An OSRS combat achievement service is a paid offer where a provider helps you finish Old School RuneScape boss tasks, either one task at a time or a whole difficulty tier. The game has six Combat Achievement tiers, from Easy to Grandmaster, and Jagex introduced them on 21 July 2021. Once you finish every task in a tier, you claim that tier’s rewards from Ghommal. Service listings often advertise low starting prices, such as $0.12 per task, but your final cost depends on exactly which tasks you still need. Before you spend anything, know the biggest issue with these pages: Jagex’s rules treat paying someone to play your account as prohibited real-world trading.
Rule risk is the main reason to slow down. In a March 2021 clarification, Jagex said that paying someone with cash, in-game items or money to complete activities while logged into your account is not allowed. Its Rules of RuneScape apply to both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, and breaking them can get an account muted or banned. Many service pages also offer related bossing help, such as Chambers of Xeric, Theatre of Blood and Tombs of Amascut carries, plus Infernal Cape services, so you may see those options listed next to Combat Achievement coverage.
Key Takeaways
- You should know that paying someone to play your Old School RuneScape account to finish Combat Achievements breaks Jagex’s rules, and you could get your account muted or banned.
- You should treat a starting rate like $0.12 per task as a floor, since your final cost depends on which tasks you still need, so ask for a written quote that lists each remaining task with its own price.
- You should check whether a provider’s price is per task or per tier before you compare offers, because a per-task price grows with every boss task you add.
- You should buy individual tasks if you are stuck on only a few bosses, and consider a full-tier quote if most of a tier like Elite or Master is still open in your OSRS Combat Achievements tab.
- You should read the OSRS Wiki guide for each remaining task and plan your gear and practice for the Royal Titan Speed-Runner task, which requires killing the Royal Titans in under 1 minute 30 seconds.
What Does an OSRS Combat Achievement Service Cover?
A typical OSRS combat achievement service covers the boss tasks in the Combat Achievement system, either one task you choose or every task in a full difficulty tier. The game’s tiers run from Easy up to Grandmaster, so a provider can help with a single kill you keep failing or with an entire tier’s checklist.
Many services advertise coverage of all six tiers. You will usually see two ways to buy. The first is task by task, where you name the boss task you are stuck on and pay for that one. The second is a full tier, where the provider takes on every task in that tier, including the ones that look easy and the ones that take many attempts.
The difference matters more than it first seems. A single-task service only covers what you name, so you decide which tasks get done and can stop after one. A full-tier service needs your complete task list, including the tasks you have already finished, because a tier is only complete when every task in it is done. Pricing follows the same split. Some listings show individual-task prices, such as examples around $4.48 and $8.97, rather than one fixed price for a whole tier.
Keep in mind that the coverage list is not frozen. In February 2025, the Royal Titans’ Combat Achievement set was added to the game. It includes the Royal Titan Speed-Runner task, released on 18 February 2025, which requires killing the Royal Titans in less than 1 minute 30 seconds. A speed task like that is a different challenge from a long grind, because your gear, your team and your timing matter more than how many attempts you can afford.
Before you choose between the two options, check how a provider handles new sets. Ask whether a listed tier includes the newer tasks, and whether the price is for each task or for the full tier. Those details change what you actually get, so confirm them first.
How Much Does a Combat Achievement Service Cost?
Many listings show a starting rate, and your final cost depends on how many tasks you need and which tiers they sit in. A low number on the page is a place to begin, not the price you will pay.
Some providers list starting rates from $0.12 per task. That figure is a floor. The exact price depends on the task list you send, so an account that only needs a few Easy tasks will land in a very different place than one still working through Grandmaster kills.
Individual-task listings work the same way. Some have shown examples priced at $4.48 and $8.97 per task, rather than one stated price for a full tier. Those examples tell you what one task might cost, not what a whole tier will cost. The total grows with every task you add, so a per-task price can look small until you count the tasks you still need.
That is why you should read the listing closely and ask whether the price is per task or per tier. A per-task price means you pay each time you add a boss task. A per-tier price covers the whole checklist for that tier. The same headline number can mean a very different total depending on which one it is, so check the wording before you compare two offers.
