Recommended Gear

Melee

Meleeing is the most common way to kill grotworms, as they have a very low crush and low stab defence and mediocre slash defence. However, grotworms will immediately launch a magic attack at anyone charging them, making magic protection prayers an option to consider when not at close range. Nevertheless, they are fairly easy to kill using melee and good stats. Considering their damage output they are one of the less difficult enemies in their level grouping. Using soul split, one could heal and stay as long as prayer potion supply allows. Using Guthan's is also a very good way to heal for longer trips, using little or no food. 80+ combat level is recommended although 90+ is ideal for maximum efficiency. A Guthan's set, Saradomin godsword or an Enchanted excalibur could be a useful healing option.

Inventory

  • 16-20 pieces high-level food.
  • Super or greater potion sets (optional for faster/ more efficient killing)
  • Emergency teleport
  • Beast of burden pouch
    • If using a BoB pouch, fill at least half of the inventory with food unless using anything below a Bull ant.
  • High Level Alchemy runes (optional); Alching Rune drops makes for a better profit than selling and reduces bank trips.

Prayer

Inventory

A decent prayer boosting setup.

A third possibility is a bit more flexible, and is an extremely effective method when off-task. Using the Elite Void Knight equipment increases the kill rate significantly, allows for near the same tanking ability as fights in Black dragonhide armour, while sustaining a significant prayer bonus for Piety/Turmoil. The set required for this setup can be further optimized by either using Dragon defender with Void gloves to increase attack or using Void deflector with Barrows Gloves/Goliath Gloves to increase strength bonus.

Ranged

Ranging is a safe way to deal with these grotworms. Their magic attack has a short attack range, similar to Waterfiends, allowing players to use safespots in their lair, as long as the grotworms cannot move around obstructions. Few safespots exist, however, and even with good magic defence, they can still hit hard, so this is only recommended for those with high ranged and/or magic levels, or those who do not mind using Prayer potions for Protect from Magic. At 70 Ranged, most shots will hit, and the grotworms' drops make training Ranged profitable, even after buying ammo and Prayer potions.

Inventory

  • 12-14 Prayer potions (optional)
  • Few piece high healing foods.
  • Emergency teleport
  • 2-3 Ranging potions.
  • Beast of burden pouch
    • If using a BoB, fill it with a quarter or a third of items it can hold, as you will not be taking as much damage as needed.
  • Fire and Nature runes (optional, but recommended): Casting High Alchemy on Rune drops makes for a better profit than selling and reduces bank trips. A Staff of fire (or equivalent) is usable but not advised, as using Fire runes allows you to alchemize during combat.
  • It is currently very hard for a legitimate player to kill Mature Grotworms due to the large number of bots currently there.
