The Revenant Caves are one of Old School RuneScape’s most profitable—but also most dangerous—money-making locations. Nestled deep in the Wilderness, the Rev Caves offer incredible loot from revenant monsters, ancient artifacts, and unique drops. But with that profit comes a constant threat: PKers. Whether solo players, duos, or full clans, PKers roam the caves hunting down PvMers for easy loot. To thrive here, you must balance survival, high GP rates, and strategic awareness.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know about earning huge money in the Rev Caves while minimizing risk, avoiding PKers, and escaping with your profits intact.

Understanding the Rev Caves Environment

The Revenant Caves are a multi-combat zone in levels 17–40 Wilderness. You can be attacked by multiple players at once, which makes it a hotspot for PK clans. Because of its structure, chokepoints, and numerous escape routes, your survival depends on knowing the terrain.

There are two entrances:

Level 17 Wilderness Entrance – Safer and closer to escape options

Level 40 Wilderness Entrance – Riskier but closer to high-value revenants

If your goal is consistent GP with fewer interruptions, the level 17 entrance should be your default entry point.

Best Gear Setup for Surviving PKers

You must balance DPS with low-risk equipment. Over-investing increases your loot potential but paints a giant target on your back.

Recommended Low-Risk Setup

Melee Setup:

Helm: Neitiznot Faceguard / Serpentine (riskier)

Weapon: Vigora’s Chainmace (charged) – the meta weapon

Body: Black d’hide body

Legs: Black d’hide chaps

Boots: Dragon boots

Ammunition: Not needed unless using range

Cape: Ava’s Accumulator or God Cape

Necklace: Amulet of Glory (for Wilderness teleport)

Ring: Ring of Wealth (i) or Berserker ring (cheap variant)

Food: Sharks or Karambwans

Potions: Super combats / Anti-poison / Stamina

Why This Works

Black d’hide gives excellent magic defense.

Glory allows instant teleport escape when below level 30 Wilderness.

Chainmace melts revenants, making kills fast and profitable.

The setup keeps your potential loss manageable if you die.

Optional High-Risk, High-Reward Setup

If you’re skilled and confident:

Torva pieces

Amulet of Fury / Torture

Infernal Cape

Ring of Suffering

Dragon Claws for escape or KO potential

This setup greatly increases DPS but puts a massive bounty on your head. Only experienced players should attempt this.

How to Avoid PKers in the Rev Caves

This is the most important section if you want to survive long enough to make money.

1. Use Sound and Keep Focus

PKers rely on surprise. Wearing headphones and keeping your screen centered increases reaction time dramatically.

2. Scout Before Entering

Log into a low-population world first. If you’re in a clan, use alternate accounts to scout both entrances.

3. Always Keep Your Prayer Up

Protect from Magic should be your default prayer—most PKers start with freezes.

4. Watch for Level Differences

If you’re level 100 and see level 120+ footprints on the minimap, leave immediately.

5. Bring a One-Click Teleport

Best options:

Royal Seed Pod

Amulet of Glory

Falador/Varrock tele-tab

The seed pod is ideal because it works up to level 30 Wilderness and does not require a cast.

6. Use the Caves’ Layout to Your Advantage

There are pillars, corners, and choke points where you can break line-of-sight and spam a teleport.

7. Hop Worlds Frequently

If something feels off or if PKer activity spikes, world-hop before the danger reaches you.

How to Profit Efficiently from Revenants

Revenants drop unique ancient emblems and artifacts. Your GP rate depends on kill speed and consistency.

Best Revenants to Farm

Revenant Ork – Great GP/hr; consistent drops

Revenant Knight – Higher damage but exceptional profit

Revenant Dark Beast – Good for mid-level players

Revenant Dragon – High risk, high reward

Avoid the Dragon unless you are prepared to defend yourself from PKers—it is a magnet for hunters.

Expected Profits

In an average setup:

400k–1.2M GP/hr in low-risk setups

1.5M–2.5M GP/hr in high-risk setups

Up to 3M+ GP/hr during peak activity with chainmace and good drops

Using the Bracelet of Ethereum

The Bracelet of Ethereum absorbs revenant damage and keeps you safe. It must be charged with revenant ether, but the benefit is huge:

Revenants become non-aggressive

You take far less damage

Even if you’re skilling, never enter the Rev Caves without one.

Best Escape Techniques

When you see a PKer:

1. Immediately Protect from Magic

Freeze spells are their opener.

2. Run Toward the Level 17 Exit

It’s the fastest escape route for 90% of situations.

3. Step Under the PKer

If they try to freeze you, move under them to force re-clicking.

4. Use Doors and Corners

Breaking line-of-sight gives you a free teleport window.

5. Use Prayer Flicking to Reduce Damage

Especially when frozen, reduce damage by flicking Protect prayers.

Survival is about creating even one second of opportunity to teleport.

Final Tips for Long-Term Profit

Use a loot tracker plugin (RuneLite)

Bring only what you can afford to lose

Never stay in one world for too long

Study PKer patterns—same clans rotate worlds repeatedly

Don’t panic: calm players escape far more often

The Revenant Caves combine extreme danger with some of the best OSRS GP/hr. With the right gear, smart scouting, quick escapes, and solid combat strategy, you can farm revenants safely and walk away with millions in loot. PKers will always be a threat, but with preparation and awareness, you can turn the Rev Caves into one of your most reliable money-making methods in the game.