Several factors push the final price up or down:
– The number of tasks you still need. Finished tasks usually do not add to the cost, so a half-done tier can cost far less than an empty one. Confirm how the provider counts this. – The tiers involved. Harder tiers usually mean harder kills, longer attempts and more gear or team setup, which can change the quote. – Task style. Speed tasks are a different job from a long grind. The Royal Titan Speed-Runner task, released on 18 February 2025, requires killing the Royal Titans in less than 1 minute 30 seconds, so a provider may price it differently from a standard kill. – Account progress. Completion time can vary with tier and how far along your account already is, and more time spent means more work for the provider. – Whether newer sets are included. Ask if a tier listing covers the Royal Titans’ set, since it was added in February 2025 and may not match an older tier quote.
Because starting rates are not a guaranteed quote for a whole tier, ask for a written quote that lists each task you need and its price. Compare that quote with the listing’s own terms, and make sure the total matches the per-task or per-tier basis you were quoted.
Is Paying for Combat Achievements Allowed Under Jagex Rules?
No, paying someone to play your account to finish Combat Achievements breaks Jagex’s rules, and that applies to Old School RuneScape as well as RuneScape. The Rules of RuneScape apply to both games, so a service that logs into your OSRS account and kills bosses for payment falls under the same limit.
The rules address this situation directly under their real-world trading rule. Paying someone to play a player’s account is named in that rule, so you do not have to guess whether it is covered. The rule is about trading real-world value for in-game progress, and handing your account to someone else to finish boss tasks is a clear example of that.
Jagex made its position more specific in March 2021. In its March 2021 clarification, it said that paying someone with cash, in-game items or money to complete activities while logged into your account is prohibited. That means the payment method does not change the answer. Gold, a trade of items, or a cash transfer all fall under the same ban when the work happens on your account.
Consider a common setup. You pay a friend or a service to log into your account and work through Vorkath or Zulrah kills while you wait. Even if you never touch the keyboard, the activity is being completed on your account in exchange for payment, which is the arrangement the March 2021 clarification describes.
The penalties are serious. Jagex says breaking its game rules may result in an account being muted or banned. A mute can stop you from chatting, while a ban can cost you access to the account itself. The risk is not limited to one Combat Achievement task. It can affect everything you have built on that account, including your skills, items and tier progress.
Service pages can make this hard to see. Some listings focus on how quickly tasks get done and say little about who logs in or how the work is performed. Read the description closely, and pay attention to any wording about access to your account, login details or who will be playing during the work.
When you read a provider’s terms, look for three things. Ask who will log into your account, whether you will be logged out during the work, and how the provider describes the process. If the answer means someone else is playing your account for payment, the rule described above applies.
Use the Jagex rules themselves as your reference point for what Jagex prohibits.
Which Combat Achievement Tiers Are the Hardest?
The hardest tier is Grandmaster, and difficulty rises at every step from Easy. Jagex’s six tiers run in order: Easy, Medium, Hard, Elite, Master and Grandmaster. Each one asks for tougher kills than the tier before it, so a task you clear in Easy may take far more attempts in Master or Grandmaster.
The early tiers mostly test whether you know the boss and can survive its basic attacks. Easy and Medium tasks usually come down to learning the mechanics and bringing reasonable gear. Once you reach Hard and Elite, you need better gear, sharper timing and a clear plan for each phase of the fight. By Master and Grandmaster, the tasks often demand consistent execution over many attempts, and one bad mistake can cost you a long run. That is where many players start to feel stuck.
The newest addition is the Royal Titans’ Combat Achievement set, added in February 2025. Its Royal Titan Speed-Runner task was released on 18 February 2025 and asks you to kill the Royal Titans in less than 1 minute 30 seconds. It is marked as a Hard task, and it is a very different challenge from a long grind. You do not win it by making more attempts. You win it by getting the fight right in one short window.
Speed tasks like this depend on three things:
– Gear: Your weapons, armour and supplies have to hit hard enough and last long enough to keep the clock moving. – Setup: Your team, prayers and the order of your actions matter, because a slow start can cost you the whole run. – Practice: You need enough repetitions to make each step automatic, since a single hesitation can push you past 1:30.
