OSRS Grid Master Best Start Guide | Fastest Early Game Route

Grid Master throws you straight into the chaos of boosted XP, infinite gold, and relic stacking mayhem. Getting off to the right start means unlocking the strongest tools and relics as fast as possible. Here’s exactly how to do it.

The Best Starting Relic Choice

When the event begins, you’ll be offered three relics after finishing the tutorial: Power Miner, Lumberjack, or Animal Wrangler. The smart play is to go for Lumberjack first. It’s the fastest to unlock and gives an easy route to your next relics.

Cutting maple logs completes one of the first tiles, and Lumberjack boosts both Woodcutting and Fletching or Firemaking. After that, rush Power Miner by reaching level 40 Mining and mining gold ore. This sets you up to unlock Animal Wrangler right after.

Once you’ve got all three gathering relics, you’ll have the foundation for fast resource collection, cooking, and crafting later tiles.

How to Unlock Golden God Early

Golden God is the real game-changer. Unlock it by stealing valuables in Varlamore after reaching level 50 Thieving. This relic lets you cast High and Low Alchemy with no runes or level requirement. It also gives infinite Prayer XP through gold offerings at Chaos Altars.

If you want a smooth route to Golden God:

Use your XP lamps from early tiles on Thieving
Farm early tasks like mining gold ore and chopping maples for free XP boosts
Stack coins from alching early rune gear or drops once Golden God is unlocked

Once active, Golden God fuels your entire build. You’ll gain gold nonstop, train Magic passively, and instantly max Prayer at Chaos Altars.

Early Task Order

Here’s a solid early route that takes advantage of your relics and XP multipliers:

Complete tutorial and unlock Lumberjack
Chop maple logs and claim Power Miner
Mine gold ore and unlock Animal Wrangler
Train Thieving to 50 and steal valuables for Golden God
Fight Scurrius for combat mastery progression
Clean 3 grimy herbs to get Friendly Forager for free Herblore XP

This sequence unlocks nearly every major early relic and prepares you for mid-game tasks like Bryophyta or Hueycoatl.

What Skills to Prioritize

Focus early XP lamps and training on skills that boost others through shared relics. For example:

Construction if you have Craftsman, since Golden God makes it cheap and fast
Prayer right after Golden God for near-instant max levels
Magic passively through alching and combat

These skills feed into each other and unlock more grid tiles without wasting time on low-value grinds.

Early Boss Order

After setup, go for:

Scurrius, for boosted drops and easy mastery XP
Bryophyta, to complete the F2P column and boost total level XP multipliers
Hueycoatl, once your combat and Prayer are high enough

Each boss clears a major task and grants massive XP or relic progress.

Final Blurb

Your first few hours in Grid Master decide everything. Rushing Lumberjack, Power Miner, and Golden God sets up a fast path toward endgame relics, combat masteries, and near-limitless gold. Play smart, follow the task chain, and the rest of the board opens up faster than you’d think.
