Old School RuneScape minigames Tier List: All OSRS minigames, ranked

While skills are the heart of Old School RuneScape‘s gameplay, Jagex’s legendary MMORPG also features a selection of minigames to break up the game’s grind, where players can try something totally new.

There are 46 Old School RuneScape minigames in total. We’ve separated them into combat and skilling Tier Lists, as well as a final category for those that just don’t fit into either.

Old School RuneScape Combat Minigames Tier List

Old School RuneScape combat minigames are some of the most popular content in the entire game. Jagex has done a great job of creating a variety of minigames that encompass both PvP and PvE content, each with its own unique gameplay. Many of the game’s meta combat items for different levels can be earned from these minigames, too, so some are essential if you want to have best-in-class gear. Items like the infernal cape and elite void knight set make playing all 21 of these Old School RuneScape combat minigames well worth the time.

To rank these minigames, we’re considering a few different factors. Fun is obviously at the forefront, but you just can’t ignore the potential rewards for each, either. Then, there are current activity levels to consider. Sure, Castle Wars is iconic and was a blast to play back in 2007, but what good is it if you can’t actually find a match nowadays?
