Always prioritize getting the scavenger eating early. Thieve in cycles of three chests, dump, then repeat until ~27–29 grubs. Finish with four or five to RuneScape gold cap at 39, since the first 39 give full points.
Olm Fight Efficiency
Olm is where most runs succeed or fail.
Spec order: Three Eldermalls + one ZCB. Don't overspec hands; save ZCB for head phase.
Prayer: Camping Mage is generally best for supply conservation.
Worldscythe or Hokam methods can be used if low on supplies for safe, damageless Olm phases. Having sufficient OSRS gold can ensure safety at this stage.

If you've been grinding away and wondering what to focus on next, here are 10 essential goals that will push your account into late-game territory. By completing these, you'll spend less time worrying about unlocks and more time bossing, skilling, and enjoying the game.
