OSRS Maxing Order: What Order Should You Max Your Skills? 

Step 1: 99 Cooking Step 2: 99 Fletching Step 3: Bank Stand at G.E with your new skillcapes, and you have reached the end game!

Would also like to add, in my opinion as you're going through with the 70 in all skills and working on slayer, get the quest Cape. Just like slayer, I strongly believe the questing system in this game is designed to drive your account forward. So many of the best money makers and gear, spells and prayers are locked behind quests, and it will open up the entire game to you whilst steadily putting your acc in a decent spot if you start with the optimal quest guide. Don't destroy yourself by doing it all in one weekend, but with only 155 quests currently in the game, if you just take the time to do 2 quests per day, 2 bird house runs and 2 farming runs, then go off and do whatever chill activity you feel like, you'd be amazed at how quickly that adds up over time. Or even if you approach it way more casually and look at it as something you want to take slowly, even 2-3 quests per week, one tree run and one herb run per day, birdhouses too, over the course of a year the small consistencies will add up significantly.

Step 1. 99 FM at 10 hp while Wintertodt is still viable. Step 2. Base 40s combat. Step 3. At least 40 Agility, preferrably 55. Step 4. Combat until slayer level 75. Step 5. Cooking to 99, unlocks good cooking moneymaking via karambwan. Step 6. Quit, everything else takes too much of your life.

I disagree with farming. It's a very useful and easy 99 and should be done along the way. Don't leave a 99 for last that is going to have you wait multiple hours for stuff to grow

I disagree with Magic not being required until much much later. It still accounts for 70% of your Magic Defense.

I recommend AFKing as much as you can, I have afkd every single skill in this game and it has made it all bearable. I am 2268 total, so so close to finally maxing

High magic is extremely necessary for going for 99 slayer to barrage tasks to make insane gp and xp/hour in catacombs of Kourend.

I recommend touching grass

Video I'd like to see: what you personally think OSRS needs as a whole. Whether that's content suggestions, fixes, overhauls, etc

Doing sullicueps instead of trees gives you a boatload of prayer xp off the fossils, which also give you lamps at the museum

DO NOT max your combat stats without training slayer at the same time. You will quit slayer if you’re 126 combat killing brine rats

Great guide! Only thing I would change is to continue farming at the very beginning with slayer and the other combat skills. It has one of the most useful skillcapes in the game and is also a great passive moneymaker that can be done throughout the entire time of trying to max. Doing it early means you have the skillcape early which will help you get all your other 99's.

Something that is really helping me in my max grind is going for skilling collection logs. Gives more milestones in between levels and builds your account nicely.

If you are planning on fully maxing, including achievement diaries and quests, I'd strongly suggest not following this 'guide' unless you want to be a 124cb normie with 1700 total by the time you burn out because a single mining level takes you 3 hours. Rather: - efficient quest guide wiki until qpc - get skill reqs for all diaries as they unlock valuable areas, items, etc. - while you do this, do AS MANY farm and birdhouse runs as you can to get early cash - either go with gathering skills first to get you money and get the hardest skills out of the way, or get 99 slayer first for the money to max buyable skills - switch up skills A LOT to avoid burning out, nobody enjoys 400h of agility without breaks - join a clan to pvm/skill together with, communities are underrated when it comes to motvation - have fun, don't force yourself

VID starts at 2:30

This guy has absolutely no clue lmfao

Maxing is not for the faint of heart lol

My first was construction, the teleports from 99 con are unreal

before thinking about this list, get the quest cape, efficient quest order list on the wiki. that will get your base stats high

Overall a good video! Doing driftnet fishing grants you 120k hunter xp an hour and 80-100k fishing xp an hour. Also tempoross gets you 100k fish an hour wich is actually a oke minigame. Pickpocketing elves or vyrewatches makes you bank if you wanna do it that way.

I would add: get your quest cape and do your diaries. As early as possible. The xp rewards alone will save you hours of grinding, you’ll unlock the whole map which can give you more training options, you’ll unlock some of the best training gear in the game, you’ll get tons of QOL benefits that will make your Skilling grinds easier. Do your quests and diaries! Also Magic matters because it factors into magic defense and it’s also good for utility and money-making. Think teleports, resurrecting crops, shadow veil, degrime, tan leather, plank make, etc etc. Also yes you do need it for raids

For thieving go 85-99 at elves…made 140m from enhanced crystal teleport seeds

Whatever keeps from burning out, I constantly switch activities and still do skills that are 99 because they're fun

in the end of my wintertodt grind I enjoyed it and had a lot of seeds saved up, if I made an iron man account I would prioritize getting to wintertodt asap so I can start building a bank.

