Released in the January of 2005, Slayer is one of the most popular skills in OSRS that players choose to train yet has one of the least amounts of 99s compared to the other skills. With the vast amount of slayer masters, special equipment, monsters and more, the skill may seem quite daunting at first. On the other hand, Slayer is a great skill for you to train, as on the way to accomplishing level 99, you’ll be getting around level 99 in all your other combat stats. On top of that, Slayer unlocks a wide variety of monsters that can make you serious amounts of money. We’ve gone ahead and made a comprehensive guide to Slayer, that’ll surely get you to 99. So, sit back as we go through the ins and outs of the skill of Slayer!

Quests

Before we jump into the levelling guide, you should be aware of the Quests in OSRS that grant slayer experience. As slayer is a relatively long skill to train, especially in the lower levels with the low experience rates, the usage of completing quests to speed through those levels is highly recommended. Below, we’ve got a list of all the quests in OSRS that grant slayer experience. So, before you head out slaying all the monsters in the game, consider trying a few quests out!

Useful Items

Here is a list of useful items that will assist you greatly in your slayer journey.

The first, is the fairy ring teleport system. With the fair ring teleport system, you can have access to almost every slayer monster in the map instantly. As slayer monsters are scattered across the whole world, this makes it much easier to navigate to your slayer task. To gain access to the fairy ring teleport system, you’ll need to use the specific fairy rings with either a Lunar or Dramen staff, after starting the Fairy-tale II quest. Keep in mind, if you’ve completed the Lumbridge & Draynor Village achievement diary sets, you won’t need the staff.

Next, is lunar magic. The lunar magic spell book has an extremely beneficial spell – NPC contact. This spell allows you to communicate to your slayer master wherever you are. Therefore, you can get a task, tips and other information whenever, wherever. Additionally, the lunar magic spell book has the spell book swap ability, allowing you to access teleports to locations such as Trollheim and Ghorrock. To use lunar magics, you’ll need to complete the lunar diplomacy quest.

After that, it’s the slayer ring! The slayer ring, especially at higher slayer levels, is extremely beneficial, as you can use it to teleport to a vast variety of slayer locations, such as the slayer tower, and the stronghold slayer cave. You can purchase a ring from a slayer master for 75 slayer points, or you could craft it yourself by unlocking the ability to craft it (we’ll speak about the unlocks later) for 300 points.

Next, the Karamja gloves 3 allows you to teleport to Shilo Village. You may be asking, why do you need to go to Shilo Village? Well, as you’ll find out shortly, Shilo Village is the home of one of the high-level slayer masters – Duradel. Also, if you’ve got Karamja gloves 4, you can teleport directly to Duradel. To get these Karamja gloves 3, you’ll need to complete the hard Karamja diaries, and to get the fourth-tier version, you’ll need to complete the Karamja elite diaries.

The Xeric’s Talisman is a very useful item that allows you to teleport to various locations in the Great Kourend. Although being useful for plenty of other skills and activities, the talisman is useful for slayer as you can teleport to near the Catacombs of Kourend, where you’ll be spending a lot of time. To get the talisman, you’ll need to kill lizardmen, brutes or shamans. Alternatively, you could steal from the stone chests in the Lizardmen Temple.

The slayer helmet is going to be your best friend during your Slayer journey. The main reason for this is that it provides a 15% attack and strength boost against slayer tasks. Additionally, it combines the effects of its parts, which are: the spiny helmet, facemask, earmuffs, nose peg and black mask. If you imbue it at the Nightmare Zone, it will also provide ranged and magic bonuses. To make it, you’ll need to spend 400 slayer points on the unlockable ability.

Until you have a slayer helmet, you should heavily consider using a black mask. The black mask provides a 15% attack and strength boost against monsters on a slayer tasks, and requires 10 defence, 20 strength and 40 combat to wield. If you imbue it at the Nightmare Zone, it also provides ranged and magic bonuses. You can either buy the black mask off the Grand Exchange or be lucky enough to receive it as a drop from Cave Horrors.

The enchanted gem is a must have for slayer. Sold by all slayer masters for 1 GP, the gem allows you to contact your slayer master at any time, to ask them about your current assigned task, as well as tips for it.

There’s also a bunch of miscellaneous items you’ll need to effectively slay and protect yourself against certain monsters. At level 10, the facemask protects you from the Dust Devil attacks. At level 15, the earmuffs protect you from Banshees. At level 25, the mirror shield protects you against Basilisks and Cockatrice. At level 33, the unlit bug lantern allows you to attack Harpie Bug Swarms. At level 35, the spiny helmet protects you from Wall Beasts. At level 37, the insulated boots protect you from Killerwatts. At level 57, the Fungicide spray allows you to finish off Mutated Zygomites. At level 60, the nose peg protects you from Aberrant spectres. At level 75, the rock hammer and rock thrown hammer allows you to finish off Gargoyles.

