Expedition 20: Breach Redux is one of the many time-limited Expeditions in No Man’s Sky, and it’s a fairly lengthy one if you’re going in blind.

Since it’s time-limited, though, you no doubt want to clear it as fast as possible. Conveniently, you can actually finish it in around 2 hours if you know what to do! It’s not that bad, all things considered.

Read on, we’ll show and tell you everything you need to do to complete every Milestone for this Expedition quickly.

Starting the Expedition

As usual, there are two ways to start the Expedition. You either start a new Expedition save or use the Expedition terminal at the Space Anomaly on an old save.

We highly recommend using the Space Anomaly on an old save. Doing so will allow you to store away some resources that you can collect once the Space Anomaly becomes available during the Expedition itself. This can speed up progress quite a bit!

If you do this, here’s a shopping list of everything you should bring with you:

• 1 Warp Cell
• 5 Solar Mirrors
• 5 Quantum Computers
• 5 Metal Platings
• 100 Magnetized Ferrite
• 100 Oxygen
• 3 Di-Hydrogen Jellies
• 12 Radiant Shards
• 192 Polished Stones
• Hazmat Gauntlet
• Advanced Mining Laser

If you don’t have these materials, or at least not all of them, don’t worry! We’ll tell you how to get them when they become relevant. So, they’re not mandatory, they just help speed things up a bit.

Also, make sure to claim rewards from Milestones as soon as you complete them. They’ll give you the resources required for later Milestones, so don’t forget to pick them up.

On that note, don’t install Modules you get from Milestones unless they’re actually needed. If you keep them, you can sell them for Nanite later on.

Lastly, make sure to avoid black holes in the middle of the Expedition unless we tell you otherwise. They’ll take you far away from where you need to go, wasting your time.

With all of those basics laid down, it’s time to go over the Expedition itself!

Early Expedition

1. Farming the Basics

Gather the bare minimum required materials. If you brought everything we mentioned in the introduction, you’ll need the following:

• 30 Oxygen
• 150 Ferrite Dust
• 175 Quartzite
• 50 Carbon

If you’re starting with nothing at all, you’ll need the following instead:

• 60 Oxygen
• 400 Ferrite Dust
• 400 Quartzite
• 120 Di-Hydrogen
• 100 Carbon

2. Find Your Ship

Follow the in-game marker to find your ship. Claim the Personal Refiner from this step and use it to turn 50 Ferrite Dust into 50 Pure Ferrite and all Quartzite into Chromatic Metal. Craft 1 Metal Plating.

Use the Repair Kit on your ship and the materials you’ve accumulated so far to repair it fully.

3. Shooting the Asteroids

Get on your Starship and fly off the planet, then shoot down 15 Asteroids.

4. Zuppa Desert +

Fly to the “Zuppa Desert +” planet and collect 5 Sulphide Crystals from underwater vents there. While you’re at it, scan and document any aquatic creature over 6kg. Install the Optical Drill you got as a reward.

5. Space Station Visit

Go to the nearest Space Station and sell the Crystal Sulphide at the main terminal, then buy all Carbon. Craft 5 Carbon Nanotubes and 5 Microprocessors. Refine your remaining Carbon into Condensed Carbon.

6. Leaving the System

Craft 1 Warp Cell if you already brought one via the Space Anomaly. If you didn’t, craft 2. Use this to make and fuel a Hyperdrive.

Once you’re done, go back out to space and warp to the Aitoig-Bifor system.

Between the Stars

1. Space Anomaly Unlocked

After your first warp, the Space Anomaly will become available. You can visit it to retrieve the materials you brought at the start, if you did.

2. Friends in Odd Places

Track the “Friends in Odd Places” milestone and follow it by warping to Rensayst XVIII. Visit the “Spicey” planet there. Feed and adopt any weird floating creature on the planet.

3. Dereliction

Use the Emergency Signal Scanner you got from the rewards so far until you find a Derelict Freighter. Approach it and explore it fully by getting the Security Credentials and interacting with the 3 main terminals.

If you didn’t bring materials via the Space Anomaly at the start, make sure you collect 40 Sodium and 100 Oxygen from floating capsules in the freighter.

Even if you did bring materials, though, try looting everything you can just in case.

Install the Hyperdrive module from the rewards here. Also craft and install a Hazmat Gauntlet.

4. Metamorphosis

Go back to space and fly to the “Nadleyvo” planet. Find and collect any Vile Larva (or Grub) there. Return to your Starship and activate the Pulse Engine once you do, then crush the Vile Larva from your inventory.

Yet Another System

1. Timestamp: 1

Track the “Timestamp: 1” milestone and follow its marker to another system and planet. Just reach the marked spot for the milestone.

2. Space Station Visit

Go to the nearest Space Station. Store the S-Class Hyperdrive from your Starship, transfer everything from the Starship inventory to your own.

If you didn’t bring materials via the Space Anomaly, sell all cooking-related rewards you got. Buy all Carbon and 5 Microprocessors. Also mine 200 Gold and 150 Silver from asteroids. Then craft 5 Solar Mirrors, 5 Quantum Computers, 3 Di-Hydrogen Jellies, and 5 Metal Platings.

Also, refine 90 Magnetized Ferrite, buy 2 Wiring Looms, and craft 1 Carbon Nanotube.

Either way, craft a Debris Rangefinder with all of these materials.

3. Door to the Stars

Track this Milestone and use the Corvette Workshop at the Space Station to make a Corvette-class Starship. Install the Hypedrive on it, it’ll be your main Starship from now on.

4. Shipbreaking

Use the Debris Rangefinder to locate and explore a wreckage. Loot everything from it, especially its log. Install the Aqua Jets you get.

5. Katr Gamma (Optional)

If you didn’t bring materials via the Space Anomaly, stop by “Katr Gamma.” Use the Advanced Mining Laser to get 12 Radiant Shards for “Radiance” here.

Warping Around Some More

1. Timestamp: 2 and Diving

As before, track this milestone and simply follow it to the marked location. Build a Nautilon Platform on that planet, as well.

Install the Humboldt Drive from the previous rewards and dive 800u down for another milestone. While at the bottom of the sea, find and collect 3 Shards of Sea Glass.

2. Lost in Time

Craft 4 Debris Rangefinders and use one until you find another shipwreck. Loot it and collect its log for this milestone.

3. Timestamp: 3 and Cosmic Horrors

Same old, same old! Track the milestone and follow it to the marked location. On the planet it takes you to, fight against the Hungering Tendrils at the Titan Worm Burrow. Defeat 10 of the biological horrors they summon, then defeat 3 tendrils.

4. The Fate of the Stars

Activate yet another Debris Rangefinder to find another shipwreck, the 3rd so far. Loot it, making sure to collect its log, as usual.

Moons and Blackholes

1. Timestamp: 4

You’re tired of reading it by now, but it’s the same as before: track the milestone and follow the marker. Collect 5 Storm Crystals on the planet it takes you to for another milestone, as well.

2. Lunar Cluster

Visit all of the moons in the current system. Use the Discoveries tab to track the moons you haven’t discovered yet to make this a lot easier.

3. Frail Bodies

Use another Debris Rangefinder, find another shipwreck, and collect its log.

4. No Time for Caution

We told you not to go into black holes unless told otherwise, right? This is the “otherwise” we were hinting at! Track the “No Time for Caution” milestone and jump into the black hole it takes you to.

This will take you to the same system required for “Timestamp: 5”. So track that milestone and follow its marker to complete it, as well.

Finishing Up

1. Scanning and Gathering

On the same planet for “Timestamp: 5”, scan 5 different creatures and gather 192 Polished Stones to complete two more milestones. Refine some of the Polished Stones into Pure Ferrite.