For runecrafting: I completed Sins of the father and mined 90k daeyalt essence. I went from 52 rc to 75 rc in a matter of days. I was averaging 68k xp/hr and after a while It was afkable after some muscle memory. Theres a video of someone achieving 140k xp/hr with colossal pouch, crafting cape, and ring of the elements. This method along with guardians of the rift and occasionally blood rune crafting for gp/hr

Totally respect your opinion but I would place Farming much earlier. The cape is a budget construction cape (farming guild -> spirit tree) and although it may cost money to get 99, you can make it back easily with herb runs.

Im not sure why people say mention slayer along with money. It can be good money if u boss but if u just barrage/cannon or even normal slayer you're still using prayer potions and combat potions which are expensive. I

You might as well do optimal quest guide on the way to base 70 because the highest stat requirements for any grandmaster quest is 70 with higher suggested combat stats for some of them

Video I'd like to see , and that I know pretty much no other Osrs creator has done is. A full guide on the Potions 'most common' -the effect -where/when to use them -is it better to cobine or buy the 'super variant' I feel like its a big topic that nobody really use because its not out there ! *Ps sorry for my English.

For an iron I would say the best start is 1. 99 FM @ WT with cakes 2. 70 Agility @ Rooftops for graceful and fossil shortcut 3. 99+ Thievy and 25M Gold @ Ardy Knights with Rogue's and Ardy Med 4. 85 WC @ Fossil Island Teaks 4. Use Gold and Teaks To Get 84 Con for Max House 5. Now go do whatever you want in whatever order

On my uim I learned that rooftops is a lot more fun when combining with herb and birdhouse runs every 1:20 hours. You'd preferably want a clean inventory on a uim to do herb runs, so 1 inv spot for marks is pretty nice. It's like a thing to look forward to every hour while running and before I knew it I had 99 agility. I don't have to, but I also notice I enjoy rooftops a lot more on my main when I do that there as well.

I would like to propose a few changes: - Start with doing quests for tons of early exp and unlocks (can be included in base 70) - ASAP start doing herb runs for farming exp and turn herbs to potions for herblore exp (You do not lose much if you grow your own herbs.) If it takes few months why leaving it for last? - Do Wintertodt for firemaking exp. Do this before slayer because low HP helps with cheaper sustain in this minigame. - 99 Fishing before slayer if barbarian fishing. Higher starting STR will make slayer faster and the same can not be said about reverse situation. Nevertheless great video with tons of information.

I would have suggested drift net fishing for 70k fishing xp/h and 85k hunter xp/h at the same time.

Step 1: Quest Cape Step 2: All Hard Diaries Step 3: Max Melee After that it really just comes down to what you enjoy doing. I maxed RS2 in 2011. The best advice I can give is to set short term and long term goals. You also don't want to get trapped into the "efficiency" mindset. Just play the how you like and you will get there eventually. Its about the journey, not the destination.

to be fair, magic is actually super useful, for skilling and combat in combat it gives you the majority of your magic defense, and at 99 (unless using shadow) you dont need ancest hat for max hit in skilling spells like plank make are nice for getting mage xp while you get prepped for cons

If the answer is anything but train every skill together, you're going to burn out. I saw a guy yesterday at rune dragons for my task and he was wearing torags with a dhl. He asked me if he should sell the lance for bandos. I imagine he just bought a lance and decided to rebuild with it. I tried to do the same thing with a dhcb back in the day lol and you learn really quickly you can't just do the same thing over and over again.

