The profit rate assumes 28 kills per hour. Your actual profits may be higher or lower depending on your speed and luck.

To avoid taking significant damage while getting there, it is important to pray the correct prayers when running through Waterbirth Island Dungeon. What to pray and when can be seen in the pictures listed. The agility shortcuts unlocked at levels 81 and 85 can significantly reduce the time it takes to get back to the lair after banking. The level 85 shortcut also removes the need for the pet rock and rune thrownaxe, freeing up inventory space for more supplies and loot.

Mid-level accounts may choose to do their Dagannoth Slayer task killing Dagannoth Rex as an alternative to regular dagannoth. This sacrifices hourly slayer experience for better money and the chance for a pet. With access to better gear, higher-level accounts are better off killing all Dagannoth Kings instead of just Dagannoth Rex.

This method is highly limited by the 150 ticks (90 seconds) respawn time Dagannoth Rex has as directly killing Rex is much shorter. This method is also limited by the price of the Berserker ring as it is most of the profit from this method. Players can get unlucky and not obtain one for many kills or get lucky and get many rings.

Without the Fremennik Elite Diary completed, a few of the bones gained will likely have to be buried. It is highly recommended to bring Nature runes for High Level Alchemy to save on inventory space.
