  • Herblore: 107+ for Elder Overload Salves.

  • Archaeology: 98+ to unlock specific relics that improve your AFK experience.

Recommended Unlocks

  • Invention (for gear perks): While not required, it’s highly recommended for defensive perks to reduce damage taken.

  • Archaeology Relics: At least 118 Archaeology to access the Conservation of Energy relic, which boosts adrenaline regeneration.

Essential Quest

  • Temple at Senntisten: Unlocks curses, allowing you to use Soul Split and Sorrow.

Gear Setup

Here’s the ideal gear setup for making Hellweir an AFK-friendly boss with necromancy.

Armor and Weapons

  • Helm: Giant Mixture helm.

  • Body: Death Warden (Tier 90).

  • Gloves: Cinderbanes (Tier 90).

  • Legs: Death Warden (Tier 90).

  • Boots: Death Dealer (Tier 90).

  • Weapons: Tier 95 necromancy weapons for high damage output, crucial for maintaining AFK sustainability.

Accessories

  • Aura: Vampyrism Aura, synergizing with Blood Reaver’s lifesteal.

  • Cape: Zuk Cape for additional necromancy boosts.

  • Necklace: Essence of Finality or Amulet of Souls (accuracy boost).

  • Ring: Reaver’s Ring.

  • Ammo Slot: Grasping Rune Pouch, primarily for its prayer bonus.

Pocket Slot

  • God Book: Scripture of Wen, activated to boost damage passively during AFK.

Inventory Setup

  • Elder Overload Salve: Place in potion reservoir for continuous boosting.

  • Weapon Poison++: Essential for sustained damage.

  • Powder of Penance: For constant prayer restoration.

  • Luck Enhanced Potion: Optional but may help with rare drops.

  • Super Restore Flask: Backup for prayer restoration.

  • Blood Reaver Familiar: This familiar is essential for self-healing.

  • Ectoplasms: Required for necromancy abilities.

  • Ancient Elven Ritual Shard: Additional prayer restoration.

  • Spring Cleaner: For processing drops automatically.

Relic Powers and Perks

Relic Powers are key to optimizing your AFK experience:

1. Conservation of Energy: Helps sustain adrenaline, especially useful for death skulls.

2. Persistent Rage: Maintains adrenaline between encounters.

3. Death Ward: Reduces damage taken, boosting survivability.

If you’re missing Conservation of Energy, try Fury of the Small for better adrenaline generation on basic attacks.

Perks

  • Crystal Shield 4 and Absorbative 4: While not mandatory, these perks help reduce the damage you take from Hellweir’s mechanics, particularly the mushroom clouds.

How to Get to Hellweir and Instance Setup

The Heart of Gielinor (God Wars Dungeon 2) is where you’ll find Hellweir. Here’s how to reach and set up the instance:

1. Getting There: Head to the Heart of Gielinor, accessible south of the Piscatoris Fishing Colony.

2. Kill Count Requirement: You’ll need to defeat 40 Seren Warriors to access Hellweir. If you have a high reputation with Seren’s faction, this number is reduced to 20. A great place to farm this kill count is just north of Hellweir’s instance barrier.

3. Setting Up the Instance: Activate your Vampyrism Aura, Scripture of Wen, potion reservoir, and necromancy runes. Summon your Blood Reaver familiar and consume any necessary potions before entering.

Positioning

Upon entering, position yourself in a way that prevents mushroom clouds from double-hitting you. This small adjustment is key to AFKing without dying.

Revolution Bar and Combat Tips

Your Revolution Bar should include the following abilities:

  • Conjure Army, Command Ghost, and Death Skulls for offensive power.

  • Resonance, Command Skeleton, and Soul Sap for consistent damage.

  • Sacrifice, Reflect, Scythe, Bloat, and Volley of Souls for versatility and healing.

Activate Lesser Bone Shield for an extra layer of defense.

Profits and Expenses

AFKing Hellweir can yield around 53 kills per hour, though the cost of running this method is fairly high.

Hourly Costs

  • Ectoplasm, Powder of Penance, Corrupt Incense Sticks, Weapon Poison++, Blood Reaver, Elder Overload Salves, and Divine Charges total around 3 million RuneScape GP per hour. This setup is recommended for players who are either wealthy or specifically hunting Hellweir’s log drops.

Profit Potential

Based on RNG, you can expect around 1 million GP per hour in standard drops, with additional profits from rare drops like the Crest of Seren or Dormant Anima Body. While rare drops aren’t factored into the average profit, they can drastically boost your GP per hour if you’re lucky.

Final Thoughts and Tips

While this method has a high cost, it can be worthwhile for players with a high budget or those specifically hunting Hellweir’s rare drops. Here are some final tips:

1. Monitor Your Potion Reservoirs: Ensure your Elder Overload Salves and Weapon Poison++ are active throughout the fight; letting these expire can end your AFK session quickly.

2. Blood Reaver Familiar: Use this for healing, but keep its health in check with Prism of Restoration if needed.

3. Reputation Perks: Consider increasing your Seren reputation to reduce the kill count requirement.