Recommended Quests to be Completed

Slayer requires you to travel the whole world to find specific monsters to defeat. As a result, you’ll need to have quite a few quests under your belt in order to access the various parts of the map, to find the most challenging monsters. Here’s a list of quests we recommend you complete before jumping into slayer, as they’ll be very beneficial in your journey.

• Horror from the Deep, to unlock Dagonnoths.

• Lunar Diplomacy, to unlock Suqahs.

• Priest in Peril, to unlock Morytania (the home of the Slayer Tower).

• Barbarian Training, to unlock Mithril Dragons and Waterfiends.

• Mourning’s End Part II, to unlock Dark Beasts.

• Desert Treasure, to unlock Dust Devils.

• Monkey Madness II, to unlock demonic gorillas.

• Bone Voyage, to unlock Fossil Island Wyverns.

• Dragon Slayer II, to unlock Adamant Dragons and Rune Dragons.

• Death Plateau, to unlock spiritual creatures.

Slayer Masters

In your Slayer journey, you’ll be visiting the majority of the slayer masters around the world. However, at the later levels, you’ll mainly be getting tasks from Duradel or Nieve (also known as Steve). So, let’s meet them all!

Turael

First up is Turael, who can be found in Southeast Burthorpe. He is the first slayer master, and therefore has no requirements to get tasks from him. To get to him, you could use either a games necklace teleport or travel via hot air balloon. His tasks are very easy, but you shouldn’t spend extra time with his tasks. An interesting fact about Turael is that he is able to replace your current assignment from another slayer master with his own easier tasks. So, if you ever find yourself stuck, and you can’t skip any tasks, head to Turael!

Krystilia

Next, is Krystilia, found in Edgeville. You don’t need any requirements to receive tasks from her, except that you should have 1 task from any other slayer master under your belt. To get to Krystilia, you can use an amulet of glory. All of her assignments are found in the Wilderness, and therefore you can earn extra rewards when slaying the assigned monsters. Keep in mind that Wilderness slayer tasks have a different counter from standard tasks.

Mazchna

After that is Mazchna, found in Canifis. To receive tasks from him, you’ll need to complete Priest in Peril and have 20 combat. To get to him, you should either use an ectophial or fairy ring (cks). Just like Turael, his tasks are also quite easy.

Vannaka

Next up is Vannaka, found in Edgeville dungeon. You’ll need to have a combat level of 40 to receive his assignments. To get to him, simply use an amulet of glory to head to Edgeville, then head down to the Edgeville dungeon to find him. He is one of the more popular slayer masters, as his tasks are designed for those in the medium to high level players.

Chaeldar

After Vannaka is Chaeldar, found in the Zanaris Fairy Queen’s court. You’ll need a combat level of 70, as well as the completion of Lost City to utilize her assignments. To get to her, simply use a fairy ring teleport to get to Zanaris, the fairy ring hub. Keep in mind however, she can hand out dangerous tasks such as Bronze Dragons.

Konar Quo Maten

Next is Konar Quo Maten, found in Mount Karuulm. You’ll need a slightly higher combat level to receive assignments from her, requiring 75 combat. To get to her, use the fairy ring teleport (cir) and head north. The special thing about her slayer tasks is that there is a chance of receiving Brimstone Keys, which can allow you to open the Brimstone Chest, which can contain various valuable goodies.

Nieve

One of the final slayer masters is Nieve, located in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. You’ll have to have a combat level of at least 85 to receive tasks from her. To get to her, use a spirit tree teleport to the Tree Gnome Village, and head to the Tree Gnome Stronghold, where you’ll find her. However, if you’ve completed Monkey Madness II, Nieve will be seen to be replaced by Steve, her cousin.

Duradel

The final and most challenging slayer master is Duradel, located in Shilo Village, and requiring 100 combat, as well as 50 Slayer to receive tasks from. To get to him, simply use a fairy ring teleport (ckr) and head to the top floor of the fishing store or use the Karamja Gloves 3 (or 4) teleport. His tasks are usually very hard, so make sure you’re all prepared before consulting him!

