Frequently Asked Sailing Questions
How do I start Sailing in OSRS?
You'll unlock Sailing by completing the introductory quest *Pandemonium* at Port Sarim, which teaches you the basics of ship control and gets you your first few levels. After that, follow our **How to Start Sailing OSRS** guide at `/guides/how-to-start-sailing-osrs/` for a detailed checklist.
What's the fastest way to train Sailing from 1–99?
Fastest routes currently mix early port tasks, efficient sea charting, Barracuda Trials, and high-tier shipwreck salvaging. Check the **1–99 Sailing OSRS** article at `/guides/1-99-sailing-osrs/` plus the **XP Rates Dashboard** at `/tools/xp-rates/` for live comparisons.
How good is Sailing for money making?
Sailing can be very profitable once you unlock higher-level shipwrecks, bounty tasks, and certain resource routes. Our **Sailing Money Making OSRS** guide at `/training/sailing-money-making-osrs/` lists options by GP/hr and required level.
Where can I see the official Sailing news and patch notes?
Jagex maintains an official Sailing hub with news, alpha/beta updates, and patch notes at the Old School RuneScape website. We summarise key changes on our **OSRS Sailing Release Date** page at `/updates/osrs-sailing-release-date/`, with links back to the official posts.
What are the best AFK methods for training Sailing?
Shipwreck Salvaging is the primary AFK method from level 15 onwards. Use Salvaging Hooks and upgrade to Salvaging Station at level 42 for optimal AFK XP rates. Check our **OSRS Sailing Salvaging** guide at `/activities/osrs-sailing-salvaging/` for detailed routes and setups.
Do I need high combat stats for Sailing?
No, Sailing is a non-combat skill. While some activities like bounty tasks involve combat, the core Sailing training methods (charting, port tasks, salvaging) don't require combat stats. You can train Sailing on any account type.
What ship should I use at each level?
Start with the Raft (level 1), upgrade to Skiff at level 10 for port tasks and charting, then move to Sloop at level 24 which handles most content well. Use our **Ship Planner** tool at `/tools/ship-planner/` to get personalized ship and facility recommendations based on your level and preferred activities.
How long does it take to get 99 Sailing?
Depending on your methods, 99 Sailing takes approximately 80-150 hours. AFK salvaging is slower but more relaxed (~150 hours), while active methods like Barracuda Trials and efficient port task routing can reach 99 in ~80-100 hours. Use our **Training Planner** at `/tools/training-planner/` to estimate your personal timeline.
