The profit shown is the average Pk Point value of one revenant dragon kill, worked out from the drop table with current prices and base drop rates, while unskulled. It does not assume a kill rate: multiply it by the number of kills you get. The pet is not counted.
Revenants are ghosts that roam the Revenant Caves under the Wilderness. Every revenant drops 5–15 revenant ether, and their best drops are the 15 pieces of Ancient Warriors' equipment. From a revenant dragon each piece has its own 1/1,000 roll, and the most valuable are Vesta's longsword (100,000 Pk Points) and Vesta's spear (100,000 Pk Points). PKers are common in the caves, so plan for them.
Which revenants to kill
The bigger revenants drop the same items far more often, so revenant dragons and knights are worth the most per kill. The averages below use current prices and base rates (unskulled).
| Revenant | Combat | Hitpoints | Number in the caves | Each armour or weapon piece | Average per kill | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Revenant dragon | 135 | 210 | 7 | 1/1,000 | 679 |

Recommended gear
         |
- Bracelet of ethereum. While a charged Bracelet of ethereum is worn, every revenant hit deals 0 damage and uses one charge; when the charges run out it turns back into an uncharged bracelet. With its Toggle option, the ether you get from kills goes straight into the bracelet. The Revenant scroll gives the same protection for one hour without a bracelet.
- Protection prayers will not save you from revenants. When you pray against the style a revenant is using, it switches to another style, so keep your prayers for PKers.
- Salve amulet(ei). Revenants are undead, so the Salve amulet(ei) gives 20% better accuracy and damage with melee and ranged, and 20% better accuracy with magic. It does not stack with the slayer helmet bonus.
- Wilderness weapons. The charged Craw's bow and Webweaver bow get 50% better ranged accuracy and damage against monsters in the Wilderness, the charged Viggora's chainmace and Ursine chainmace 50% better melee accuracy and damage, and the charged Thammaron's sceptre and Accursed sceptre 50% better magic accuracy and a 50% magic damage bonus. They use one revenant ether per attack, and their charges are always lost on death.
- Bring a Looting bag for your loot, and only bring what you are willing to lose.
Getting there
- Type ::revs, or use the teleport portal at ::home and choose Monsters → Revenant Caves. Both take you outside the level 17 entrance; enter the cave and run north to find the revenants.
- A revenant cave teleport (dropped by revenants) can take you to the level 17 entrance or the level 40 entrance in the north. The Max cape teleport also goes to the level 40 entrance.
- You need a Combat level of at least 88 to enter the caves, and you cannot enter while teleblocked.
- The pillar jumps inside the caves are shortcuts that need 65, 75 or 89 Agility.

- A kill gives at most one item from the table, and the rarest items are rolled first. Unlike most bosses, revenants have no fallback drop, so many kills give only ether. The profit table at the top uses the real chance per kill.
- Their other drops are 1–20 noted dragon chainbodies or platelegs (1/30 each), 1–5 revenant cave teleports (1/15), 2–7 Morrigan's javelins or Morrigan's throwing axes (1/10 each), 1–200 Pk Points (1/10) and 1–50 noted anglerfish, cooked karambwans or super combat potion(4)s (1/5 each).
- Revenant dragons also drop the Pet Revenant dragon pet at 1/5,000.
Selling ancient artifacts
Ancient artifacts are worth a fixed amount of Pk Points at the Emblem Trader, who wanders between five spots in the Revenant Caves and moves every 20 minutes. You need a Combat level of 126 and must be within 10 tiles of him. Selling to him is risky:
- He hits you with an Ice Barrage for 11–40 damage and freezes you for about 20 seconds.
- You cannot log out for one minute afterwards.
- Everyone in the Revenant Caves is told that you sold your artifacts, and at which Wilderness level.
You can also trade the artifacts to other players or sell them on the Trading post instead.
Risks
- The caves are in level 17–42 Wilderness and are almost all multi-combat, apart from three small single-combat areas, so PKers can attack you in groups.
- Drops worth 1,000 Pk Points or more are announced to everyone in the caves, and the rare drops are announced to the whole server.
- Normal teleports cannot be used above level 20 Wilderness; an amulet of glory or royal seed pod works up to level 30. In the deeper parts of the caves you have to run before you can teleport.
- If you die you keep only 3 items (none while skulled), plus one more with Protect Item. Ancient artifacts and the Looting bag are always lost on death. See Items Kept on Death.
Tips
- Revenants in the Revenant Caves are not aggressive, so they only fight you when you attack them.
- Below half health, revenants sometimes heal themselves.
- Being skulled in the Revenant Caves gives you 20% better drop rates against revenants. This raises the revenant dragon average to about 824 Pk Points per kill, but you keep no items on death unless you use Protect Item.
- Krystilia can assign revenants as a Slayer task (Slayer level 25, 40–100 kills). Every type of revenant counts.
- Type ::dropbonus to see your current drop rate bonus. A donator rank, the Monster slayer clan perk, a Collector's ring and the Voting bonus all improve the rates above.
- Royal Donators can also kill royal revenants; see Money making guide/Killing Royal Revenants Royal Donator Zone.
