About OSRS Card Exchange

OSRS Card Exchange is an independent community site for players of Old School RuneScape card-collecting plugins. It publishes a browsable card catalogue, a quest and minigame reference built around which cards each one actually needs, moderated collection and level highscores, a player-to-player card marketplace, and forums. Everything on it is free to read, and most of it needs no account.

Who runs it

The site is built and operated by TSMW Development Ltd, a software consultancy registered in England and Wales (company number 17204316). The same team writes the code, compiles the datasets and moderates the boards — there is no third-party content supplier and no syndicated material anywhere on the site.

Editorial posts on the blog are written by that team and published under the site's name. Threads in the forums are written by players and carry their own names.

Where each dataset comes from

A reference site is worth what its sources are worth, so this is the full list rather than a summary. Where something is derived from somebody else's work we say so on the page that shows it, not only here.

Quest and minigame dataOur own work
210 quests and the curated minigames are compiled here, one audited file per quest, and every card mapping is checked against the catalogue before it can be published. Requirements come only from a quest's stated items and enemies — never from walkthrough prose — which is what stops a page claiming you need something you do not.
Drop tables, shop stock, spawns and monster locationsCompiled from the OSRS Wiki
Crawled from the wiki's own pages, resolved against the card catalogue so a drop source that is itself a card links to it, and cut off at a dozen rows with the wiki linked for the full list. The wiki is the authority on all of it, and every section says so.
OSRS levels, experience and boss kill countsJagex hiscores
Fetched from the official Old School RuneScape hiscores for named characters and refreshed on a schedule. We publish rankings over them; we do not produce the numbers.
Card collections and rankingsOur own work
Collections are built by play and recorded here — packs, trades and sales — and the highscores rank what those records hold. The boards are moderated: a collection can be held for review or removed.
The legacy OSRS TCG card catalogueDerived, under licence, and frozen
A snapshot of the OSRS TCG project, taken on 24 July 2026 and used under its published BSD 2-Clause License with the notice preserved. It is never refreshed automatically, every field taken from it is recorded, and every page presenting one of its facts attributes it.
Forum threads, exchange listings and trade historyWritten by players
Posted by the people who use the site. Nothing here is generated, and removal is always reversible rather than a deletion.

The full attribution and licence record for the derived catalogue — which fields came from it, and when it was taken — is on the attribution page.

How the quest and minigame pages are made

This is the part of the site that took the longest and is the hardest to find anywhere else, so it is worth describing plainly. A quest page answers one question the wiki does not: which cards does this quest actually require?

  1. Each quest's wiki page is parsed for its stated items and enemies, and every candidate is matched against the card catalogue first — so a card name can never be invented for a page.
  2. That draft is audited quest by quest into a single reviewed file, which records the required cards, the “any of these” groups, the monsters fought, a brief overview, and the required items that have no card at all.
  3. A validation step refuses to publish the bundle if any card name in it does not resolve. Nothing reaches the site unchecked.

The pages are a card mapping and a short overview, never a walkthrough: the OSRS Wiki is the authority on requirements and steps, and every quest page says so and links it.

When we get something wrong

Every quest and minigame page has a report link on it. A report goes into a queue a human works through, and an accepted one is applied by correcting the source data — never by patching the page.

Corrections also change how the next batch is compiled. When a report shows the pipeline made a bad assumption, the rule that failed is written down with the corrected quest named as the precedent, so the same class of mistake cannot come back. That is why the datasets get better rather than merely longer.

If you reported it and you have an account, you are told when it is accepted.

Independence

OSRS Card Exchange is an independently operated community website providing optional tools for players of third-party Old School RuneScape trading card game plugins and the game modes built around them. The OSRS TCG card game is the work of its creators, and full credit for it belongs to them; we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, maintained by, approved by, or officially connected with OSRS TCG, Azderi or any OSRS TCG developer, nor with RuneLite or Jagex Ltd. Compatibility with an OSRS TCG feature or data format does not indicate cooperation, partnership, authorisation, endorsement or involvement by the OSRS TCG developers. As the site grows we may integrate with further plugins and game modes on the same basis: every tool here is optional, offered for the community's reference and coordination, and the site remains independent of every plugin's developers.

The site carries advertising, which is what pays for it. Adverts are labelled, and they are never mixed into the card, quest or highscore data — no ranking, rarity or requirement on this site is influenced by an advertiser. See the Privacy Policy for what is stored, and the Terms & Conditions for the rest.
