Level Milestones

Level	Total XP
10	1,154
20	4,470
30	13,363
50	101,333
70	737,627
99	13,034,431

Resource Gathering

Woodcutting

Requirements:

Hatchet in inventory or equipped
Click tree to chop

Success rate improves with level. Higher-level trees require higher Woodcutting levels.

Tree	Level	XP
Normal	1	25
Oak	15	37.5
Willow	30	67.5
Yew	60	175
Magic	75	250

Mining

Requirements:

Pickaxe in inventory or equipped
Click ore rock to mine

OSRS-Accurate Mechanics:

Pickaxe tier affects roll frequency (not success rate)
Success rate is level-only (pickaxe doesn’t affect it)
Rocks have 100% depletion on successful mine (1/8 chance)
Dragon/Crystal pickaxes have bonus speed rolls

Ore	Level	XP	Depletion
Copper/Tin	1	17.5	1/8 chance
Iron	15	35	1/8 chance
Coal	30	50	1/8 chance
Mithril	55	80	1/8 chance
Adamantite	70	95	1/8 chance
Runite	85	125	1/8 chance

Pickaxe Tiers:

Pickaxe	Level	Roll Ticks	Bonus Speed
Bronze	1	8 ticks	None
Iron	1	7 ticks	None
Steel	6	6 ticks	None
Mithril	21	5 ticks	None
Adamant	31	4 ticks	None
Rune	41	3 ticks	None
Dragon	61	3 ticks	1/6 chance for 2 ticks
Crystal	71	3 ticks	1/4 chance for 2 ticks

Dragon and Crystal pickaxes have a chance to mine faster: Dragon has a 1/6 chance for 2-tick rolls (avg 2.83 ticks), Crystal has a 1/4 chance (avg 2.75 ticks).

Fishing

Requirements:

Fishing rod in inventory
Click fishing spot

Fish	Level	XP
Shrimp	1	10
Trout	20	50
Lobster	40	90
Swordfish	50	100
Shark	76	110

Artisan Skills

Firemaking

Use tinderbox on logs in inventory to create a fire.

Log	Level	XP
Normal	1	40
Oak	15	60
Willow	30	90
Yew	60	202.5
Magic	75	303.8

Cooking

Use raw fish on a fire or range to cook.

Food	Level	XP	Heals
Shrimp	1	30	3 HP
Trout	15	70	7 HP
Lobster	40	120	12 HP
Swordfish	45	140	14 HP
Shark	80	210	20 HP

Cooking can fail at low levels, burning the food. Ranges reduce burn chance compared to fires.

Smithing

Smelt ores into bars at furnaces, then smith bars into equipment at anvils.

Smelting (at Furnace)

Bar	Level	Ores Required	XP	Success Rate
Bronze	1	1 Copper + 1 Tin	6.25	100%
Iron	15	1 Iron Ore	12.5	50%
Steel	30	1 Iron Ore + 2 Coal	17.5	100%
Mithril	50	1 Mithril Ore + 4 Coal	30	100%
Adamant	70	1 Adamantite Ore + 6 Coal	37.5	100%
Rune	85	1 Runite Ore + 8 Coal	50	100%

Iron ore has a 50% failure rate when smelting, matching OSRS mechanics.

Smithing (at Anvil)

Click an anvil to open the smithing interface. Requires a hammer in your inventory (not consumed). Select the item to smith and quantity. Weapons:

Mithril arrowtips	50	1 Mithril	50	15
Adamant arrowtips	70	1 Adamant	62.5	15
Rune arrowtips	85	1 Rune	75	15

You must have a hammer in your inventory to smith items at an anvil. The hammer is not consumed.

Smithing supports “Make X” functionality - you can smith multiple items in one session. The system auto-smiths until you run out of bars or reach the target quantity. Arrowtips produce 15 per bar (used for Fletching arrows).

Thread Consumption: Thread has 5 uses before being consumed
Tick-Based: Each craft takes 2-3 ticks (1.2-1.8 seconds)
Movement Cancellation: Walking or entering combat cancels crafting
Make-X: Craft multiple items in one session with quantity memory
Recipe Filtering: Recipes filter by input item (e.g., chisel + uncut sapphire shows only sapphire)
Auto-Select: Single recipe auto-selects to skip to quantity selection

Fletching produces multiple items per action for arrows and shafts (15 per action). Arrowtips are created via Smithing (15 per bar).

Fletching Mechanics:

Multi-Output: Arrow shafts and arrows produce 15 items per action
Item-on-Item: Stringing bows and assembling arrows use item-on-item interactions
Tick-Based: Each fletch takes 2-3 ticks (1.2-1.8 seconds)
Movement Cancellation: Walking or entering combat cancels fletching
Make-X: Fletch multiple items in one session with quantity memory
Category Grouping: UI groups recipes by type (arrow_shafts, shortbows, longbows, stringing, arrows)

Runecrafting

Convert essence into runes at mystical altars scattered throughout the world. Requirements:

Runecrafting is instant (no tick delay). Multi-rune levels grant +1 rune per essence. Example: At level 22, you get 3 air runes per essence (base 1 + level 11 threshold + level 22 threshold).

Runecrafting Mechanics:

Instant Conversion: Click altar to instantly convert ALL essence in inventory
Two Essence Types: Rune essence (basic runes only), pure essence (all runes)
Multi-Rune Crafting: Higher levels grant bonus runes per essence
Altar-Specific: Each altar produces one rune type (air altar → air runes)
