OSRS Guides
Comprehensive guides to help you master Old School RuneScape
About OSRS Tips Guides
OSRS Tips is your go-to resource for Old School RuneScape guides, written by a player with 20 years of experience in the game. Whether you're a brand new adventurer or a seasoned veteran chasing 99s, our guides cover everything from beginner basics to end-game bossing. Every guide is written to be clear, practical, and straight to the point.
What you will find here
Every guide is written to get you from "I want to do this" to actually doing it, without the padding. That usually means requirements first, the route or setup second, and the numbers you care about — XP, gp, time — stated plainly rather than buried.
Money making
Methods sorted by what they actually require, from zero-requirement starts for a fresh account through to methods that need stats behind them. Rates are given per hour with the assumptions spelled out, because a number without its assumptions is not much use.
Skilling and AFK training
The fastest way to a level is not always the one you should pick. These guides cover the trade-off between XP rate, cost and attention — including which methods genuinely let you do something else while they run.
Ironman
Gear and unlocks that a main would simply buy. These walk the acquisition route instead: where the item comes from, what it needs, and whether the detour is worth taking at your stage of the account.
Quests, bosses and minigames
Step-by-step walkthroughs with the requirements up front, plus what the completion actually unlocks. Boss guides cover the mechanics you need to survive rather than every possible strategy.
How these guides are written
Rates and requirements are checked against the live game, and guides carry the date the information was last verified rather than the date the page was last saved — those are different things, and only one of them is useful to you.
Anything involving drops or random rewards is given as an average over many attempts. Your session can land either side of it. Where a method has a matching calculator, the guide links to it so you can run your own numbers instead of trusting a rate that was measured on someone else's account.
If something here no longer matches the game, the game is right — let us know and it gets fixed.
