Pest Control offers two types of rewards: Void Knight equipment and combat XP. Choose your goal before starting to plan efficiently.

Full Void Set (1 Helm)

The minimum Void set requires a Top (250), Robe (250), Gloves (150), and one Helm (200) — totaling 850 points. Most players start with the Ranged Helm for Vorkath and other bosses.

Full Void Set (All 3 Helms)

Adding all three helmets (Melee, Ranged, Mage) costs 1,250 points total. This provides maximum versatility for all combat styles.

Elite Void Upgrade

Elite Void requires the Western Provinces Hard Diary and 200 points per piece (Top + Robe = 400 points). It adds a +2.5% damage bonus and a Prayer bonus.

Combat XP Rewards

Points can be spent on combat XP instead of equipment. The XP scales with your combat level — higher levels receive more XP per point.

Prayer XP Rewards

Prayer XP is also available through Pest Control points. While less efficient than typical Prayer training methods, it's free and doesn't require bones or altars.

Points for Multiple Goals

Many players plan for full Void + Elite Void upgrade = 1,650+ points. Use this calculator to see exactly how many games that requires.

Novice Boat (40+ Combat)

Rewards 2 points per win with an average game duration of 3 minutes. Fastest games but fewest points. Suitable for low-level accounts building their first Void set.

Intermediate Boat (70+ Combat)

Rewards 3 points per win with an average game duration of 3.5 minutes. A balanced option for mid-level players.

Veteran Boat (100+ Combat)

Rewards 4 points per win with an average game duration of 4 minutes. The most efficient boat for high-level players — more points per hour despite slightly longer games.

Combat Achievements Bonus

Completing Combat Achievements tiers adds a percentage bonus to your point earnings: Easy (+10%), Medium (+15%), Hard (+20%), Elite (+25%). This significantly reduces grind time.

Win Rate Considerations

This calculator assumes 100% win rate. In practice, losses occur and award no points. Factor in approximately 5–15% loss rate depending on world population and player activity.

Peak Hours vs Off-Peak

Pest Control during peak hours (weekends, evenings) has faster queue times but more competition. Off-peak games may have longer waits between rounds.

Points Needed

The total Pest Control points remaining after subtracting your current balance. This is the primary metric driving all other estimates.

Games Required

Points needed divided by points per game. This assumes 100% win rate — factor in occasional losses for a more realistic estimate.

Estimated Time

Games required multiplied by average game duration. Includes game time only — add wait time between rounds for a more accurate total.

Points Per Hour

Your effective earning rate based on boat selection, game duration, and Combat Achievements bonus. Higher is better.

XP Potential

How much combat XP you could earn if you spent all points on XP instead of equipment. Useful for comparing reward value.

Current Progress

Your earned points as a percentage of your total point goal. Helps track how far along you are in the grind.

Ranged Helm First

The Void Ranged Helm provides a 10% accuracy and damage bonus, making it essential for Vorkath, Corporeal Beast, and other ranged-dependent bosses.

Melee Helm Second

Void Melee provides a 10% accuracy and damage bonus but is less universally useful than the Ranged Helm. Prioritize after unlocking the full ranged set.

Mage Helm Third

Void Mage provides a 45% accuracy bonus but only a modest damage increase. Useful for specific PvM scenarios but generally lower priority.

Elite Void Upgrade

Elite Void adds +2.5% damage and a Prayer bonus. Requires Western Provinces Hard Diary. Upgrade costs 200 points per piece (Top + Robe).

Insurance Points

After losing Void, you can reclaim from a Void Knight for 40% of the original cost. Keep some spare points for emergencies.

Loss Rate

Not every game is a win. On busy worlds, win rates average 85–95%. On quiet worlds, poor team composition can drop rates to 70–80%.

Wait Time Between Games

Add 1–2 minutes between games for queue/loading time. This reduces effective points per hour by 15–25%.

AFK vs Active Play

Active players help win games faster but require attention. Semi-AFK play risks losing games and earning zero points.

World Selection

World 344 (Veteran), World 371 (Intermediate), and World 376 (Novice) are the official Pest Control worlds with the fastest queues.

Minimum Damage Requirement

You must deal at least 50 damage per game to qualify for points. Low-level players should bring appropriate gear to meet this threshold.

• Playing on the wrong boat — Always use the highest boat available for maximum points per hour.
• Not meeting the 50 damage minimum — Bring appropriate gear. Failing to contribute means earning zero points.
• Ignoring Combat Achievements bonuses — Even Easy tier adds 10% bonus points, significantly reducing grind time.
• Playing during off-peak hours — Fewer players means longer queue times and potentially lower win rates.
• Not insuring Void equipment — Dying in PvP without insured Void means re-grinding hundreds of points.
• Spending points inefficiently — Plan your exact point budget before starting. Buying one helm at a time avoids point wastage.

Maximize Points Per Hour

Use the Veteran boat with Combat Achievements Elite tier for up to 5 points per game (75 points/hour). This is the absolute maximum earning rate.

Strategic Gear Choices

Bring a halberd for portal damage and AoE clearing. A Dragon Halberd with Strength gear maximizes contribution and speeds up games.

Team Coordination

Coordinated teams win faster. Assign portal priorities, gate management, and spinner killing for maximum efficiency.

Multi-Goal Planning

If you need full Void + Elite, calculate the total points upfront (1,650+) and plan your sessions accordingly to avoid burnout.

XP vs Equipment Decision

Combat XP from Pest Control is inefficient compared to Slayer or NMZ. Only use XP rewards for specific account builds (e.g., Defence-only training).

Long-Term Session Planning

Break the grind into 2–3 hour sessions. Full Void takes approximately 14 hours — spread across a week to maintain motivation.