2. Grave Robber

Track the milestone and collect all of the bone types it asks for to assemble a complete fossil. Place a Quadruped Fossil Display, fill it out, and package it to complete the milestone.

3. Reborn in Song

Same song and dance as some previous milestones here. Use a Debris Rangefinder to locate a shipwreck and collect its log.

4. Hooked and Jellyflesh

Install the Fishing Rig you got from the previous rewards and go back to the planet from before. Land near water and catch 3 fish for the milestone.

Then, continue fishing until you get the Spawn of Arcadia. Release it to summon a boss. Defeat the boss to complete the last milestone and finish the Expedition!

Claiming Rewards

Now that all milestones are done, you just need to finish the Expedition by visiting the Space Anomaly. You can end it on the same terminal that you started it, if using an old save.

You can also visit a Space Station to sell unwanted modules for Nanites at this point. Alternatively, you can just keep them and transfer them back to your main save when you finish.

Either way, you can also go pay the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion a visit on the Space Anomaly to claim rewards!

That’s everything you need to do Expedition 20: Breach Redux as quickly as possible in No Man’s Sky. It’s still a lengthy one, but this should be the fastest way.

First, it was the Rocketeers, now it’s the Bastions that you need to throw Snowballs at for the current Weekly Trial in ARC Raiders!

Thankfully, Bastions are a bit easier to hit with these snowballs. They are larger, slower, and they’re not flying all over the place. But they are also dangerous and threatening, so you need to be careful.

In this guide, we’ll tell you an easy method to complete this weekly trial safely.

The Trial Basics

For the most part, this weekly trial works similarly to the one for Rocketeers before it. We recommend checking out our guide on the Rocketeers trial too, as it tells you the best way to farm a lot of Snowballs in preparation!

Now, the upside here is that Bastions aren’t flying all over the place. So, they’re a lot easier to deal with than Rocketeers. The basics remain the same, though: find and disable a Bastion so that you can dump your loadout of Snowballs into it.

For this trial, the best map is Spaceport during the Cold Snap event. More specifically, you’ll want to go to the Rocket Assembly building on the northeastern part of the map.

Do note, the Cold Snap event isn’t really required to throw Snowballs. However, as the clip above shows, there are 3 snow piles inside the building while the event is on. This allows you to get some more Snowballs, which is quite convenient!

As for your loadout, you want to bring a solid weapon exclusively for damaging the Bastion’s legs. You don’t want too much damage, though, you only need to disable the legs!

We also recommend bringing a solid weapon for PvP, just in case you need to deal with other players. They’re likely to show up as they try this same method or are simply drawn in by the noise. A combination of Venator and Stitcher should work well here.

That aside, we recommend the Looting Mk. 3 (Cautious) Augment. It gives you more inventory space. Don’t bring too much ammo with your loadout either, try to fill your inventory with Snowballs instead.

With those basics down, it’s now time to go over the method itself!

The Method

Now, to complete the trial, you want to first go a bit southwest from the Rocket Assembly building. You can usually find a Bastion around the area. Try to safely get its attention by firing a couple of shots at it.

Once the Bastion is focused on you, start backing up into the Rocket Assembly building and kite the Bastion into it. In there, you want to use the tanks inside the building to hide from the Bastion.

This allows you to easily take shots at the Bastion while remaining relatively safe! At this point, you just need to shoot at its legs to disable it.

After you manage to disable the Bastion’s legs, you just need to start throwing Snowballs at it! That’s all that’s left at this point, just empty your inventory onto it.

Thanks to it being disabled and the tanks inside of the building, you can stay pretty safe while doing this. Plus, you can use the nearby piles of snow to get some extra Snowballs, if the Cold Snap event is active.

So, there you have it! That’s the gist of everything you need to do to complete the “Throw Snowballs at Bastions” Weekly Trial with ease in ARC Raiders. Now that you know the method, you just need to grind it out.

Update 7: Wake of the Water didn’t just add a lot of new elements to Enshrouded, it also had a lot of balance changes that shifted what the best builds are.

There is honestly a bit of everything when it comes to strong builds in this game! There are powerful archers who dominate from range, brawling barbarians that never stop swinging, and otherworldly spellcasters that decimate their foes.

Now, let’s look at 5 of the best builds in the game. We guarantee that at least one of them will fit your preferences!

Best Builds After Update 7 | Enshrouded: Wake of the Water

Assassin – Dagger Specialist

To start with, we have the Assassin build. This one focuses on using daggers and bows, both of which scale with the Dexterity stat. This is convenient for building, and it’s a stat that also got some buffs with the latest update!

The main advantage of this build is going all out and dealing insane burst damage. On top of that, you’ll be quite versatile and mobile. You’ll be ready to take on anything the game throws at you!

This is even better if you can manage to use stealth to get quick sneak attacks. These can instantly kill or at least greatly weaken enemies. That said, stealth isn’t exactly super reliable in this game, so it’s not your main focus.

As a bonus, this build can also make great use of daggers that add effects such as Poison. This gives you some consistent damage over time on top of your high burst damage.

When it comes to the skills to look out for, you’ll mainly want to focus on the Beastmaster skill tree and any Dexterity and Endurance skills.

There are hundreds of skills in this game, so we’ll simplify things by giving some of the must-have standouts:

• Battle Heal
• Dagger Master
• Expose Weakness
• Multishot
• Quick Reflex Block
• Ranger
• Slice and Dice
• Venomous Blades

Wizard – All Your Spellcasting Needs

If you want the spellcaster power fantasy, this is the build for you. It focuses entirely on using the staff and wand alongside with a focus on the Intelligence and Spirit stats.

Basically, you’ll want to raise your Intelligence as much as possible to boost your damage. Then, supplement by building up your Spirit to increase your Mana pool, allowing for more casts.

As you can imagine, this build is a master of the elements and is capable of dishing out insane damage. Both single-target and area-of-effect damage, too!

The main drawback is, of course, you’re going to be purely a glass cannon. You don’t get a lot of survivability, as you will want to focus purely on damage. But hey, you can’t die if you kill all of your enemies first, right?

When it comes to your Skill selection, you want to focus primarily on anything that boosts your Intelligence and Spirit. That aside, here are some of the must-have standouts to go for:

• Blink
• Mass Destruction
• Radiant Aura
• Water Aura
• Wizard

Barbarian – Two-Handed Brawler

If the previous builds aren’t really your playstyle, how about we swing things to the opposite end? The Barbarian build focuses all in on using two-handed weapons and being sturdy enough to survive any brawl!

With this build, you’ll mainly want to focus on Strength for damage and Constitution to boost your health. Your weapon of choice will be any two-handed weapon, though you’ll also want to keep a bow or wand around for utility.

With this setup, you’ll have an easy time with all melee encounters. Your damage and Health pool will allow you to outlive most of your foes with ease!

The one downside is, of course, your lack of ranged options. You can use a bow or wand for some utility and ranged combat but… well, your stats just mean they’ll do very little damage. Only use in case of emergency!

With all of that said, here are some of the key skills you want to grab:

• Any Skill that fits the damage type of your weapon of choice (Cutting for greatswords, for example)
• Backstab Damage
• Barbarian
• Battle Heal
• Blood Rage
• Feast
• Jump Attack

Battlemage – Tank and Cast

How about mixing things up? A versatile spellcasting build that can also do well in melee-range encounters! Basically, a more sturdy spellcaster choice, if the Wizard before sounded too squishy for your taste.

This build focuses mainly on survivability and utility. Your weapons of choice will be a wand with a shield for most occasions, with a staff as a secondary choice for ranged combat.

