OSRS skilling service prices have no fixed rate. Displayed 1–99 examples range from $29.94 for Fletching to $606.53 for Slayer. The price can vary based on the skill, starting level, training method, account setup, supplies, and delivery speed. A headline price may cover a selected level range or XP amount rather than a full 1–99 order. Before comparing quotes, know that Jagex’s Real World Trading rules prohibit paying someone to play your account and raise its experience.
Training yourself also takes time and attention. Level 99 requires 13,034,431 XP. Rooftop Agility rates vary by course, and the listed maximum rates assume perfect laps, according to the Old School RuneScape Wiki.
Key Takeaways
- OSRS skilling prices have no fixed rate, with displayed 1–99 examples ranging from $29.94 for Fletching to $606.53 for Slayer, so treat listed prices as snapshots rather than guaranteed quotes.
- Before comparing OSRS quotes, match the starting and target levels, XP amount, training method, account requirements, supplies, and delivery terms because a low price may cover only part of a skill.
- Jagex prohibits paying someone to log into your OSRS account and raise its experience, even when you pay with in-game coins or items, so do not proceed with any offer that requires account access.
- If you train Agility yourself, level 99 requires 13,034,431 XP, and OSRS rooftop course rates range from 10,000 XP per hour at Draynor to 70,000 at Ardougne, with maximum rates assuming perfect laps and no failures.
What Does OSRS Skilling Cost?
There is no standard OSRS skilling service price. Market examples range from tens of dollars for some 1–99 skills to more than $600 for others. Your quote depends on the skill, starting and target levels, training method, account setup, supplies, and delivery options.
A displayed price may cover only a selected level range or amount of XP, not a full 1–99 order. For example, a Sand Crabs Attack option is displayed at $142.61 for levels 1–99, with its per-million-XP rate changing across level bands. A price for a smaller level range can look much lower than the total for a full skill.
The training method and account setup also affect what an option includes. A quote may assume a particular method or require specific account conditions. Supplies may be included in a custom quote, or you may need to provide them yourself. Delivery options can also affect the price, so two quotes for the same skill may cover different work or timeframes.
Treat the figures in this article as market snapshots, not guaranteed quotes. The final amount depends on the exact starting and target levels, method, supplies, account setup, and delivery option. Check what each displayed price covers before comparing it with another option.
Why Do OSRS Skill Prices Vary?
OSRS skill prices vary because quotes can cover different amounts of XP, training methods, account requirements, supplies, and delivery options. Two prices for the same skill are not equivalent unless they cover similar work.
Check the starting and target levels, then confirm how much XP the price includes. A quote for part of a level range is not the same as a full 1–99 quote. Some providers may also set prices by XP rather than using one fixed rate for every level range.
The training method and account setup can change the work involved. For example, an Agility quote based on rooftop laps may assume access to a particular course, while another method may involve different steps. Account conditions that limit available methods can also affect the quote.
Before comparing prices, check whether each quote includes:
- The same starting level, target level, and XP amount
- The training method and any account conditions it assumes
- Supplies, and whether you or the provider supplies them
This can change the total even when the listed training range is the same.
Express delivery can also affect the price. Compare the delivery terms for each quote rather than assuming express options have the same turnaround or extra charge. A lower displayed price may reflect a different XP range, method, supply arrangement, or delivery option, rather than a better deal for equivalent training.
How Do Skill Prices Compare?
Displayed OSRS market prices vary widely by skill. Examples range from $29.94 for 1–99 Fletching to $606.53 for 1–99 Slayer. The examples below show why you should compare what each price covers, not just the dollar amount.
| Skill | Example of a displayed market price | What the listing describes |
|---|---|---|
| Fletching | $29.94 | 1–99 |
| Agility | $490.89 | 1–99 |
| Slayer | $606.53 | 1–99 |
| Prayer | From $39 | 1–99 listing |
| Slayer | From $518 | 1–99 listing |
| Attack | $142.61 | 1–99 calculator quote for 13,034,431 XP using Sand Crabs |
| Cooking | $0.13–$72.99 | Selectable price options, not one fixed full-99 quote |
The two displayed Slayer examples differ, even though both describe 1–99 listings. Prices for the same skill can reflect different calculators, training ranges, or quote details. The labels alone do not show whether the options include the same work.
