OSRS Vorkath Money Making Guide 2025: Profits with Dragon Hunter Lance

Yo, RuneScape warriors! Wanna know the best way to stack mad GP in 2025? I’ve been slaying Vorkath for years, and let me tell ya, the Dragon Hunter Lance method is where it’s at. This undead dragon from Dragon Slayer II is a cash cow, and with the Lance, you’re looking at some serious profits, like 3-4M GP an hour, maybe more if RNGesus smiles. Why’s Vorkath still the goat? Easy: his loot’s consistent, the fight’s fun once you learn it, and that Lance makes him your personal ATM. Ready to get rich? Let’s break it down, mistakes and all.

Why Vorkath’s Still Boss in 2025?

Vorkath’s been my go-to money-maker since I first slapped him post-Dragon Slayer II. His loot table’s a goldmine think Superior Dragon Bones, Blue Dragonhide, and rare drops like the Draconic Visage that make your heart skip. With the Dragon Hunter Lance, kills are quick, and you’re swimming in GP. Is it worth it? Heck yeah! The fight’s got some spice, but once you nail the mechanics, it’s smooth sailing. Just don’t expect to waltz in unprepared Vorkath hits like a truck if you mess up.

Requirements: You Up for This?

Before you sail to Ungael, you gotta be ready. Vorkath ain’t no goblin. Here’s what you need, no sugarcoating:

Quests and Travel

Dragon Slayer II: This quest is a beast, but it’s your ticket to Vorkath. Done it? Good. Not yet? Stop reading and start questing!
Getting to Rellekka: You need a way to zip there. My picks:
- Fremennik Sea Boots 4 (Elite Fremennik Diary, worth the grind).
- Enchanted Lyre or Rellekka Teleport if you’re old-school.
- House Teleport if your POH’s in Rellekka (pro move).

Stats You Want

To make the Dragon Hunter Lance sing, aim high:

Attack/Strength/Defence: 90+ is sweet, 95+ is god-tier for fast kills.
Prayer: 70+ for Piety. No skimping here.
Hitpoints: 80+ to soak those hits.
Magic: 75+ to smack that zombie spawn with Crumble Undead.

Got 80 Strength? You’ll survive, but higher stats mean less food and more kills. Can you do it with lower stats? Sure, but don’t cry when you’re chugging Saradomin Brews.

Gear and Cash

Dragon Hunter Lance: Costs ~40M GP. Save up, it’s worth every coin.
Salve Amulet (ei): 20% damage boost vs. undead. Get it from Nightmare Zone.
Starting Cash: 50M+ for gear and supplies. Don’t worry, Vorkath pays it back quick.

Must-Haves

Ornate Rejuvenation Pool: Construction 82+ to restore health, prayer, everything.
Rune Pouch: For Crumble Undead and Teleport to House spells.
Fremennik Diary (Elite): Unlimited Rellekka teleports. Game-changer.

You got all that? Sweet, let’s gear up.

Gear Setup: Look Good, Slay Good

The Dragon Hunter Lance is your MVP, boosting damage and accuracy by 20% against dragons. Stack it with a Salve Amulet (ei), and Vorkath’s gonna feel it. Here’s my go-to setup for 2025, with some budget swaps if you’re not a billionaire yet:

Slot	Item	Why I Use It
Head	Neitiznot Faceguard	Solid melee stats, way cheaper than Torva.
Neck	Salve Amulet (ei)	20% damage boost vs. undead. Don’t even think about skipping this.
Cape	Infernal Cape	Best melee cape. Fire Cape’s fine if you’re still grinding Fight Caves.
Body	Bandos Chestplate	Big strength bonus, doesn’t break the bank.
Legs	Bandos Tassets	Matches the chestplate. Obsidian Legs if you’re strapped for cash.
Weapon	Dragon Hunter Lance	The star. Hits dragons hard, stacks with Salve.
Off-hand	Avernic Defender	Boosts accuracy and strength. Dragon Defender if you’re on a budget.
Gloves	Ferocious Gloves	Top-tier melee. Barrows Gloves work if you’re not there yet.
Boots	Primordial Boots	Strength boost. Dragon Boots are okay but weaker.
Ring	Berserker Ring (i)	More strength. Lightbearer’s cool for special attack regen.
Special Attack	Dragon Claws	Best spec for lowering Vorkath’s defence. Bandos Godsword’s cheaper.

Inventory Loadout

Your inventory’s gotta keep you alive and fighting. Here’s what I pack:

1 Extended Super Antifire (4): Stops dragonfire cold with Protect from Magic.
1 Anti-venom+ (4): Venom breath? No problem.
2-3 Divine Super Combat Potions (4): Pump up your Attack and Strength.
2-3 Prayer Potions (4): Keep Piety and Protect from Magic running.
Crumble Undead Runes: 15 casts via Rune Pouch (Dust, Chaos, Law).
1 Teleport to House: Zip back to your POH for restocks.
Food: 18-20 Manta Rays or Sharks, plus 2-3 Karambwans for combo eating.
Slayer’s Staff: For one-shotting the zombie spawn with Crumble Undead.

