Old School RS remains a beloved game for many, and over the years, numerous tools, tips, and tricks have emerged to enhance the gameplay experience. Today, I’m excited to share some invaluable tips and plugins that can significantly improve your efficiency and enjoyment in OSRS.
Practice with Simulators
For those tackling challenging content like the Coliseum or the Inferno, simulators with full 3D models and assets available in your web browser can be a game-changer. These simulators provide a realistic practice environment, making you feel as if you’re engaging in the actual fight. They are incredibly beneficial for mastering the mechanics and preparing for obtaining that coveted OSRS Infernal Cape.
Essential RuneLite Plugins
RuneLite, the third-party client for OSRS, offers numerous plugins that can make your gameplay smoother and more efficient. Here are some must-have plugins:
Bank Enhancements
- Control+F Shortcut: Did you know you can press Control+F in your bank to find specific items? You can even use greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols to search by value. For example, searching for ">5m" will show only items worth more than 5 million OSRS gold.
Quality of Life Plugins
- No Use Player: This plugin prevents you from using items on other players, which is especially handy during activities like farm runs, birdhouse runs, or mini-games.
- Monkey Metrics: This plugin is useful during burstable Slayer tasks as it shows you how many NPCs are stacked on a tile. If more than 9 NPCs are stacked, your bursting spells won't damage the extra monsters.
- Action Progress: This plugin displays the original RuneScape action bar and indicates how much time is left before your inventory is completed. It’s particularly useful for skills like Crafting, Herblore, and Fletching, allowing you to prepare your next inventory efficiently.
Inventory Management
- Dude Where is My Stuff: This plugin helps you keep track of all the items you have in various locations such as your bank, minigames, bosses, death coffer, and leprechauns. It’s a massive time-saver, especially for those with multiple accounts. You can easily check quantities of items like prayer potions or Barbarian Assault points without leaving your current activity.
Mid-Game Gear Upgrade
Bloodbark Armor
Bloodbark armor is a magic armor set that you should consider for your mid-game account. Many guides recommend Mystic armor, but Bloodbark, after its recent buff, is superior. It offers better defensive stats than Mystic and Void, making tanking easier. It also amplifies Blood Spells, which is excellent for raids, and has higher accuracy. Combined with the Ancient Scepter, it can heal you for almost 40% of the damage dealt. This setup can be a game-changer for tasks like Dust Devils, allowing you to heal significantly from combat.
Profitable Money-Making Tips
Jewelry Reselling
One lucrative method involves reselling jewelry in Prifddinas. You can buy items like diamond bracelets from the Grand Exchange for around 2,000 GP each and sell them to the Prifddinas shop for 2,600 OSRS GP each. This method can yield around 5.5 million GP per hour with minimal requirements. Although it requires patience to buy the jewelry in bulk, the profit margins are significant.
Huntsman Kit and Implings
The Huntsman kit, introduced with the Hunter skill, allows you to store infinite amounts of Impling items, which can be banked from anywhere. This is particularly useful for long tasks or remote locations like the God Wars Dungeon or Kraken. To collect Implings efficiently, the Kourend Woodland offers a fast spawn rate and can yield over 100,000 Hunter XP per hour. This method provides a convenient way to bank loot during extended activities.
Prayer Training Tips
Efficient Prayer Training with Bone Shards
If you’re aiming for 99 Prayer, consider using bone shards in Great Kourend. For Ironman players, there's an infinite stock of jug of wine in the Hosidius kitchen, eliminating the need to world hop. Additionally, using items like the Ancient Mace and Falador shield can increase your prayer points, allowing for longer sessions without banking. This method can provide over 1 million prayer XP per hour. Collecting bone shards can be time-consuming, but for main accounts, buying bones and chiseling them into bone shards is a viable option.
Sailing Skill Preparation
With the potential release of the Sailing skill, investing in pirate clothes now can be profitable. Items bought from Mos Le'Harmless for around 350 GP each can sell for up to 5,000 GP each on the Grand Exchange. This market is likely to surge when the skill is released, making it a great long-term investment opportunity.
Miscellaneous Tips
Efficient World Hopping
Every player has a limit of 400 world hops before being restricted, with around 100 hops regenerating each hour. If you world hop every 7 seconds, you will get kicked out after an hour. To avoid this, limit your hopping to 100 times per hour. This is crucial for money-making methods involving shops, ensuring you don't get logged out frequently.
Short-Term Membership for F2P Players
If you want to try out membership benefits without spending on a full bond, consider the 24-hour membership package available through RuneScape 3 mobile. This cost-effective option provides membership for both RS3 accounts and OSRS accounts and is perfect for short-term goals or testing out new content.
By incorporating these tips and utilizing RuneLite plugins, you can enhance your Old School RuneScape experience, making your gameplay more efficient and enjoyable. Whether you're looking to improve your combat skills, optimize your gear, or find new ways to make money, these strategies will help you achieve your goals in Gielinor. Happy scaping!
