* Rewards from [[Golbin Raid]] have no impact on the completion log, except the {{PetIcon|Golden Golbin}} pet.
* Rewards from [[Golbin Raid]] have no impact on the completion log, except the {{PetIcon|Golden Golbin}} pet. However, the pet can be earned outside of Golbin Raid.
* The only exclusive rewards outside of the Golbin Raid itself are the two unique pets ({{PetIcon|Preston the Platypus|Preston}} and {{PetIcon|Jerry the Giraffe|Jerry}}), and a {{ItemIcon|Yellow Party Hat}} which are [[Unlisted Items|unlisted]] in the completion log, but will be added if unlocked.
* The only exclusive rewards outside of the Golbin Raid itself are the two unique pets ({{PetIcon|Preston the Platypus|Preston}} and {{PetIcon|Jerry the Giraffe|Jerry}}), and a {{ItemIcon|Yellow Party Hat}} which are [[Unlisted Items|unlisted]] in the completion log, but will be added if unlocked.
* All limited purchase [[Golbin_Raid#Shop|upgrades]] will cost a total of {{RC|1725000}}. This amount can be gathered in a single run by reaching wave 380 on easy difficulty, 300 on normal, or 264 on hard.
* Infinite raid coins through skipping to a point where you earn more coins than you spend is possible. This can be achieved through the maximum Reduce Wave Skip Cost (at 50% reduction),
**{{RC|17077500}}, and skipping past wave 825 on Easy
**{{RC|4131000}}, and skipping past wave 405 on Normal
**{{RC|1842750}}, and skipping past wave 270 on Hard


All limited purchase [[Golbin_Raid#Shop|upgrades]] will totally cost 1,145,000 [[Golbin_Raid#Raid_Coins|raid coins]]. This can be done by finishing wave 280 once, or by repeatedly do shorter runs.
=== Shop Upgrades ===
 
The upgrades below are presented in rough order of importance, with the most important appearing first.
Infinite raid coins through skipping to a point where you earn more coins than you spend is possible. This can be achieved through a maxed out  Reduce Wave Skip Cost (thus 50% price reduction), 6,138,000 [[Golbin_Raid#Raid_Coins|raid coins]], and skipping past wave 495.

Lifesteal is incredibly effective at keeping players above the auto-eat threshold with a top-tier special attack. It does not guarantee survival, though. With the same lifesteal%, flat damage special attacks will heal a smaller percentage of overall health at higher waves.

Bosses are the red golbins at the end of every 10th wave. Like normal golbins, they may have a special effect that modifies their stats, potentially buffing their maximum hit. In the later waves, a boss with a style that the player is weak to and a +maximum hit modifier could '''kill you in a single hit'''.

For difficult bosses, use your maximum damage spell, Surge II, and spam eat (be careful holding enter over clicking as you may automatically swap weapons after killing the boss). Possibly delay eating if still above the maximum hit threshold to maximise damage.

Also use {{Skill|Prayer}} on difficult bosses.


Around wave 240 the bosses become exceptionally tough. Turn on {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} before the boss. Have the dodge prayer on for the style you are weak to ({{PrayerIcon|Protect from Ranged}} for magic users), but be ready to swap before the first boss attack if it is a different style.
{{Skill|Prayer}} is best used on difficult bosses. Around wave 240 the bosses become exceptionally tough. Turn on {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} before the boss. Have the protection prayer on for the style you are weak to (For example, {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Ranged}} for magic users), but be ready to swap before the first boss attack if they are using a different style.


Ensure you have ample resources before a difficult boss wave, as a dangerous boss can drain lots of food and runes.
