Avernic treads

“A finely crafted pair of boots.”

The Avernic treads are a high-end pair of boots from the Varlamore content, requiring 80 Strength, 80 Defence, 80 Magic and 80 Ranged to wear. They're the best all-round boot in the game: in their base form they beat the primordial, eternal and pegasian boots on accuracy and most defensive bonuses while also adding a ranged strength bonus — so a single pair covers melee, Ranged and Magic instead of swapping three style-specific boots. They're a drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl delve boss and trade on the Grand Exchange, and can later be combined with the three pegasian/primordial/eternal boots to become best-in-slot for every style.

Equipment bonuses

The treads are a true all-rounder: positive attack bonuses in every style, strong defence across the board, a +4 strength bonus, +2 ranged strength and +1% magic damage — the kind of mixed offence no other boot offers at once.

How to get the Avernic treads

The Avernic treads drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl, the game's first delve boss, fought in the Ruins of Mokhaiotl beneath the Tlati Rainforest in Varlamore. You reach it through The Final Dawn quest. Each time you beat the boss it burrows deeper, and pushing it to higher “delve levels” raises both the difficulty and your reward odds. The treads only drop on delve level 4 and deeper, with a drop chance that improves the further down you go. Most players simply buy them on the Grand Exchange rather than grinding the delve.

Avernic treads drop rate (scales with delve depth)
Delve levelDrop chance
4 (first possible)~1 in 1,350
Deepest delves~1 in 540
No treads drop below delve level 4. The rate scales smoothly between these endpoints — the deeper you delve, the better the odds. Source: OSRS Wiki.
Upgrade to best-in-slot — the Avernic treads (max): combine the base treads with the primordial, pegasian and eternal boots plus 4,000 demon tears each (12,000 total). Primordial adds +2 melee strength, pegasian +1 ranged strength and eternal +1% magic damage, making the max version the best boot for all three combat styles. The upgraded boots are untradeable, so there's no Grand Exchange price for them — the price above is for the base treads.

Avernic treads FAQ

What level do you need for Avernic treads?
You need 80 Strength, 80 Defence, 80 Magic and 80 Ranged all at once to wear them. They're a high-requirement boot aimed at mid-to-late-game accounts that have trained all four combat skills.
How do you get the Avernic treads?
They drop from the Doom of Mokhaiotl, a delve boss in the Ruins of Mokhaiotl beneath the Tlati Rainforest in Varlamore (unlocked through The Final Dawn quest). The treads only drop once you complete delve level 4 or deeper — or just buy them off the Grand Exchange.
What is the Avernic treads drop rate?
It's a scaling rate of roughly 1/1,350 at delve 4, improving to about 1/540 at the deepest delves — the further down you push the boss, the better the odds. See the drop-rate note above.
Are the Avernic treads best-in-slot?
In base form they're the best all-round boot — they beat the primordial, eternal and pegasian boots on accuracy and most defence and add ranged strength. But the primordial boots still have slightly more melee strength, and the aranea boots have a prayer bonus the treads lack, so the base treads aren't strictly best for every single stat. Once upgraded (see below) they become best-in-slot for all three combat styles.
How do you upgrade the Avernic treads?
You combine the base treads with the primordial, pegasian and eternal boots plus demon tears4,000 tears per pair, 12,000 in total. Primordial adds +2 melee strength, pegasian adds +1 ranged strength and eternal adds +1% magic damage. The result is the Avernic treads (max).
Are the upgraded Avernic treads (max) tradeable?
No — the Avernic treads (max) are untradeable, so there's no Grand Exchange price for the finished boots. The live price above is for the base treads. To get the max version you have to assemble it yourself from the three boots, the base treads and 12,000 demon tears.
Avernic treads vs primordial boots — which is better?
For pure melee strength the primordial boots still edge ahead by a sliver. For everything else the Avernic treads win — better accuracy, better defence, and they also give Ranged and Magic bonuses, so one pair replaces all three style boots. Most players run the treads as their default and only upgrade them to fold the primordial strength back in.
How much are the Avernic treads worth?
They're one of the most valuable boots in the game — see the live Grand Exchange price and history above. As a recent Varlamore drop, supply is still limited relative to demand, which keeps the price high.
