OSRS TCG Praying mantis — frequently asked
- How rare is the Praying mantis card in the OSRS TCG?
- Praying mantis is a Common card. Packs in the TCG plugin land on a Common card about 37.34% of the time. Rarity is not assigned by hand: the OSRS TCG plugin scores every card from the in-game item's value, or from a monster's combat level, and its tiers are percentile bands within a card's own group — items are ranked against items and monsters against monsters, because a boss's level and an item's price are not the same measure.
- What are the Praying mantis card's stats?
- The card carries the monster's own numbers: a combat level of 14, an attack style of Stab and a max hit of 2. The OSRS TCG scores monster cards at 1.5× their level squared, which is why a high-level boss outranks most items.
- How do I get the OSRS TCG Praying mantis card?
- Open packs in the OSRS TCG RuneLite plugin and hope for the pull, or trade for it. A Standard Pack costs 2,500 credits — earned by playing Old School RuneScape — and reveals 5 cards, each with a 1% chance by default of coming out foil. On OSRS Card Exchange you can post an exchange offering a card you have spare and asking for Praying mantis, and anyone holding one can make you an offer.
- Can I trade the Praying mantis card with another player?
- Yes. This site matches the two of you and hands over a party passphrase; the cards themselves change hands in the TCG plugin's own Trade window in game, not on the website and not through the standard in-game trade screen.
