Salvaging Hook Upgrade Ladder

Tier Breakdown

Mithril: Entry-level, pairs with basic salvage loops.
Adamant: Faster interactions, good for mid-tier hotspots.
Rune: Required for serious OSRS salvaging—cuts interaction time and boosts rare drop rates.

Rush Rune Hook if salvage is your main income. Pair it with Wind Catcher to cover more wrecks per hour.

Route Pairing & Operating Tips

Route Checklist

Anchor XP with a short contract (Port Sarim ↔ Crandor).
Insert 1–2 salvage pins per loop—Crandor North, Mos Le'Harmless, East Deep.
Keep cargo at 60–70%; heavy loads erase Rune Hook gains.

Always empty the Crystal Extractor before moving to the next wreck. The Hook is active, the Extractor passive—plan the walkway so both remain accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rune Hook worth it?

Yes, if you salvage regularly. Expect payback in a few hours on high-density routes.

Does it compete with the Crystal Extractor?

No—just leave a walkway so you can reach both within two tiles of the helm.

How should lower levels route?

Practice near-shore salvage until you unlock Wind Catcher and better hooks, then move to deep hotspots.

Should I salvage solo or in a party?

Solo is simpler; parties can split helm/loot roles but need clear communication.

What cargo level keeps the hook effective?

Stay under 70% cargo so you can reposition quickly and capitalize on rare drops.
