OSRS Grid Master Yama Drops Guide
Yama’s loot in Grid Master has confused nearly everyone farming him. Players keep reporting endless dossier drops and almost no uniques. Here’s how his drop table really works and what you can actually expect.
How Yama Drops Work in Grid Master
Yama always rolls on a special unique drop table. This table includes Dossiers, Forgotten Lockboxes, Horns, Shards, and Oath Plate Armor. Because Grid Master applies an 8x unique drop rate, the game ends up hitting that table almost every kill. The catch is that Dossier counts as a unique, so when you don’t land a higher-tier item, it fills the slot instead.
That’s why solos see mostly Dossiers. The kill takes longer, so you’re rolling fewer times and almost always hitting the common unique result.
How to Improve Drop Variety
You can’t disable Dossiers, but you can influence the odds. Duo or group runs increase kill speed, meaning you roll for uniques faster and more often. Each completed run still follows the same loot logic, but the faster clears raise your practical rate of rare drops.
The confirmed unique items on Yama’s table include:
Forgotten Lockbox
Horn
Oath Plate Armor
Shards
Dossier (the default roll if no other item hits)
Is Yama Loot Bugged?
No, it’s not bugged. The drop system just looks broken because of how Dossiers dominate the table. Multiple players have confirmed streaks of 25 or more in a row, which is still within expected results when Dossiers fill every missed unique roll.
Tips for Farming Yama
Run Yama in duos for faster kills and better odds at real uniques
Keep supplies light, his normal loot pool is minimal
Expect long dossier streaks even with boosted rates
If you’re going for a specific unique, plan for the grind
Final Blurb
Yama’s loot table in Gridmaster is working as designed, just tilted hard toward Dossiers because of how the unique roll functions. It’s frustrating, but not broken. If you want better luck, grab a partner, speed up the kills, and hope the table finally hits something rarer.
FAQ
Why does Yama drop so many Dossiers
The Dossier is part of his unique table and fills in whenever you miss a rarer item.
Can you get other loot from Yama
Yes, but only from the unique table. If you hit it, you can roll Lockboxes, Horns, or Oath Plate pieces.
Does killing him in a group help
Yes, duo runs speed up kills and increase the number of unique rolls you see per hour.