Because all three factors take time to build, speed tasks are a common reason players look for help. Many players already have the stats for a boss but still lack a reliable routine for a timed kill. That gap is often where a service can save the most hours, since the provider’s experience with the fight matters more than a few extra kills.
Where you save time depends on the tier and the task type. Long grinds in Master and Grandmaster are costly because each failed attempt adds to the total, and a tier-wide service can spare you that repetition. Speed tasks save time in a different way, because the fight itself is short but the practice to make it work can take many sessions. Neither type is automatically easier than the other, so the right choice depends on which bottleneck you are facing.
Before you decide, look at your own task list and sort it by where you keep getting stuck. A few tasks that fail on the same mechanic may point to a gear or setup problem, while tasks that fail because of rushed timing may point to practice. Knowing the difference helps you ask a provider better questions about what they will actually change.
Individual Tasks or Full Tier: Which Should You Pick?
Pick individual tasks if you are stuck on only a few bosses, and pick full-tier coverage if most of a tier is still open. The right choice depends on how many tasks you still need and how clearly you can list them.
Individual tasks suit players who are only stuck on a few bosses. Say you have cleared most of your Hard tier, but one kill is the only thing standing between you and that tier’s reward. Paying for that single task keeps your spending tied to the gap you actually have. You also stay in control, because you name the task and can stop once it is done.
Full-tier coverage suits players who are missing most of a tier. If your Elite list is mostly empty and many of those kills take lots of attempts, a tier-wide quote may make more sense than buying dozens of single tasks one at a time. Just remember that a full-tier quote depends on the exact task list you send. The provider needs to see what is finished and what is not before it can price the rest.
Individual listings let you spend only on the tasks you need. Because you pay per task, each task you add is one more charge, and you can stop at any point. Full-tier quotes work differently. They are built from your complete list, so a vague request will get a vague answer. If you send the full list first, you will know exactly what you are comparing.
Tier-wide purchases need a clear list of what is done and what is left. Open your in-game Combat Achievements tab and sort the tier into two groups: tasks you have completed and tasks you still need. Keep that list next to you when you ask for a quote, and make sure the provider uses the same split. A mismatch here can make a full-tier total differ from what you expected.
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Individual tasks | You pay only for the bosses you name; easy to stop; good for a few stuck kills | The total grows with every task; many single tasks can cost more than a tier quote; you track each task yourself |
| Full tier | One plan covers every remaining task; sensible when many tasks are open; less back-and-forth | Depends on the exact task list; starting rates are not a guaranteed quote; you may pay for coverage you do not need if only a few tasks remain |
Check how each provider handles newer sets before you decide. Some services sell Combat Achievement help, but their listings often describe pricing in different ways. Ask whether a tier includes the Royal Titans’ set, which was added in February 2025, and whether the Royal Titan Speed-Runner task, which must be finished in under 1 minute 30 seconds, is part of the quote you receive.
How Long Does Combat Achievement Completion Take?
Completion time is not fixed, so no honest provider can give you one number that fits every account. It depends on the tier you are working in, how hard each task is for you, and how much of the list you have already finished.
One provider says completion time varies with tier and account progress. That fits how the tasks play out, because two accounts with the same tier listed can need very different amounts of time.
Higher tiers usually take longer. An Easy task on a boss you already kill often may be done in a few tries, while a Grandmaster task on a boss you have never fought needs the right gear, supplies and a plan before your first attempt. Every failed try adds to the total.
Setup and practice matter as much as the kill itself. A task that needs a specific prayer setup, an unfamiliar item or a team you have to gather takes longer than a task you can start tonight. Long practice runs are common in the higher tiers.
Account progress changes the math in a less obvious way. If you have already finished many tasks, fewer remain, so the total workload shrinks. But the tasks left at the end of a tier are often the hardest ones, so a nearly finished list does not always mean a quick finish.
When a provider gives you a time estimate, ask how it was reached. A good answer should cover:
– How many tasks the estimate counts, and whether finished tasks are excluded – Which tiers and boss types the estimate treats as harder or easier – Whether the estimate assumes you already have the gear and setup for each task – Whether it allows for failed attempts, or assumes everything goes right the first time
If the provider cannot explain those assumptions, treat the single number as a rough guess. Ask for the estimate broken down task by task, so you can see where the time goes and check it against your own progress.
