RuneLite has transformed OSRS, making the game easier and more enjoyable for so many players. Almost every activity now has a dedicated plugin, totalling over 1,000 plugins. They guide players on where to click and what to do next, improving efficiency and gameplay. While some plugins offer minor conveniences, others are so powerful that they feel almost essential to keep up with the competition. In this guide, we’ll cover the best RuneLite plugins that can take your OSRS experience to the next level.
Most plugins are found by clicking the configuration setting found on RuneLite. However, some plugins like quest helper need to be downloaded from the plugin hub by clicking the icon shown below.
Here is a summary of the best RuneLite Plugins:
The Quest Helper plugin is on the top of this list due to its massive impact on the game. Before its introduction, players had to carefully read dialogue, solve riddles, and figure out puzzles during quests—often a time-consuming process. Now, the plugin highlights the correct answers, objects to click, NPCs to talk to, locations to visit, and many others, streamlining the entire questing experience. Players no longer need to fully understand a quest before completing it, making it especially useful for those with multiple account builds who would otherwise have to repeat quests multiple times.
This plugin hides other players, making it seem like you are the only player in the game. You can also choose to make only players in your friends list, clan chat or in combat with you visible. This is especially useful for activities like Wintertodt or when using another player’s house for prayer training, where seeing hundreds of other players might be distracting. it also significantly improves the frame rate and game performance since there is less load on your PC.
The Ground markers plugin allows players to mark tiles anywhere in the game. It is mostly used to mark safespots during PvM. When facing some monster or bosses in the game, marking the safe tiles makes the fight a lot easier as players can focus on more important things like prayer switches or healing. To do this, simply hold shift, right-click the tile, and click “mark tile” after enabling the plugin.
This plugin allows players to save any gear and inventory setups they like so they can quickly gear up for different activities like Zulrah, Vorkath, or Runecrafting. When saved, the player can click the eye icon next to the name they used to save the gear and inventory, and the plugin will filter the bank, showing the player only those items.
To save any gear and inventory setup, simply equip the gear and put the items you want in your inventory, then click add new setup and write the name you wish to save the setup as. Ensure the bank tags plugin is enabled for it to work.
After saving, click the icon shown below to enable bank filtering, then open your bank and click the eye icon on the right for it to show only the items saved.
This plugin lets players stretch the game window, making it possible to see and interact with areas that would normally be unreachable. It’s especially useful for activities like Runecrafting and questing, allowing players to directly click on altars or objects, reducing unnecessary cursor movement and clicks.
This enables players to change the default left-click and shift-click options displayed when you hover over an in-game object or item. This plugin is useful for several activities like drinking stamina with shift-click directly from the bank during blast furnace, left-click to drop useless items, left-click to use bones at Chaos Altar, and many more.
This tool is quite underrated. It is a simple overlay that changes every game tick, it either displays a box on your screen, displays a number, or displays your true tile that changes every game tick. It allows players to time different activities better, like 1 or 3 tick skilling for woodcutting, fishing and even used for flinching different bosses like the Kalphite Queen.
This plugin is useful for players who do bossing, PvP, clue, or PvE runs. It records every item the player receives from any monster they kill in the game. This allows players to track their loot and determine the profitability of the activities they engage in. Additionally, it allows players to share and compare the results with friends and other players.
The Idle Notifier plugin alerts players when their character becomes idle or when HP or prayer reaches a set threshold. This is especially useful for AFK activities like Sand Crabs, woodcutting, or fishing, ensuring players stay engaged and maximize XP while multitasking in real life.
If a notification is missed, the Logout Timer plugin provides a backup as players can use it to extend the idle logout time to 25 minutes instead of the default 5 minutes. This prevents frequent logouts, saving time and eliminating the hassle of repeatedly entering login details.
Time tracking helps players monitor the status of their birdhouses, herb patches, and tree patches, providing a notification when they’re ready. Since birdhouse and farm runs are among the most efficient ways to train Hunter and Farming, this tool is invaluable. It allows players to quickly collect their yields and reset their setups, maximizing both XP and rewards within their playtime.