Using the wand as your main weapon also has the benefit of making Mana management a lot easier. It restores Mana naturally, allowing you to not run out as easily in longer encounters!

For your stats, you’ll mainly focus on Intelligence to boost your damage and Constitution to give you a larger Health pool. You’ll really be going all in on the idea of being a tanky mage!

The main drawback of this build is that it doesn’t have the best damage output. It sacrifices potential magic damage for survivability. Also, you’ll need to get comfortable with swapping between both of your weapons often.

Now, when it comes to skills, these are the main ones to look out for:

• Blink
• Life Burst
• Shared Misery
• Tower
• Unity
• Wand Master
• Water Aura

Archer – Ranged Supremacy

This list started with a bow user, so we figure it’s only fitting to end with a different flavor of bow user! In fact, this is basically a reverse of that build, as you’ll use your bow as your primary and your daggers as a backup.

As before, you’ll mainly focus on Dexterity to boost your damage. However, you’ll also want to invest in Intelligence to benefit from some skills that boost your survivability. Water Aura is the biggest example of this.

Since you’ll stay out of range from most enemies, this is also a very safe build with great survivability. The damage isn’t lacking either, even when dealing with groups!

The main weakness of this build is that focusing purely on bows can be very resource-intensive. You’ll often have to scavenge a lot to craft your high-end arrows, like Explosive Arrows. Plus, progression can be rough until you get some unlocks like the Eternal Ice Arrow.

With that said, here’s a quick list of the main skills to aim for:

• Chain Reaction
• Multishot
• Ranger
• Sharpshooter
• Shell Shock
• Water Aura

And with that, we finish this list of the best Enshrouded builds after Update 7 – Wake of the Water!

Want more help and info about this update? Well, we also have a guide on how to get the unique gear in this update! Check out our guide on how to get all the new items and gear.

The post Enshrouded: Best Builds After Update 7 (Wake of the Water) appeared first on Games Fuze.

The Wake of the Water update for Enshrouded didn’t just add some water for you to swim in, it also added a bunch of new items and gear pieces!

There is quite a lot of new gear, a lot of it providing upgrades to the new swimming mechanics. Others are more “standard”, like legendary weapons and unique gear that fit specific builds.

In this guide, we’ll tell you the locations of all the new unique items and gear we know of!

How to Get All New Items and Gear | Enshrouded – Wake of the Water Update

Flaming Gauntlets

For this one, you’ll need to head to the Gateway Outpost “Endflame.” It’s on the spot shown above, on the northwestern part of Cromville.

To get the Flaming Gauntlets, we recommend starting from the top of the nearby cliffs. Then, glide down towards the Endflame itself and enter the largest house, following the route shown above.

You just have to pick the locked door on the bottom floor of the house to reach the golden chest with the gauntlets!

Golden War Hero Axe

Much like the Flaming Gauntlets, this weapon can also be found at the Gateway Outpost “Endflame”. Again, the map above serves as a reference for its location.

As before, gliding down from the nearby cliffs is the easiest way to get this treasure. This time, though, you need to aim for the largest watchtower. It’s the one with the broken roof, as shown above.

Drop down into the tower through its roof’s hole and then follow the route above to reach a room with a chest. Open that chest up to get the Golden War Hero Axe.

Diving Helm

This time around, you’ll want to head to the Drak’Dal Temple near Starfish Shores. It’s northwest of the Veilwater Basin Ancient Spire, roughly in the spot marked above.

Once you reach the temple, you want to enter it through the top. Then, mine the ground next to the frame so that you can drop further down into the water below. Interact with the skeleton underwater to get the helmet.

We highly recommend picking this one up as soon as possible, since it gives you +60 Maximum Oxygen! What better way to enjoy all of the new underwater wonders in Wake of the Water, right?

If you want a more detailed guide to the Drak’Dal Temple and its puzzles, we can help! Check out our Diving Helm Drak’Dal Temple guide.

Swimfins

Well, the Diving Helm made you breathe longer underwater. So, it’s now time to speed up your swimming! For this one, go to Goldrock Saddle, north of the Veilwater Basin Ancient Spire.

Do note, you need to have upgraded your flame to dispel the Deadly Shroud! Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive here.

To find the Swimfins, go into the village’s servers and search for the wooden blockage shown above. Cut it down with an axe and then follow the route shown above in the Shrouded area. Open the golden chest behind the locked steel gate to get the treasure.

Drakian Boots

You’ll need to fight for these boots, so get ready for combat. Once you’re ready, head to the Drak’Dal Camp west of the Starfish Shores.

In that camp, you’ll need to defeat the large Drak boss there. They are the leader of the camp, and will drop the Drakian Boots upon defeat! It’s as simple as that.

Lucky Fishing Rod

Next up, you’ll want to go to the Suspicious Drak’Dal Ruin east of Starfish Shores. As always, the map above shows its location.

Once you reach the ruins, follow the clip above. Essentially, you have to stand in the very middle of the ruins and start mining with a Pickaxe. This will reveal the chest containing the Lucky Fishing Rod.

Circlet of Lightning

This time, go south of the Suspicous Drak’Dal Ruin where you found the Lucky Fishing Rod right before. You’ll find a Drak’Dal Camp there. Be ready for combat, though!

Deal with the Draks in the camp as you see fit. Once the coast is clear, you should see the glowing skull shown above. Interact with it to claim the Circlet of Lightning! The skull doesn’t look like it needs any more, anyway.

Guard of the North Sword

You can find this legendary sword at the large castle in Cromville, which is marked on the map above.

Once you reach the castle, you want to follow the route above to reach the dining hall next to the throne room. This is the same dining hall where you can unlock the new arch and Greek column building pieces, by the way!

Then, open the large door on the eastern side of the dining hall. You should see a training dummy right in front of you at the end of the hall. Grab the sword from the dummy and you’re done.

That’s the last unique new gear piece we know of so far in Enshrouded: Wake of the Water, so that ends our list! There are still other new generic pieces you can craft, and we might have missed some accidentally, but we hope this helps you with your collection.

Great White Sharks can be quite tough in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), especially if you’re planning on farming them.

Besides their toughness, they’re also the only source of the extremely rare Broken Dragon Hook. This item is required for the best salvaging hook upgrade, but it’s going to require a lot of shark kills to get!

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to easily combat and farm Great White Sharks.

How to Combat and Farm Great White Sharks | OSRS

Preparation and Basics

First off, let’s talk about the mechanics and basics of sailing combat here. The first thing is that you’ll want to avoid using any expensive ranged ammo types when fighting at sea. That’s no different when dealing with Great White Sharks.

The reason for that is that there’s a massive penalty to your ranged weapons’ damage while Sailing. You’ll only do about 25% of your full damage, so it would be wasteful to use more expensive ammo.

This somewhat extends to your Cannons as well. Sure, using more expensive cannonballs does increase your Max Hit drastically, as we covered in our guide on how to deal more damage with cannons.

However, if you’re planning to farm the Great White Sharks, you’re better off sticking to Bronze Cannonballs. They are much cheaper than the rarer ones, so you can buy loads for pretty cheap and their damage is serviceable enough!

On the other hand, make sure to get the best possible Keel and Hull upgrades via ship customization. They will raise your ship’s Hit Points and Armour, which will be crucial for surviving against Great White Sharks.

This is important to offset the lower Max Hit potential of using cheaper cannonballs. Slightly longer fights means you need to be tankier!

Similarly, it’s also highly recommended to bring as many Repair Kits as you can. You’ll need them to repair your ship and heal, after all.

