Recommended fight plan
- Use Magic and Protect from Missiles for normal attacks.
- Move away immediately when the explosive book special is announced.
- The budget is purchase spending, NOT your death risk. Check the in-game Items Kept on Death screen, skull prevention and Protect Item. House tablets cannot escape deep Wilderness; a teleport may also be blocked.

Equipment and budget
The interactive armoury recommends a curated, boss-appropriate equipment progression within the bankroll you enter. It also shows worn slots, item statistics, live quoted values and the inventory cost separately. It is not a maximum-DPS simulator, and it cannot verify your levels, quests, charges or unlocked travel routes.
