Sloop OSRS Guide

Fastest starter ship: routes, Extractor placement, ROI math, testimonials, pricing, and FAQ updated for 2025.

Why the Sloop Still Matters

Sloop is the early-game speed ship for short contracts and frequent returns. This landing page mirrors the homepage format (Hero → What/Why/How → Features → Sample → Testimonials → Pricing → FAQ) with unique content for the “Sloop OSRS” keyword set.

Recommended Setup

Install Wind Catcher for 8–12% tailwind speed, place the Crystal Extractor directly starboard of the helm (within two tiles), keep the deck clear, and reinforce the hull lightly to avoid sluggish turns.

Sloop helm-side Extractor placement

Place the Extractor directly starboard of the helm to keep 1-tick empties without leaving the wheel.

Routes & Rhythm

Loop Port Sarim ↔ Crandor contracts and add nearby salvage for GP. Return once cargo tops 60% to maintain ship speed and XP/hr. When headwinds hit, switch to salvage nodes instead of forcing the route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why pick Sloop instead of Skiff?
Sloop excels at XP and agility; Skiff offers more cargo and longer runs for GP.
What if the Extractor is placed wrong?
You must demolish and rebuild, losing 3M GP. Use the ghost image first and keep it within two tiles.
Can a Sloop run Barracuda?
Yes, with solid helm work and 5-tick emptying. Mobility is great but leaves little room for mistakes.
