⚠️ Disclaimer

Due to the removal of negative perks some of our old component combinations are no longer accurate so the perk index has been temporarily removed and will be readded once we've updated it!

The Perks/Search calculator https://runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Perks/Search has been updated so you can use that to find any component combinations you need.

​

Note: a Table of Contents can be found in the pinned messages.

Introduction

This guide covers the perks we suggest for your gear and how to obtain them.

​

When you see symbols in a listed perk (+ and X):

​

⬥ + represents an item with multiple gizmos slots:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• E.g., p6 as1 + as4 eruptive2

​

⬥ X - represents where you have a choice of perks:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• E.g., 'Biting 4 X' you could choose between 9 different perks to go with biting4 depending on your preference

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• These combinations are listed in the later sections of this guide