Lastly, it’s also highly recommended to have two crewmates with high Privateering assigned to your cannons. Have them handle the cannons so that you’re free to use ranged weapons for some extra DPS, however small.

Recommended Farming Spot and Method

With those basics laid down, there’s one spot we recommend for killing and farming Great White Sharks easily. It’s southwest of the Lunar Isle, as shown on the map above.

If you have access to Tile Markers, such as by using the RuneLite client, here are the markers for this farming spot. They tell you how to position your boat to farm the Great White Sharks in the area.

[{"regionId":7995,"regionX":11,"regionY":42,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":10,"regionY":42,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":9,"regionY":42,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":12,"regionY":41,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":12,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":12,"regionY":39,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":11,"regionY":38,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":10,"regionY":38,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":9,"regionY":38,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":6,"regionY":38,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":2,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":6,"regionY":42,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":1,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":14,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":16,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"},{"regionId":7995,"regionX":18,"regionY":40,"z":0,"color":"#FF0054CB"}]

Remember, you can import Tile Markers by copying them and then right-clicking on your minimap. Then, just select “Import Ground Markers.”

If you do use the Tile Markers, the most important part is to align your boat with them. Mainly, you want to align the bowsprit to be exactly in the center.

Aligning yourself properly here will allow both of your cannons to fire forward, hitting the sharks without needing to do any tricks! This drastically increases your damage output and makes the farm easier.

What’s more, if you’re positioned like the example above, this also works as a safespot for your character. The sharks can still damage your boat, but not you directly!

This positioning trick should work when fighting Great White Sharks at any spot, not just this farming spot. You just have to align your bowsprit with the center of the shark’s tiles.

By doing this, you can quite easily and safely farm Great White Sharks for hours. You just need to make sure to have plenty of cannonballs and Repair Kits and you’re set!

So, there you have it, that’s our guide on how to easily combat and farm Great White Sharks in OSRS. We hope this helps you get that ultra-rare Broken Dragon Hook!

Varlamore and Fossil Island are two major locations that you can visit relatively early in Old School RuneScape (OSRS).

There are Members-only areas that you can unlock through progressing in the game. That said, it can be hard to figure out which quests you need to do to reach each one!

In this guide, we’ll help you reach both of these areas as easily and quickly as possible.

How to Get to Varlamore and Fossil Island | OSRS

Varlamore

To get access to Varlamore, you’ll first need to complete the Children of the Sun quest. This is a very simple quest that you can start by talking to Noah or Alina at Varrock Square, shown above.

When talking to them, simply choose “When will the delegation arrive?” to start a cutscene. Once the cutscene ends, you’ll be forced to tail a suspicious guard carrying a strange sack.

After the tailing mission, you’ll need to speak to Sergeant Tobyn at Varrock Square to report what you’ve found… there are bandits pretending to be guards nearby!

Tobyn will then ask you to find the 4 disguised bandits and mark them. They can all be found wandering around Varrock Square, just look for the following telltale signs:

• A guard sleeping outside of Aris’ tent.
• A female guard without a helmet wandering around Benny’s news stand.
• An unarmed guard leaning against one of the walls of Lowe’s Archery Emporium.
• A mace-wielding guard to the east of Varrock Square.

Once you’ve marked them all, return to Sergeant Tobyn and watch the events unfold. Then talk to Sergeant Tobyn one last time in the cell after the interrogation cutscene. Quest completed!

At this point, all that’s left is for you to go south of the eastern gate out of Varrock. You’ll find Regulus Cento, a quetzal keeper, there. Just talk to him and he’ll offer to take you to Varlamore using his quetzal. That’s all there is to it!

Fossil Island

Like with Varlamore, you’ll need to complete a quest to unlock access to Fossil Island. In this case, you’ll need to complete the Bone Voyage quest. Start it by talking to Curator Haig Halen at the Varrock Museum about interesting news.

This quest is fairly simple, but it can take a while to complete as it does require you to move around a lot and talk with a lot of NPCs. So, let us give you a quick step-by-step on how to complete it.

First, talk to the Barge Foreman at the Canal Barge north of the Digsite in Varrock.

Go northwest from the barge to reach the Sawmill. Talk to the Sawmill Operator there and tell him you’re here on behalf of the museum archeological team to get the Sawmill Proposal.

Then, visit the Woodcutting Guild in Hosidius. Talk to Berry by the eastern gate if you can’t enter the guild proper. Otherwise, enter the guild and show the Sawmill Proposal to the Sawmill Operator.

Return to the Varrock Sawmill Operator and deliver the Sawmill Agreement to him.

Go to the Barge Foreman again. This time, he’ll ask you to enter the barge itself. Do so whenever you’re ready.

On the barge, talk to the Lead Navigator and confirm you’re here to help with the voyage.

Next, go to the Rusty Anchor Inn at Port Sarim. Talk to Jack Seagull there and ask if he’s ever made any cursed voyages. You’ll get a pair of options, but your character is undecided.

Return to the barge at the Digsite in Varrock again. Enter the barge and talk with the Lead Navigator, where you’ll agree to get both options Jack Seagull mentioned.

Uncursing the Cursed Voyage

Now, visit the Limestone Mine north of the Digsite. Talk to the Odd Old Man there and tell him about the cursed voyage to get the Bone Charm.

Then, go southwest of Varrock Square and talk to the Apothecary there. Select “talk about something else” and then “talk about Bone Voyage.”

Bring 1 Marrentill Potion (unf) and 2 Bottles of Vodka to the Apothecary and he’ll give you the Potion of Sealegs.

Return to the barge at the Digsite and deliver both the charm and potion to the Lead Operator. Select “I’m ready” to depart for Fossil Island whenever you’re ready.

Sadly, the potion made some of the crew pass out. It’s now your duty to steer the ship in their stead to go to Fossil Island. Use the controls on the bottom right to ensure that the yellow arrow is always pointing upwards, to the north.

Manage to complete this minigame successfully and you’ll reach Fossil Island safely, completing the Bone Voyage quest and unlocking access to the island permanently!

From now on, you can go to Fossil Island again by going to the Digsite in Barrock and using the barge. Don’t worry, there won’t be any more questing or minigames at this point!

Nonetheless, there you have it. That’s all you need to do to get to Varlamore and Fossil Island in OSRS as of 2025.

Deep Sea Trawling is a new fishing activity added with the release of the Sailing skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS).

This activity allows you to capture hordes of fish by trawling. Which, for those not in the know, means using a big net to grab a lot of fish at once! It’s quite a good way to get a lot of fish and Sailing XP.

In this quick guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to get started with this activity.

Deep Sea Trawling Fishing Guide | OSRS

Let’s kick things off with the basic requirements to do Deep Sea Trawling. There are a few of them, as follows:

• Level 56 Sailing
• Level 69 Fishing
• A Trawling Net facility on your boat. The earliest one is the Rope Trawling Net, which unlocks at Level 56 Sailing.

Aside from that, we also recommend having a Fathom Stone and a Chum Station on your boat, if you have access to them.

The Fathom Stone can be used to make it easier to find shoals, which are your fishing spots. Meanwhile, the Chum Station allows you to make Fish Offcuts, which you can use as bait.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to fill a Keg with Trawler’s Trust if you’ve unlocked it. It gives you a 5% chance to get extra fish. To unlock it, you’ll need to chart 50 seas.

Aside from that, it also helps to have Fish Crates on your ship. Those can hold a total of 400 fish at a time, which allows you to carry much more fish than just using the Cargo Hold.

While these last few facilities aren’t really mandatory, they do greatly help make trawling more efficient!

Similarly, we recommend having crewmates with high Deckhandiness assigned to your trawling nets. A minimum of 2 Deckhandiness is required, but you would ideally have a crewmate with 4.

It’s also a good idea to have a crewmate with high Helmanship. As part of the process, there’s a point where you need to operate both the trawling net and helm the ship. You’ll need crewmates to handle whichever one you can’t operate.

The Fishing Process

To start trawling, you must first locate a shoal. They appear as circular moving lines on the water’s surface, similar to a whirlpool of sorts.

Once you spot one, park your boat on top of it. Then, use the boat interface in the bottom right to lower your nets.

Pay attention to any red chat notifications at this point, as it will warn you if your net is too high or too low for the fish you’re trying to catch!

When you’re at the right depth, a blue bar will appear above the shoal. At this point, you just need to wait it out until it’s nearly empty.

Once it’s about to end, though, get ready! The shoal will start to move and you need to follow it with your ship.

A crewmate will need to handle either the trawling nets or helm the ship, depending on what function you’re performing. If you’re helming the ship, crewmates need to handle the nets, and vice versa.

Eventually, the shoal will reach a stopping point. At this point, it’ll stay still and a blue bar will appear above it again. So, you just have to repeat the process of fishing at it by lowering your net and that’s it!

Rinse and repeat the process until you’re satisfied with your haul. Remember to check your trawling net to collect your rewards and put them in a fish crate or your Cargo Hold! The trawling net can hold up to 200 fish at a time.

That’s everything you need to know to start Deep Sea Trawling in OSRS! We hope this helped you get started with this late-game sailing activity.

The Marlin Rank is the highest rank for all Barracuda Trials in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), and the Jubbly Jive is no exception.

This trial is a fairly tricky one, too. The fetid waters and the Jubbly gimmick can make it hard to plan an efficient route, after all. But that’s nothing that can’t be solved!

In this guide, we’ll give you tips and an efficient route to easily clear this trial’s highest rank.

Jubbly Jive Marlin Rank Guide | OSRS

Setting Up

Before we start, we recommend using the RuneLite client. That’s because this client will allow you to use Ground Markers (also known as Tile Markers) to highlight the trial’s route, as we mentioned in our Barracuda Trials guide. It greatly simplifies things!

What’s more, you also no longer need to mark things yourself. Instead, you can find all of the Tile Markers on the official OSRS wiki.

Just click “Copy tile markers” for the route you want on the trial’s page. In our case, we highly recommend the Marlin Rank Alternate route. It’s a more forgiving one that should get you a time of 5m 10s.

Once you’ve copied the markers, you just need to right-click on your minimap in-game and select Import Ground Markers. This will highlight the route you need to take for you, making the trial much easier.

Also, as an aside at this point, make sure to make and install a Wind Catcher on your boat. You’ll need it for the Marlin rank! You should be able to make the Wind Catcher as soon as you get the Wind Mote by beating the Jubbly Jive’s Shark rank.

With that set up, let’s now go over the trial itself.

Trial Breakdown

If you’ve followed our setup instructions in the previous section, the trial itself should be pretty straightforward now. However, we recommend referring to the route map above as well.

This route map gives you more details on some of the tough spots, as well as what route you actually need to follow. Also, for reference, the colors on the map match the same ones used by the tile markers from before.

Just as a refresher, the gimmicks for the Marlin version of the trial are the same as in the lower ranks. The first and most prominent being the fetid waters, which slow down your boat.

At this point, though, you can use the Wind Mote from the Wind Catcher on your boat. This will allow you to just boost through those fetid waters without a speed penalty.

As you can see on the route map above, you’ll need to use this multiple times to save time. Especially on the first lap, which is the one colored green.

Aside from collecting crates, you’ll also need to get frogs from the Barracuda ships along the trial route. You’ll need to throw those at flags to draw a Jubbly to the white flag. You can check this on the top left of the screen.

These flag locations are marked in colored circles on the route map at the start of this section. It also tells you at which point to throw frogs at them in the route with the colored arrows.

With that said, at this point, it’s all about practicing the route. The tile markers and map provided are already optimized for time, so you just need to practice executing it!

So, that’s the end of our Jubbly Jive Marlin Rank guide for OSRS. WE hope this helps you ace this Barracuda Trial so that you’re ready for The Gwenith Glide!

The Sailing skill is finally out for Old School RuneScape (OSRS), so we’ve collected a variety of our best tips and tricks to help you take advantage of it!

There are many things to keep track of with this skill, after all. Things like how to use Salvaging, how to boost progression, even what plugins to use!

Fear not, though, as we’ll tell you about all of that and more in this guide.

Sailing Best Tips and Tricks | OSRS

Get the Sailing Plugin

This is a quick one, but one that we highly recommend if you’re playing via the RuneLite client: make sure to install the Sailing plugin.

You can do so by clicking on the wrench-shaped icon on the top right of your screen. Then, click on the plug-shaped icon and look for “Sailing”.Lastly, just click Install on it.

This plugin covers all of your Sailing needs, making it all a lot simpler and more efficient. It marks spots for Sea Charting, highlights Whirlpools for speed boosts, tells you when to trim your sails, and more!

All in all, this is a great quality-of-life plugin to have if you plan to spend a significant amount of time sailing.

While you’re at it, we also recommend setting up a Watchdog alert for the Crystal Extractor when you get it. It’ll let you know when it’s ready for harvesting, which is easy to ignore usually.

Upgrade Often

As we covered in our guide on how to build and customize your ship, you can actually upgrade your ship. Just select Customise Boat while talking to any Shipwright at a dock.

The most important thing to remember here is to upgrade your ship’s Core Parts as soon as you can. These define the main stats for your ship, including its Hit Points and Speed!

There are even some secret benefits, too. For example, upgrading your sails will also increase the amount of Sailing XP you get whenever you trim your sails. So, upgrading them early can help speed up leveling slightly.

That aside, you can also place a variety of useful Facilities on your boat. These give you a lot of extra functions, such as allowing you to place a Keg for boosts or a Salvaging Hook so that you can salvage shipwrecks.

To keep things short, just make sure to stay on top of upgrading your ship. It’ll help keep your progression and leveling smooth!

Make Use of Salvaging for AFK Training

Tying into the previous tip, you can start Salvaging as soon as you reach Level 15 Sailing and install a Salvaging Hook. It allows you to loot shipwrecks out at sea, which is the main AFK leveling method for Sailing.

The short of it is that you go to a shipwreck and stay at it collecting loot until your cargo fills up. Then, return to a dock and use a Salvaging Station to sort through the loot and reveal items. Rinse and repeat!

You can even automate this further later on by having crewmates with a high Deckhandiness stat. Plus, you can also get a Salvaging Station on your ship at Level 42 Sailing to eliminate the need for docks.

But well, that’s just the short of it! If you want all the details, check out our Salvaging AFK training guide.

Build a Whirlpool Surprise Keg

You can give yourself a +2 Sailing boost as soon as you reach Level 33 Sailing. By that point, you’ll have unlocked the “Tempor Tantrum” Barracuda Trial in The Storm Tempor.

The Barracuda Trials are, to summarize, a time trial. You’ll need to sail your ship around a set route to collect crates and other items. Doing so under the target time will give you some rewards and unlock the next rank.

For our purposes here, you’ll want to complete the first two ranks of the Tempor Tantrum trial. That is the Swordfish and Shark trials. We have a guide on the Barracuda Trials if you need help with that.

Upon beating the Shark rank, you’ll get 2 Whirlpool Surprise beers as a reward. More importantly, you’ll also unlock an infinite supply of Whirlpool Surprises back at the bar in The Pandemonium!

Go to that bar and purchase a total of 25 Whirlpool Surprises. Do not drink any, as you’ll need all 25 soon enough.

Then, go to customize your ship and build a Keg facility on it. Put all 25 Whirlpool Surprises into the Keg and you’re all done!

This will give you a +2 Sailing boost, although this can’t be used to boost all Sailing requirements. Still, it does help.

What’s more, it will give all of your crewmates a minimum of 2 Deckhandiness and 2 Helmsmanship. Not too shabby!

Learn How to Recover Your Boat

If you ever get separated from your boat, there are a few ways to retrieve it. The easiest and most readily accessible one is to just ask any Shipwright at a dock. Just select Recover Boat while talking to them!

For a gold fee, the Shipwright will have your boat teleported to the dock. This fee does increase if you have a bigger or more damaged boat, however.

Also worth noting is that this will delete all of the cargo in your ship’s cargo hold! Do not use this if you have valuable cargo and can go back to your ship through other means.

That aside, you can also use Boat Bottles or the Summon Boat spell. They do still delete your cargo, but they allow you to summon your boat to any docking point. No need for any Shipwright!

If you want to know all the details on these teleportation methods, check out our full guide about them.

Turn Round Trips into One-Way Trips

Speaking of teleportation, there’s a nice trick to speed up your leveling when doing Courier Tasks.

Certain Courier Tasks, such as the ones shown above, ask you to go to another port to retrieve cargo and bring it back.

That means, they are intended to be round trips. To compensate for that, these Courier Tasks also give you double the amount of experience. But you can reap that benefit while also removing the need for a round trip.

To do that, first make sure to empty your ship’s cargo hold. Then, teleport to the port where you need to retrieve the cargo and ask the Shipwright there to recover your cargo.

Just like that, you’re already at your destination and cut half of the travel time! Now just load up the cargo and return to the port you came from to complete the task in record time.

That’s our last tip here, so that’s the end of our best tips and tricks guide for Sailing in OSRS. We hope this helps you have a smoother sailing experience out here!

If you wish to do all of the Sea Charting tasks in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), you no doubt already know what a tall order it is.

There are 358 Sea Charting tasks in total, spread all over the oceans in the game. Completing them all can be a massive source of Sailing XP! But it would also be a massive time sink without some help.

In this guide, we’ll give you some tips and tools to help make this all much more bearable.

Sea Charting Guide | OSRS

Pre-Requisites

Before we kick things off, there are a few prerequisites that you should have first. Having these from the get-go will speed up your charting progression, which is important as it can take up to 10 hours of total time to complete!

These are the must-have prerequisites if you wish to 100% sea charting:

• Level 78 Sailing
• Innoculation Station – Boat Facility crafting unlocked at Level 40 Sailing.
• Eternal Brazier – Unlocked at Level 78 Sailing. Open the lockbox at Buccaneer’s Haven with the key from Tear of the Soul.
• Crowbar – From the “Prying Times” quest.
• Current Duck – From the “Current Affairs” quest.
• Fishbowl Helmet and Diving Apparatus – From the “Freeing Pirate Pete” subquest during the “Recipe for Disaster” main quest.

If you have all of these prerequisites, nothing can stop you from charting all of the seas! So, we recommend getting all of them before you start trying to 100% it.

Plugins and External Tools

Next up, there are some external tools that we recommend using to greatly speed up and ease Sea Charting. The first of these is the Sailing plugin for the RuneLite client, which we recommend using.

You can install the Sailing plugin by clicking on the wrench-shaped icon on the top right of your screen. Then, click on the plug-shaped icon and look for “Sailing”. Install that plugin directly from the game.

This plugin has a dedicated Sea Charting category. This will highlight all of the uncharted items near you, making them much easier to spot.

At the same time, it will also make some of the charting types easier. For example, it will tell you the answers to the riddles from Mermaid Guides.

While you’re at it, we also recommend setting up the Watchdog plugin for the Crystal Extractor. Ensuring that you harvest the extractor as you do the Sea Charting will earn you loads of extra XP, about 36000 per hour.

Aside from that, we also highly recommend using the Sailing map on the official OSRS wiki. It shows you the exact location of all 358 Sea Charting tasks.

What’s more, it even allows you to type in your display name. This will track which ones you’ve completed by highlighting them in green, making the entire process infinitely more convenient.

With that said, let’s now talk about how to complete every different Sea Charting task type.

How to Complete Each Sea Charting Task Type

Generic

This is the simplest and most basic of all charting tasks. For this one, you just need to find spots marked with the Captain’s Log and click on them to chart them. It’s as simple as that!

Spyglass

This one is pretty similar to the Generic charting tasks. Go to spots marked with the Spyglass icon and use your Spyglass item on them. You’ll get a glimpse of the nearby area and complete the task.

Crate

These tasks are marked with the Crowbar icon. Use the Crowbar to pry them open and you’ll get a potion to drink.

We highly recommend not drinking these potions unless you are prepared! They have many side effects, some of which can damage you or make you temporarily lose your ship by teleporting you.

If you do happen to get teleported away from your ship, check out our guide on how to teleport your ship. It’ll help you recover it. However, do note that you’ll lose everything in your cargo hold if that happens!

Current Duck

This task is marked by a duck icon. Click on the Current Duck tool in your inventory when you’re in one of these spots and then follow it until it reaches its destination.

To speed things up a bit, you can see the Current Duck’s final destination on your map. However, you’ll still need to wait for the duck itself to reach the destination! It’s pretty slow, sadly, so maybe use it as a break.

Diving

These tasks are marked with a Diving Helmet icon. They all involve you talking with a Mermaid Guide and solving the riddle they present.

As we mentioned before, however, the Sailing plugin for RuneLite will instantly give you the answer. Alternatively, you can just look up the mermaid’s name to find the answer to the riddle. It’s as simple as that!

Weather

For this one, you’ll need to talk to any Meaty Aura Logist troll you find out at sea. Offer to collect data for them. They are marked with a Portable Weather Station icon, as shown above.

These trolls will give you the Portable Weather Station and tell you to go use it at a specific spot. Conveniently, this spot appears on your map thanks to the Sailing plugin!

So, you just need to go to the marked spot and use the weather station. Then return to the Meaty Aura Logist and report the weather data to finish the task.

That’s all you need to do to efficiently do all of the Sea Charting in OSRS! Make sure to take breaks as you do all of this, though. There are hundreds of tasks, so it will take you hours to do all of them.

If you’re tired of going back to dock to check your salvage in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), you should aim to get the Salvaging Station Schematic as soon as possible.

This schematic allows you to build your own Salvaging Station, as its name implies! You can place it on your boat as a facility, allowing you to sort through salvage on the go. It’s a huge time saver.

In this quick guide, we’ll tell you where and how to find this useful schematic.

How to Get The Salvaging Station Schematic | OSRS

The first step to obtaining the Salvaging Station Schematic starts as soon as you reach The Pandemonium through the “Pandemonium” quest.

Once you get there, you need to stand on the spot shown above. The spot is just a bit to the east of the Pandemonium Cave entrance.

On that spot, dig using a Spade and you’ll receive a small key. It’s as simple as that for this first step!

However, the next step isn’t doable until you reach Level 42 Sailing. If you’re still early on in your Sailing progression, check out our Sailing leveling guide for some help.

When you do reach Level 42 Sailing, you’ll need to head to Chinchompa Island, shown above. It’s just a bit south of Port Piscarilius, for reference.

Once you reach Chinchompa Island, you should see the Lockbox shown above. It’s a pretty tiny island, so we doubt you even needed it marked for you, but oh well!

Anyway, just use the small key you got in The Pandemonium on that lockbox to open it up and you’ll instantly receive the Salvaging Station Schematic.

