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.

Requirements

Access and practical preparation

Wilderness Medium Diary or Vet'ion boss task

Either grants access; ordinary skeleton tasks do not replace the diary requirement.

50,000 coin lair fee

The fee can be paid from the bank and is lost after a PvP death, subject to the boss's kill-based reductions.

Level 35 multi-combat Wilderness

Plan an Escape Caves route because direct teleports are unavailable at this depth.

Crush and Salve setup

Vet'ion is undead, so prioritise a crush weapon and Salve amulet (e) or (ei).

Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Enter with the team risk agreed

Pay the lair fee from the bank, equip the Salve amulet and confirm an Escape Caves route before entering the multi-combat room.

2

Use crush on Vet'ion

Protect from Melee, attack with the crush weapon and move away from every lightning strike before it lands.

3

Clear both hellhound waves

Kill the hellhounds when Vet'ion becomes immune, then return to the boss only after every hound is dead.

4

Escape before supplies decide

Use the team call and Escape Caves route as soon as player killers arrive; direct teleports are unavailable at this depth.

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.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Dragon mace -> Ursine chainmace

The Wilderness crush weapon and Salve amulet directly target Vet'ion's undead crush matchup.

Major upgrade
2

Dragon defender -> Avernic defender

Use the one-handed off-hand upgrade only when it remains protected under the exact risk plan.

Moderate upgrade
3

Add Dinh's bulwark as an escape switch

The defensive switch improves the Escape Caves route but does not increase boss damage.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring lightning and floor danger

Losing position during hellhound phases

Mishandling player interruption: Leave immediately when the team risk plan says to leave.
