If you've been grinding away and wondering what to focus on RuneScape gold 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.

1. Earn Your Quest Cape

It may be cliché, but finishing every quest in the game is one of the most important steps for progression. The Quest Cape unlocks a staggering amount of content, from cities like Prifddinas and Darkmeyer to high-level PvM like ToA and ToB.

Don't forget about the miniquests as well - they often provide quality-of-life upgrades and small but useful rewards. Once you're quest-complete, the game truly opens up.

2. Complete All Hard Diaries

Achievement Diaries offer some of the most impactful long-term account perks. While the medium tiers are great, the hard diaries push benefits to another level.

A few standout rewards include:

Ardougne Diary: +10% pickpocket success, massive for thieving grinds.

Desert Diary: Permanent ropes at KQ and Zahur's potion service.

Falador Diary: Crafting Guild bank access and noted mole drops.

Kandarin Diary: +15% Marks of Grace at Seers' rooftop and boosted enchanted bolt procs.

Morytania Diary: Extra Barrows runes and daily slime/bone meal.

Western Provinces Diary: Elite Void access and private chinchompa hunting grounds.

Every diary tier compounds into better efficiency, easier PvM, and higher OSRS GP per hour. If you haven't started grinding these out yet, now's the time.

3. Upgrade to Crystal Armor and Bow of Faerdhinen

Few gear upgrades change your account as much as the crystal armor set and Bow of Faerdhinen (BofA). For roughly 160M OSRS GP, this setup bridges the gap between mid-game ranged gear and end-game monsters.

From Zulrah and Nex to raids like Chambers of Xeric, BofA provides DPS that rivals much more expensive options. Until you can afford a Twisted Bow, this is arguably the best investment for long-term PvM success.

4. Unlock Endgame Skilling Methods

Training your skills toward their late-game unlocks prevents future bottlenecks. Here are some key levels worth chasing:

77 Runecrafting: Blood runes (AFK or active).

90 Agility / 92 for Sepulchre: Faster run restoration.

85 Farming: Tier 3 Farming Guild and fruit trees.

80+ Fishing & Cooking: Sharks and minnows.

92 Mining: Amethyst, a solid AFK moneymaker.

90 Firemaking/Woodcutting: Redwood logs.

Push your skills up gradually - avoiding burnout is more important than brute-forcing 99s.

5. Unlock Rigor and Augury

At 77 Prayer, two of the most powerful combat prayers become available:

Rigor: +20% Ranged attack, +23% damage, and +25% Defense.

Augury: +25% Magic attack, Magic defense, and overall Defense.

Rigor especially is a game-changer for nearly every boss. While the scroll costs tens of millions of GP, it's worth every coin. Augury, though cheaper, is still a solid investment for cheap OSRS GP magic-heavy encounters.
