Definitions

Within these guides there are two levels of AFK you will see mentioned.

AFK: These guides will allow you to pay no attention to the game. Times you will need to interact with your character include: to prevent lobbying, drinking potions, collecting loot and placing Prism of Restoration to heal familiars if needed.

These do not require you looking at the RuneScape window and can be done using alt1 alerts only.

Low Effort: These don’t require you actively killing the boss, however may require more effort. This includes: repositioning every kill, banking between kills, moving out of the way of mechanics.

These require you to be able to see the RuneScape window and can not be done with alt1 alerts only.

Aura Choices

There are a variety of auras used for AFKing for several reasons. Ensure to follow the guides recommendations however here is some reasoning: ⬥ Dark Magic

is the general dps aura for afking. It provides extra hitsplats which synergise with Soul Split

, and is usually the go to choice. ⬥ Mahjarrat

is usually a secondary dps aura choice. It doesnt synergise as well with Soul Split

however is still a decent dps option. ⬥ Zerk auras

are generally to be avoided unless stated otherwise due to increased damage taken. ⬥ Penance

If a method can survive with penance, it will reduce supply usage by 2 Penance powder

, with slightly lower kph. This can often result in higher profit. • Use at your own discretion. ⬥ Equilibrium

boosts ability damage by 12% but prevents you dealing critical strikes. • Used in situations where consistency is key over RNG-based crits. • Also used due to its long duration (2 hours) and inexpensive cost to extend/reset as a Tier 2 aura.

Relic Choices

⬥ It will be assumed that all AFK set-tups use Persistent Rage unless stated otherwise. THIS IS OFTEN ESSENTIAL!

⬥ Other relics will usually be Conservation of energy and either Fury of the Small or Death Ward

⬥ These will be stated on the preset breakdown website. Follow preset links in the relevent guide to confirm if unsure.

Universal Setup

Assumed Setup

Several parts of afk setups are assumed. These will be listed here and unless stated otherwise should always be used for the method to work. ⬥ Soul Split

should be camped as your overhead prayer. ⬥ DPS Prayers

/

should be used for your style. ⬥ Basic dps perks on weapons and armour (see #perks) ⬥ Penance powder

should be used to upkeep prayer points. ⬥ Elder Overload Salves

should always be used. ⬥ Ring of vigour

as a permanent passive effect should be unlocked. ⬥ Auto Retaliate

should be on. ⬥ Darkness

should not be active by default.

Useful Extra Items

Some other potentially useful items for afking can also be used. ⬥ Spring Cleaner

- automatically alchs / disassembles some items. ⬥ Holy Wrench

- more prayer restored by prayer potions. ⬥ Potion Reservoir

- can reduce inputs needed by renewing potions automatically. ⬥ Enhanced luck potion

- increases droprates at some bosses, and is useful to get alt1 to flag uniques. ⬥ Enhanced Excalibur

- provides free healing. ⬥ Ancient Elven Ritual Shard

- provides free prayer point restoration. ⬥ Lantadyme Incense Sticks

- extend potion timers, usually not economical but reduce the amount of potions needed.

AFK Warden

To set up alt1 AFK Warden you can include several useful warnings.

⬥ HP Alert

⬥ Prayer Alert

⬥ Loot Beam

⬥ Inventory Full

⬥ Animate Dead

⬥ Overload

⬥ Weapon Poison

⬥ Summoning Familiar HP Alert

⬥ Kerapac Kill

⬥ Lobby timer

Depending on the boss you are doing, you can activate different ones of these, and set the HP threshold to a suitable level for the risk of your setup. Doing this will allow you to eat / excal to stop a death.

You can add all of these by clicking the save icon on alt1, and then importing the following text:
