The looting bag is a valuable storage item in Old School Runescape that allows players to hold up to 28 stacks of any item. In this article, we will dive into the details of how to obtain, use, and lose the looting bag, as well as the benefits and limitations of this handy item. This can help you on your quest to become the strongest gamer and hold more loot!
Obtaining the Looting Bag
- The looting bag can be obtained as a drop from any monster in the Wilderness, excluding aviansies and abyssal demons. It cannot be picked up with Telekinetic Grab.
- NPCs that spawn in the Wilderness while doing Treasure Trails, such as double agents, can also drop the looting bag.
- It can also be purchased at Justine’s stuff for the Last Shopper Standing for 1 Last Man Standing point. A looting bag note can also be purchased from players, the Grand Exchange, or bought from Justine’s Last Man Standing shop. This note can be exchanged at a bank for a looting bag.
- The drop rate of a looting bag depends on the monster’s combat level. Monsters with a combat level of 10 or lower have a 1/15 chance of dropping the looting bag, while those that are level 50 or higher have a 1/3 chance. The drop rate for monsters with combat levels between those two caps is.
Using the Looting Bag
- Players can use the Open option, which makes every tradeable item picked up go straight into the looting bag whilst in the Wilderness, including inside the Ferox Enclave. Once players have looted their desired items, they can use the Close option to have items go into the inventory instead.
- When using items on a closed bag, players will be asked how many they wish to store (one, five, or all).
- Should players wish to have the bag always store as many as possible when using items on it (such as dragon bones), they may use the Settings option to always store as many as possible of the desired item.
- Players can deposit items in the bank by accessing the bank interface, where they can click on the looting bag to show its contents. Clicking on the items or the “deposit all” function will send the items to the bank. Unbankable items will be moved to the player’s inventory instead.
Losing the Looting Bag
- Upon destroying a looting bag in the Wilderness, all items inside are dropped on the ground, available for everyone to immediately see. Certain items such as food, potions, or vials of water will be destroyed in the process.
- Destroying a looting bag outside of the Wilderness, including the Ferox Enclave, will cause all items inside to be lost.
- If the player dies with a looting bag, it is always lost upon death, even if the player does not have anything else that is prioritized over it. When this happens, the player who killed the person holding the looting bag will get everything inside the bag, excluding food and potions.
Benefits and Limitations
- The looting bag is extremely popular for both player killers and monster hunters, as player killers can place items in the bag without having to use or drop most of their supplies, which can weaken them greatly.
- Players killing monsters like green dragons can add an extra 14 kills to the looting bag in addition to what they have in their inventory, boosting profit rates per hour.
- Stored items in the looting bag do not add extra weight for the player.
- It is also used by Ultimate Ironman players as extra storage for items they do not currently need but wish to hold onto, although as they cannot use the bank, the only way for them to get the contents inside is to die, or destroy the bag in the Wilderness and pick up the items.
- The bag can be brought onto Entrana, as long as there are no prohibited items in it.
However, players can only possess one looting bag at a time, tradeable items can only be stored whilst in the Wilderness and stackable items like runes, arrows or noted items stack in the looting bag as they would in the inventory.
The looting bag is a valuable item in Old School Runescape that can greatly benefit players in the Wilderness, both for player killers and monster hunters. However, it is important to understand the limitations and risks associated with using a looting bag, as well as the methods for obtaining and using it. With this understanding, players can make the most out of the looting bag and enhance their gameplay experience in your quest to become the strongest gamer!
