OSRS Shipwreck Salvaging AHK Bot 2025

Is this safe to use?

As just an overlay, this plugin is safe to use! This is a developer build of Runelite with a few custom plugins added in. It has been confirmed that developer builds will always be safe to use, otherwise no one could make new plugins!

However all forms of automation carry a risk of getting banned, please read the botting guide for tips on how to avoid bans.

Experience Rates

Shipwreck salvaging is a low-intensity AFK training method. Experience rates vary by shipwreck type and setup:

Level Shipwreck Type XP/Hour (AFK)
15 Small Shipwrecks 2K+
26 Fisherman Shipwrecks 5K+
35 Barracuda Shipwrecks 13K+

Loot

Salvage collected from shipwrecks can be sorted at a salvaging station (found at most ports or built on your boat) to receive:

  • Various planks (Larch, Shayzien Pine, Cedar, Rosewood) for shipbuilding
  • Seeds (Hemp, Flax, Cotton, Camphor)
  • Rare items (Rusty locket, Boat bottles, Broken compass, etc.)
  • Rarely: Relics that can be turned in to Varrock Museum for kudos
  • Schematics for advanced facilities and equipment

Sorting salvage awards half the original salvaging experience and takes 50.4 seconds per inventory.

Location

Shipwrecks spawn across various oceans. At each shipwreck site, 2-3 shipwrecks are available at any given time. Once salvaging begins on a shipwreck, a despawn timer starts - when it ends, that specific shipwreck will no longer be salvageable until it respawns.

Note: Some shipwrecks may be located in “hazardous waters” - ensure your ship meets the requirements (e.g., Barracuda shipwrecks require at least an oak mast to handle the Storm Tempor).
