    The profit rate assumes 150 kills per hour. Your actual profits may be higher or lower depending on your speed and luck.

    Killing wyrms is a low effort and accessible activity to train Slayer and combat stats. While not as profitable as Killing brutal black dragons, the level and gear requirements are much lower.

    Because wyrms have such low defence, an Archer's ring (i) will offer very little increase to DPS, meaning replacing it with a Ring of the gods (i) is recommended to save on prayer potions.

    As wyrms are considered draconic creatures, they are susceptible to dragonbane weapons. They are weak to Earth spells. Players on a budget may wish to kill them with Magic, using a Dragon hunter wand paired with a tome of earth. You can drink a forgotten brew and use Preserve to get access to Surge spells earlier.

    Located in Karuulm Slayer Dungeon, players that have not completed the Elite Kourend & Kebos Diary will need to wear Boots of brimstone, Boots of stone, or Granite boots.

    The closest bank available is in Mount Karuulm, although it is possible for players with Construction 82 to use a Ornate rejuvenation pool and Fairy ring (Construction) to replenish their stats and quickly return. Alternatively, one may use a ring of dueling to bank and resupply at the Ferox Enclave.

    Attacking wyrms from distance with Protect from Magic will negate all damage. It is possible to safespot wyrms, removing the need for protection prayers, but this comes at a cost of much lower kills per hour, as there is only one wyrm in a good location to be safespotted.

    With better gear and higher stats, it is possible to achieve close to 180 kills/hour.

    If you are on a Slayer task with Bigger and badder enabled, you can expect approximately 99,383.43 additional GP/h. If you have reached the elite combat achievements tier, you can expect approximately 132,511.24 additional GP/h.
