Old School RuneScape
Early, mid, and late are rooms, not a promise. Rates move. Wiki keeps the hour. A paid coach is a call, not this page.
Levels
Early
Sailing is live. Pandemonium is the door. After that the wiki names courier tasks, bounty tasks, charting, shipwreck salvage, Barracuda Trials, and deep sea trawling. Do not paste a 2012 fishing hour onto a boat.
Mid
Crew and hull as the current training page lists them. Charting is map work. Salvage is a timer. Trials are a room. Pick the one you can repeat without tilting.
Late
The late sheet moves. Confirm the current Old School Sailing training page before you buy a hull you cannot dock. If a method is not on the wiki this week, it is not a method.
Wear
Whatever the Sailing page lists for that task. Not a slayer helm. Not a max melee set on a deck.
Afk
Salvage and the tasks you can leave on a heading. The live page owns which one is actually afk.
Fast
Trials or the task the training page currently ranks. Confirm it.
Watch
This skill is new enough that a blog will lie. Wiki wins.
