how to get free xp from tears of guthix
Quick Scoop
Tears of Guthix gives weekly free XP in your lowest skill after you complete the quest of the same name. You talk to Juna in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves, collect blue tears for a short timer, and the reward goes into your lowest-levelled skill when the run ends.
How to unlock it
- Complete the Tears of Guthix quest first.
- Return once per week; you also need to have gained at least 1 quest point or 100,000 total XP since your last run.
- If you have not played before, the first-time access rule is simply the quest completion requirement.
How to get the XP
- Go to Juna in the cave under Lumbridge Swamp.
- Talk to her and start the minigame.
- Click the blue tears as they appear, and avoid the green ones because they are worse for XP.
- When the timer ends, the tears you collected are converted into XP for your lowest skill.
Best way to maximize it
- Bring a light source for the cave.
- If you have the requirements, the ornate bowl improves rewards and is made with 80 Mining and 80 Crafting.
- Higher quest points give you more time in the cave, so having a bigger quest-point total helps.
- Community guides also suggest aiming for worlds with better blue-tear patterns to collect more efficiently.
What to expect
The reward is not huge compared with long training grinds, but it is one of the easiest ways to get low-effort weekly XP in a weak skill. For players with high quest points and an ornate bowl, the payoff is noticeably better than a basic run.
TL;DR
Do the quest, wait a week between runs, enter Juna’s cave, collect blue tears, and the XP goes into your lowest skill.
