Skills

The skills interface.

A player levels up a skill.

Skills are a player's attributes that can be advanced throughout the game. Skills are trained by repeating actions that give experience in the skill until enough experience is earned to advance to the next level. Skills range from cooking food, to chopping trees and to casting magic. Some skills are "interlaced", meaning that they can be used together. For example, logs obtained from Woodcutting can be lit for Firemaking, which can then be used to cook food for Cooking.

There are 23 different skills in Grinderscape.

All skills start out at level 1 except for Hitpoints, which starts with level 10. Players can advance a skill to level 99. After that, they can increase their experience up to 200,000,000 but get no more levels for doing so. See Hiscores for the relative rankings of the different skills.

Skills can be temporarily boosted through special equipment, items, Prayer, or potions.

Notable Skilling Area

The Resource Area is a small enclosure located east of the Deserted Keep. It is guarded by Mandrith. An entrance fee of 5,000,000 coins is required to enter the resource area. This is reduced depending on their Donator Rank. If a player logs out while inside the area, they will need to wait for the 8 second wilderness logout timer.

The resource area contains various Fishing, Woodcutting and Mining resources. Piles, a banknote exchange merchant, will note items obtained within the area for 50 coins per item. Players should be warned the area is in the Wilderness, and may be attacked by other players here. It is advised to bring extra coins in order to re-enter the area when logging out to help evade player killers.

The mine is one of many in Grinderscape where three iron rocks can be mined without moving, thus ideal for power-mining. It also contains two runite golems, which can be killed then mined for runite ores. There is also a permanent fire, which allows fishers to cook their dark crabs without the need to create a fire. In addition, there is a furnace and anvil within the area, making it unique for being a place where the whole cycle from mining ores to stackable smithing produce can be done within very short distances.

The fastest way to the resource area is the Edgeville Teleport Lever.
