RSorder OSRS: Levels your combat skills passively

Once your combat stats are in the 40s, quests won't provide as much benefit, so it's time to RuneScape gold grind. At this stage, the best monsters to train on are Sand Crabs or Ammonite Crabs.

Sand Crabs are located in Hosidius and are extremely AFK-friendly.

Ammonite Crabs (on Fossil Island) are even better, with 100 Hitpoints and very low Defence, meaning long AFK sessions with steady XP.

Equip a Rune Scimitar (cheap and efficient) and focus your combat style on Strength training. Increasing Strength first makes kills faster, boosting overall XP rates.

Ammonite Crabs also drop fossils, which can be exchanged at the Varrock Museum for free XP rewards. Many players use this period to casually train while multitasking with OSRS Mobile.

Unlocking the Dragon Defender

At around 65 Attack and Strength, your next big milestone is the Dragon Defender, one of the best Melee off-hand items in the game.

To obtain it, head to the Warrior's Guild:

Collect tokens by killing reanimated armour sets.

Use tokens upstairs to fight Cyclopes for defenders.

Work your way from Bronze → Rune defenders (1/50 drop rate each).

Finally, move to the basement for the Dragon Defender (1/100 drop rate).

While the grind can take hours, the Dragon Defender provides a massive Strength bonus and will remain useful even at endgame. Alongside it, consider grinding other long-term gear:

Fighter Torso (Barbarian Assault) for Strength bonus.

Barrows Gloves (Recipe for Disaster).

Fire Cape (Fight Caves).

High-Level Training (70–99)

With all three combat stats around 70, it's time to focus on long-term methods. The most efficient and rewarding approach is Slayer training.

Why Slayer?

Levels your combat skills passively.

Unlocks profitable high-level monsters.

Rewards useful items and valuable drops.

Before starting, ensure you have 43 Prayer for protection prayers. Ideally, reach 70 Hitpoints and 85 Combat to cheap Runescape gold unlock the Slayer Master Nieve/Steve.