You can now craft the Salvaging Station and place it on your boat by using the customization feature. That said, you’ll also need the following requirements and materials:

• Level 42 Sailing
• Level 34 Construction
• Teak Planks x4
• Steel Nails x16

Nonetheless, there you have it. That’s all you need to know to get the Salvaging Station Schematic in OSRS! No more need to go all the way over to a dock to sort through your salvage.

The Crystal Extractor in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is extremely useful, but it can be hard to keep track of unless you set up a plugin for it.

This boat facility generates a Crystal Mote every 60 seconds. Harvesting it is useful, as it gives you a free Wind Mote and 600 Sailing XP. However, it’s pretty easy to forget to check it out every single minute…

Fret not, though, because we’ll help you set up a plugin to remind you when it’s ready for harvest!

How to Setup Crystal Extractor Plugin | OSRS

For this guide, you’ll need to be using the RuneLite client. This simply doesn’t work without it, as it requires it to install the relevant plugin!

If you already have RuneLite, you’ll need to click on the wrench-shaped icon on the top right of the screen. Then click on the plug-shaped icon and search for the Watchdog (Custom Alerts) plugin. Install that one.

Once that’s done, you’ll need to go into the settings for the Watchdog plugin. It should be on your sidebar, as a bell icon.

Then click on the green plus sign to add a new alert. Select “Game Message” from the drop-down.

Next up, make sure to give the alert the title you want, such as Extractor Alert in this example. Then, enter “Your crystal extractor has harvested a crystal mote!” in the trigger message box. It should look like the example above.

Note that you can also pick the message yourself from chat if it’s still in your log. Just click on the picker and then select the message, as shown above.

Moving on, click on the green plus sign next to Notifications. You can choose anything you want here, as long as you make it something that you’re sure you won’t ignore. It’s up to you, really, but we recommend either Audio or Overlay. They are the most noticeable!

With that, you will now receive the notification you created whenever your Crystal Extractor is ready to harvest. It’s as simple as that.

That’s all you need to know to setup a plugin to notify you about the Crystal Extractor in OSRS! This pairs well with AFK leveling, so we recommend checking out our guide on how to train Sailing AFK!

The addition of the Sailing skill to Old School RuneScape (OSRS) means that there are some new best methods to make more money!

After all, the new skill requires a lot of new resources. These will be in high demand for a while, due to everyone needing them to progress. Of course, this is also a great opportunity to get coins in the Grand Exchange.

In this guide, we’ll quickly go over the best moneymaking methods currently available.

Best Methods to Make More Money | OSRS – Sailing Update

Making Lead Bars

The first method is a pretty easy one that you unlock early on via Sailing. You can start doing this partway through the “Pandemonium” quest, once you reach the Pandemonium Cave.

Aside from that, you’ll also need to reach Level 25 Mining and Level 25 Smithing. Both of these are pretty low levels, so they shouldn’t take long!

The gist of this method is that you will mine Lead Ore from Pandemonium Cave, then smelt it into Lead Bars to sell. Lead Bars are required for a lot of Sailing-related crafting, so they are in high demand currently!

Later on, you can also mine Lead Ore at The Onyx Crest instead. It unlocks at Level 47 Sailing and should be less crowded. Either way, the process remains the same.

Bolts of Linen

For this method, you’ll need to have Level 12 Crafting. Just get as much Flax as possible via farming it or purchasing it, then use a Spinning Wheel to turn it into Linen Yarn.

Then, use the Linen Yarn you get to create Bolts of Linen at a Loom. You can make 1 Bolt of Linen per 2 Linen Yarn.

The logic here is more or less the same as Lead Bars. It’s easy to make and this material is required for many crafting recipes related to Sailing, so it’s in fairly high demand right now!

Farming Hemp

Yup, time to become a Hemp farmer! For this method, you’ll require Level 37 Farming and at least 3 Hemp Seeds to start with.

Hemp Seeds are fairly rare, but you can get them while defeating most ocean monsters and while Salvaging shipwrecks.

Once you get at least 3 Hemp Seeds, plant them in a Hops Patch. Also, give 6 Flax to a Gardener to have them keep watch for you.

When the plants are grown, you just need to harvest the Hemp! At this point, you can either sell it as is for a straight profit or process it further.

If you choose to process it, you’ll need Level 39 Crafting. Use a Spinning Wheel to turn your Hemp into Hemp Yarn, then turn that into a Bolt of Canvas at a Loom.

This extended processing does take longer, obviously, but you should get better profits than selling the Hemp as is. However, remember to check the in-game market for fluctuating prices to determine the best course for you!

That said, Hemp is required for some later Sails upgrades and the seeds are pretty rare. So, we expect this to remain profitable for some time.

Camphor Trees and Planks

For this one, you’ll need to have Level 66 Woodcutting. At the same time, you’ll need to reach Level 45 Sailing to do the “Troubled Tortugans” quest. This unlocks The Great Conch island for you.

You can find and chop down Camphor Trees on this island to get Camphor Logs. These are required for various Sailing-related crafting recipes, such as for mast and sail upgrades.

At the same time, you can also turn the logs into Camphor Planks at a Sawmill or with the Plank Make spell. These planks are required for medium-high tier Sailing upgrades and Repair Kits.

Due to requiring a decently high Woodcutting level and being needed for a decent amount of upgrades, Camphor Logs and Camphor Planks are in high demand and are pretty profitable! Plus, Woodcutting is fairly easy to do AFK.

Salvaging

This is a Sailing-exclusive activity that doubles as both an AFK moneymaking method and an AFK leveling method. You can start doing it as soon as you get a Salvaging Hook on your ship at Level 15 Sailing or higher.

For this, you just need to find Shipwrecks out at sea and use the Salvaging Hook to… well, salvage them! You’ll get a variety of random loot in the process, as well as some Sailing XP. You can then sort those items at a Salvaging Station, either on your ship or at any dock.

Now, to be honest with you, most of the loot you get is not worth very much. This is especially true at the lower levels of the Sailing skill, when you have more limited options.

However, it becomes more profitable once you get access to Barracuda Shipwrecks (Level 35) and Large Shipwrecks (Level 53). They have some profitable goodies such as the Hemp Seeds we mentioned before, but also Rings, Oysters, Cannonballs, and more.

This method also speeds up later on, as you get an on-board Salvaging Station, more Salvaging Hooks, and Crewmates to automate the process.

This isn’t the most reliable method for pure moneymaking. But it is very low-intensity and is ideal for AFKing while also leveling up your Sailing!

Cannonballs

Last but not least, you can make and sell Cannonballs. These got a huge resurgence in demand now, as many types were added and they are necessary for cannons in Sailing combat.

Now, the exact requirements to make Cannonballs vary. The higher the tier, the rarer the materials and the higher your Smithing level will need to be. Of course, higher tiers do also mean more money!

Regardless, here are the basics for each tier in order from most common to rarest:

• Bronze Cannonball – 5 Smithing, 1 Bronze Bar.
• Iron Cannonball – 20 Smithing, 1 Iron Bar.
• Steel Cannonball – 35 Smithing, 1 Steel Bar.
• Mithril Cannonball – 55 Smithing, 1 Mithril Bar.
• Adamant Cannonball – 75 Smithing, 1 Adamantite Bar.
• Rune Cannonball – 90 Smithing, 1 Runite Bar.
• Dragon Cannonball – Can not be crafted, only found randomly as loot from ocean monsters and Salvaging.

Note that you make 4 Cannonballs per bar. So, at times, it might be profitable to just buy the bars to save time and then craft them into Cannonballs. However, as always, you’ll have to check the real-time prices yourself as they can fluctuate quite a lot.

