Sarachnis X

Sarachnis is a friendly mid-level boss with one trick: what she hits you with depends on how close you stand. Sarachnis X reads that for you, praying melee up close and missiles at range, and can keep the kills coming with complete bank trips.

At the boss

• Protect from Melee next to her, Protect from Missiles away from her, switched as you move

• Clears her mage spawns first, all spawns, or none, and goes back to finishing her once she's low

• Holds ordinary eating for web binds, when you can't attack anyway, while urgent health always eats straight away (with a karambwan if you have one)

• Restores prayer, keeps your style's boost and offensive prayer up, and can keep a greater ghost thrall summoned

• Picks up only your own drops by default, with a never-pick-up list

• Melee, ranged or magic, with the attack range worked out for you (halberds included)

Trips

• Teleports out with your prayers still on when your health hits your floor, or food or prayer runs out

• Uses a house pool or the Ferox Enclave pool, banks into your saved loadout and can pre-eat an anglerfish

• Banks from the house by ornate jewellery box to the Grand Exchange, any jewellery box to Ferox, or the portal to the nearest bank

• Gets back by your house in Hosidius, Xeric's talisman, the Book of the dead or on foot

Your choices

• Public arena or a private instance, with a cap on the fee you'll pay

• Stay for more kills or leave after each one, a kill limit, and a one-tick "leave and stop" button

• On public worlds it can wait rather than join another player's fight

Getting started

• Start inside the lair with your gear on to fight straight away, or pick a saved loadout for full trips

• A way through the dungeon webs: Aranea boots, a knife or a slashing weapon

• Your exit teleport: house tablets or a Construction cape, or a ring of dueling for Ferox

The panel shows kills, loot and loot per hour, the current step, your target, active protection and whether you're webbed.
