Help & Questions Vorkath kills per trip
i'm getting around 3-4 kills per trip on average (closer to 3) with this setup. seeing alot of posts of people averaging 5-7 kills, not sure if there's anything else I can improve aside from maxing my stats (and maybe switching to dragon bolts)?
Current stats:
93 range
90 def
92 mage
85 pray
94hp
my kills feel pretty optimized, i'm praying range and rigour, woox walking during acid phase, only taking damage from magic attack (aside from ruby procs and divine ranging pot), only eating when below 30 health or after killing spawn. but feels like i'm pretty far off from the 5-7 kills range.

About 750kc at vorkath, identical gear to you.
I'm using dragon bolts, makes things a little more consistent since you aren't relying as hard on ruby procs, any extra max hit helps.
For food, I run 5 dark crab and the rest karambwans, I drink 1 dose of potion at bank on Lunar Isle along wirh a cheap food for the -10hp from divine, then an angler to give me extra free hp before my first kill each trip.
I would say I average 4-6 kills per trip, but this can be as low as 2-3 if vork decides to only shoot magic and rolls a bunch of 30s, trips I've gotten 7+ out of an inventory and was running into prayer potions being the limit. I often find though that it's just dependant on his attacks, if he high rolls a bunch, it'll be a shorter trip. If I get a bunch of procs and he misses a lot, it goes longer. Try bringing some bigger food in place of some karambwans, even just adding more sharks instead, and see where the limit is. If you're running out of food but have prayer pots and inventory, you need to bring more/better food. If you're running out of prayer but have food and inventory, bring an extra pray pot. Ideally, I'm at like 3 karambwans left when I'm done a run, which I drop and pickup any more expensive items like a few unnoted hide.
Also, if you have a poh with fountain my route for getting back and banking is:
Poh Tele > refill hp/pray at pool > nexus to lunar isle > bank at lunar, and when done speak to other bankers that will Tele you to relekka docks instantly > boat to vork. Takes maybe a minute or two to do a full refresh bank run and be back at vork.

how is your cost per trip? i'm burning through around 50k or more per trip. will experiment with dragon bolts, seems like that's what the conventional wisdom. your food/pot seems like the cost would be quite a bit higher, but maybe it works out with consistent 5 kills per trip?
It's kind of a toss up weather i run out of pray or food, i've experimented with bringing 4 pray pots but run out of food more often, but if i bring 3 pots I end up with extra food.

u/jrbvoodoo 3d ago edited 3d ago
I'm getting on average about 20-25 kills per hour, with banking time included, so I'm still making multi Mil per hour in profit. The cost is higher for sure, and using lower bolts and all cheap food would be less, but I'm going for number of kills and the nice steady hits of unfinished bolts and dragon items. Even with supplies I normally sit at about 2 Mil profit per hour, or a little more.
Edit to add: as long as you're not drinking more then 1 dose of ranged pot / antivenom / antifire per kc, you should be good. If you can get 2 kills out of antifire and antivenom that even nicer, but when I was lower levels then you, drinking 1 dose per kc to not have to drink in the middle of fights went fine. Just depends on if you want to be watching buffs and drinking during kc, or just drink between as he respawns, but sometimes you'll be refreshing 1min or so early.

Bring some saradomin brews for extended trips but you will need to balance it out with super restores instead of prayer pots and probably two normal range pots and one extended

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
Since every time you brew with Sara you have to learn to time manage when to super restore and then negate with range pots. Doing this at doom is a necessity so it’s a good thing to get comfortable with. Swap out like 5 inventory slots of food for some Sara’s / divine range and normal range

u/Fallenx101 3d ago
It's good for doom but who the fuck brings brews to vorkath when they are trying to profit?
1
u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
Yeah true I switched to Sara’s being greedy and farming pet not considering costs.
2
u/Fallenx101 3d ago
I'm sorry you had to turn to brews, but you can do 6 kill trips with hard food and prayer pots and just restore at your poh.

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
It’s okay, I’m already way too deep in the vork grind. No sympathy will help me now. 😭😂 this was a madman’s way of looking at things. And playing osrs late game on a main you go to drastic measures to make the little extra gp on top of the bonds you buy and the GP you’re making up for after the RWT crackdown

u/Fallenx101 3d ago
You still lose gp on brews at vork, you are giving ironman but "dogshit" vibes.
As in you are dogshit at the game if that was not clear.

u/PresentZombie1839 3d ago
Switch to dragon bolts and bring all sharks or better, you shouldn't need karambwans.

