Splashing in OSRS is the act of purposely getting below -65 magic attack bonus to hit only 0 damage on an enemy when casting a spell. This way is a straightforward method to train magic cheaply and very AFK.
Because of the lack of attention needed, many people use this method while doing other things in real life, such as working, studying, watching television, etc.
Splashing magic is a widely used method for members players on both mains and specialty accounts due to the lack of hp levels gained. Splashing is even obtainable for free-to-play OldSchool RuneScape players if needed.
OSRS Splashing guide will go over exactly how to splash in Oldschool RuneScape, what armor to use, where to splash, and what spells to use to get from level 1 to 99 magic by splashing in OSRS.
Splashing spots in OSRS
Certain spots in OSRS are contested for splashing, but there are a few spots in OSRS where other splashers do not often go.
When choosing a place to splash in OSRS, take into account how many people are here, what level are the enemies, how AFK are the enemies. At peak times of the day, many people could be logged onto one spot, making it hard to find a creature to splash on.
So when choosing your spot, make sure it is easy to find a place quickly whenever you need it. For most splashing spots, players look for low-level enemies to make sure they do not have to bring food.
Choosing a right spot is more essential for lower defense players as stopping to eat food or running back to the location can be detrimental to XP rates.
Enemies with special abilities can cut into your XP rates, so make sure to avoid these as well. As an example, here are some secret often uncontested spots for splashing. All of these spots are accessible for both Members and Non-members.
- In the Draynor Village houses, there are rats that are often free to splash on.
- On the Port Sarim docks, there are many seagulls that can be free to splash on.
- In level 2 of the Stronghold of Security, there are many rats open to splash on.
- In the Champions Guild, there are chickens that are often available to be splashed on.
- The Sorceress’s house in Al Kharid has three spiders crawling around it, which can make excellent splashing creatures.
- In the Varrock Palace, there is a single Monk of Zamorak who can be splashed on safely.
- In the 3rd story of the Wizards tower, there is a Lesser Demon who can be splashed on.
Tip: When splashing on rats in members’ worlds, there is a chance another player could come and kill your rat with a cat. This issue should be taken into consideration when choosing to splash on any rats.
OSRS Splashing Gear
To achieve the -65 magic attack bonus required to splash enemies making sure you deal 0 damage every single hit, full plate armor of any kind such as Bronze, Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, and Rune can be worn along with d’ hide vambraces or a Cursed goblin staff.
Tip: We recommend to have level 40 range required to use the Green d’ hide vambraces so the staff spot can hold a fire staff for unlimited fire runes. A fire staff is more useful than a Cursed Goblin Staff because of the Cursed Goblin Staff’s inability to provide free runes.
1-99 OSRS Magic Guide
There are two main methods to achieve 99 magic via splashing, the fast way, and the cheap method. The quick method uses the highest level fire spell available to the player, whereas the cheap method uses the level 13 spell, fire strike, all the way to level 99 magic.
The benefits of the fast method are that it takes significantly less time and 836,423 fewer spell casts than the cheap method. The problem with the fast method is that it costs well over 100 million more OSRS gold than the cheap method.
