The Gauntlet — frequently asked
- What is the minimum you need for The Gauntlet?
- Nothing in particular — there is no item or level requirement. The Gauntlet supplies almost everything itself: you start wielding a crystal sceptre and gather every other resource, food and potion inside during the ten-minute preparation phase. There is no kit to pack for this one.
- Do you need a quest for The Gauntlet?
- Song of the Elves is required. Grandmaster quest that unlocks Prifddinas, where the Gauntlet is — a hard requirement. It is members-only.
- Which OSRS TCG cards are tied to The Gauntlet?
- Every item on this page that exists in the catalogue is linked to its card, grouped by what it is for. Cards are pulled from packs in the OSRS TCG RuneLite plugin, and you can trade for the ones you are missing on OSRS Card Exchange.
- Is there an OSRS TCG card for The Gauntlet itself?
- No. The OSRS TCG has cards for Old School RuneScape's items and monsters, not for its minigames — so there is no "The Gauntlet" card. What this page maps is the other way round: the items The Gauntlet asks you to bring, each one linked to the card that depicts it.
