Old School RS (OSRS) is renowned for its extensive and intricate mid-game content. Many players find themselves immersed in this phase, brimming with opportunities and challenges. Once you've established your account, the game truly begins to expand, offering a plethora of activities ranging from quests and achievement diaries to bossing and skilling. With so much to do, it can be overwhelming to decide on your next steps. This guide will outline some of the most rewarding mid-game goals to help structure your journey toward the later stages of OSRS.
1. Complete the Perilous Moons Quest
A recent addition to OSRS, the Perilous Moons Quest on the new continent of Vmore is an excellent mid-game goal. The primary requirement is 48 Slayer, which, while time-consuming, is well worth the effort. Completing this quest unlocks several new mid-game activities:
• Moons Apparel Dungeon: Here, you can battle a mid-game boss akin to the Barrows Brothers, offering substantial loot and earning potential of up to 2 million OSRS GP per hour.
•Sulfur Naguas: Using the Blood Moon armor and weapon, this method provides a competitive melee training experience.
•Calcified Rocks: A passive prayer training method, aiding in acquiring crucial protection prayers.
•Hunter Training Methods: Additional methods to train your Hunter skills.
2. Unlock the Major Guilds
In 2024, OSRS has revamped several guilds, making them more valuable. Focusing on unlocking these guilds can significantly enhance your gameplay:
•Hunter Guild: Offers Hunter contracts, a great way to train and earn money.
•Farming Guild: Provides access to various patches and farming contracts, an excellent source of income.
•Warriors' Guild: Grants access to the Dragon Defender, a crucial melee upgrade.
3. Tears of Guthix
This weekly activity provides experience in your lowest level of skill. It's advisable to complete this as soon as possible to maximize its benefits over time. Aim to accumulate at least 100 Quest Points to maximize the time you spend collecting tears, thus boosting your experience gains.
4. Medium Combat Achievements
Combat achievements have become more flexible, requiring only a certain point threshold instead of completing every task. The medium combat achievements, in particular, offer valuable rewards:
•Barrows Runs: No more prayer drain in the Barrows dungeon.
•Warriors' Guild Tokens: Double tokens, making it easier to obtain defenders.
•Pest Control: Faster points acquisition.
•God Wars Dungeon Teleports: Direct teleports to this critical area.
•Dwarf Cannon: Increased cannonball capacity.
5. Wilderness Money Makers
Despite the risks, the Wilderness offers some of the most lucrative money-making methods:
•Zombie Pirates: Up to 2 million GP per hour with low risk.
•Wilderness Agility Course: Profitable and a good agility training method.
•Callisto and Venenatis: Profitable bossing activities with mid-level combat stats.
6. Barrow Gloves
A quintessential mid-game goal, Barrow gloves are the best-in-slot glove item for a significant portion of the game. Acquiring them requires completing numerous quests and achieving 175 Quest Points, which will also progress other aspects of your account.
7. Herb Runs
Setting up a consistent herb run can be highly profitable. With eight accessible herb patches and using ultra compost, you can average around 250k profit per run. Doing this several times a day can passively generate a substantial income.
8. Unlocking Transportation Options
Efficient travel around Gielinor saves significant time. Key transportation unlocks include:
•Fairy Rings, Spirit Trees, and Gnome Gliders: Easily accessible options.
•Player-Owned House: Achieve 50 Construction for a mounted glory and portal room, providing teleports across the map.
9. Unlocking Spellbooks
There are four spellbooks in OSRS, with three requiring quests to unlock:
•Lunar Spellbook: Offers utility and training spells.
•Ancient Spellbook: Provides powerful offensive spells like Ice Barrage.
•Arceuus Spellbook: Features utility and necromancy spells, including Thralls, which increase DPS.
Quests to unlock these include Lunar Diplomacy, Desert Treasure I, and A Kingdom Divided.
10. Complete Medium Achievement Diaries
Medium achievement diaries are attainable in the mid-game and offer numerous perks, such as teleports, experience lamps, and daily rewards. Completing these will also help train various skills and complete additional quests.
11. Obtain Rat Bane Weapons
Dropped by the new Skua boss, Rat Bane weapons are excellent for training combat skills. Obtainable with mid-level stats, they provide high experience rates and modest profits.
12. Fire Cape
The Fire Cape, obtained by defeating Jad in the Fight Caves, is a powerful melee cape. While it doesn't have high requirements, achieving it with 75 Ranged and a blowpipe is recommended fora smoother experience.
13. Tier 70-80 Weapons
Upgrading your weapon is crucial in the mid-game. Aim to acquire an Abyssal Whip, Blowpipe, or Trident of the Swamp. For a significant boost, the Tumeken's Fang is an excellent option, though it is more expensive.
14. Grandmaster Quests
Completing at least one Grandmaster quest is a great mid-game goal. Dragon Slayer II, Monkey Madness II, or Song of the Elves are recommended, as they unlock valuable content like Vorkath, Demonic Gorillas, and Prifddinas.
15. Unlock Important Prayers
Unlocking Piety, Rigour, and Augury is crucial for boosting your combat effectiveness. These prayers provide significant stat increases and are more impactful than many gear upgrades.
By focusing on these goals, you can structure your mid-game journey in OSRS, ensuring steady progress and enjoyment. Each goal not only advances your Runescape account but also prepares you for the challenges and opportunities of the late game. Happy scaping!
