Old School Runescape Runelite Plugins

#runescape #gaming

I've been enjoying my time back in Old School Runescape. Such a classic for me. The landscape has changed a lot since 2006 though. There's clients and plugins galore now, no more being limited to a web browser with 1 minute logout timer!

I started a bit in runescape-clients-and-settings and in the last several days I've discovered a few more things that I like.

Logout

There's not a lot of AFK opportunities in OSRS but there are more than there used to be. The primary one is splashing to gain magic xp. It's slow but AFK for as long as you can be. On mobile the logout setting can be changed to 25 minutes so it's easy to leave the game running on my phone for the sake of leveling up a bit.

But I prefer to play on desktop because it's so much more beautiful with the HD 117 GPU plugin noted in runescape-clients-and-settings#GPU. And thankfully that 25 minute logout timer can be set in this client too!

Left Click Drop

When power leveling in things like fishing or woodcutting it's tempting to pair it with leveling in cooking and firemaking but the walking time between fishing, trees, fire etc. does really add up over days and weeks of playing. There are many tactics, but if money is no object (ie. you're not trying to bank a ton of gold right now) then you can focus on fishing or chopping trees and simply dropping inventory as it fills up. This required right-click, select drop, click for every item in your inventory which is so tedious.

Luckily there's a plugin for this!

As you can see you just type the name of the items you want the default left-click to drop and I have willow logs etc. in here from a few leveling sessions recently

Example

By default take this example of wear Zammorak monk bottom

I would never actually want to default drop this item, but let's say I did!

Now the default left-click is drop - super easy

Screenshot

I JUST found this one! There's a screenshot plugin to give you more standardized screenshots of in-game activity...

And then an example of that plugin's screenshot:

Others

Some noteable others are:

  • HD 117 GPU plugin (as noted in runescape-clients-and-settings#GPU)
  • skills progress shows useful information about the skill you're leveling as an overlay
  • Quest Helper is huge for me because some of the runescape quests are legitimately challening, and I'm really here for dad mode... so the quest helper is a lifesaver
