OSRS Gridmaster What to Alch Guide | Best Items to High Alch

Old School RuneScape (OSRS)

Alching is one of the fastest ways to turn Golden God’s infinite gold into real Magic XP in Grid Master. Once you’ve got the relic, the only question left is what to buy and where to start stacking XP.

How to Unlock Golden God for Infinite Gold

Golden God comes from the valuables task in Varlamore. You’ll need 50 Thieving, but you can reach that in minutes thanks to boosted XP rates.

Start with a clean route that gives you consistent early gold:

  • Pickpocket men to 5

  • Steal cakes until 25

  • Work fruit stalls to 38

  • Train on H.A.M. members or Master Farmers to 50

    • Shoutout to r/turtlelord for this specific method

Unlock the Stronghold teleport perk for fast travel. Then head to Varlamore, pickpocket a house key from wealthy citizens, and loot a valuables chest. That unlocks Golden God. From then on, you’ll passively generate gold while training or alching.

Where to Alch and What to Buy

Once you’ve got Golden God running, teleport using fairy ring AJP and run east to the mining area. You’ll find Metla, the main vendor for high-value items.

Start small, scale fast.

  • Buy steel or mithril platelegs first to avoid early losses

  • Upgrade to adamant and rune gear once your gold ticks rise

  • Switch to condensed gold once you can afford 3 or more safely

Condensed gold gives the biggest XP bursts but can fail if you gamble too early. Rune and addy platelegs are safer choices until your gold flow stabilizes.

How to Travel Faster Between Alchs

The Stronghold boots teleport gives Fairy Flight, which drops you right near Hosidius for fast routing to AJP. You can also unlock the Aldarin bank teleport perk for fast re-supply trips between alch runs.

If you’ve unlocked the Locus Oasis tool leprechaun, it’s slightly closer than AJP, saving time when looping back to Metla for more purchases.

How to Maximize XP Gains

Golden God makes gold AND speeds up XP too. Mix alching with other relic effects for faster levels.

  • Combine alching with Production Prodigy to clear inventories instantly

  • Use gold on altars for Prayer XP while alching for Magic XP

  • Run Construction with bagged plants between alch cycles for extra XP flow

Each alch under Golden God gives boosted XP ticks, so stacking actions multiplies your gain rate. You can easily hit 80+ Magic early on without training it directly.

Safe Profit Tips for Gridmaster Alching

You’ll hear players talk about making loads of money in the first hour, and that’s true, but only if you avoid bad RNG with condensed gold. Keep these habits to avoid going broke.

  • Always buy at least three of the same item before alching

  • Keep spare gold in case you need to restock after a bad roll

  • Check Metla’s prices before committing large stacks

  • Don’t AFK too long while alching, since gold generation keeps running

Once your relic combo grows, your gold gain becomes exponential. By the time you’ve chained Golden God with Production Prodigy, you’ll have more money than your bank can hold.

Final Blurb

Gridmaster’s alching loop is simple, fast, and broken in the best way. Golden God removes every financial limit, letting you spam high alchs for Magic XP while printing gold. Start small, scale with rune or condensed gold, and before long, you’ll be staring at billions and a maxed Magic stat.
