Old School RuneScape pets tier list: All OSRS pets, ranked

Like many MMOs, Old School RuneScape has a variety of pets that you can collect throughout your adventures across Gielinor.

These pets are collected through various methods. Some are earned in combat, while others are found while skilling. There are even some Old School RuneScape pets that are obtained in completely different ways, so we’re separating our Tier Lists by category as a result.

Old School RuneScape Boss Pets Tier List

As you delve deeper into the combat content that Old School RuneScape has to offer, you’ll encounter many of its bosses. These bosses are much more difficult than regular monsters, and require you to use all of your resources to bring them down and reap the rewards.

44 of these bosses have a minuscule chance of dropping a boss pet. These Old School RuneScape pets are miniature versions of their boss equivalents and are exceptionally rare to find. Some of the drop rates are as low as one in every 5,000! While they won’t aid you in combat, they’re pint-sized symbols of your in-game achievements, and are sure to impress other players.

Old School RuneScape Skilling Pets Tier List

If you’re not a combat person, don’t worry – Old School RuneScape still has a few pets you can earn. There are eight skilling pets in the game, which you obtain by training their respective OSRS skills. With these pets, the higher your level in that specific skill, the more chance you have of receiving them. Sure, you can technically get a skilling pet drop at level 1, but you’re much more likely to see them on players with 99 instead.

Like combat pets, skilling pets are purely for aesthetics. You don’t get an XP boost in any skills for having one, so you must decide which ones you like the look of the most before grinding for them. Since they have no tangible benefits, we’re ranking these OSRS pets based on how cool they look in-game.

Old School RuneScape Miscellaneous Pets Tier List

There are 13 pets in Old School RuneScape that don’t involve combat or skilling to obtain. Some are found in quests, others in minigames – the point is, they don’t fit into either of the previous categories.
