What's going on guys, my names Theoatrix and today I'm going through 20 mid-game goals for 2025. Achieving most of these will move you towards end-game content, introducing you to bossing and higher levelled activities.
Guide Outline
Barrows Gloves
The first goal for mid-level gamers is to obtain the Barrows Gloves. These give high attack and strength bonuses, as well as some defence, and they're required to make ferocious gloves. Earning the barrows gloves also gets a tonne of quests out of the way, and sets up your account very well towards the end game.
Dragon Defender
The dragon defender is vital for your account, where its used almost everywhere. It’s required to make the Avernic defender, which is the best in slot for offensive bonuses. On average, getting a dragon defender takes less than 4 hours to get, and you might even consider getting 2 dragon defenders, so you have a spare one for wilderness content.
Herb & Birdhouse Runs
Herb runs and birdhouse runs are important for passive income and experience. Herb runs in particular can be one of the best money makers in the game if you do them efficiently, and this can set you up with the GP to spend on other items in this list.
Prayer Book
It’s a lot cheaper nowadays to unlock all of the prayers on the prayer book. Currently unlocking rigour plus augury only costs 11 mil for both, and only requires 77 prayer. So work on this goal as you progress your account, using herb runs and slayer to pay for it.
Spellbooks
Another vital unlock is unlocking all of the spellbooks, as well as their extensions. So this includes Desert Treasure 1, Lunar Diplomacy, Dream Mentor and A Kingdom Divided to unlock all of the spells. Having access to every spell really expands the amount of content your account can do.
Grandmaster Quests
The next mid-game goal is to work towards grandmaster quests, notably Monkey Madness 2, Song of the Elves, Dragon Slayer 2, While Guthix Sleeps and Desert Treasure 2, and they can be completed in that order in terms of difficulty. These quests unlock a broad range of content for your account, with new combat and skilling methods, new areas and new items.
Cape Upgrades
Getting the cape upgrades is another stepping stone out of the mid-game. Earning your Fire Cape is a step in the right direction, then upgrading to the Ava's Assembler and Mage Arena 2 cape will further progress your account. These capes give huge bonuses in their respective combat style, and I would consider them to be essential unlocks for main accounts.
Slayer
Another mid-game goal is to set up your account for slayer, and train the majority of your combat stats for slayer. This is essential, especially if you're going for the max cape. You can setup blocklists and unlocks at the slayer master to suit your play style, then you should do all your combat at slayer and bossing.
Achievement Diaries
To transition out of the mid-game, its also important to keep up with your achievement diaries. Completing up to at least the hard tier of diaries will significantly improve your quality of life. Elite diaries can be left for later since they have very high requirements, and the hard diary tiers offer similar rewards.
Mid-Game Bosses
Another goal for the mid-game is to try out mid-game bosses to get comfortable with the mechanics. Two great examples of mid game bosses are Scurrius and Perilous Moons, which both have somewhat advanced mechanics, but aren't super damaging. Doing this will also get you some combat achievement points, and also some GP and XP in the process.
Medium Combat Achievements
That leads me to my next mid game goal, which is completing up to the medium combat achievements. This will make some parts of the game a lot easier with a range of rewards, like no prayer drain at barrows, and faster pest control points. Completing combat achievements also introduces you to a range of bosses, including some interesting challenges.
Clue Requirements
Another goal for mid game players is to work towards clue requirements. With the insane prices of 3rd age items, clue scrolls can be one of the best money makers in the game. Clue scrolls are something you’ll likely do for the entire duration of your account. So you can get the requirements for each clue as you get them, they give you stats to work towards.
Farming
It’s important to level your farming, particularly for better herb yield, so with that, you should do cheap tree runs, specifically maples papayas hardwoods and Calquats. The earlier you start, the less money you'll have to spend later to train it faster.
Quest Cape Requirements
The next goal is to skill towards the quest cape requirements. They set a nice goal for your account, with the required stats being around base 70s. Completing your quests is one piece of completing your account, and obtaining the quest cape is a vital step out of the mid-game.
AFK Methods
Another mid game goal, is to set up AFK methods for yourself. Some stat requirements in OSRS can be daunting, but gaining experience with little to no effort really speeds up the process, so think of the skills you want to AFK. Those could be woodcutting, fishing, cooking, mining and others.
Elite Void
Earning yourself the elite void outfit, particularly the range set, is a vital unlock for your account. Elite void range in particular is a useful set at the theatre of blood. The other void sets aren't the best, but its not a bad idea to go out and get them. You should realistically do this after you get the medium combat achievements completed, so that it speeds up your points.
Fighter Torso
The fighter torso provides high strength bonuses for an item you don't have to spend money to get. The torso is also required for a master clue, and to complete the hard Kandarin diaries, you need to kill the penance queen anyway, so you’re one step closer to the fighter torso with that.
83 Construction
Another mid game goal is to work towards 83 construction to semi max your house. This is a very expensive goal, costing over 50 mil with traditional training methods, but having a maxed player owned house is a must for your account.
Base 90's
A goal to work towards to exit the mid-game is to reach base 90s in the combat stats. This sets you up for end-game content, like raids and bossing, allowing you to partake in almost all end game PvM content. If you do all of the previous goals I've said, and get 90s in the combat stats, you’ve pretty much entered the end game.
End-Game Content
Number 20, the final mid game goal of this video, is to try out certain pieces of end game content. Don't be afraid to try new bosses, or to try new methods, and ultimately, dying a few times isn't that bad. At the end of the day, the goal is to have fun, so if you can find a party to raid with or boss with, you’ll enjoy playing and learn a lot at the same time.
Anyways, those were 20 Mid-Game Goals for 2025. Getting these will take you out of the mid game, putting you towards end game content.
Thanks for watching.
