Stats You NEED For Raids (OSRS)

When it comes to completing raids in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the stats your account has can make the difference between success and failure. Whether you're playing as an ironman or a regular account, preparing the right skills will help you complete raids efficiently and consistently.
Inspired by insights from Theoatrix2, this guide breaks down the essential stats for Chambers of Xeric (Raids 1), Theatre of Blood (Raids 2), and Tombs of Amascut (Raids 3) — plus expert tips on how to prepare your account.

Why Stats Matter for OSRS Raids

Raids are some of the most rewarding and challenging activities in OSRS. Your skill levels impact your ability to:

• Navigate tricky mechanics

• Manage resources effectively

• Contribute more to your team’s success

Focusing on the right stats early saves you countless hours of unnecessary grinding — allowing you to raid smarter, not harder.

Chambers of Xeric (Raids 1): Critical Stats

Essential Skills:

• Herblore (78+): Create potions that boost damage, defense, and survivability. Absolutely vital for ironmen.

• Mining (70+): Speed through the Guardians' room by efficiently mining obstacles.

• Agility (70+): Manage run energy and dodge damaging mechanics more effectively.

• Cooking: Especially important for ironmen preparing their own food supplies.

Why These Skills?

• Herblore: Boosts combat effectiveness through potions.

• Mining: Reduces time stuck at mining challenges.

• Agility: Increases survivability and raid speed.

• Cooking: Ensures you can heal during tough fights without relying on others.

Theatre of Blood (Raids 2): Minimal Skill Requirements

Key Focus:

• Agility (70+): Critical for maintaining run energy during the intense movements required throughout the raid.

Additional Tips:

• Practice positioning and movement.

• Communicate with your team for supplies.

• Focus on precision and dodging mechanics to maximize your agility advantage.

While Theatre of Blood is more about combat skill and coordination, having strong agility still massively improves your efficiency.

Tombs of Amascut (Raids 3): Mining Becomes King

Recommended Skills:

• Mining (85+): Crucial for quickly clearing mining-related obstacles and speeding up raid progression.

• Herblore and Cooking: Still highly recommended for ironmen needing potions and food.

How to Prepare:

• Train Mining aggressively before tackling Raids 3.

• Stock up on supplies if you're an ironman.

• Organize team logistics — clear roles prevent supply overlap and wasted time.

Ironman Accounts: The Extra Challenge

Playing ironman mode in OSRS requires full self-sufficiency during raids. Here’s what you must prioritize:

• Herblore: Craft your own potions.

• Cooking: Prepare your own healing food.

• Mining: Handle mining rooms without team reliance.

Investing in these skills before attempting raids will give you a massive edge — and save you from costly deaths.
