RSorder OSRS: Planning the Next Goals

To optimize the grind, I remade a strength amulet and brewed strength potions using limp roots and red spider eggs. With boosts, the rune scimitar consistently hit higher numbers, making the grind more efficient and rewarding. I even snagged my first Obor kill on RuneScape gold this account, adding another memorable moment.

Planning the Next Goals

While prayer is now my main active grind, I've set aside AFK time for flesh crawlers. They provide bone fragments, which are essential for body rune crafting, and also grant steady runecrafting XP. This dual approach-prayer while active, runecrafting while AFK-lets me chip away at two of F2P's slowest skills simultaneously.

A Note on Real Life

Outside the game, I've recently taken up painting again, experimenting with acrylics for the first time. My current project is a waterfall scene from a childhood memory. Just as in RuneScape, progress comes from patience and practice-one layer at a time.

Final Thoughts

The journey to the rune scimitar has been one of my most significant accomplishments in F2P Ultimate Ironman. More than 6,000 hours of persistence, countless risks in the Wilderness, and endless grinds led to this moment. Now, with the best weapon in hand, I'm better prepared than ever to push prayer, runecrafting, and eventually max every F2P skill.

If there's one lesson to share, it's this: don't obsess over efficiency. Play at your own pace, enjoy the process, and stay consistent. That's how progress is made-whether in RuneScape or real life.

Scurrius is one of the most accessible bosses in Old School RuneScape, designed as an entry point for players who want to dip their toes into PvM without being thrown into the deep end. He's straightforward, teaches you valuable combat fundamentals, and gives you a taste of prayer flicking-one of the most important mechanics in the game. If you've never killed a boss before, Scurrius is the perfect place to start.

This guide will walk you through who Scurrius is, how to find him, the mechanics of the fight, what gear to bring, and why he's worth your time.

Who is Scurrius?

Scurrius lives in the Varrock Sewers and is designed as an entry-level boss. He's not difficult, but his fight introduces you to mechanics like:

Prayer flicking between Protect from Melee, Ranged, and Magic.

Dodging AoE shadows to avoid unnecessary damage.

Managing adds, since he periodically spawns rats you'll need to kill.

Killing Scurrius gives solid combat XP per hour and offers a safe environment to practice skills you'll need for harder bosses later, such as Jad or the Inferno.

Getting to Scurrius

Start in Varrock. Teleport or run there.

Head northeast of the central square, near the city wall.

Look for the manhole (close to where the Romeo & Juliet quest NPCs hang out).

Climb down into the Varrock Sewers.

Walk east until you find the broken bars. Behind these bars lies Scurrius' lair.

When interacting with the entrance, you'll see three options:

Normal: Anyone on your world can join the fight. Scurrius has 1,500 HP here.

Private: A solo instance where Scurrius has 500 HP. Highly recommended for beginners.

Peek: Lets you check if anyone's already inside.

For learning purposes, always choose Private. The lower HP means shorter, less stressful fights.

Recommended Gear and Setup

The beauty of Scurrius is that you don't need end-game equipment to kill him. In fact, you can beat him in cheap OSRS GP bronze armor if you're consistent with prayer flicks.
