The Easy OSRS Gold Buying Safety Checklist (2025 RWT Guide)
Old School RuneScape is awesome, but let's be real – grinding for gold takes forever. Buying OSRS gold gets you the gear and supplies you need fast, but worrying about account safety and Real World Trading (RWT) risks is totally normal.
At Tons of XP, we've done tons of trades and want to share what we know so you can buy OSRS gold safely. Jagex doesn't officially approve these trades, but following these steps seriously cuts down the risk. This checklist covers what you need to do, plus how picking a good provider like us helps.

Ignoring safety when doing RWT can get you scammed or, rarely, flagged by Jagex. Knowing what to do and being careful is your best protection. The aim is a smooth, quiet trade that gets you back in the game quickly without issues. It helps to know how scammers operate – learn how to spot and dodge OSRS gold scams.
Your OSRS Gold Buying Safety Checklist:
Stick to these simple Dos and Don'ts when buying OSRS gold:
- DO Protect Your Account:
- NEVER share your password or Bank PIN. Seriously, never. Legit sellers don't need them. If someone asks, it's a scam.
- Turn on the RuneScape Authenticator. It’s a huge security boost.
- Make sure your registered email account has a strong, unique password and 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) too.
- DO Chat Off-Game ONLY:
- Super Important: Do NOT talk about buying/selling gold, RWT, prices, or real money in the OSRS game chat. Keep all trade talk strictly on the seller’s website chat (like our 24/7 Live Support) or other designated off-game platform. Jagex monitors game chat.
- DO Trade Smart:
- Mule Account? (Optional but Good Idea): Trading gold to a separate account you don't use much first adds a safety layer. Then trade it to your main later.
- Trade in Quiet Spots: Avoid busy places like the GE or main banks on packed worlds (like W301). Pick a dead world and an out-of-the-way spot. We can help pick one in live chat.
- Keep it Simple: Trade just for the gold. Adding random junk items doesn't actually hide the trade and can even look weirder.
- DON'T Give Extra Info: Your correct RuneScape Character Name (RSN) is the only game info they need.
- DO Pick a Good Seller:
- Find sellers with a history of being reliable (like Tons of XP!). Check for professionalism – why reliability is key, not just cheap prices.
- Make sure they have good, quick customer support, like our 24/7 live chat.
- Go with sellers who talk openly about safe trading methods. It shows they know the risks and care about your safety.
