OSRS Sailing 1–99 Guide

Levels 1–45: Opening courier voyages

Take tasks whose collection points and destinations form a short circuit. The start of the task may be a different port from the board where you accepted it.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

Complete short courier circuits for the opening levels. At 15 you can try salvaging, or at 30 start Tempor Tantrum for active training. If you enjoy deliveries, continue until the larger courier routes from 45.

Levels 45–62: Summer Shore deliveries

Take a charter to the furthest collection port, recover the boat with an empty hold and collect compatible cargo along the return voyage. Carry 20,000 GP initially for recovery and include charter fees in the trip cost.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

From 45, use the Summer Shore circuit while building towards northern routes. At 62, add Rellekka-area deliveries if their ports and boat upgrades are ready; a new level alone does not make a longer voyage worthwhile.

Levels 65–70: Rellekka and Etceteria deliveries

Prioritise Aldarin or Sunset Coast cargo for Rellekka. Keep a slot free if no suitable offer appears, then check Aldarin and fill the northbound voyage with compatible deliveries.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

From 65, combine Etceteria and Rellekka deliveries. At 70, compare the Prifddinas circuit if you have Song of the Elves; otherwise keep using the ports you can reach.

Levels 70–76: Prifddinas deliveries

Look for Aldarin or Deepfin cargo bound for Prifddinas and intermediate ports. Summon your empty boat at the furthest pickup, load the cargo, then sail the delivery circuit.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

From 70, use Prifddinas deliveries after unlocking the city. At 76, Lunar destinations offer another circuit, but keep this one when its board offers and journey are better.

Levels 62–65: A Rellekka courier circuit

Look for several tasks ending at Rellekka or nearby unlocked destinations. Collect their cargo before sailing north, rather than making one long voyage per task.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

From 62, combine northbound deliveries into one voyage. At 65, add Etceteria tasks when they fit the same circuit rather than sailing a separate trip for every new offer.

Levels 76–99: Lunar Isle courier circuits

Keep room for compatible tasks as you visit boards. The extra task slot at 84 can change which combination of deliveries is worthwhile.

1. Read the collection and delivery ports before accepting. Plan the entire loop, including the return, while you are still at the notice board.
2. At the pickup ledger, collect the cargo and load it into the hold. If the task needs more than one piece, check the total before leaving.
3. Trim sails during the voyage and unload all required cargo at the destination ledger. The final delivery awards the task XP and loot sack.
4. Use the newly available task slots to fill the next leg instead of automatically returning empty.

Check the northern destination boards before travelling to collect cargo. Summon Boat empties the hold, so use it before loading. At 84 you can hold five tasks, which makes it easier to combine a full voyage.

From 76, combine Lunar deliveries with other compatible tasks and continue to 99. At 84, the extra task slot lets you carry another assignment on the same voyage, so check the boards for a better combination.

Levels 30–55: The Tempor Tantrum

Learn to carry the rum shipment through the storm while collecting supplies. Momentum matters: a rock can wipe out the speed built through rapids.

1. Start with Swordfish or the untimed practice route. Collect the rum shipment from the southern merchant and deliver it to the Barracudas’ boat to the north.
2. Collect the required supply crates while making the delivery circuit. Only one rum shipment can be carried at a time, so higher ranks require more loops.
3. Use rapids for speed, trim at useful moments and steer clear of rocks. Improve one awkward turn at a time before moving to a harder rank.

The planner counts the completion reward, required crates and the stated reference route XP. Add only the trim, mote or extractor XP above that total; do not include the one-time first-rank bonus in a repeatable rate.

Learn Tempor Tantrum from 30 to 55, then move to Jubbly Jive if you want to continue the trial route. Practise the course before adding harder difficulty goals.

Levels 55–72: The Jubbly Jive

Guide jubbly birds between outcrops while sailing your supply route. The bird keeps moving once its next food is placed, so you can collect crates while it finishes.

1. Collect balloon toads from the supply boat. Use them on the correct outcrops to lay the bird’s route back to Gurtob.
2. Throw the next toad as soon as its outcrop is in range, then continue collecting the required crates. Waiting until you are beside the outcrop delays the bird.
3. Use a stored trim just before a fetid pool to keep momentum through it. Check the bird and supply counters before assuming the trial is finished.

The planner counts the completion reward, required crates and the stated reference route XP. Add only the trim, mote or extractor XP above that total; do not include the one-time first-rank bonus in a repeatable rate.

Train at Jubbly Jive from 55 to 72, then move to Gwenith Glide. Staying here longer is reasonable while you are still improving your boat or learning how to keep the bird moving between stops.

Levels 72–99: The Gwenith Glide

Keep motes available and follow the portal sequence while gathering supplies. This course rewards a clear route and a well-upgraded skiff.

1. Keep the sail boost running by collecting and spending motes. Follow the required portals so the crystals are imbued in order.
2. Collect supplies along the route without making large detours. A clean portal approach is easier to repeat than last-second turns.
3. If the helm crystallises, click it three times to clear the crystals promptly. Leaving it crystallised causes increasing damage to the player.
4. Check your health between runs and restore it. Learn Swordfish before chasing a Marlin time; better hulls and sails create more room for error.

The planner counts the completion reward, required crates and the stated reference route XP. Add only the trim, mote or extractor XP above that total; do not include the one-time first-rank bonus in a repeatable rate.

From 72, learn Gwenith Glide and continue to 99. Improve your route and boat before expecting the faster trial times; a level unlock alone does not provide that pace.
