The profit rate assumes 25 kills per hour with max gear and combat stats. Your actual profits may be higher or lower depending on your actual kc/hour, your luck, and how fast you can bank in between kills. The input rate for runes is assuming the player is using a Harmonised nightmare staff and a Tome of fire using Searing pages.

See Maggot King/Strategies for a guide on killing the Maggot King.

Magic (or Ranged) and melee are required for this boss, as it is only attackable with magic during the first phase, and melee during the second phase. The best option is ideally fire spells, as they possess a unique mechanic where it will get burned when hit with them, and has lowered magic defence while burning. Fire surge takes up a considerable portion of the input costs however, so players may opt to use ranged for the fight, which has a money making guide that can be found here.

It is strongly recommended to have saved the Aranei scout to access a faster transport to the boss, and to have constructed the bank chest on Vampyrium. Due to the large distance to the bank, maximising trip length can have a significant effect on kills per hour.
