Access and practical preparation

Deep Wilderness route

Reach the level 42 Wilderness Chaos Fanatic with a Ghorrock teleport, Wilderness obelisk or low-risk route from the Lava Maze.

Protect from Magic

The prayer blocks the ordinary Magic projectile, but not the green explosive special.

Full inventory

Use pies, curry or other supplies that leave no empty slot so the disarm special cannot remove worn equipment.

Method-specific setups and tradeoffs

Expensive offensive upgrades for sustained wilderness demi-boss farming after explosive special is reliable.

  • Webweaver bow
  • Masori body and chaps as protected items
  • Necklace of anguish

Recommended inventory

Method-specific supplies and trip planning

1-2 divine ranging potions (4)4-6 blighted super restores (4)Summer pies or curry to keep every inventory space occupiedAt least two Ghorrock teleport tablets if using that routeLooting bagWilderness obelisk or King Black Dragon lair escape plan

Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Enter with a completely full inventory

Use pies, curry and at least two route teleports so consuming or using one item does not expose a free slot to the disarm attack.

2

Keep Protect from Magic active

The prayer blocks the rapid ordinary projectile, but movement is still required for the green explosive special.

3

Move from the green arc

Step away as the projectiles land, then resume Ranged attacks without drifting away from the chosen escape direction.

4

Watch the respawn gap

The area is single-way during the kill, but another player can attack between spawns, so leave on the first risk trigger.

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 -> Craw's bow

The powered Wilderness bow improves Ranged damage while Protect from Magic and inventory blocking remain unchanged.

Major upgrade
2

Craw's bow -> Webweaver bow

Use the upgraded Wilderness weapon only after its ether risk is included in death loss.

Moderate upgrade
3

Complete the inventory-blocking supply plan

Preventing disarms is more useful here than adding a fourth unprotected armour item.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring explosive special

Losing position during ranged pressure

Mishandling player traffic: Watch the minimap and leave on your preselected trigger.