One thing that took me a long time to truly understand was the cost of training things in a profitable way. A maxed irl friend of mine pushed me out of being stuck in the midgame (i had a quest cape and was still doing barrows and blast furnace as a moneymaker lol). He convinced me to get my first nonquest Vorkath kc. Took me a whole inventory of food to get the kill after dying a few times. Two days later i was getting 2-kill trips. Fast forward about half a year and being mentally pushed into the endgame-ish PvM has netted me a 400m bank (up from 20m back then). I still love Vorkath to death, switched from ranged to melee after i got 99str and im closing in on 99atk too now. How does this go back to understanding the cost of training things profitably? Well, back when i was poor and stuck in midgame, i'd always shy away from training methods that cost money, *because they cost money*. But that costs time, lots of time. And i already knew back then that it's better to have a solid moneymaker and blow cash on leveling fast, but i never played according to that knowledge. *Any method of training a skill that doesn't give me 1.5-2M GP an hour costs me money, and the longer it takes me to level, the more money it costs.* Spend GP training skills, not time. You'll be printing money at ToA or CG or Vorkath once you have the stats, just make sure you get there!

I have a video series idea, not just a video idea. 'Skills: A Completionist Guide'. A series where you do a levelling guide for every skill where the goal is to complete the collection log in the most efficient way possible. With boaty swapping from HC to collection log completion now could be the perfect time for it. It would lead to a very interesting and original way of levelling a skill, with a very compelling goal to achieve.

The crafting cape is awesome! Tele to the crafting guild/bank and running distance to your house if you haven't moved it

Video title : what order should you max your skills AsukaYen OSRS : this video is not about this...but hey this is my new merch go buy it :'D xD

Anyone else seeing this trend of “buy now before its gone forever”? Im kinda getting irritated by it

Honestly doing all quests from the beginning is the best way to go. They also have an efficient quest order guide on the wiki and that also alleviates you from wasting money leveling up skills that you could've got through questing. After that probably maxxing your combat at nmz should be next. Then I would probably follow that up by getting 77-80 prayer. After that, go straight for 99 slayer. You'll then have enough money to level up prayer to 99 and a lot of other skills in that order. After that I would recc doing pvm and finishing out the achievements and grabbing all items. You then should have enough to max all the way

as for defense, its rather efficient to train it through mage or range since both can hit multiple targets ( chinning and bursting ).for example, mm2 cave or even at kourend burstable spot

It has the hidden message "Rune Escape" for a reason.

Buy 300 to 400 of mole claw and same with mole skins, turn in Faldor at garden. Do your bird house runs. Keep all seeds you need for leveling.... Sale all seeds you don't wish to use now or later. Crush all nest. Farming 90% cheaper. SALE pots you make along the way.

You maxing in all the wrong ways amfh

surprisingly, "recoup" is not short for "recuperate"

that magic tree cutting clip was wild. that second log took so long with 99 wc. no wonder I did yews way back in the day.

In whatever order you want lol. Problem solved in under 5 seconds.

quest cape --> achievement cape --> max cape

,ax out your construction to get maxed out portal nexus, jewelry box, altars, rejuvenation pool, pendant etc. will save so much time and all i carry are house tele tabs.

As someone who's 2150 total. Do not do all your buyables first. I did this and it's left me with all skills I can't train while hanging out with people at the grand exchange. Thus meaning theoretically I will never had a reason to be just hanging out at the ge now unless afk.

I actually really like the recommendation of firemaking. However I'd probably reverse it with slayer for that reason, just gun it out at low hp. My current main I gunned out 17m fm exp and the pet at 40hp, so not even as optimally as I could have, but wt just gives you some great starting cash. Slayer and questing will always be the go to recommendation for new players, but wt is a great start for alts. Same goes for temp, quick supplies and gp especially on irons.

Agility before runecrafting helps with less stamina pots

>instantly tells people to do slayer after base 70s I sleep. Though I guess what else is new with AsukaYen.

I’m entirely the opposite. I hate doing long slow boring first. I think it’s better to do the shorter one first and mix longer ones so it at least feels like you are making progress. I have mining, Agil, and rc left and they are the slowest but it feels good in my mind thinking I only have 3 left

What about GOTr ? Or tempoross

the sad thing is that i searched "most efficient way to max all stats osrs" and hit swiftly with the rejection. that's the content i wanted to see :c

Honestly it should be 1) 99 fm 2) cooking 3) mining 4) agility then combats and while you are doing this you should also be working farming in the background

Wintertodt 99 into a questpoint cape kinda goes hard

after every 99, go get 100 kills at random bosses, that way your account will look so much more well rounded when you reach max stats + it will make you a good amount of money, and probably a few pets

I did farming first. But due to time constraints, it was the only skill I could train sometimes

Runecrafting that early will cause a burnout to most people. Leave that to last along with mining and agility , atleast thats what I did.

