Money making guide/Killing zombie pirates (Budget)
 |
The methods in this guide may involve considerable risk Risks including, but not limited to: loss of money/items, unstable prices, and/or slow GE resale. Test sales and prices with small amounts. Use this method at your own risk. Reason: This method takes place in the Wilderness. |
The profit rate assumes 400 kills per hour. Your actual profits may be higher or lower depending on your speed and luck. Dying to PKers significantly reduces profit.
Zombie pirates are found in the Wilderness at the Chaos Temple. They reside in low-level Wilderness in multi-combat, constantly in combat with elder chaos druids. Both will constantly attack the player, and the druids will repeatedly cast Tele Block.
Zombie pirates have a lucrative drop table, including alchables, runes, blighted supplies, and the very rare zombie champion scroll. They are the only monsters to drop the stackable adamant seeds, zombie pirate keys, which can be used at the zombie pirate's locker, and very rarely the teleport anchoring scroll. When on a zombie slayer task from Krystilia, they may also drop Larran's keys.
Completing the Medium Wilderness Diary is highly recommended, as without it profit is reduced to around 25%.

A burning amulet can be used to quickly reach the Chaos Temple, though running east from Ferox Enclave is also a good option. Due to the dangerous nature of the area, shorter trips and frequent banking are advised. Pray Protect from Magic at all times to avoid taking damage from the chaos druids. Restocking frequently, every 20 minutes or so, will minimise risk.
Having used the Teleport anchoring scroll is recommended as this prevents the player from getting teleported around by the chaos druids that also attack. The scrolls effects are permanent.
Players who have completed Slug Menace may consider replacing Monk's robes with Proselyte armour (or Initiate armour after Recruitment drive) for increased Prayer and crush defensive bonuses, though its negative magic defensive bonuses will result in faster deaths to PKers. A full set can be obtained for only 24,000. A mitre is also an inexpensive way to increase Prayer bonus.
Standing outside the walls of the temple is recommended if using potions to restore prayer, since zombies are more densely packed outside, and it allows for an easier escape over the bridge to the south. If standing by the altar for free prayer restoration, plan to escape northward.
In the event of an attack by PKers, choose an escape route (teleporting is not an option):
- Directly south, over the bridge towards the Wilderness ditch (recommended).
- North then south-east to cross the stepping stone shortcut (requiring level 72 Agility) if you are situated at the north side of the Chaos temple.
- Running north-west to Ferox Enclave can be more risky, as PKers often come in pairs and block this route.
After exiting the wilderness (or logging out and back in) the effects of tele block will be removed, and a ring of dueling can be used to teleport to Ferox Enclave to heal and restock.