Slayer levelling Guide

As you may know, Slayer is a skill that involves you visiting specific slayer masters, who assign you tasks to kill a specific amount of a certain monsters. The monsters you’re assigned is based upon both your own combat level, and the general difficulty of the slayer master you speak to. After every successful kill of the assigned monster, you receive Slayer experience, roughly equal to the monster’s hit points.

So, to receive a Slayer task, you’ll just need to head to a Slayer master. If you don’t know which Slayer master to go to, simply scroll up to find a list of them. Once assigned a task from the Slayer master, you may need Slayer-specific equipment, in which when asking the respective Slayer master for tips, those equipment pieces will be revealed. For example you’ll need a face mask for killing Dust Devils.

If levelling Slayer gets boring, you can also partake in group Slayer, in which you partner up with another player and work your way through the same slayer task. You can achieve this by right clicking and selecting the ‘partner’ option on either an enchanted gem, slayer ring or slayer helmet.

Technically, there are no requirements to start Slayer training. However, we highly recommend getting your combat stats up a little, to make the Slayer progression a lot easier. In other words, the higher your combat, the faster your Slayer experience rates will be.

Recommended Equipment

The equipment you bring to your Slayer tasks are extremely important, as it can heavily influence your experience rates. You should always be aiming to bring the best in slot equipment to slayer to maximize experience rates. If you’re unaware of what equipment to bring to Slayer training, we’ll quickly run through the setups you should go with!

Melee

If you choose to bring melee along to Slayer training, you should opt for a max DPS setup. If you don’t know what that looks like – don’t worry! We’ll run you through the gear setup. On the very left, you’ll see the gear at which we recommend the most. If you can’t use that piece of equipment (due to level or monetary restrictions), use the gear directly to the right of it, until you find something you can use.

Slayer Points

As you continue grinding through your Slayer tasks, you’ll start to accumulate Slayer points. If you’re unfamiliar with them, Slayer points can allow you to cancel tasks, permanently block tasks, and unlock useful rewards that we’ve mentioned before.

We recommend that while you collect Slayer points, you spend them in this optimal order: Blocking tasks, Superior Slayer monsters, Slayer helmet, Extensions, and other unlocks.
Let’s go through each of them!

Cancelling and blocking tasks

As Slayer features a wide variety of monsters to kill, there’s bound to be a few that are undesirable. Luckily, you can either skip them when you’re assigned them, or you can even permanently make it, so you’re not assigned them.

• Cancelling a task costs 30 reward points,
• Blocking a task costs 100 reward points,
• You can have up to 6 tasks blocked simultaneously.

Why should you block tasks?

As Slayer is all about efficient training, it is imperative that you spend more doing good tasks that generate good experience and income. Additionally, you shouldn’t bother blocking tasks for lower level Slayer monsters, and only consider blocking tasks for the final Slayer masters (Nieve/Steve and Duradel).

To adopt a strategy to effectively block tasks, you should follow this reasoning:
• First, sort the slayer tasks you are eligible to receive from fastest to slowest Slayer experience.
• Focusing on the slower tasks, look at the amount of time that it takes.
• The tasks which have the slowest experience rates,
• Longest time to complete should be blocked first.

Unlocking the ‘Bigger and Badder‘ perk for a cost of 150 slayer points allows you the ability to encounter superior variants of monsters at a rate of 1 in 200. These superior monsters are much more difficult to defeat than their inferior variants yet provide a large amount of slayer experience when killing it, along with the chance of dropping valuable items such as:
• An eternal gem,
• Imbued heart.

We recommend you unlock this perk to maximize your experience and gold gains while slaying.

Extending slayer tasks

Sometimes, you may want to extend slayer tasks. For example, if you receive a task with great experience rates and great monetary gain, such as Abyssal Demons, you may want to use your slayer points to extend the task and be assigned much more monsters to kill. However, in an optimal strategy to maximize slayer experience, you should only extend premium tasks such as Nechryaels and Dust Devils.

Unlocking new tasks

To unlock new tasks, you’ll need to pay with your Slayer points. Once you’ve paid, you can start receiving them as an assignment. The unlockable tasks are:
• ‘Seeing Red,’ allowing you to receive a Red Dragons task.
• The ‘I hope you mith me‘ unlock allows you to receive Mithril Dragons as a task.
• The ‘Watch the birdie,’ unlock allows you to receive Aviansies as a task.
• The ‘Hot Stuff‘ unlock allows you to slay TzHaar’s such as Jad, or Zuk if you’ve already completed the inferno.
• The ‘Reptile got ripped‘ allows you to slay Lizardmen on task.
• The ‘Like a boss‘ task allows you to slay all normal bosses in OSRS.