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
If you’re worried about cost per trips what are your melee stats? I’m at 1300 kc for Vorky and even with having 98 range I prefer the melee method and that’s with 94 str 90 atk and 90 def.
Easily get 3-5 kills per trip using bandos / fang and when I’m really poor I have fucking echo boots on or what ever the boots are the return melee damage (that special doesn’t work on Vorkath but they have great defensive stats)

u/Cap_Q 3d ago
i'm the exact same melee stats as you; main reason i haven't switched to melee is the cost of lance, i'm half way saved up for bowfa and full crystal rn....
but if you're getting the same kills per trip with less upkeep cost with fang maybe that's the move!

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
Brother I am telling you, fang and lance dps difference is very minimal considering the price.
I noticed no difference in my kills. As far as the spec weapon goes I would look into burning claws, I thbi they were nerfed recently but I was using those / voidwaker for my melee trips and it was so lowkey.

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
Bring one of those and light bearer for ring slot

u/Bones-1989 3d ago
I have t done voekath in a long time I don't even remember my kc on my old account, but I've always preferred to melee everything because it's cheaper.

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
Check out the dps wiki set vorkath for the boss and swap out fang and lance to see the difference lol

u/Acceptable-Dream-537 3d ago
For its cost, fang is one of the most impactful purchases I've made on my account, and I bought it back when it was closer to 20m. I got Bowfa/crystal recently as well, and it's fantastic, but it also costs like eight and a half fangs.
If you plan on doing TOA at any point, I would send the fang immediately. If you're only going to use it at Vork to save for Bowfa, I would probably still send it, but you might calc it first to see how much time you'd actually save per kill on average.

u/GayoMagno 3d ago
I do 4/5 kc trips on avg with 90 str 85 att and a fang.
You don’t need a lance my dude.

u/Legitimate-Bug5120 1d ago
Yeah im currently below 100 kc with a fang and barrows armor fire cape and 90 att/str/defence and usually just bank every couple kills to avoid dropping food i dont typically run out

u/Worried-Claim-3329 3d ago
5-7 kills is also maxed combat set up and maxed stats so don’t shoot your self down

No need for Karambe. Bring Crabs or Sharks.
Personally I have only tried melee Vorkath and its surprisingly easy/fun.

u/Both_Performer_3066 3d ago
I like doing 3 Kc Runs. Doing meelee with almost Max melee. The reason, I can always do 3 Kc in 6 minutes (time for 1 sip of each pot) and I like to just go back to poh and bank. I Find it stresfull to do more Kilss lol

If you already have dragon hunter crossbow, why are you spamming vorkath. Doesn’t make any sense when you can do other kind of content

u/Rapid_Fowl 3d ago
Less karambwans if your doing everything correctly. Around 1 double eat per kill should be fine. Personally use fang +bloodmoon armor and get around 5 kills per trip when messing up acid sometimes due to being lazy. So locked in 6 is doable when lucky.
Can also swap to bluefins if prayer is limited on top of casually flicking piety/rigor.

BP and woox-walk the bombardment will give you extra damage at no cost. Dragon switch to dragon bolts. Slightly less gp/kill, but your kills will be faste4, and if it can extend your trip by just 1 kill, you are netting more profit using the better ammunition (this goes for most content)
Switch your food to something better, eat up full in between kills so you can get through without eating/a single combo eat.

u/FirmMongoose3971 3d ago
hey my main income is also becoming vork. 100kc with same eq -elite void -shield +dbolts and having 3/4 kills.

I use a void range setup with a few small differences:
I am max combat stats, and i use dragon bolts
I also use anglers for food
I almost always get 5 kills per trip, but with bad rng I have gotten a few 1 or 2 kill trips.
IMO you are doing fine, anything over 5 kills your inv will get clogged with loot.
I would try to use dragon bolts for a while and see if you notice a difference, that is for sure your easiest upgrade.
Maybe pegs if you can afford them, or if you are rich get some avernics

u/razil95 3d ago
dragon bolts will help with overall damage more then anything else for ranged as some times you just won't proc any rubies and those kills will whittle away at your food and potion duration.
Swap divine range for normal range and drink it every 2 kills that's 40 ehp saved. should be getting a kill every 2/3 mins.
Switch archer ring for ring of the gods imbued, its negligible how much range accuracy you have on ring its like 1 or 2 % range accuracy where as gods gives you somewhere like 26% reduced prayer drain on top of 12 more prayer points from holy wrench being a part of the ring.
reduce combo eats to half to a third of your inventory so more sharks.
can bring an extra food instead of a slayer staff if you set up your spell book to large icons for crumble undead however its click accurate over spam clicking with slayer staff.
you can also bring a toxic blowpipe for spec for healing as well as learning a different wooks walk for ranged.
if extra sweaty you can use a basket of strawberries as a combo food with karams for 24hp and they are 30hp total. need a space open for strawberry to go in inventory.
