Updated 2026-11-08 16:44 UTC

What Hardcore Worlds are

The Hardcore Worlds share one economy and their own hiscores, apart from the main game. A death that counts ends the run: the player resets the character or transfers it out of the Hardcore Worlds. The OSRS Wiki has the full rules, the world list and which activities are safe.
