OSRS Grid Master Catch a Moth Barehanded Guide
Catching a moth in Grid Master sounds like a small task, but it hides one of the biggest early XP rewards in the entire event. This single tile unlocks the Myth’s Guild, finishes Dragon Slayer II, and gives a massive combat boost through free lamps from Ellen.
How to Catch the Moth in Grid Master
You need 75 Hunter to catch the Sunlight Moth near the Hunter Guild. A Trapper’s Tipple from the guild bar gives a +3 boost, so 73 Hunter is enough if you drink it first. Some players also reach 73 quickly by combining the museum quiz with early XP lamps.
Find the glowing moth north of the guild and catch it barehanded. The moment you do, the tile completes and Dragon Slayer II finishes automatically. That unlocks the Myth’s Guild, which is where the real reward begins.
Claiming XP from Ellen
Go inside the Myth’s Guild and talk to Ellen after completing the task. She gives four 25,000 XP lamps that can be used on any combat skill. That’s 100,000 base XP before Gridmaster multipliers, making this one of the biggest free boosts available.
You can use these on melee stats to reach boss-ready levels instantly, or drop them into Magic or Ranged to unlock stronger relic setups earlier.
Quick Tips Before Catching the Moth
Bring a Hunter potion or beer if you’re under level 75. The boost stacks with lamps and saves time grinding Hunter directly. Use a teleport to reach the guild quickly since the moth moves around the tree line and can be hard to click from a distance.
Catching it takes only a few seconds once you’re in range, and you don’t need any gear or traps.
Why This Task is Important
Completing the moth tile doesn’t just give XP. It unlocks the Myth’s Guild, finishes Dragon Slayer II, and connects to later tiles like the Ring of Shadows and other combat rewards. The XP payout alone can jumpstart your combat grid before tougher challenges appear.
Final Blurb
The Catch a Moth tile might look harmless, but it’s secretly one of the strongest early-game tasks in Grid Master. It finishes a major quest, unlocks the Myth’s Guild, and drops 100,000 free combat XP straight into your build. Do it early, talk to Ellen right after, and enjoy the instant power spike.
