What OSRS Crystal Gear Includes

Armor & Weapons

Crystal armor boosts ranged accuracy/damage; crystal bow/halberd provide unique attack styles. Every item drains shards when used or recharged.

Tools

Crystal pickaxe/axe/harpoon deliver the fastest skilling actions. Track charges closely—replace before they break mid-run.

Crystal Extractor

Costs 3M GP. Place within two tiles of the helm so you can empty every 5 ticks and collect 8–15 shards/hr without leaving the wheel.

How to Budget OSRS Crystal Charges

Track usage: Log shards spent per hour for armor/tools; adjust skilling routes if ROI dips.
Recharge windows: Recharge at banks after profitable sessions, not mid-loop.
Extractor ROI: Use 3,000,000 ÷ (shard price × shards/hr) to know when you break even.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are crystal tools worth it?

Yes when the skilling GP/hr boost exceeds shard costs. Use shard price × charges to compare against alternative tools.

How do I avoid wasting shards?

Recharge only when needed, keep a charge log, and ensure the Crystal Extractor stays within two tiles of the helm.

Does the Crystal Extractor degrade?

No, but placement is permanent. Misplacing forces a 3M GP rebuild, so always use ghost placement first.

When should I build the Extractor?

At 80+ Sailing when you can guarantee helm uptime and short loops, delivering 8–15 shards/hr.

Does crystal armor still shine in 2025?

Yes for ranged PvM and prestige fashion-scape. Just budget shards or use the Extractor to generate your own supply.
