•   Blisterwood Flail: Mandatory for dealing full damage to Vyrewatch.
•   Best Strength/Crush Bonus Melee Gear: E.g., Bandos, Fighter Torso, Neitiznot Faceguard.
•   OR Prayer Gear: Proselyte, Initiate, Monk's Robes for longer trips with Protection Prayers.

Inventory Setup

•   Combat Potions: Super combat potions, or strength + attack separately.

•   Food (optional): If you're not praying melee.
•   Drakan's Medallion: This is for fast teleporting to Darkmeyer.

Banking Tips

Strategy

1. Teleport to Darkmeyer using Drakan's Medallion.
2. If wearing a disguise, remove it to start the fight -- Vyres will become aggressive.
3. Use Protect from Melee for minimal damage.
4. Use Piety for faster kills (optional but helpful).
5. AFK while fighting or manually flick if you want to extend potions.
6. Run to a nearby altar when prayer is low (beware: you'll take 1-3 damage per prayer restored).

AFK Method

• Use prayer gear + Piety.
• Camp Protect from Melee.
• Re-pot when needed.
• Replenish prayer at the altar when low.

Notable Drops

Vyrewatch Sentinels are widely regarded as a strong passive money-making method thanks to their consistent drop table and rare Blood Shard drops.

Vyrewatch Sentinels have consistent and valuable drops, making them excellent for both XP but more when we talk about GP. e.g:

• Blood Shard (1/1500) - ~5.4M GP (2025) - Used with Amulet of Fury to create Amulet of Blood Fury.
• Vampyre Dust - Used for Hallowed Sepulchre.
• Rune Drops - Rune daggers, rune full helms, rune bars.
• Runes - Blood, Death, Nature.
• Coins - Frequent coin drops.
• Seeds, Bolt Tips, Ores, Logs, and Herbs.
• Hard Clue Scrolls - Potential for rare rewards.

Profit Estimation

• Without Blood Shard: ~300k-400k GP/hr.
• With Blood Shard: 5M+ GP spike.