If you’re trying to optimally train slayer for maximum experience rates, you shouldn’t be unlocking new Slayer tasks.

Killing perks

The only killing perk we recommend you unlock the Gargoyle smasher. As you’ll receive Gargoyle tasks quite frequently at higher level Slayer, you’ll save a lot of time with the Gargoyle smasher perk.

Train Construction with Slayer

As mentioned in our Construction guide, you can gain a lot of free Construction XP while training slayer. Simply collect long bones and curved bones that you receive from during your slayer tasks and turn them in for free Construction XP.

Money Making with Slayer

The great part of Slayer is that you can make a whole lot of gold! Let’s go through a few.

First, once you hit level 65 Slayer, you can kill Dust Devils. Located in both the Smoke Dungeon and Catacombs of Kourend, they require a facemask in order for you not to disorient your stats. As aforementioned, a slayer mask already has a facemask on it. They can drop a wide variety of runes, herbs, gems and more, which leads to some really nice profit. Furthermore, they are great experience! We recommend you use bursting or barraging to target multiple at a time.

Next, when you’re at level 72 Slayer, you’re able to slay Skeletal Wyverns. These Skeletal Wyverns can make you a bunch of money, in a very AFK manner. To kill them, you’ll need either an elemental shield, mind shield, dragon fire shield, dragon fire ward or ancient wyvern shield, in order to protect yourself from their icy breath. They drop wyvern bones, battle staves, rune equipment, runes, herbs, prayer potions, and the valuable draconic visage.

Moving on, you can start slaying Brutal Black Dragons at level 77 Slayer. These brutal black dragons, although being difficult to kill, drops dragon bones, black dragonhide, dragon equipment, rune equipment, runes, and the draconic visage. We recommend you bring range along, and preferably with a dragon hunter crossbow.

After making all that gold while Slaying, why not sell it off for real life cash? If that interests you, follow this link to sell osrs gold.

OSRS Mining Guide Fastest Mining XP

Level 15-75: 3-Tick Iron

The best place to mine iron using this method is in the Legends’ Guild, offering a high XP rate through 3-tick manipulation.

Experience rate: 70k-80k XP/hr

Level 75-99: 3-Tick Granite

The fastest Mining XP method, though highly click-intensive, is 3-tick granite mining in the Quarry.

Granite rocks are located in the south-west area of the Quarry, with four rocks close to each other. The quickest way to get there is by using the Camulet teleport. Ensure you have protection against desert heat: the Desert amulet 4 provides immunity, or you can use the Hitpoints cape and regen bracelet to outheal the damage. Alternatively, bring waterskins and refill them with Humidify.

When mining granite, drop the pieces between actions. Start the 3-tick mining action, click on the next rock, drop the granite quickly, and click the rock again. This method is very click-intensive but significantly increases efficiency.

Experience Rate:
-90k-95k XP/hr at level 75
-105k-115k XP/hr at higher levels
-125k-130k XP/hr at level 99 with the Mining Cape Perk

OSRS Mining Guide Money-Making Methods (AFK)

There are various ways you can make money with this skill, however, here are the most profitable ways to 99 Mining.

Motherlode Mine:

Mining in the Motherlode Mine requires Level 30 Mining but is recommended from level 55 for better efficiency. It offers low-effort training and decent profit, especially compared to Amethyst mining. Completing medium Falador Diary tasks grants a shortcut (54 Agility required), and the Elite Diary increases higher-level ore chances.

Cleaning pay-dirt yields golden nuggets for the Prospector outfit, which gives a 2.5% XP boost. The outfit is needed for hard Falador Diary tasks. At level 72 Mining and with 100 nuggets, unlock the upper levels for better ore veins.

Experience Rate:
-30k XP/hr at Level 70
-42k XP/hr at Level 85
-53k XP/hr at Level 99

Profit: 300k GP/hr

Gem Rocks (Levels 61-75/99)

Mining gem rocks in the underground area of the Shilo Village mine becomes viable after completing the hard tasks of the Karamja Achievement Diary. Use the nearby Bank Deposit Box to store gems when your inventory is full. Gem rocks offer the fastest chance to obtain the Mining Pet, Rock Golem. They’re also the primary source of opal, jade, and red topaz, crucial for ironmen.

It is advisable to purchase a Gem bag from Motherlode Mine to lessen banking. Less banking = more profit.

If you end up making a lot of money with this method be sure to sell your gold to Ezrsgold and make some real money playing runescape!

Experience Rate: Varies

Profit: 893,881 GP/hr

Amethyst (Levels 92-99)

A popular AFK method with moderate XP but good profit.

