Disambiguation
Wind Extractor OSRS: It Doesn't Exist!
You are likely confusing two different Sailing upgrades. Let's help you find what you're actually looking for.
Which one is it?
💨
Wind Catcher
Catches wind to make your ship go faster.
💎
Crystal Extractor
Extracts resources automatically.
Why the Confusion?
It's common for players to mix up the terms "Wind" and "Extractor" because both are high-level upgrades often discussed together in Sailing guides.
However, there is no item called a "Wind Extractor". Combining them would be overpowered!

FAQ
Can I have both on my ship?
Yes! They occupy different slots. The Wind Catcher goes on your mast, while the
Crystal Extractor takes up a 2x2 facility slot on the deck.
Which should I buy first?
If you want XP rates, get the Wind Catcher first for faster
travel. If you want AFK money making, get the Crystal Extractor.
