Old School RuneScape has over 40 bosses to master. Whether you're a first-time PvMer or a veteran raider, knowing which boss suits your skill level and bank value is crucial. ## Beginner Bosses (No Death Cost) ### Giant Mole Gear cost: 50K, Profit: 200K gp/hr, Difficulty: 1/10. Located under Falador, the Mole is the perfect introduction to bossing. ### Obor / Bryophyta Gear cost: 100K, Profit: 300K gp/hr, Difficulty: 2/10. Hill Giant and Moss Giant bosses drop the Hill Giant Club and Bryophyta's Essence. ### Scurrius Gear cost: 200K, Profit: 400K gp/hr, Difficulty: 2/10. The Rat King beneath Varrock sewers is excellent prayer XP and introduces basic mechanics. ## Intermediate Bosses ### Sarachnis Gear cost: 2M, Profit: 500K gp/hr, Difficulty: 4/10. Great entry-level boss with the Cudgel drop. ### Barrows Gear cost: 1M, Profit: 1M gp/hr, Difficulty: 3/10.