Experience rate: 19k-24k XP/hr

Profit: 310k GP/hr

Other OSRS Mining Guide Methods

Volcanic Mine (Levels 70-99)

The Volcanic Mine on Fossil Island offers fast experience with low effort, but it’s not profitable and requires teamwork, so it’s generally not recommended. It’s best to start using this method around Level 70 Mining, despite unlocking it at Level 50.

To enter, complete the Bone Voyage quest, earn at least 150 Kudos, and claim five unidentified small fossils from Peter after fully building the Museum Camp. Each entry requires paying Petrified Pete 30 numulite. Over time, you’ll slightly profit numulite from the mine.

World 323 is the official world, but forming your own team ensures better coordination. Optimal teams consist of 3 to 5 players; duo works if both are experienced. Soloing is possible but more effortful with slightly slower experience rates than in a team.

Experience Rate:
-65k-70k XP/hr at Level 70
-75k-80k XP/hr at Level 85
-85k-90k XP/hr at Level 99 (with a Dragon Pickaxe)

Using a Crystal Pickaxe starting at Level 71, you can receive an additional 5k XP/hr

Blast Mine OSRS Mining Guide (Levels 75-99)

The Blast Mine minigame, requiring 100% Lovakengj favour, offers good experience and profit starting at Level 75 Mining, primarily due to the availability of runite ore. It’s crucial to begin at this level to maximize both experience and profit, as lower levels lack access to runite.

To prepare, bring noted and unnoted dynamite, a chisel, tinderbox, and stamina potion. Replenish dynamite at the nearest bank chest when needed. Using the Graceful Outfit conserves run energy. Equip a Dragon Pickaxe to enhance chances of obtaining higher-level ores based on Mining level. Wearing the Prospector outfit while collecting ores from the operator boosts experience, akin to goldsmith gauntlets at the Blast Furnace.

Experience Rate:
-55k XP/hr at Level 75
-65k XP/hr at Level 90
-70k-75k XP/hr at Level 99

Levels 15-30:
Oak Trees

Oak Trees in Varrock Travel to Varrock and chop down Oak Trees near the Grand Exchange. This location offers a good balance between proximity to the bank and decent experience rates for mid-level Woodcutters.

Oak trees are easy to find and cut. Once you have a Woodcutting level of 15, you can chop them in places like Lumbridge, Draynor Village, and Taverley.

Levels 30-45: Willow Trees

Willow Trees in Draynor Village Return to Draynor Village and cut Willow Trees near the riverbank. These trees provide improved experience rates and are conveniently located near a bank for efficient log banking.

Willow trees are easy to find and cut. Once you have a Woodcutting level of 30, you can chop them in places like Draynor Village, Barbarian Village, and Tree Gnome Stronghold.

Levels 45-90 or 99: Deadliest Catch & Teak Trees

Infernal Axe

The Infernal Axe is widely regarded as the best axe to use in OSRS due to its ability to instantly burn logs, providing faster woodcutting experience and increased efficiency.

Shift Dropping

To shift drop in OSRS, simply hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click the item you want to drop in your inventory.  This allows you to quickly discard items without the need for manual right-clicking and selecting the drop option.  

To turn on shift dropping in OSRS, open the Options menu, go to the Controls tab, and enable the “Shift click to drop items” option by checking the box next to it.

c) Consider utilizing Stamina Potions or Energy-enhancing equipment to reduce fatigue and increase your running time.

d) Utilize Fairy Rings or Spirit Trees for quick access to various tree locations.

e) Equip items that provide bonuses to Woodcutting, such as the Lumberjack outfit that requires (44 Woodcutting), Woodcutting gloves, or the Dragon axe/Infernal Axe. These items can enhance your XP rates and overall efficiency.

To get the Lumberjack outfit in OSRS, play the Temple Trekking/Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame and complete the easy, medium, hard, and elite routes.  

Collect the outfit pieces by opening supply crates during the minigame until you have the full Lumberjack outfit.

f) Advanced players can utilize tick manipulation techniques to further increase XP rates. These techniques involve timing your actions within the game’s tick system for optimal efficiency.

g) Certain potions, like the Woodcutting potion, can temporarily boost your Woodcutting level by 3 levels, allowing you to access higher-level trees and gain additional XP.

Additional Methods: Easy, Fast, Profitable, and AFK-Friendly

Easy: Sand Crabs

-Location: Hosidius coast on Zeah.

Sand Crabs are highly regarded in Old School RuneScape for AFK training due to their combination of high hitpoints, non-aggressive behavior, and minimal competition for spots.

