how to have two salvaging hooks osrs
You can have two salvaging hooks on your boat in OSRS by building a Sloop , which becomes available at Sailing level 50.
Quick answer
- At level 15 Sailing , you unlock salvaging and can add one salvaging hook to your boat.
- At level 50 Sailing , you can buy a Sloop from any shipwright; the Sloop has two salvaging hook slots instead of one.
- Once you have the Sloop, you install two salvaging hooks (one in each slot) using saw + hammer at the shipyard.
How to set it up step by step
- Reach Sailing level 50
- Train by salvaging early shipwrecks (small → fisherman → barracuda → large) and upgrading your hook as you go.
- Buy a Sloop
- Go to any shipwright and purchase a Sloop once you hit level 50.
- Install two salvaging hooks
- At the shipyard, use a saw and hammer to customize your Sloop.
- Add a salvaging hook in each of the two front white spots (one for you, one for a crewmate).
- Recruit a crewmate
- At level 50 you can recruit Jobless Jim from Port Sarim to operate the second hook.
* At **level 55** , you can recruit a second crewmate (e.g., Captain Sayyad/Captain Sciad) to steer while both you and Jim salvage.
Why use two hooks?
- Higher XP per hour : Even though crew XP is reduced, two active hooks still outperform a single hook significantly.
- More AFK potential : With two crewmates at level 55, you can let them both salvage while you sort loot at the Salvaging Station (unlocked at level 42), giving up to ~30 minutes of near-fully AFK time.
Extra tips
- Build the Salvaging Station at level 42 so you can clean salvages on the boat instead of returning to port.
- Use Whirlpool Surprise (+3 Sailing boost) from Pandemonium to salvage wrecks slightly above your level.
- For very efficient training, consider 1.5-tick / 2-tick salvaging once you’re on large shipwrecks (level 53+), which can double your rolls and massively boost XP.
