Are you looking to level up your skills in Old School Runescape quickly and efficiently? Here are the top 10 best skilling methods for maximum efficiency:

10) Mining: 3-tick granite mining

Use 3-tick action to drop mined granite on the ground between mines, using the resizable mode, zoom in and turn the camera south to prevent misclicks
With good performance, players can gain up to 60,000-70,000 experience per hour at level 45, 85,000-90,000 at level 70, 105,000-115,000 at higher levels, and 125,000-130,000 experience at level 99

9) Runecrafting: Ourania or Guardians of the Rift

Use the ornate rejuvenation pool and jewellery box in the player-owned house for quick teleportation and healing
The Guardians of the Rift minigame offers passive Mining and Crafting experience, and valuable runes obtained through the minigame can be kept for later use or sold on the Grand Exchange for profit
For the fastest experience, use the best pickaxe and all essence pouches available, and the rune pouch is recommended to save inventory space.

8) Fletching: Spam making feathers and dart tips

Purchase the necessary feathers and dart tips from the Grand Exchange and use the Fletching skill to make them into finished products
This method offers quick experience gains and can be profitable if the finished products are sold on the Grand Exchange.

7) Firemaking: Wintertodt

Subduing Wintertodt from level 50 Firemaking onwards is a slower, but profitable and low-effort alternative to burning logs
The Pyromancer outfit increases Firemaking experience by 2.5%
The fastest way to gain Firemaking experience is to be on an official World (307, 309, 311, 389) and light a brazier as soon as the round starts, chop bruma roots until you have a full inventory and burn them in the brazier.

6) Prayer: Gilded altar or Chaos altar

The fastest way to train Prayer is to offer bones at a gilded altar in a player-owned house, which gives 350% experience per bone when both incense burners are lit
To save money, offer bones at the Chaos altar in the Wilderness instead
Players who do not have the Construction level to build a gilded altar can look up for house party hosts on World 330 at the Rimmington house portal and the Yanille house portal.

5) Magic: Bursting or barraging maniacal monkeys in MM1/2 tunnels

After completing the Desert Treasure I quest, players unlock Ancient Magicks, which can be used to kill multiple monsters at once in multi-combat areas
Killing maniacal monkeys in Kruk's Dungeon is the fastest viable way to train Magic in real-time, but it requires having started Monkey Madness II until the part the player reaches Kruk’s Dungeon
Use equipment that maximises the player's Magic damage and Prayer bonuses, and strongly recommended to use a weapon that can auto-cast Ancient Magicks.

4) Ranged: Chinning in MM1/2 tunnels

Throwing chinchompas at maniacal monkeys is the fastest way to train Ranged, but it also costs money
Use equipment that maximises the player's Ranged damage and Prayer bonuses.

3) Melee: Dharok NMZ

The Nightmare Zone offers the fastest solo experience per hour and the most AFK training method in the game
Barrage tasks are the most efficient way to train Defence and Magic, while Melee tasks offer good experience rates and can be profitable depending on the task list.
Use overload and absorption potions, gained from NMZ points, to reduce the need for super combat and prayer potions.

2) Construction: Mahogany tables

Building mahogany tables in the Dining room and gnome benches in the Superior garden is the fastest viable training method at level 52, but it is costly
The optimal method is to build 3 tables and remove 2 tables in the time the Demon butler takes to fetch planks from the bank
When correctly timed, players can gain up to 900,000 experiences per hour.

1 )Thieving: Blackjacking Bearded Pollnivnian bandits

Blackjacking Bearded Pollnivnian bandits in Pollnivneach offer the fastest experience until level 49, from level 65 to 91.
Players must have partially completed The Feud quest and have a blackjack of any kind.
Getting complete rogue equipment at level 50 is recommended for double loot per pickpocket, and players need food to heal themselves. Wearing the Hitpoints cape for faster health regeneration is recommended if the player has one.
