What the colours and symbols mean
- ✓ Green — you have it. Either you clicked it, or your Hiscores prove it.
- → Yellow — you can get it now. Every requirement we can check is met.
- ✗ Red — not yet. A skill level, quest, diary or earlier item is missing; hover the icon to see which.
- ? Grey — we can't tell. No account data, or a requirement the Hiscores don't expose.
- ⊘ Slate — you're not getting it. Your call, not a shortfall: it stops being recommended but stays visible and reversible.
Click any item's icon when you own it — you don't have to wait for it to go yellow. The small ⊘ in the corner marks something you have no plans to get; shift-click the icon does the same. Everything saves as you click, and nothing reloads.
- ✓ Verified — your public Hiscores prove it: a skill level, a boss kill count, a clue count, a minigame score or your collection log count.
- ✓ Synced — read from the RuneProfile data your own game client uploaded: quests, quest points, diaries and Combat Achievement tiers. Automatic, but it is your data as of your last sync, not something Jagex confirms — so it gets its own word.
- ✓ You have this / ✓ Done — you told us. Nothing can confirm it, so we don't pretend otherwise.
- ○ Not done — either the Hiscores say the requirement isn't met, or you haven't ticked it yet.
- ? Cannot be verified — we genuinely don't know. Usually no Hiscores data, or the account isn't ranked for that counter, where a low count and being below the cut-off look identical.
- ✗ / ○ Not done — you haven't got it yet. The tick next to a name is a single button: click it when you do.
- ◐ Planned — one of your current goals. Skip hides a step from recommendations without deleting it. Both live on an item's own page, not on every card.
The Hiscores do not contain quests, quest points, achievement diaries, Combat Achievement tiers, or anything about items, equipment or bank. The collection log appears only as a count of filled slots — never which items. We never claim to verify any of those.
Early game 0 / 28
Your first real kit — most of it gated under about level 60, and most of it bought, smithed or handed to you by a quest. Earliest latest
Mid game 0 / 56
Moons of Peril and Barrows, and the slayer and boss staples: trident, dagger rings, occult, warhammer, godswords. Earliest latest
Late game 0 / 59
Megarares and best-in-slot. Raids, the hardest bosses, and the items an account finishes on. Earliest latest
Within each section items run roughly in the order you'll get them — earliest first. An item's own page shows what it upgrades from, what it leads to, and the equally valid alternatives.
Quests, diaries and Combat Achievements
The OSRS Hiscores contain none of these. Enter your RSN above and, if you've synced your account to RuneProfile, we can read your completed quests, quest points, achievement diaries and Combat Achievement tier from there instead of asking you to tick them.
Credits and sources
The idea of laying gear out as a routed progression chart rather than a flat "best in slot" table comes from the community's Ironman progression charts — the r/ironscape gear progression list, Ladlor's Interactive Ironman Progression Chart, ZeroUltra's Ironman PvM Exploration Chart (which credits the Ironscape Discord community), Yazi's Ironman Gear Progression 2025 on the wiki, and ironman.guide. We took the shape from them — a dependency graph with per-account state — and built our own content and ordering.
Item names, requirements, sources and stat changes are taken from the OSRS Wiki, including its Ranged and Magic gear progression guides. Every card lists the pages it was built from. Nothing here is copied wholesale; where a 2025–26 update changed the advice, the card says which update and what changed.
