OSRS Sailing Tears of Guthix | Can You Get XP from TOG?

If you tried to train Sailing using Tears of Guthix and got nothing, that’s not a bug. Jagex blocked XP from Tears, lamps, and other stored rewards for now.
Sailing XP from Tears of Guthix
You currently can’t get Sailing XP from Tears of Guthix. It’s disabled for the first part of the launch. This includes any XP lamps or rewards that normally go into your lowest skill. Even frog tokens and digsite lamps won’t give Sailing XP until Jagex re-enables it.
Why XP Is Disabled
The reason is to stop players from hoarding hundreds of XP lamps before the skill came out. Jagex wants everyone to start fresh and experience the new content fairly. Letting people dump saved rewards into the skill on day one would have skipped the early grind completely.
This same rule was used when new skills launched in RuneScape 3, so it isn’t new. The block usually lasts for a few months while the team collects data and balances the XP rates.
When It Might Return
There’s no set date, but it likely won’t be soon. The XP lockout will probably stay until Sailing’s systems are stable and early bugs are fixed, and they’ve said they’re also wanting to implement Blarbs prior as well. Jagex usually waits around half a year before turning Tears and lamps back on for new skills.
Until then, you’ll need to train the normal way by sailing, salvaging, and upgrading your ship. It’s slower, but it’s how the game was meant to be played right now.
Final Blurb
Sailing XP can’t be earned from Tears of Guthix yet, but it’s only temporary. Once the post-launch phase settles, it’ll be added to the list of valid skills again. For now, grab your crew, fix your sails, and earn that XP on the open sea.