Sand Crabs provide a straightforward and efficient method for players to level their Melee skills quickly with minimal attention required, making them ideal for both casual and dedicated players alike.

Fast: Nightmare Zone

-Location: Near Yanille.

Nightmare Zone (NMZ) stands out as a premier AFK training method in Old School RuneScape due to its unique mechanics.

With customizable settings and high experience rates, NMZ offers a fast-paced leveling experience ideal for those looking to efficiently train Melee skills while minimizing active gameplay.

Profitable: Green Dragons

AFK-Friendly: Ammonite Crabs

-Location: Fossil Island.

Ammonite Crabs on Fossil Island are highly favored as an AFK training method in Old School RuneScape due to their high hitpoints, non-aggressive behavior, and consistent respawn rates.

As you progress in your fishing level, you’ll be able to catch a wider variety of fish, and you can catch them faster. The fishing skill works hand in hand with the cooking skill, as you can immediately cook the fish that you acquire, and not only get cooking experience, but also some food that can be later used or sold. Today, Ezrsgold team compiled the best ways to get to level 99 Fishing in OSRS. So, let’s jump into it!

One of the Best AFK Fishing Methods in 2025: The Lazy King’s Guide

“Lazy King” method, one of the best AFK fishing methods in 2025- 40,000 Fishing XP/ Hour, allowing you to fish for swordfish for a whopping 30 minutes at a time without needing to bank!

• Crystal or Dragon Harpoon
• Cannon
• Cannonballs (minimum quality is fine)
• Miscellania Teleport (through Player Owned House or Ring of Wealth)

• (Optional) Fremmenyk Boots 4 for a shortcut to the docks
• (Optional) Full inventory of Admiral’s pies for a +5 Fishing boost
• (Optional) Bonecrusher necklace and prayer gear for extended Prayer renewal

• Set up your cannon inside the Miscellania castle room with the single woman inside. This will slowly decrease your approval rating.
• Head to the Miscellania docks and start fishing for swordfish with your harpoon.

Relax!
You can afk fish for up to 30 minutes without having to worry about banking or dropping your fish.

• Using a Miscellania teleport through your Player Owned House or Ring of Wealth will save you time getting to the docks.
• (Optional) Wearing Fremmenyk Boots 4 can provide a small shortcut to the docks.
• Using a full inventory of Admiral’s pies will give you a +5 Fishing level boost, which can be helpful.
• Wearing a Bonecrusher necklace and using prayer gear will extend the duration of your Prayer renewal, allowing you to AFK for longer.

• You can still catch Giant Swordfish using this method, although the exact drop rate is unknown.
• You can expect to get around 40,000 Fishing XP/ Hour with this method.
• You don’t need to use the best quality cannonballs, the minimum quality will work just fine.
• While this method is AFK, it will slowly decrease your Miscellania approval rating. You may not be the most popular ruler, but at least you’ll be getting some good fishing XP!

OSRS Fishing XP Quests

Because fishing in Old School RuneScape is considered to be one of the slowest skills, it is highly recommended that you quest your way through the early levels. Only completing the quest for the Sea Slug, for example, will get you all the way to level 24. Below is a list of all the quests that offer experience in fishing. Consider trying to complete some of them before or during your fishing adventure.

If you want to skip the boring quest grinds and want to jump straight into the Fishing action, head to our OSRS questing service.

Useful Items for Fishing

Angler’s Outfit

The Angler’s outfit is amazing; imagine an outfit you can wear that will give you an extra 2.5 per cent fishing experience forever. To get the full outfit, you’ll need to try your luck at either the minigame of Fishing Trawler, or by Ariel fishing. Now we’re not going to go into the ins and outs of the Fishing Trawler, we’re going to save that for another guide! If you have the outfit, you will have to meet the requirement of 34 fishing to wear it and enjoy its benefits. Just in case you just want to wear selected pieces, note that the hat gives an XP bonus of 0.4 per cent. The top gives an XP bonus of 0.8 per cent. The waders bring an XP bonus of 0.6 percent, and the boots carry an XP bonus of 0.2 per cent. Wearing them all adds an extra set bonus of 0.5 percent, which leads to a maximum set bonus of 2.5 percent.