I’m maxing hunter first because I like money and it’s my favorite skill just red chins til I die. Your way is much smarter though

If you farm the herbs you need for making pots both farming and herblore become very profitable. I do Konar slayer and in between task do my birdhouse runs and herb only farm runs and bank and make pots real quick. Also just getting your POH to have a alter to pray and a hung amy of Glory is must quick way to re-up prayer tele to Edgeville to bank and use either the short cut to G.E for supplies or fairy ring to travel anywhere or to your slayer master. Just doing this I find my self buying new gear for my new high acquired mid/late game stats with out issue. I love magic so I bought quite a bit of stuff sunk about 6m in gear once I got to 75 started to train range and with in a few days ended up getting my new range gear completely baffled at how I'm now wearing 10m in gear and about to add a Toxic blowpipe on top.

There really is no set order for maxing your stats, between combat achievements, diaries, quests, and just general equipment upgrades, you're always going to have a goal that'll push you towards 99. There's no such thing as one 99 being more important than another, it all depends on what your goals are, if it's Elite western diary, then slayer is priority, if slayer is priority then bursting tasks are priority, and if bursting is priority then so is magic. The most important thing to remember is that this game is NOT about efficiency. Don't ever forget, this is a videogame, you're not being paid to play it, you're paying to play it, so ENJOY it. Don't sit there doing the max efficiency 140 actions per minute training method and hate your life, you're just going to get burnt out and quit. It's infinitely more fun, rewarding, and consistent in the long run to just do whatever you enjoy most. Doing the fastest method for 5 hours and hating the game is 100x worse than doing the 5th fastest method all day and having fun.

lmao I love how all the slower methods like fishing and woodcutting are my highest skills because I’m always doing afk and otherwise i’m like ….i have to constantly click? meh

Slayer and thieving is greatttt early and late money. Also starting farming early will make you rich in the end and its fast af. Got to lvl 65 in a few days just doing tree runs.

im on track to have my first 99 on my hcim to be 99 runecraft, agility is my first skill to reach 90, and overall my third highest skill. if i had Sins Of The Father done, it would have been my first or second 99 for sure. i love both of those skills. i dont know what yall are talking about.

Do what you like. Thats all there is to it.

Love how clean your mic sounds! What do you use?

My route so far has been crafting/cooking/farming/ soon to be fletching and then fire making

Bro. We’re here to watch a RuneScape video. Not over 2 minutes of you rambling on before getting to the actual video.

I just know what my order will be, max a fast ish profitable skill, and then push 80’s in all stats, and then max combats. And then just pick a random skill untill all are 90’s

I basically go for quest cape first. Any reward exp i get is one less minute of mindless grinding. Then i pretty much go in the order of what's going to make me money to 99 and use that money to pay for skills that cost the most. Unfortunately construction is on the bottom of the totem poll and i wish it wasn't. Because a fully constructed house makes skilling a hell of alot easier.

I really dont think getting combat stats to 70 should be the very first thing you do… getting to 70 and then to 99 basically requires completing quests for much better gear first. For example, doing Animal magmatism and unlocking the accumulator is basically mandatory when training range. And in order to do that quest, you need crafting, woodcutting, and slayer skills. Getting these skills up first and doing the quest should be tied in with range training. However if the whole point of this video is for this to be like an “training skills only” run then sure

All skills are important haha. 99 herblors enters the chat

For *efficiency* I think you have to start with 99 agility because the run energy makes everything else more efficient. Other than that, basically start with all of the collecting skills for profit and then use all of those resources to get the other 99's. For melee do that with Slayer until Slayer is maxed. For any remaining combat 99's do NMZ, defensive casting ice barrages, and chin/ice barrage. Idk 3-tick barbarian fish, 1-tick drop cooking, 2-tick iron ore. Then hate yourself for not enjoying the game lol.

