OSRS Guide
Sailing OSRS Guide
From core mechanics to upgrade milestones, ROI tips, testimonials, pricing, and FAQ—everything you need for Sailing 2025.
Core Mechanics
- Navigation: Tailwinds speed you up; headwinds give no bonus. Wind Catcher adds 8–12% on tailwinds.
- Weight: Cargo above 70% slows you sharply—plan salvage routes with timely returns.
- Facilities: Level 80 unlocks the Crystal Extractor; within two tiles of the helm you can empty it every 5 ticks.
Early Efficient Loop
Run Port Sarim ↔ Crandor short contracts with 1–2 salvage pins. Keep loads light and routes short to avoid headwind detours.
Upgrade Milestones
Level 60: add Mithril/Adamant Hook. Level 70: take Wind Catcher. Level 80: unlock the Extractor and confirm helm distance with ghost image to avoid a 3M GP rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I swap from Sloop to Skiff?
Move to a Skiff when contracts/salvage need larger holds or longer routes; for pure XP, the Sloop stays faster.
Where should the Extractor go?
Within two tiles of the helm: right next to the Sloop helm, back-right diagonal on Skiff, two tiles east on Galleon.
How big is the wind impact?
Tailwind-heavy routes pay best. In headwinds, switch to salvage or reroute; Wind Catcher still helps mobility.