General Equipment

In regard to general fishing equipment, Fishing uses two types of equipment, which are divided into consumables and equipment. Consumables are used up for each fish caught at the cost of one item and are stackable while the equipment is non-stackable and reusable. The items are: For Net Fishing, the Small fishing net, which is not consumable. For Bait Fishing, the fishing rod, and some fishing bait. For Fly Fishing, the Fly-fishing rod and some feathers to act as bait. For Harpooning, Harpoon (or bare handed if you finished the barbarian Training Miniquest, or a barb-tail harpoon), which is not consumable. For Cage Fishing, the Lobster pot, which is not consumable. For Barbarian Fishing, the Barbarian Rod, and baits like fishing baits, fish offcuts, feathers, roe or caviar. For Aerial Fishing, there’s the Cormorant and usable baits like the king worms, and fish chunks.

If you need some cheap OSRS GP to assist in buying these items, head to our OSRS Gold service.

Rada’s Blessing

In addition, you may want to receive the blessing of the Rada from the Kourend & Kebos diary for those players who are wanting to earn some money while fishing. The easy, medium, hard, and elite dairies all offer 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% (respectively) at once to catch two fish. You’ll need to equip the blessing for it to take effect.

Levelling Fishing

In this OSRS fishing guide, we provide you with two paths that you may want to go down (or mix and match to your liking). The first is the easy route that will get you to level 99 as quickly as possible. To those of you who want to make some profits, the second route is the profitable process. Regardless of which path you choose, you’ll be doing the same methods from levels 1 to 62.

Levels 1-20 – Fishing Shrimp/Anchovies

You will be fishing shrimp to kick off the long grind of fishing in this OSRS fishing guide, from level 1 through 20. Bear in mind, though, that at level 15 you’ll start catching the more advanced relative of the shrimp–the anchovies! You’ll need a small fishing net to capture these fish, and head to a good fishing spot. Draynor Village, as seen on the map below, is our personal favorite place to fish for shrimp and anchovies. Simply head north towards the bank if you want to bank the fish. Otherwise you can stick to dropping the fish until you reach level 20. Or, the Sea Slug Quest helps you to skip straight to level 24. You will need 30 fire making to start the quest and you will need to speak to Caroline, east of Ardougne, as shown on the map below.

Levels 20-58 – Fly Fishing Trout/Salmon

At levels 20 to 58, away from shrimps and anchovies, you’ll be catching bigger types of fish: trout and salmon. Similar to how the anchovies were, at level 30 you’ll start catching salmon. You’ll need a fly-fishing rod, and feathers, to catch these fish. Travel over to any fly-fishing spot next. As seen on the map below, our personal preference is the place outside Barbarian Village. If you want to bank the fish, head east until you reach the bank of Varrock. If not, just dropping the fish and going to level 58 is also perfect!

Levels 58-62 – Barbarian Fishing

You will be doing Barbarian fishing from levels 58 to 62 before you go divide off into either the fast or profitable paths in this OSRS fishing guide. To fish here you will need to start the Barbarian Training fishing portion. Simply speak to Otto Godblessed at the place as indicated by the map to do so. You will also need 15 agility and 15 strength (recommended 45 agility and 45 strength when accessing higher tier fish). You’ll also experience Agility & Power as an added bonus! You’re going to need a barbarian rod (which you’ll get from Otto), and a stack of feathers, as your bait. Go to the Otto’s Grotto fishing spot to get started.

There’s a rare trick that you might have heard of in Old School RuneScape, called 3-tick manipulation. You can dramatically speed up your fishing by taking fast enough actions within a tick (0.6 seconds)..Because fishing is typically a 5-tick action, tick manipulation can result in a 3-tick action, potentially increasing your experience by 67%. If you wish to use these dramatic boosts in fishing, let’s go through 3-tick fishing!

Next, you’re going to need your barbarian rod, feathers, any herb, swamp tar, and a pestle and mortar (we’re going to describe their use later). It’s smart to have a couple of extra herbs just in case you make a mistake. Below is an example of an inventory setup. You’ll need to use your herb on your swamp tar fast for Barbarian Fishing. When you see your animation beginning to crush up your herb, click on the fishing spot quickly, then repeat the process and drop the fish as you go. It can become very click intensive – so take breaks! From there, it’s just rinse and repeat until level 62 (or if you’re taking the quick method further).

Fastest way to traing Fishing in Old School Runescape

Levels 62-99 – Barbarian Fishing

To kick off this guide’s fast section while finishing it at the same time, from level 62 all the way to fishing mastery at 99, you’re going to do barbarian fishing once again. Bear in mind that at level 70, you’ll start catching the leaping sturgeon, increasing your rates of experience. If you have forgotten how to go about barbarian fishing, just scroll up!

