Help & FAQ
What is FlaxPicker?
A free OSRS companion. Type your RuneScape name and it shows your next three moves, which bosses you are closest to and the gear upgrade that helps most. You can also pick a goal — a boss, a quest, a 99, a diary, an Ironman milestone — and it reads your account, shows what you're missing in the order to do it, and highlights the one next step. Every feature is free; there is no paid tier.
Do I need an account?
No — there are no accounts. Your goals and ticks are stored in this browser (local storage plus a cookie), not on our servers. To use them on another device, export the file and import it there.
What can you see about my account?
The public Hiscores: levels, XP, boss kill counts, clue counts and the number of collection log slots. The Hiscores don't contain quests, diaries, Combat Achievements or items, so for those you can sync from RuneProfile (a free RuneLite plugin) or tick them yourself. Anything we can't see shows as “?” — never as missing.
My RSN isn't found
Check the spelling (case doesn't matter). New accounts and accounts without a ranked skill don't appear on the Hiscores, and name changes take a while to show.
My levels look out of date
The Hiscores update when you log out or hop worlds, and we cache each RSN for 5 minutes. Use “Refresh now” on your dashboard.
How is the next best action chosen?
From the steps you can start right now (everything they need is done), we prefer the ones that advance the most of your goals — weighted by which goal is your main one — that unlock the most later steps, and that take the least time. The reasons are shown under the suggestion, and you can skip it.
Where do quest and diary requirements come from?
Imported from the OSRS Wiki (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) and refreshed regularly, so new quests appear without anyone retyping them. Boss readiness levels are common recommendations, marked “recommended” rather than required.
How is ironman detected?
We check the ironman, hardcore and ultimate Hiscores. Group Ironman can't be detected — choose it on your account page, where you can also override a wrong detection.
How is GP/hr calculated for money makers?
Revenue = outputs per hour × instant-sell price after GE tax. Cost = inputs per hour × instant-buy price + fixed costs. Each method page shows the full table. Prices come from the OSRS Wiki real-time price API.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Your data exports everything as one JSON file, imports it again on any device, gives each plan as a CSV checklist, and deletes everything in one click.
Do I need to install anything or share my password?
No. FlaxPicker never asks for game credentials. RuneProfile sync is optional.
How is it paid for?
It isn't, beyond a few dollars of hosting a month. There are no ads and nothing is locked. If it helps you, there's an optional support link.
