Budget Cutter is a master combat achievement which requires the player to kill Vardorvis in combat equipment worth under 2,000,000.

Strategy

edit

The achievement requires both the player's Worn Equipment and inventory to be under 2,000,000. This includes food and potions but does not include the price of runes in a rune pouch. If the item is untradeable, its value will be used instead. Note that this is not the case for the Slayer helmet or imbued items; the value of its components will be used instead. By opening the Items Kept on Death interface and selecting "PK Skull active", the player can see the total guide risk value of their setup; note that items with tradeable ornament kits or a Trouver parchment attached to it may increase its value without it being visible in the interface.

The game will not tell players whether they've failed the achievement, and will simply give no completion message upon killing Vardorvis, so checking that the total value is valid before starting the fight is recommended.

The player should use a fairly cheap, but strong slash-based weapon, such as a dragon scimitar or Saradomin sword.

Equipment

edit

As prices fluctuate, it may be worth using lower tier items to remain below 2,000,000.

  1. ^ Only while on a Slayer task.
  2. ^ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 Items that have been locked are considered by the game to be more expensive than their normal versions.
  3. ^ Decently high accuracy spec, guaranteed minimum burn damage on hit makes it useful for lowering hitpoints at the start to reduce defence
  4. ^ 4.0 4.1 Due to Vardorvis having higher defence at the start, use when Vardorvis has low health.
