Method Sorting

Hey all, it appears the sorting functionality of the table is sorting gold costs alphabetically (e.g. 10 is "lower" than 2). Is it possible to fix that, or is it an artifact of the gold module? --Get-Hacked (talk) 17:38, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Article should probably mention, at least in a 'see also' section, similar activities to splashing. If the end result is that you are AFK for a long time and are not killing the monster, this is essentially the same thing, though there are at least a couple of methods that give better xp rates than splashing and are basically just as afk. There are two good ones I know of:

• Kraken whirlpool (87 slayer is still required, might need to be on task as well?) ideal because full magic xp and damage apply. Do it in an instance though (25k)
• Any slayer monster that requires a 'finishing blow' (desert lizards are probably best); can hit 1's and 2's instead of splashes, giving greater xp

Good point. Desert lizard do have desert heat hazard thou. Rockslug maybe doable, but dont have alot of hp. Zygomite and Gargoyle may probably too high level to afk than simply Desert Bandits. Gspbeetle (talk) 11:44, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Using "finishing blow" monsters for a little bit of bonus XP from splashing appears to not work anymore; when the mob (desert lizard, rockslug) is at critical health, it will no longer attack you, and you will cease attacking. I do not know when this changed; I recall it working early-mid 2019, but starting a new account and attempting to splash these kinds of monsters in 2022 no longer works. I cannot verify Kraken's continued viability, since I lack 87 slayer. --97.84.44.2 16:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Rediscovered Kraken whirlpool splashing and did some testing. It still works. Does require a slayer task. A brief test was giving me about 22k per hour magic xp using fire strike, compared to normal splashing 13.8k. 45.134.224.26 03:36, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Harmonised nightmare staff

Guys, I wanted to mention the Harmonised Nightmare Staff, but I wasn't able to implement the prices with linked rune prices. Can you add those please. Pocketrocket (talk) 19:41, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Wouldn't be the cost is the same as the raw cast cost with no staff at all? Gspbeetle (talk) 11:46, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Multi-tasking during splashing

Would it be outside the scope of this guide to suggest things that can be multi-tasked while splashing? For example:

• Splashing Unicorn foals in Hosidius next to the Flower patch to grow limpwurts or other things you want
• Splashing rabbits while telegrabbing the teak plank spawn in Prifddinas

There's not a lot that's worth the extra effort, but maybe there's things I haven't thought of either. --97.84.44.2 15:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Splashing no longer works? (not true, just not in parts of lumbridge, sorry y'all)

Hey there, so I just tried splashing out for the first time but noticed something weird, when you have a 0% chance to hit, you no longer get xp for the runes spent. Just tested it a bit, and yeah, when 0% chance to hit there is no change to xp and no xp drops, when I unequip an item and gain a chance to hit, even misses now give the xp again. What should we do? Low chance builds on crabs? 2600:8800:7312:6800:D4AA:3D99:44C0:97A 06:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Rekindled, Aka, The Emrald1

Can you confirm that you were not testing this in Lumbridge? Just tested this myself with -66 magic bonus and it grants experience as expected.

The article states: The only exception is the area in Lumbridge as shown in the map, including the castle basement. Here, spells yield no experience for casting if a player's magic accuracy is too low to deal damage. This was done because the large amount of players splashing on rats looked odd to new players.

Ah, I totally missed that in the article, just went to ardy and it's working as intended. My bad, just some parts of lumby, huh? --2600:8800:7312:6800:C186:F3D8:F8A4:AC91 04:13, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Under locations, please replace phoenix lair with Piscatoris since there is no such thing as a phoenix lair in osrs.

outdated

—Submitted via Article feedback

doesn't seem outdated to me, if you're the editor who just removed cursed goblin staff then you are wrong, it still has 0 magic attack bonus so is still usable to get -64 if you can't equip green dhide vambs  Crow  19:23, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Just because something might have more negitive magic bonus than something else doesnt mean it should be what is in the wiki articles guide about it. Have you lost your minds? you got a hide cape and a 80 million gold amulet with hydra gauntlets on a splashing guide.

—Submitted via Article feedback

It's actually a 143 million gold amulet. But I agree, the inventory setup on this page really ought to be a table with a priority list of options (more like other strategy guides), rather than one set inventory. ChxPotatoCurry (talk) 03:58, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

I've culled the notes for members to basically recommend full plate armor like in F2P, but with the addition of the mixed hide cape and snakeskin boots. You really don't need to deviate from the F2P setup at all other than those two slots in members, and they have relatively low requirements in comparison to justi, rancour, ferocious, etc. YoshiFan12 (talk) 04:18, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
