⚠️ 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.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• E.g., +

​

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