The Attack example shows how an XP-based calculator can display a price alongside a full-level range. Level 99 requires 13,034,431 XP, but the calculator price still depends on the quote details and method. Cooking is different: the displayed $0.13 to $72.99 range represents selectable price options, not one price for training from level 1 to 99.
How Does Paid Training Compare With Doing It Yourself?
A paid training quote exchanges a cost for less time spent skilling yourself. Training Agility yourself avoids that service charge but means completing the laps. Whether the price feels worthwhile depends on how much time you can spend in the game and how much you enjoy the training method.
Level 99 Agility requires 13,034,431 XP. The OSRS Wiki rooftop Agility course table lists maximum rates from 10,000 XP per hour at Draynor to 70,000 XP per hour at Ardougne. These maximum rates assume perfect laps with no failures, so your actual progress may differ.
Your results depend on which course you can use, how consistently you complete laps, and how long you want to focus on Agility. A listed maximum rate is a reference, not a promise of how quickly you will reach level 99. It also cannot tell you how many sessions or days your training will take.
To judge a quote, compare its cost with your available playtime, preferred training method, and willingness to train yourself. If you enjoy rooftop courses and have time to train, doing your own laps may suit you. If you would rather spend your playtime on other parts of OSRS, the time saved may matter more than the price. Consider your own preferences: a high quote may not feel worthwhile if you enjoy training, while even a lower quote may be hard to justify if you have time and patience to do it yourself.
Is Paying Someone to Train Allowed?
No. Jagex prohibits paying someone to log into your OSRS account and raise its experience. The Rules of RuneScape count paying someone to play your account as Real World Trading. Jagex’s Rules of RuneScape explain what falls under this rule.
Jagex clarified in March 2021 that this restriction applies even if you pay with in-game coins or items instead of real-world money. If someone logs into your account to train skills such as Mining, Agility, or Slayer, paying with OSRS currency does not make the account access permitted. Jagex’s account-services clarification explains this distinction.
Jagex treats in-game help differently. You may pay another player with in-game items or money for help provided in-game, as long as that player does not log into your account. For example, you can control your own character while another player helps you with an in-game task. The key difference is account access, not whether you pay with real-world money or OSRS currency. Paying someone to train your account is not allowed just because the payment stays in-game.
What Should You Check Before Choosing?
Before choosing, confirm the training details, included costs, delivery terms, and account-access requirements. Use this checklist to compare offers on the same basis:
- Confirm the skill, starting and target levels, XP amount, and training method. An OSRS Attack quote for Sand Crabs may not cover the same training as an option using another method.
- Check whether supplies are included in the price or whether you must provide them. A quote that excludes items you need may not show your full cost.
- Compare similar delivery options, then check whether the displayed amount is a full quote or a selectable price range. A range of options is not one fixed price for training from level 1 to 99.
- Make account access your deciding factor before considering any offer. Jagex prohibits paying someone to log into your account and raise its experience under the Rules of RuneScape, even when payment is made in-game.
Compare the Exact Training Range
Before checking a price, write down the skill, your current level, your target level, and your preferred training method. If you are comparing a full 1–99 option with a quote for part of that range, make sure both cover the same amount of XP. A lower price for fewer levels is not a like-for-like comparison.
For a full 1–99 goal, use 13,034,431 XP as the benchmark. For a goal that starts above level 1, enter your actual starting and target levels in a calculator where available, then compare the result with the listing. Check whether the price includes supplies and whether the delivery option suits your needs. If you plan to train yourself, use the OSRS Wiki’s rooftop Agility rates as a reference. Remember that its maximum rates assume perfect laps with no failures.
Before paying for any account-training offer, check whether someone would log into your account. Jagex prohibits paying someone to play your account and raise its experience under its Real World Trading rules. If account access is required, do not proceed. Compare only options that do not involve another player logging in.
