The 15 Best Mid Game Goals for Oldschool Runescape! [OSRS]

The oldschool runescape mid game is really where the game starts to open up. Your account is a high enough level to start powering through quests diaries and even some mid level bosses. It can however be somewhat overwhelming if you don't have a goal.
Today I am going to be sharing the most important goals you should start working towards in the mid game. These are my personal picks so obviously there are loads of other directions you could take an account, but I feel like these offer a way to progress your account in a balance way!

Needed this. I’ve been trapped in the mid game since early game.

[@KamppProductions]

Just do slayer until max combat, you will have a big bank and you will be able to do any content easy.

[@kurtasee2314]

Best tip I can tell people is to don't hoard gold spend it on your stats ❤ way better to spend the gold for bandos on your stats over having low stats but having bandos ❤

[@byrospyro4432]

Best tip I can give you, is hoard gold, you will need it for end game items, second best tip is to not raid and just go to gwd and do sara, bandos and kree.

[@kurtasee2314]

@@byrospyro4432 nah dude it will take forever or you will never get the stats to even use the end game items hoarding gold early off the only reason high lvls have end game items is because they first got the stats to even use the items it's way easier to make gold , do gw or do raids with rigor and 90+ range and d hide than 75 range eagle eye and armadyl

* grabs chubby kid's face and shakes him *

[@kurtasee2314]

The best tip i can say to any level play is to spend the gp on your stats! Its not worth hording gold just to have a big green stack or spending your bank on somthing like bandos tassests when you dont have somthing like piety its well worth spending that gp on like bursting your mage or chinning range or getting 77 pray and rigour and augury or even getting like 83 construction gp will come and go but the stats are what you really want! And the higher the stats the faster gp comes too ❤

[@ageofampire2]

I have a friend that went for 99 herblore as his first 99 , you should invest into something you need , also new updates play a huge role on what is best to go for

[@matthewbaker2573]

@@ageofampire2 fletching to bows for 99 and hi alching them at the GE will earn a pretty penny. spend that on bars for smithing, only smith platebodys, hi alch from mithril - use gp to continue buying bars to 99, adamant plates are profit from bar cost. then buy gems and gold bars for crafting, these sell pretty well on GE - work to 99. if you do your daily herb and birdbox runs while doing that, you will have more than enough to get herblore up - once you hit level 90, making super combats is a small earner. it really is a good idea to smash out the stats that can be done with gp as soon as possible, because once you've built your house, the only thing to spend it on is weapons, potions, food and armor grinds can be boring, but remember, once it's done, you never have to do it again

[@hemmoau]

Got base 70s yesterday and 2 tasks away from all hard diaries, perfect time for this vid.

[@mickdunn7291]

Gratz bro! I need to get from 66-70 RC for base 70s. I got lazy with the diaries a while back tho so I need to go back to them when I get my Slayer helm imbued

[@fireice8828]

Hey for the slayer imbued, do PvP arena you'll get it in like 1 hour! Especially if you find 3 other people to collaborate with and keep running tournaments against eachotherm a Pvp arena loss is 12k points and it's only like 250k points for the scroll of imbuing

[@hemmoau]

@@mickdunn7291 GOTR is a godsend for RC. With base 70s you should be able to afk NMZ 10 minutes at a time to imbue slayer helmet if you don't feel like LMS. I REALLY hope the new varlamore 2.0 activity is either wintertodt for herblore or blast furnace for herblore, anything that can improve that grind. I've been doing the Wildy slayer Strat from this video and while the drops are nice the slayer xp rate is like 8k/hr, doubt I'll keep doing it. Seems like slayer is going to be the first thing to really slow down my account, first grind since level 3 that can't be done in a single week of nonstop focus.

[@mickdunn7291]

@@fireice8828 thanks for the tips, ill remember that for my alts where i wanna get it fast. I stuck with nmz, but that was because i wanted to work towards 90 defence.

[@RSPSPhenom]

Wow I searched for this exact video about 5 hours ago after starting my first OSRS account this week. Thanks!

[@Pan.95]

I'd also probably recommend unlocking void gear sets once you complete medium combat diary just for the extra points to save time from that grind. I personally found the void gear to be fairly helpful in a variety of content from zulrah to some grandmaster quests (can also be used in earlier ToA if you want to make gp whilst learning raids). Also makes elite void a nice goal for those comfortable learning zulrah

[@chrisramseier5690]

Pro tip with your herb runs, throw in hops runs too, yanillian hops, seeds are dirt cheap, few gp each, but each hop harvested is over 1k each :)

[@Dr00zk1]

I was stuck in midgame for years, now im nearly max combat (except prayer at 86) and my final 2 quests are DT2 and Theatre which im completing over this weekend. Approaching the endgame has been exciting as a player whos been off and on for 22 years

[@ShynyMagikarp]

last time you uploaded one of these it gave me motivation to make some goals and actually progress my account. now I can safely say my account is well past these thanks to your motivation! would love to see a 'next step' to all of these now, too!

