As general advice for this event it is recommended to have a handheld calculator handy (or if anyone wants to create a script for this, that would be appreciated) to calculate the HP threshold needed to auto-eat through different attacks on the fly. This can be quickly calculated by taking the monster's most threatening attacks and simply dividing by 0.4. For example, one of {{MonsterIcon|Bane|Bane's}} attacks with a maximum hit of 324 would be able to be safely auto-eaten through as long as the player's maximum HP is above 810 (324/0.4 = 810). Once the affliction stacks accumulate and your HP drops below 810, you will have to manually eat to stay safe during these types of attacks. Multi-attacks are especially dangerous at this point, as the only safe threshold for these moves is N-times their maximum hit (i.e. double the max for a 2-hit move, triple for a 3-hit move, etc). There aren't many high-damaging multi-hit moves, but there are a few which will be detailed in the respective sections. | As general advice for this event it is recommended to have a handheld calculator handy (or if anyone wants to create a script for this, that would be appreciated) to calculate the HP threshold needed to auto-eat through different attacks on the fly.

As for actual gear, the items required are relatively simple. {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} requires a specific setup to get maximum negation, but the remainder of the zones and {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} himself don't require anything special. Throughout almost all of this entire event you will utilise one protection prayer alongside {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}}. {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} works equally well with all styles which makes prayer switching easier, and the DR & minimum hit contribute nicely towards your DPS. In certain situations where accuracy is low, {{PrayerIcon|Rigour}} and {{PrayerIcon|Sharp Vision}} can prove to be higher DPS (as {{ItemIcon|Shockwave}} has the most infrequent special attack, increasing its reliance on accuracy compared to the other weapons), but this shouldn't be necessary in order to complete the event. | As for actual gear, the items required are relatively simple. {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} requires a specific setup to get maximum negation, but the remainder of the zones and {{MonsterIcon|Bane}} himself don't require anything special.

{{Skill|Ranged}} is quite strong and shouldn't have any troubles pulling its weight this event. Stick to the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}} and upgrade once you unlock {{ItemIcon|Shield of Ranged Power}} after the second encounter with {{MonsterIcon|Bane}}. {{ItemIcon|Jadestone Bolts}} are non-negotiable as they offer a substantial DPS increase and the main threat in this event is being out-DPS'd. You won't need many for the event, only a few thousand. This can be easily accumulated in around 2 hours of {{MonsterIcon|Hunting Greater Dragon}} farming. | {{Skill|Ranged}} is quite strong and shouldn't have any troubles pulling its weight during this event.

The lethal move from {{MonsterIcon|Cursed Lich}} to watch out for is her cursed flames. This is a single-hit ability, so eat whenever your HP drops below around 400 to stay safe. With {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Magic}} active, affliction stacks should not accumulate enough to make cursed frost shards or cursed tether a death threat. | The lethal move from {{MonsterIcon|Cursed Lich}} to watch out for is her cursed flames.