That said, we expect Cannonballs to remain in high demand and be profitable for the foreseeable future. They are consumed on use and required for naval combat, after all!

So, there you have it. That’s all of the best methods we know of to make more money after the Sailing update in OSRS. We hope this helps you! Good luck in the Grand Exchange!

The post OSRS: Best Methods to Make More Money (Sailing) appeared first on Games Fuze.

If you’re out there Sailing in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), it’s a good idea to maximize your combat efficiency by doing more damage with cannons.

The cannons are, after all, your main source of damage while out at sea. Sure, you can use ranged weapons and the like, but cannons are the main element of naval combat!

In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to optimize your Sailing combat damage.

How to Do More Damage With Cannons | OSRS: Sailing Combat Guide

The first thing you’ll want to do to maximize your combat while sailing is to reach level 50. We have a leveling guide that can help you get there, if you need it.

The main benefit of Level 50 is that you’ll unlock the sloop for purchase from any Shipwright. This ship allows you to have two cannons, one on each side of the ship!

So, once you get the sloop, you’ll want to build a second cannon on your ship as soon as possible. You can do that via the upgrade and customization interface at any Shipwright.

Also, make sure to upgrade your cannons as much as possible. The higher the cannon’s tier is, the more damage it can deal. Aim to have Rune Cannons at Level 80 and Dragon Cannons shortly after reaching Level 92.

Crew Management

The extra cannon isn’t the only benefit to the sloop! Aside from that, you can also have up to 5 NPCs as part of your crew on it, up from the 2 NPCs on a skiff. This is important, as you’ll want to have 2 crewmates designated to man the cannons.

Make sure to get crewmates with the highest Privateering stat possible, as that allows them to use higher tiers of cannons. There are two NPCs that would be your best bet here:

• Oarswoman Olga – Found at Burgh de Rott. You can recruit her at Sailing Level 65 after completing the “In Aid of the Myreque” quest.
• Jittery Jim – Found at Port Khazard. Can be recruited at Sailing Level 70 without any other prerequisites.

Both of these NPCs have 4 Privateering, which is the highest possible stat. It allows them to man the Rune and Dragon tier of cannons!

A benefit of having your NPCs handle the cannons is that it also frees you from doing so. That means you can use ranged weapons to deal extra damage while in naval combat, for example. It adds up instead of relying on just cannons.

Besides Privateering, it also helps to have an NPC with a focus on Deckhandiness. Those NPCs can use Repair Kits to fix your boat, which can help during combat. However, you can also just manually use Repair Kits yourself, if you wish.

Other Tips

Besides your cannons and crew, you can also boost your cannons’ damage by placing a Keg on your boat. This is a Facility, so you can place it on your sloop the same way as the cannons.

Fill this Keg with the Perildance Bitter ale to increase the max hit of your cannons by +1. You can get this ale from Chartin’ Charles McAtless at Pandemonium Cave.

However, you’ll need to chart 8 seas in the Western Ocean and 5 seas in the Shrouded Ocean first. So, enjoy doing some sailing and exploring to get this one!

While in combat itself, you can also do a bit of a “trick” to make both of your cannons fire at a target. Like the clip above shows, you should sway your boat from side to side so that the cannons take turns firing.

Lastly, we recommend not necessarily using the highest tier of cannonballs for your cannons. As you can see on the chart above, Rune and Dragon cannonballs do the highest max damage.

However, they are also very expensive, so they are generally not worth the cost. We recommend sticking to lower-tier cannonballs, even if you sacrifice some damage by doing so. It’s just more cost-effective overall.

Nonetheless, that’s the end of our Sailing combat guide for OSRS, so you now know how to do more damage with your cannons! No sea creature shall stand in your way now!

Speaking of sea creatures, are you trying to farm the Vampyre Krakens? Well, there’s a trick to do so without risks! Check out our Vampyre Kraken safespot guide for more information.

The Gwenith Glide is the final Barracuda Trial you unlock via the Sailing skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS).

This trial is a bit simpler than the previous ones on paper, but it’s a lot more intense in practice. It requires very careful routing, as well as for you to be on point with steering your boat at all times!

In this guide, we’ll help you clear every rank of this trial.

The Gwenith Glide Guide – Swordfish, Shark, Marlin | OSRS

As we mentioned before, The Gwenith Glide is the last of the Barracuda Trials, and it unlocks at Level 72 Sailing after completing the “Regicide” quest. You can start it near Port Gwenith.

This trial is a bit simpler than the other Barracuda Trials in a way. There isn’t much of a gimmick, with the exception of pairs of colored portals you can go through.

Enter one colored portal and you’ll come out of the other portal of that same color. Using these portals properly will be key for your routing!

Aside from that, you will also need to traverse through narrow pathways surrounded by ice and Resonance Crystals. Touching these hazards will damage and slow you down, so you’ll need to carefully avoid them to make the times for each rank.

For the most part, though, this trial mostly puts your ability to steer the ship properly to the test. Its routing can be relatively easy with the help we’ll give you, so it’s all left up to controlling the ship!

Before we go into the tricks to routing, though, here are the clear time requirements and rewards for each rank:

• Unraked – No Time, 3100 XP per lap.
• Swordfish – 2:00 Target Time. 4100 XP per lap. 25000 Bonus XP and Serrated Key on completion.
• Shark – 3:42 Target Time. 9315 XP per lap. 35000 Bonus XP and Heart of Ithell on completion.
• Marlin – 6:09 Target Time. 18160 XP per lap. 50000 Bonux XP and Gwynar’s Fabric Roll on completion.

With all of that said, it’s now time to go over the routing for this trial!

Routing for Each Rank

Now, speaking of helping with the routing, we recommend using the RuneLite client thanks to its Ground Markers (aka Tile Markers) feature.

As we mentioned in our guide for all the Barracuda Trials, this allows you to mark where the lost supply crates are. It makes them much easier to spot and also makes it much easier to plan a route.

With that in mind, we recommend using community-collected Tile Markers. To do that, check out the official OSRS wiki. Then, look for the markers for the rank you want and click “Copy tile markers.”

After that, right-click on your minimap in-game and select “Import Ground Markers.” All of the lost supply crates will then be marked for you, as well as colored tiles telling you the route all the way!

That means that you just need to follow the colored route, making sure that you stick to the same color you got at the start of a portal. Do not switch between differently-colored tiles when they intersect. Only switch when emerging out of a portal.

At the same time, make sure to only grab the crates along the current part of the route. Do not go out of your way to grab crates away from the current color route. You’ll get them later in the run.

Aside from that, make sure to grab all Wind Motes you get along your set route. Use them to get a boost of speed as often as possible.

Thanks to these markers, the trial becomes just a matter of you steering the ship properly to avoid hazards. It really simplifies things!

Marlin Rank Specifics

For the Marlin Rank trial, everything we’ve said previously still applies. Use the Tile Markers for the routing to make it easy. However, you’ll also want to refer to the routing image above for extra help.

On top of that, for this rank specifically, we recommend making sure you’ve upgraded your ship via customization as much as possible. Having the best hull, mast, and sails possible will be key for meeting the target time.

Additionally, it might be a good idea not to avoid the Resonance Crystal hazards along the way. Those are the white ice spikes on the route.

Generally speaking, it’s faster to just use a Wind Mote to cross them fast and tank the damage. Just make sure you have some way to heal yourself from the damage, as they can be lethal!

Nonetheless, you should now have all the tools you need to do every rank of The Gwenith Glade trial in OSRS! With the Tile Markers and routes, all that’s left is for you to practice until you ace it.
