OSRS Gale Extractor: It Doesn't Exist!
You've mashed two powerful items together. Let's help you find the real one you're looking for.
Which one is it?
🌪️
Gale Catcher
Tier 3 Sail Upgrade. Massive speed boost.
💎
Crystal Extractor
Deck Facility. Passive resource farming.
Why the Confusion?
The term "Gale Extractor" likely comes from players discussing their high-level ship builds, which often include BOTH the Gale Catcher (for movement) and the Crystal Extractor (for profit).
There is no single item that does both. You need to buy and install them separately.

FAQ
Can I have both on my ship?
Yes! This is actually the recommended "End Game" setup for maximum efficiency.
The Gale Catcher gets you to resources faster, and the Extractor harvests them automatically.
Which should I buy first?
If you are focused on leveling Sailing, get the Gale Catcher
first. If you want passive income while doing other things, get the Crystal
Extractor.