The biggest disagreement I have is getting 99 attack before defense. While slaying, 70-85 attack is more than enough to kill most slayer monsters and good enough to kill bosses at 85, while getting 99 defense will save you additional food and allow you to stay a few extra kills on whatever you're doing AND is not exclusive to melee. 99 mage is also useful early on as well since like defense will help you stay longer at trips you need magic defense for. (bloodvelds if you're not using prayer etcetc)

I've yet to max any skills. The way I'm going through it now is to advance my skills in relation to the quests. The more I unlock from the quest lists, the more I find myself leveling up unused skills. So like right now I've got a couple of terribly low scores in hunting and construction, but I find that hunting is incredibly fast to level up and construction can wait. Although I find construction incredibly rewarding, it's expensive. So a couple of impasses I've run into is I've reached Monkey Madness 1 on my quest list and I'm towards the end of chapter two. I'm dreading having to into the Ape Atoll dungeon a second time for the monkey greegree to finish out that chapter. So I've been putting it off for what feels like two weeks. As for Slayer, I think I'm at 44 slayer and I was tasked with killing something like 98 dragons and I'm only 74 combat level, so I've put that off as well. I find farming a relaxing way to make some daily gp and I make the majority of my money selling cooked swordfish and alching maple long bows, which pays for itself as long as I cut my own wood, and that's pretty fast with the dragon axe.

this myth that slayer makes you a ton of money .... honestly up until the late 80s or even 90s you are kind of breaking even or maybe make a small amount of money. At least if you train it efficiently. Firemaking depends on your hp lvl but honestly it you do slayer first then you are already fucked and you are not gonna be able to really make profit with firemaking. if you wanna be efficient 99 firemaking should be the very first to knock out . And i think a good thing to know is that efficient should not only mean "fastest way to 99" because most skills bring no beneftis past lvl 90 or so. Its way more efficient to grind out certain items etc. on your way to 99 otherwise you gonne do that after hitting 99 and you gonna overshoot in these skills by a llot. Just look for things that you wanna unlock and grind these. you gonna feel happy more often and youll have unlocked almost everything at the point you reach lvl 99

honestly... agility first. then magic. agility at maxed will give so many benefits and getting a full grace makes running everywhere so much better. and the shortcuts. then magic for the heaps of teleports all over the place. but before magic u can just get amulet and rings. after that i guess i would get either thieving or slayer. but on my alt for now im trying to max my agility as its my money maker in the future. and doing stuff like runs and blast furnace with 99 agil seems awesome.

Great vid but imo 99 cons money sink can wait until far later, the main thing is to get the spirit tree/fairy ring combo, then you can stop there until far later into the game.

If you save the fish logs gems and ore from training your fishing woodcutting and mining then you could not spend money on those materials and maximize your profit especially if you keep some of those materials from smithing and crafting to train your magic with high alchemy. Full grind mode

Pleaseee do something that says 'Selling Rune Scimmys 17k ea', full blown 2007 vibes, much love man!

When me melee stats got to 70. I got Def to 75, then rushed to 82 attack to get the fang because of its accuracy, it helps train strength. My xp rates in NMZ with just obsidian armour are pretty close to using the Dharok 1hp method

Lord 2:00 before the video starts

Fastest way to get to bandos gwd for fsw profit to swap with

Regarding the order of leveling combat skills, I ran a calculation the other day to find out for myself. I compared going from mid 80's to 99 with a whip in controlled vs whip for atk, def and bludgeon for str. Using a controlled whip was 3% slower against the average afk mob in NMZ. So it's not as insane of a difference as it seems at least against those low defense mobs. I'm personally choosing to use controlled whip to level since the total amount of levels will come in faster until the very end, which will help with getting in range of end game content.

99 fming is clutch for some quests where you need a light source also wintertold gives decent drops for other skills or even start cash. I did 99 cooking,fming then fleching alcing all the bows and made 20 mill plus to start with

thank you so much, really enjoyed the video, it has given me great insight on how to take my account from here on out, keep up the amazing videos

drink a shot everytime he says 99

7:30 of intro... wtf... Skip to 7:30 for the video

My problem with this game is I only log on to do slayer and to me after I got finished with ds2 I've been camping slayer for years now I'm so burnt out of slayer it makes me want to log out but I still try to fight it because I don't want to fall behind.

I 3 ticked 91 fishing and i would def rather temp to 99

I disagree with doing combat all the way to 99 first. If your goal is maxing, knocking combat out too early will leave you with 17 Grindy skills left that aren’t very fun. Also you said you weren’t gonna be the most efficient but getting 99 combats and slayer first is the definition of efficient in 2023

Hold up, "coozie" is the less used term? I've never heard anyone call a coozie anything else.

I would suggest doing herb runs while getting the others and farming is very profitable then

Ah yes, knowledge I love to hear that I will never use
