Introduction
If you play Old School RuneScape, you have probably heard players talk about Elite Void. It is an upgraded version of the Void Knight equipment from the Pest Control minigame — better looking, with extra prayer bonus and more damage.
In this guide, I will show you exactly how to upgrade Void to Elite Void: what you need first, how many points it costs, and where to go.
Direct Answer: How Do You Upgrade Void to Elite?
In OSRS, you upgrade Void to Elite Void by completing the hard Western Provinces Diary, then speaking to the Elite Void Knight at the Void Knights’ Outpost. Bring your regular Void Knight top and robe, plus 200 commendation points for each piece (400 points total). Only the top and robe can be upgraded — helmets and gloves stay the same.
What Is Elite Void?
Elite Void Knight equipment is the upgraded form of regular Void Knight equipment. It is a reward from the Pest Control minigame, just like normal Void — but better.
The elite set has two pieces: the elite void top and the elite void robe. You wear them with your normal Void helmets and gloves to complete the set.
Here is what makes Elite Void better than regular Void:
- Extra prayer bonus. Each elite piece gives +3 prayer bonus, for +6 total. Regular Void gives none.
- More ranged damage. The elite ranged set gives an extra 2.5% damage on top of the normal Void bonus.
- More magic damage. The elite magic set gives an extra 5% damage on top of the normal Void bonus.
- Same defence. Defence stats are identical to regular Void, so you lose nothing.
- New look. Elite Void has a darker, fancier appearance that shows off your achievement.
Because it costs no gold — only Pest Control points — Elite Void is one of the best value upgrades in the game. It is widely used in raids, bossing, and PvP.
Requirements: What You Need First
Before you can upgrade, you need two things: the regular Void gear and the diary done.
1. Regular Void Knight Equipment
You must already own the Void Knight top (250 points) and Void Knight robe (250 points), bought with Pest Control commendation points. A full basic Void set with one helmet costs 850 points; with all three helmets plus the elite upgrade, the grand total is 1,650 points.
2. Hard Western Provinces Diary Completed
You cannot upgrade until you finish the hard Western Provinces Diary. It has tough requirements: high skills (70 Cooking, 70 Mining, 70 Ranged, 75 Thieving, and more), quests including Swan Song, killing the boss Zulrah, and 300 chompy bird kills. Most players find the diary takes longer than the Pest Control grind itself.
3. Stats to Wear It
Elite Void needs 42 Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Ranged, and Magic, plus 22 Prayer — the same as regular Void.
How to Upgrade Void to Elite: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Earn Your Regular Void Set
Play Pest Control at the Void Knights’ Outpost (boat from Port Sarim or a Pest Control teleport). Win games to earn commendation points, then buy the Void Knight top and robe. The official world is 344, and on the veteran boat a basic set takes roughly 8 to 10 hours.
Step 2: Complete the Hard Western Provinces Diary
Finish every task in the hard Western Provinces Diary and claim your rewards from the Elder Gnome Child in the Gnome Stronghold. This unlocks the upgrade.
Step 3: Earn 400 More Commendation Points
Return to Pest Control and earn 200 points for the top and 200 for the robe — 400 total, about 3 to 4 hours on the veteran boat.
Step 4: Upgrade at the Elite Void Knight
Find the Elite Void Knight near the bank at the Void Knights’ Outpost, with your regular top and robe in your inventory. Upgrade each piece for 200 points. Your regular pieces are consumed and replaced with the elite versions. Done!
Tips for Getting Elite Void Faster
- Use the veteran boat (100+ combat needed) — it gives the most points per win.
- Play on world 344 — the official world, so games start faster.
- Do the diary in parallel — do not wait until you have full Void to start diary tasks.
- Store it in your POH — Elite Void fits in the armour case of your costume room, saving bank space.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to upgrade without the diary. The Elite Void Knight will not offer the upgrade until the hard Western Provinces Diary is fully complete.
- Thinking helmets upgrade too. Only the top and robe have elite versions — helmets and gloves stay the same.
- Forgetting your gear. You must carry the regular top and robe when you talk to the Elite Void Knight, since the upgrade consumes them.
Is Elite Void Worth It?
Yes, for most players. The extra damage and +6 prayer bonus shine in raids like Chambers of Xeric and the Theatre of Blood, at bosses like Vorkath and Zulrah, and in PvP. The hard diary is the real gate — if you already have it done, the upgrade is a no-brainer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you upgrade the Void helmets to elite?
No. Only the Void Knight top and Void Knight robe can be upgraded. The helmets, gloves, and mace have no elite versions — you keep using the standard ones.
Do you lose your regular Void when upgrading?
Yes. The upgrade consumes your regular Void Knight top and robe and replaces them with the elite versions. Make sure you are ready before you confirm.
How many Pest Control points does Elite Void cost in total?
The upgrade itself costs 400 points (200 per piece). If you are starting from nothing and want a full set with all three helmets plus the elite upgrade, you need 1,650 points in total.
Can Ironmen get Elite Void?
Yes. Ironmen earn Pest Control points and complete diaries like anyone else, so Elite Void is fully available to them.
Where is the Elite Void Knight?
He stands near the bank at the Void Knights’ Outpost, the island where you play Pest Control. Reach it by boat from Port Sarim or with a Pest Control teleport.
Does Elite Void work with the set effect?
Yes. Elite Void counts as Void Knight equipment, so wearing the elite top and robe with a Void helmet and gloves gives the full set bonuses plus the elite extras.
Conclusion
Upgrading Void to Elite Void is one of the best upgrades in OSRS. Finish the hard Western Provinces Diary, earn 400 commendation points, and trade your regular top and robe to the Elite Void Knight at the Void Knights’ Outpost.
The +6 prayer bonus and extra damage make it worth every hour of Pest Control. Start your diary tasks today, and you will be wearing Elite Void before you know it. Good luck!