Can Raid and Cape Services Help With Combat Achievements?
Yes, raid and cape services can sit alongside Combat Achievement help, but each one is a separate service with its own rules and prices. Many service listings place Chambers of Xeric, Theatre of Blood and Tombs of Amascut carries next to their Combat Achievement coverage, and some also offer Infernal Cape services.
The overlap comes from the bosses themselves. Some raid bosses also have Combat Achievement tasks, including the Great Olm in Chambers of Xeric, Verzik Vitur in Theatre of Blood and the Wardens in Tombs of Amascut. A kill that counts toward a raid or boss goal may also tick off a task on your list, so one bossing order can help with more than one target. That does not mean every raid kill helps your tier, though. Check each task name against your own Combat Achievements tab before you assume it counts.
The Infernal Cape works differently. You earn it from the TzKal-Zuk fight in the Inferno, so an Infernal Cape service is aimed at that cape rather than your Combat Achievement checklist. Even when a single provider sells both, the cape has its own goal, its own price and its own terms.
Each of these services is priced on its own basis. A Chambers of Xeric carry is not quoted the same way as a Theatre of Blood run, and neither price tells you what a Combat Achievement tier will cost. Ask for a separate quote for each service and check whether it is per run, per task or per package, because those labels change the total.
If your only gap is one Great Olm task, a single-boss service may fit better than a full raid carry. If you are missing several raid-linked tasks across more than one boss, a bossing service could cover more of your list, but only if the provider confirms which tasks are included.
The Jagex rule covers these services too. Paying someone to play your account for a raid carry falls under the same real-world trading rule that applies to Combat Achievement tasks, so the risk does not shrink because the service is a raid. Before you pay, confirm who will log into your account and whether you will be logged in during the run.
Deciding If a Combat Achievement Service Fits Your Account
Before you pay anything, work through the steps below. Together they show whether a service fits your account and your budget.
- Read the provider’s terms and find out who will log into your account during the work. If someone else plays your account for payment, stop there. That breaks Jagex’s real-world trading rule and can get your account muted or banned.
- Ask whether the price is per task or per tier, and ask for the answer in writing. A per-task price grows with every boss you add, while a per-tier price covers the whole checklist for that tier.
- Ask what the starting rate covers. Find out whether it counts tasks you have already finished, and whether a tier includes the Royal Titans’ set, which was added in February 2025.
- Open your Combat Achievements tab in game and split each tier into two lists: tasks you have completed and tasks you still need.
- Send that split to the provider and ask for a quote that lists each remaining task with its own price. A starting rate is not a guaranteed total for a whole tier.
- Ask how the completion time was estimated. Find out whether it counts failed attempts, and whether it assumes you already have the gear and setup for each boss.
- Check the OSRS Wiki and task guides for every remaining task. Note the gear, supplies, team size and practice each one needs, especially for the Royal Titan Speed-Runner task, which must be finished in under 1 minute 30 seconds.
- Estimate what doing those tasks yourself would cost in time, supplies and repeated attempts. Compare that total with the written quote and your own schedule.
- If only a few tasks remain, buy individual tasks. If most of a tier is still open, consider a full-tier quote. Only pay once the terms, the price basis and the time estimate all match what you expected.
Your Checklist Before You Hire a Combat Achievement Service
Start with your own account, not with a provider’s listing. Open your Combat Achievements tab in game and count how many tasks you still have in each tier. If only one or two are left, look at individual-task help first. If most of a tier is still open, a full-tier quote becomes worth comparing.
Then send a short message to any provider you are considering. Ask three questions: who will log into your account during the work, whether the price is per task or per tier, and whether the quote lists each remaining task with its own price. If the answer to the first question is that someone else will play your account for payment, stop there and do not send any gold, items or cash.
Next, pick one task you are stuck on and read its guide on the OSRS Wiki. Write down the gear, supplies and team size it needs. If that task is the Royal Titan Speed-Runner, you must kill the Royal Titans in under 1 minute 30 seconds, so plan your practice before you pay anyone for help with it.
Once you have your own task list and a written quote, check the quote against that list. If it includes tasks you have already finished, ask for a corrected total before you agree to anything.
