OSRS TCG minigame items
What to take into an Old School RuneScape minigame, grouped by what each item is for rather than dumped in one list — so you can see at a glance what you need to start and what is an improvement on it. Every item is mapped to its OSRS TCG card. The OSRS Wiki remains the guide to playing them.
Minigames are added by hand, a page at a time: unlike quests, the wiki has no machine-readable list of what a minigame needs, and scraping it produces recommended gear rather than requirements.
Arceuus Library
MembersA book-finding activity rather than a fight: the library's three researchers each ask for a specific text hidden somewhere in the shelves, and delivering it earns a Book of arcane knowledge that trains Magic or Runecraft. The books move between worlds and reshuffle every hour or so.

CombatMembersA combat run rather than a set-up job: dig into six burial mounds, kill the Barrows brother in each, then fight down through the tunnels beneath to loot the chest at the centre. The more of the crypt you clear — brothers especially — the better the chest rewards.

Combat 40MembersA co-op combat minigame: five to twenty-five players defend a Void Knight from waves of pests pouring out of four portals. You win by destroying all four portals — or by keeping the Knight alive for the full twenty minutes — and are paid in commendation points to spend on Void Knight equipment.

Firemaking 50MembersA Firemaking group activity you never actually attack. Players cut bruma roots, burn them in braziers to channel the pyromancers' flames, and keep those braziers lit and repaired while the cold whittles everyone down.

About these pages
- What do these minigame pages tell me?
- What to take into an Old School RuneScape minigame, grouped by what each item is for rather than as one flat list, with every item linked to its OSRS TCG card. They are not strategy guides — the OSRS Wiki owns that, and every page links to it.
- Which minigames are covered so far?
- Arceuus Library, Barrows, Pest Control and Wintertodt. More are added a page at a time.
- Why are minigames added by hand rather than pulled from the wiki?
- Because the wiki has no machine-readable list of what a minigame needs. Of the 49 pages in its minigames category only 8 carry an item or equipment section, and those list recommended combat gear rather than what you need to take part — the infobox requirements field holds skills and quests, never items. Scraping it would invent requirements rather than report them.
- What do 'requires' and 'any of' mean here?
- Requires means you need that item. Any of means a choice — Wintertodt needs a tinderbox or a bruma torch, and either will do. That is the whole vocabulary, so a page can be read at a glance.
