::companions - list your roster (names, combat levels, current order).
::companion &lt;train|follow|deploy|return&gt; [slot] - set orders: train (auto-fight to level up), follow (guard you), deploy (independent offense), return (recall).
::companion equip &lt;slot&gt; &lt;itemId&gt; / unequip - gear them from your bank (they have their own equipment).

Companions persist between sessions and respawn if they fall. They're a force multiplier for PvM and a head start in the war.

Check yours with ::pkstats - lifetime kills, deaths, K/D and an Elo rating (everyone starts at 1000). Beating higher-Elo players gains you more; the website Hiscores has live Top Kills / Deaths / K/D / Elo tabs.
Kills against practice bots don't count - the ladder is genuine PvP only. Climb it and your name sits at the top of the realm.

Safe core (Lumbridge &amp; around) - always safe.
Contested frontier (town borders, west &amp; east) - PvP on, but capped at level 10.
Main wilderness - north of the core, getting deeper (and higher level) the further you go (up to ~56).
East Lumbridge PK pocket - an isolated single-combat duel spot, no level cap.

Rules of engagement: attacking first skulls you (30 min) and drops your loot penalty to −25%. On death you drop everything except your 3 most valuable items (prayer/magic gear is auto-kept). Single-combat zones are 1v1; multi zones allow piling. Your combat level ± the wilderness level sets who can attack you.

Here's the efficient early loop:

Goblins &amp; the Goblin Warren - fast coins from day one (Generals drop 2-4k).
War contracts from Vannaka - coins + War Effort; the streak bonus rewards consistency.
Mining → Smithing → Supply Depot - train two skills and sell the bars for War Effort.
Claim the daily bonus first (150 WE) so everything else earns more.

Reinvest coins into ranks (Duke Horacio) - better armour opens better content, and Lord+ opens boss raids, which is where the real loot is.

WE earned today
XP bonus
Drop bonus




0-39

0%


40-79
+5%
+3%


80-149
+10%
+5%


150+
+15%

It resets at midnight UTC. The takeaway: knock out a few contracts and supply deliveries early, and the rest of your day's grinding is boosted. (Note: the bonus applies to XP and drops, not to War Effort itself.)

Cooked food: Shrimp (1 WE) → Shark (8 WE)
Potions (any dose): Attack (3 WE) → Super combat (10 WE)
Bars: Bronze (1 WE) → Rune (12 WE)

So a mining/smithing session doesn't just train Smithing - every bar is War Effort waiting to be claimed. Cook, brew or smith, then deliver.

See them all with ::points.

War Effort - the main one. Earned from Slayer/war contracts, supply deliveries and boss kills; spent at the Slayer/war shops. Also drives the daily bonus (see that guide).
Boss points - +10 per boss kill (shop coming).
Vote points - from voting (claiming coming soon).
Prestige - awarded for sponsoring boss summons.
Donor points - from supporting the server.

Coins (and Blood Money for PvP) remain normal tradeable items.

Combat contracts - kill a set number of an assigned NPC (rats, goblins, spiders, skeletons, demons, dragons…).
Resource contracts - gather an assigned resource (ore, fish, logs, herbs), unlocked as your skills grow.

Reward: a base of 8 War Effort, +4 for every 5-contract streak (so your 6th contract pays 12, your 11th pays 16…). Check your task with ::slayer.
Slayer reward shop (spend War Effort): Shark (4), Prayer pot (8), Super att/str/def (6 each), Super combat (20), Rune scimitar (30), Rune full helm (25), Amulet of power (20).

Hill Giants (6) - 100-250 coins
Ogres (4) - 250-600 coins
General Bentnoze (boss) - 2,000-4,000 coins
General Wartface (boss) - 2,000-4,000 coins

The population is continuously managed (no single-kill respawn timer), so there's always something to fight. Great for funding your first few ranks.

Campaigns (Minister+) - ::campaign [city] marches a column to a hostile city (currently Varrock), breaks its garrison, and seizes loot. Every contributor splits the war-chest.
Conquest (King) - ::conquest [city] is the full-army version: larger forces, bigger payout.

The Corporeal Beast

Cost to summon: 3,000,000 coins · HP: 1,200 · spawns near Lumbridge (3247, 3319).
Loot is by damage % - everyone who hits it shares the drop. The sponsor takes a 10% tithe and is guaranteed one rare (MVP rule).
Rare table: Spirit shield, Holy elixir, Rune platebody/legs, Dragon med helm, Battlestaff, Dragon dagger, Rune scimitar.
Mega-rares (rolled independently for each contributor):

Arcane / Spectral / Elysian Sigil - 1/150 each
Blessed Spirit Shield - 1/120
Draconic Visage - 1/200
Corporeal pet - 1/700


Coin drop 20k-45k, plus Boss points (25 sponsor / 10 each) and Prestige.

Bring friends - more damage dealt means more rolls on the table.

There are three tiers, unlocked by your feudal rank:

RAID (Lord+) - summon a boss to your city and bring an escort squad.
CAMPAIGN (Minister+) - field a column of allied troops that breaks a city's frontier garrison and seizes a cut of its loot.
CONQUEST (King) - a full army assault for the biggest prizes.

Loot is split by contribution. Everyone who deals damage in a raid/campaign earns a share of the captured war-chest (coins, gear, supplies) proportional to the damage they did. Sponsors who pay to start the fight earn a tithe on top.
Read the rank, troop and boss guides below to start leading.

RANK - Take your goblin coins to Duke Horacio in the Lumbridge market and claim your first feudal rank.
SLAY - Get a contract from Vannaka (south side of the market) - your first is always 5 rats.

Steel armour pieces at each milestone → a full steel kit on completion.
50 War Effort - enough to start qualifying for the daily XP/drop bonus.
