Comparison

Sloop vs Skiff: OSRS 2025

Speed vs cargo, Extractor placement, sample ROI, testimonials, pricing, and FAQ—so you can pick the right hull for XP or GP.

Why This Comparison Matters

Sloop vs Skiff is the core Sailing decision. This landing page mirrors the homepage structure (Hero → What/Why/How → Features → Sample → Testimonials → Pricing → FAQ) with unique comparison content.

Key Differences

Sloop: fastest, low cargo, Extractor sits directly starboard (≤2 tiles). Best for short contract loops and XP pushing.

Skiff: slower, large cargo, Extractor sits back-right. Best for mixed contract + salvage with fewer bank trips.

Profit & XP

Sloop

Higher XP/hr, GP depends on frequent banking. Expect 90–120k XP/hr + 300–450k GP/hr.

Skiff

Slightly lower XP/hr, higher GP/hr due to salvage capacity: 80–110k XP/hr + 450–600k GP/hr.

Features Comparison

Sloop Speed

Best for Barracuda chases and short loops.

📦
Skiff Cargo

Halves banking trips with large salvage holds.

⚙️
Extractor Placement

Both must keep the Extractor within two tiles of the helm.

🪙
ROI

Sloop recovers speed upgrades fast; Skiff pays off salvage modules over longer runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for Barracuda?
Skiff is more forgiving; Sloop is agile but less forgiving. Team coordination matters more than hull.
Can I move the Extractor between ships?
No. Misplacement forces a new build (3M GP). Always use ghost placement.
Can I switch hulls later?
Yes—plan Extractor placement for the target hull. Use Sloop for XP, Skiff for GP when ready.
Do upgrades transfer?
Most modules must be rebuilt, so plan which hull you’ll run long-term before crafting expensive parts.
How do I decide quickly?
If you want fast XP, pick Sloop. If you need stable GP and salvage, pick Skiff. You can always swap later—just plan Extractor placement carefully.
