OSRS continues to evolve with each update, offering players fresh and engaging ways to interact with the game. The introduction of new relics adds layers of depth and strategic options for both seasoned and new players. On Day 11 Three, three new relics were revealed, each with unique features designed to enhance the OSRS experience. These relics—Friendly Forager, Corner Cutter, and Dodgy Deals—are particularly intriguing because they offer significant passive benefits that complement various skills. Let’s explore each relic and analyze their potential impact on gameplay.

1. Friendly Forager: A Lifesaver for Herblore Training

The Friendly Forager relic is a game-changer for players focusing on gathering resources, particularly in Herblore training. This relic grants a special pouch, akin to the Herb Sack, which players can equip during activities like woodcutting, fishing, mining, or hunting. The pouch passively collects herbs based on your Herblore level, plus an additional 25. This is a great way to obtain herbs for potion-making while simultaneously gaining small amounts of Herblore XP, making it a two-in-one feature.

Key Features:

    • Grimy Herb Collection: The pouch stores herbs that are within your Herblore level range, plus an additional 25 levels. As you gather resources, you collect these herbs passively, which saves time and effort.

    • Herb Clean and XP: Every time a herb is collected, it provides a tiny amount of Herblore XP, adding up over time.

    • Inventory Limitations: The pouch shares an inventory with the Herb Sack, meaning you can’t stack both of them at once. It’s a trade-off that ensures a more streamlined inventory for your Herblore needs.

    • 90% Chance of Secondary Ingredient Non-consumption: This is where the Friendly Forager shines. When creating potions, secondary ingredients—like Snape Grass or Ranarr Weed—have a 90% chance of not being consumed. This massive perk significantly reduces the amount of resources you need for Herblore training, making it even more cost-efficient.

    • Bonus Potions: The relic also gives you the ability to make four-dose potions instead of the standard three-dose, improving efficiency in potion production.

Compatibility with Other Relics:

While this relic is incredibly powerful, it may conflict with the Overgrown Relic, which also offers herb and secondary ingredient collection. The Overgrown Relic excels in gathering both herbs and secondaries from farming and is paired with a Grimoire Relic. If you plan to use Overgrown, the Friendly Forager may not be necessary, as Overgrown provides a broader benefit across both herb and secondary ingredient gathering.

However, if you’re not opting for Overgrown, Friendly Forager is an excellent option, especially for those who aim to passively gather herbs while focusing on other skills like woodcutting, mining, or fishing.

Efficiency and Potential:

This relic has the potential to yield 650 herbs per hour when combined with AFK activities like woodcutting or fishing. This is a large quantity of herbs, especially since it’s an almost entirely passive gathering method. Over time, this can result in a significant stockpile of useful herbs for potion-making, reducing the need for constant farming or purchasing herbs from other players.

2. Corner Cutter: Speeding Up Agility Tasks

The Corner Cutter relic focuses on improving your agility training, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to speed up the process of achieving higher agility levels. The relic grants the Sages Greaves, which provide passive Agility XP as you move around the world. It’s the ideal relic for those who want to minimize the grind of Agility while still enjoying OSRS's various activities.

Key Features:

    • Passive Agility XP: As you run around the world, the Sages Greaves provide passive Agility XP. This means you don’t have to actively train Agility through courses to see some progress.

    • Double Lap Completion: One of the most appealing aspects of this relic is that it doubles the completion count for laps. This significantly accelerates the time it takes to complete Agility tasks, especially in courses like Pyramid Plunder or Brimhaven Agility Arena.

    • Bonus XP: On top of doubling the lap completions, the relic also grants bonus Agility XP during those laps, making it even more efficient.

    • Extra Marks of Grace: Corner Cutter also increases the number of Marks of Grace you earn, and at a rate of 10,000 coins per mark, this can be a solid source of OSRS Gold, especially for those working on the Graceful Outfit.

Useful Applications:

This relic is a great tool for players who frequently complete Agility laps but don’t want to grind out the full experience for each course. The Sages Greaves make it so you can focus on other aspects of the game, such as combat, skilling, or questing, while still making progress in Agility. Additionally, it reduces the time needed to reach milestones like obtaining the Graceful Outfit, which is essential for training in other skills like Runecrafting or Thieving.

It is especially beneficial when training in areas like Morania, where more Hallowed Marks are available. This allows players to convert these marks into useful items like Loot Rolls, Prayer Potions, and Sanfew Serums. While the relic doesn’t give a ton of extra loot, it does help reduce the grind, providing small but consistent rewards.

Wilderness Interactions:

An interesting wild card with Corner Cutter is its interaction with the Wilderness Agility Course. Although we don’t have all the details, we can expect that the relic may reduce the time it takes to reach higher tiers of rewards from this course, helping you achieve maximum loot faster. While the Wilderness Agility Course is already rewarding, Corner Cutter adds a significant boost to its efficiency.

3. Dodgy Deals: Thieving Gets a Major Boost

The Dodgy Deals relic introduces a fun and highly rewarding feature for Thieving players. With this relic, players can pickpocket NPCs in an 11x11 square, allowing them to collect loot from multiple NPCs simultaneously. This relic is particularly beneficial for players who enjoy Thieving as it maximizes loot collection in crowded areas.

Key Features:

    • 11x11 Square for Pickpocketing: The relic enables players to pickpocket NPCs across a large area, making it possible to loot multiple NPCs at once. For example, in Varrock, you could potentially loot up to five NPCs in the square, significantly increasing the amount of loot you gather.

    • 100% Success Rate: You’re guaranteed to succeed at all Thieving checks, whether it’s pickpocketing, stealing from stalls, or lockpicking chests. This ensures maximum efficiency while Thieving.

    • Noted Loot: All items you pickpocket will automatically be noted, saving valuable inventory space and allowing you to focus solely on looting rather than managing your inventory.

    • AFK Potential: While the relic does make pickpocketing more efficient, it may not be entirely AFK. The large square can result in pickpocketing multiple NPCs at once, meaning it might require a bit more attention than standard Thieving activities.

High-Yield Areas:

The Dodgy Deals relic shines in areas like the HAM Hideout, where you can pickpocket a large number of NPCs at once, potentially reaching up to 10 NPCs. This creates an enormous amount of loot, especially with the bonus of blood shards, Clue Scrolls, and rare items. Additionally, Tars can be pickpocketed for Blood Shards once you have acquired the Fire Cape, though it’s important to note that they will deal damage when pickpocketed.

While Dodgy Deals doesn’t increase XP gains directly, it offers tremendous potential for increasing loot drops from pickpocketing. It’s especially useful for those farming for Clue Scrolls or rare items, as the relic allows for a near-constant stream of pickpocketing rewards.

Conclusion

The relics introduced in Day 11 Three of OSRS are a fantastic addition to the game, offering new passive benefits that can greatly enhance skilling efficiency. The Friendly Forager provides an excellent tool for passive Herblore training and herb collection, while the Corner Cutter speeds up Agility tasks and makes it easier to collect Marks of Grace. Finally, Dodgy Deals transforms Thieving into a highly rewarding and engaging activity by allowing you to loot multiple NPCs simultaneously. Each relic serves a specific function, so players can choose the one that best fits their playstyle and skill goals. With these new relics, OSRS continues to innovate and provide players with exciting ways to improve their gameplay.