Profitable way to train Fishing

Levels 62-82 – Fishing Monkfish  

You want to make some money, then? To begin this guide’s profitable portion, you will be fishing monkfish from levels 62 through 82. You’ll need just a small fishing net for this process. However, if you want to fish at Piscatoris (as we suggest because of the close proximity of a bank), you’ll have to complete the quest of the Swan Song. Use a Piscatoris teleport to get to the fishing spot, and head slightly northwest to the fishing spot, as seen in the map below. From there, all you need to do is fish away, and bank slightly southeast of the river.

Levels 82-99 – Fishing Minnows

To top this OSRS Fishing Guide, you’ll be catching minnows from level 82 through to level 99. Sadly, for this one you need an Angler’s outfit so if you forgot how to get one, scroll up to this guide’s ‘useful items’ part. Get a small fishing net with your Angler’s outfit and head over to the fishing spot. At the Fishing Guild, you’ll catch minnows.

You may have found that the minnows are untradable when you’re fishing minnows. And how can you make income from it? Simply speak to Kylie Minnow, who is going to buy your minnows for raw sharks at a cost of 40 minnows per shark, to start making money. If you don’t want to get the Angler’s uniform, feel free to stick to Monkfish fishing. It’s less gold per hour and less experience per hour, but it saves you all the effort to get the Angler outfit. Keep going until level 99!

OSRS Fishing Money Making guide

There’s a some good ways to make some money while fishing – let’s go through a few!

Firstly, there’s catching Karambwans, which grants about 255k GP per hour. At level 65 Fishing, and you can start catching karambwan after completing the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio questYou’ll need a karambwan vessel and raw karambwanji to bait for karambwan fishing. Raw karambwanji can be caught northeast of the fairy ring code – ckr. The best spot to catch karambwan is a spot north of the dkp fairy ring. For this approach it is highly recommended to have a simple access to a fairy ring, like a fairy ring at your house. Players can use a dueling ring to bank the fish at Castle Wars, Edgeville using an amulet of glory, Shilo Village Underground Mine using Karamja gloves 3 or 4, or The Theatre of Blood using Drakan’s medal. Alternatively the dkp fairy ring can be used to quickly bank the fish in Zanaris without any teleportation items, requiring only a short run from the fishing spot to the bank box.

Next, there’s catching Infernal Eels, which gets about 237k GP per hour. You can start catching infernal eels at level 80 Fishing inside the city of Mor Ul Rek. To gain entry to Mor Ul Rek a fire cape has to be given to a TzHaar-Ket guard. This doesn’t take the cape away, so don’t worry about losing it. Using a hammer to remove ten to twenty Tokkul, one onyx-bolt tip, or one to five lava scale fragments, infernal eels can be smashed open. Peer eel, you should expect to make upwards of 1000 GP. Fishing infernal eels in the most city’s south-east area is suggested, as the other two areas may see their fishing spots vanish more frequently.

Also, there’s the method of catching Sacred Eels, which makes about 374k GP per hour. At level 87 Fishing and partially completing the Regicide search, players at Zul-Andra will catch sacred eels giving 105 Fishing xp per Sacred Eel. The fish can be dissected with a knife to remove Zulrah’s scales with a Cooking level of 72. Dissecting the fish will offer cooking experience of around 109-227, and 3-9 scales. The cooking level of a player determines how many scales are earned upon dissection. With a cooking level in the mid-80s, an average of around 5 scales per fish can be predicted and around 7 scales per fish are given at a cooking level of 96.After making some money, why not sell it for some real life cash? If you’re interested, head to our OSRS Sell gold service.

OSRS Fishing minigame – Tempoross

Temporos is a fishing counterpart of Wintertodt. To engage in this minigame you will need at least level 35 Fishing. If you’re playing with a Hardcore Ironman account, avoid death in this minigame, as you will lose your status. So how much xp can you get in Tempoross? At level 35 you should be getting about 30k xp/h and at higher levels the xp is between 60k and 90k, depending on the harpoon you use.

Here’s a great guide for this minigame.

Drift net fishing

This is a unique method to train 2 skills at the same time – fishing and hunter. The requirements to start are low – 44 fishing and 47 hunter. You will also need to complete bone voyage quest as well as RFD (Pirate Pete) quest. This is one of the most efficient methods of training as you will save a lot of time. The xp rates are comparable to both best fishing and hunter training methods up until about level 90 in both skills. The only downside of this method is that it is click-intensive, so it may not be for you if you’d rather relax while you fish.

Here’s a guide explaining everything you need to know about this method.

That concludes our guide to get to level 99 Fishing in OSRS. We hope you enjoyed, good luck! If you’re also interested in leveling up your Cooking skill, check out our OSRS 1-99 Cooking guide.