[@3rdgenbestgen21]

I came back from a very long break since 2012. I cam back March this year and the first thing i did was to actually beat Jad to hype me up again. And i defeated him on 3rd try, now im fully back. With new bosses introduced, Jad is an introduction compare to a lot of bosses. Beating him would give you a whole new level of confidence. Now im stacking Zulrah with my lvl 88 combat. I can do 2 kills easy per run, thats 150k-200k per 5 mins.

[@TempestTemple]

For the grandmaster quests, I recommend Monkey Madness 2 first. It's by far the easiest since every boss is flinchable or safespotable.

[@AffablyAndrew]

It also requires 69 slayer which is rough. (I'm suprised that the Myreque questline isn't on there for Hallowed Sepulcher)

[@TempestTemple]

@AffablyAndrew 69 slayer is a bit high but it still has arguably the lowest reqs for any grandmaster quest. Sins of the Father isn't a grandmaster quest which is why it wasn't mentioned there.

[@xedgeforeverx]

I would say song of the elves since the boss has a percent max hp attack. The lower your hp the lower the hit.

[@Cruxfire]

Someone send this to players that say Bowfa is the start of the mid game.

[@thatboyashley]

After all the updates we have had, it's good to see this - old methods aren't as good as the newer ones! Thanks for the update bro

[@matthewbaker2573]

it's a crazy grind, but well worth it - if you work solid getting construction to 99 as quickly as possible - you then you can teleport around the map from where ever you are using the cape. this will save you hours of running and a lot of gp in the long run i did it all the way on an account with mahogany homes, the only thing i did in between was farming, but only when i had a contract in that town. which wasn't that expensive overall. if i remember rightly, i got to level 50, bought 40k teak and 4k steel from exchange, and had quite a bit of those left over which i sold because of the reward boxes after getting the construction outfit. getting the spell to talk to npc from anywhere and obtaining the plank sack are advised to get as soon as possible. on the side while doing it, the farming will gain you a nice amount of wood which you can either burn or fletch. as well as herbs to make potions and food for cooking it was a long grind, i was at it for a couple of months, but i am now spending a lot less time doing things, being able to teleport everywhere - practically for free =)

[@beasthaven1571]

Sounds expensive

This. I think your describing later mid-game. Most of this video is early game (med. diaries, farm guild, etc.) or the very start of mid game. I'm at 2100 total, nearly done all elites, inching towards a few goals. But any grind at this point feels so long. Would be nice to see some options layed out.

[@jamontoast]

@@KZbinhandle579 Yah, I was considering maxxing, raiding, pet hunts all diaries etc ENDgame and then the chunk of content before that lategame,but i guess you could call it late midgame too. feels crazy to have like 2k hours logged and ur bossing with 90s stats and still be considered midgame don't it? x) really i just wonder what goals flippingosrs would prioritise after players make their first 100m and start dipping their toes into the late(ish)game stuff.

Exchange noted items to the Gardener in the building to the West for Nests, Crush nests, sell crushed nests. Stick to melee until you can afford An Abyssal whip; price keeps dropping, you’ll be able to afford on in a few hours of grinding. Mole takes no skill, it’s follow him and grind it out.

I found a lot of these goals to be (in my opinion) early game goals. So if this is mid game to you, then what do you call Late game, end game, or what ever else?

@@NightCrafted were talking about mid game goals here… that means no seed pod, and that definitely means no scout.

@@troyrussell177 yeah, but you can still do Calvarion in monks robes and 3 iteming. So basically your deaths can be covered in 3-4 calv kills. It's also possible to camp the 3x3 area in the entrance and leave as soon as a pker comes in

Most of these work for ironmen! Slayer might take more priority to get a whip but many of these tips apply still. As an iron now entering the late game I highly recommend going for your questcape, don't slack on your herblore, try to do some diaries whenever you feel like it but most importantly: do grinds you feel like doing!

some of these goals feel near endgame with the reqs to get them lol would be interesting to see how different this would be for an iron

[@CptMaximus]

They're really not, endgame is generally considered to be raids, (slayer) bosses that require A tier gear to be killed efficiently and any skilling related content that would require 80-85+. Flipping did an excellent job keeping his recommendations in the mid game. Many of these goals can be attempted with lvl 50-70 skills or combat stats which is exactly the mid game! He even recommends MEDIUM diaries, it doesn't get much more mid game than that. For ironmen one of the major differences is the buying of upgrades obviously. Getting higher tier weapons has a different progression and attaining the advanced prayers requires raiding which is definitely closer to endgame, though Cox can definitely be completed in mostly mid game gear. I'd love to hear what tips you found to be endgame, you might be holding yourself back!

[@PokeTheMostest]

@@CptMaximus lmfao bud I said some and the main being the gear aspect which you agreed with which was the only Ironman focused one believe me I’m not holding myself back

Necklace will probs be 24m+ forver more and will later get dunked on and nerfed like the occult necklace.
