- RequiresCombatNo level gate, but you're fighting four to ten gang members plus a boss per meeting, so this isn't a beginner activity in practice.
How it works
Every meeting happens at the same time across all worlds, so clearing one and world-hopping resets it for another round. Gangsters uncommonly drop Intelligence and gang bosses always do; hand it to Captain Ginea for a training manual that reads into Attack, Strength, Defence or Hitpoints experience based on your level in that skill.

- Is there an OSRS TCG card for Intelligence Gathering itself?
- No. The OSRS TCG has cards for Old School RuneScape's items and monsters, not for its minigames — so there is no "Intelligence Gathering" card. What this page maps is the other way round: the items Intelligence Gathering asks you to bring, each one linked to the card that depicts it.
