How we write guides
Everything here is written for this site. We do not reproduce content from the OSRS Wiki or anywhere else, and where the wiki is the better source for something — drop tables, quest walkthroughs, item history — we link to it rather than paraphrasing it.
Guides carry a published date and an updated date, and the updated date only changes when the content changes. A timestamp that moves because a script ran is not an update, and treating it as one is a small dishonesty that adds up.
Where a guide quotes a number — a GP per hour figure, an experience rate, a margin — it is presented as an estimate with its assumptions stated. Rates in Old School RuneScape depend on prices, gear and attention, and pretending otherwise would make the guide less useful, not more.
Some guides embed a video from a creator we did not commission and are not affiliated with. Nothing is requested from YouTube until you press play — see our privacy policy for how that works.
