RSorder OSRS: Blighted Supplies Aren't Just for the Wilderness

[Stellaol]

Old School RuneScape is packed with obscure mechanics, niche optimisations, and small quality-of-life tricks that most players never learn. With so many new players joining OSRS every year, knowing these lesser-known tips can save you dozens of hours and millions of RuneScape gold over the life of your account. This beginner-friendly guide highlights some of the most useful facts and methods that can significantly improve your efficiency across skilling, combat, and general gameplay.

Faster Marks of Grace With Rooftops and the Worm Course

Most players grind Marks of Grace by endlessly looping rooftop agility courses, but there's a better way. After a Mark of Grace spawns on a rooftop course, that course enters a three-minute cooldown where no additional marks can appear. Instead of wasting that downtime, you can teleport to Civitas Illa Fortis and run the worm agility course.

While completing one or two worm laps during the cooldown, you'll collect termites, which can later be traded for Amylase packs. Those packs can then be sold back to Grace for Marks of Grace. This method sacrifices a small amount of agility XP but increases marks per hour by roughly 25%. It also breaks up the monotony of traditional rooftop training. Over an hour, this method can net over 25 Marks of Grace alongside solid agility XP and a small bonus in Prayer and Magic experience.

Blighted Supplies Aren't Just for the Wilderness

Blighted food and potions work in Castle Wars and Ferox Enclave, making them extremely cheap pre-PvM preparation tools. For example, blighted anglerfish can be eaten in the Castle Wars lobby to gain an overheal without stepping into the Wilderness.

A common setup involves restoring stats at your POH pool, teleporting to Castle Wars via a jewellery box, and pre-buffing with blighted food and combat potions. Blighted super restores are especially useful for accounts without an ornate pool, costing only a fraction of regular potions. Ferox Enclave offers similar benefits, allowing budget players to restore stats and overheal using minimal supplies.

Ring of Returning: Underrated and Extremely Useful

The Ring of Returning teleports your character to their respawn point, which can be changed to various locations throughout the game. This makes it a powerful and cheap teleport option early on.

You can set your spawn to OSRS GP Lumbridge, Varrock, Camelot, Ardougne, or even more advanced locations like Great Kourend Castle, Prifddinas, or Civitas Illa Fortis. For accounts with extra GP, Edgeville and Ferox Enclave spawns are also options. With five charges per ring and extremely low cost, it's one of the most overlooked teleport items in OSRS.
