk1 is not AFK. 3 allows short pauses. 5 allows long low-input periods.

risk1 has limited loss pressure. 3 has meaningful failure cost. 5 has major death, supply, or PvP risk.

Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Enter with the escape tile visible

Use Hunter's End only after checking the singles-plus entrance, carried risk and Royal seed pod level.

2

Freeze before dealing damage

Bind Artio and attack from range. Refreeze after each roar at 66% and 33% health.

3

Protect the knockback

Switch to Protect from Magic before the white orb lands and keep away from walls and bear traps.

4

Leave on player contact

Use the singles-plus exit immediately rather than finishing a low-health boss while another player controls the entrance.

YOUR ESTIMATE

Risk-adjusted profitability

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 -> Webweaver bow

The powered Wilderness bow improves sustained Ranged damage while leaving the freeze spell as a separate control tool.

Major upgrade
2

Black dragonhide -> blessed dragonhide

Use the inexpensive defensive and Prayer upgrade before risking Masori pieces in singles-plus Wilderness.

Moderate upgrade
3

Amulet of glory -> necklace of anguish

Only risk the Ranged jewellery after the weapon, escape route and protected-item plan are settled.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring binding roar

Losing position during prayer changes

Mishandling escape readiness: Keep the exit, teleport and player indicators visible.