Quick Tip: If your Magic attack’s too low (like -65 in melee gear), swap to Slayer’s Staff or Bandos Godsword before casting Crumble Undead. Splashing’s embarrassing.

Strategy: Slay Vorkath Like a Champ

Vorkath’s fight is like a dance learn the moves, and you’re golden. Screw up, and you’re respawning in Lumby. Here’s how I crush it with the Dragon Hunter Lance.

Getting There

Teleport to Rellekka (Sea Boots, Lyre, or POH tele).
Chat with Torfinn at the docks to sail to Ungael.
Run in, wake Vorkath with a poke, and get ready to rumble.

Before You Fight

Gulp an Extended Super Antifire and Anti-venom+.
Sip a Divine Super Combat Potion to max your stats.
Turn on Protect from Magic and Piety.
Equip Dragon Claws or Bandos Godsword and land a special attack to soften Vorkath up.

The Fight Itself

Vorkath’s got six standard attacks and one special every seventh hit. Here’s how to handle ‘em:

Standard Attacks

Melee: Only hits if you’re close. With the Lance, you’re in melee range, but high Defence shrugs it off.
Ranged (Spiked Ball): Can smack for 32. Eat if you’re low, since Protect from Magic doesn’t help here.
Magic (Blue Projectile): Protect from Magic blocks this. Keep it on.
Dragonfire (Orange): Extended Super Antifire + Protect from Magic = no damage.
Venom (Green): Anti-venom+ has you covered.
Prayer Disable (Pink): Quick-pray Protect from Magic and Piety back on.
Deadly Fireball (Orange): Move two tiles when you see it coming. Don’t get one-shot!

Special Attacks

Every seventh attack, Vorkath switches things up:

Acid Pool Phase:
- He spits acid pools everywhere, then fires 25 dragonfire balls.
- Walk (don’t run!) across 5-6 clean tiles in a line to dodge. Running wastes energy and risks acid burns.
- Pro Move: Try the Woox Walk to keep attacking while dodging. It’s tough but ups your kills. YouTube it!
Zombie Spawn Phase:
- Vorkath freezes you and spawns a zombie that’ll explode for 60 damage if you don’t kill it.
- Swap to Slayer’s Staff, autocast Crumble Undead, and one-shot that zombie. Be fast!
- Low Magic bonus? Equip Bandos Godsword first to land the spell.

After the Kill

Grab your loot (skip unnoted dragonhides if inventory’s full).
Tele to your POH, hit the Ornate Rejuvenation Pool, restock, and go again.
With 90+ stats, expect 4-6 kills per trip. Practice makes perfect!

Quick Tip: On a Slayer Task (blue dragons or Vorkath), swap Salve Amulet (ei) for Slayer Helmet (i) for a 16.67% boost. Test both, see what slaps harder.

Profits: How Much GP We Talkin’?

Alright, the big question: how much bank you making? Based on my runs and 2025 GE prices, here’s the math for 30 kills/hour (34 if you’re a beast):

Item	Quantity	GE Price (2025)	Total Value
Superior Dragon Bones	60	21,540 GP	1,292,460 GP
Blue Dragonhide	148	1,618 GP	239,464 GP
Dragon Bolts (unf)	240	3,186 GP	764,640 GP
Rune Longsword	5	18,410 GP	92,050 GP
Rune Kiteshield	5	31,503 GP	157,515 GP
Other (Runes, Seeds, etc.)	Varies	~50k-100k per kill	1,500,000 GP
Total Output (30 kills)			4,686,967 GP

Costs

Supplies: ~532,455 GP/hour (Tuna Potatoes, Prayer Pots, Anti-venom+).
Gear Repairs: ~30k/hour (Bandos, Primordials).
Net Profit: ~4,154,512 GP/hour after tax and costs.

Hit a Draconic Visage (~23M) or Vorkath’s Head (~1M)? That’s a nice bonus. At 34 kills/hour, you could push 4.5M+ GP/hour. Chaotic, right?

Pro Tips to Max That GP

Wanna milk Vorkath dry? Here’s my secrets:

Check GE Prices: Use GE Tracker to buy low, sell high.
High Alchemy: Alch junk like Rune Longswords to stretch trips.
Slayer Task: More damage, plus Slayer XP. Why not?
Fast Banking: Fremennik Sea Boots 4 and a POH pool save time.
Woox Walk: Master it for more kills/hour. It’s a flex.

Is Vorkath Worth the Grind in 2025?

Pros:

Big GP: 3-4M+/hour, steady as a rock.
Fun Fight: Keeps you engaged without being a nightmare.
Scales Up: Better gear = more kills = more cash.

Cons:

High Entry: Dragon Slayer II and gear ain’t cheap.
Stay Sharp: One slip, and you’re out of food.
Crowded Worlds: Hop to quiet ones if it’s packed.

My Take: Vorkath with the Dragon Hunter Lance is a no-brainer for anyone with the stats and gear. It’s not as sweaty as some bosses, and the GP’s reliable. Whether you’re chasing a Twisted Bow or just want to flex on your clan, Vorkath delivers. So, grab your Lance, sail to Ungael, and start stacking that GP!
