Beginner Guide

This guide is meant for players just starting with OSB. It does not include optimal training methods for skills, and it does not include a comprehensive list of what you can do in OSB. For more information about the bot and its features, feel free to look at the rest of this wiki, or ask in the #help-and-support channel of the support server.

Part 1: Pre-PvM

Do agility

until you have full Graceful (can be obtained by using

/create item:graceful

, and costs 260 marks of grace). You can do agility by using the

/laps name:[courseName

] command. After getting full Graceful, you can do the
Hallowed Sepulchre to get a Strange Old Lockpick. This item is rarer than OSRS, but has unlimited charges and provides a boost to Barrows.

Don't forget to do your daily every 12 hours:

/minion daily

for some starter GP.

Once you have full Graceful, quest to at least 205 QP

. You can quest with the

/activities quest

command. Since you will already have the maximum bonus for questing, consider going all the way to 290 QP.

After getting at least 175 QP, purchase at least one set of Barrows gloves (ideally 3 sets). With 205 QP you can access all bosses that the bot has to offer.

If your minion is an ironman, do a small amount of fishing/cooking for early game food. You won't need much, as better food sources will unlock soon.
Main accounts should purchase food from other players using the #grand-exchange channel for now.

Part 2: Early Upgrades

Equip the best slash attack gear you have in your melee setup. Use:
/gear equip gear_setup:Melee auto:attack_slash

Melee auto

Kill baby dragons (black/blue) with

/k name:baby blue dragon

until you have the bones for
prayer:43

43

. Then use

/offer name:Dragon bone

to train to 43.

Once you have
prayer:43

43

, do
/minion train style:magic

magic

to begin gaining magic XP while doing combat. Then start doing Barrows — it's useful early as it doesn’t require food and has strong uniques.

If you have 300k GP, consider buying an Iban's staff with

/buy name:Iban's staff

as it boosts Barrows.

Train magic until at least
magic:55

55

, then switch to any other style.

Main accounts can sell duplicates in #grand-exchange or use

/sell

for early GP. Spend it on Potatoes with cheese, a Bandos godsword, and other upgrades.

Post-Barrows Gear

This is the gear you should equip after finishing Barrows. If you have items like DKS rings, Amulets of glory/fury, god books, Ava's accumulator, Mage arena cape, Fire cape, etc., equip those too. This setup is good for monsters that require food without using too much of it.

(If you bought a Bandos godsword earlier, equip it in melee instead of a Dharok's greataxe.)

Part 3: The Rest of the Game

With some basic gear, easy access to food, and mid-high combat stats, you can now do most activities on the bot.

Some monsters have item/stat requirements, shown on the Boosts & Requirements page. This page also lists boosts for bosses.

You can view BiS gear for bossing/PvM here.

For specific activities like CoX and The Nightmare, check their pages for stat/gear advice.

For skilling methods, visit the respective pages in this wiki.
