Grinding the Champion’s Cape in Old School RuneScape is one of the more niche but satisfying collection log pursuits. It’s not mechanically difficult, but it demands persistence and smart routing, and while some players may choose to buy OSRS gold to speed up gear progression, efficiency ultimately comes down to method selection. This guide breaks down the most optimized approaches-macroefficient, zero-time, and active-to obtain all ten Champion scrolls and complete the challenge with minimal wasted effort.

Understanding the Mechanics

Each of the ten required NPCs has a 1/5,000 drop rate for its Champion scroll. Once obtained, the scroll allows you to fight a Champion variant in the Champions’ Guild basement. These fights are straightforward for mid-level players (50+ combat), each with simple combat-style restrictions. Importantly, once you defeat a Champion, you cannot receive duplicate scrolls for that NPC.

After completing all ten fights, you unlock a final boss encounter. Defeating it grants access to the Champion’s Cape, completing the collection log section.

Efficient Scroll Grinding Methods

1. Earth Warrior Champion Scroll

This is a purely active grind in the Wilderness. Use low-risk (“rag”) gear and consider a cannon for maximum kills per hour. Melee AFK setups work, but ranged with higher DPS weapons will speed things up. Always factor in PK risk—efficiency drops quickly if you’re constantly interrupted.

2. Ghoul Champion Scroll

This is where zero-time methods shine. Set up a cannon near Canifis and return periodically while doing other content like clue scrolls. With combat achievements increasing cannon capacity, you can sustain passive kills efficiently.

For active grinding, use ranged gear (blowpipe or bowfa) plus a bonecrusher necklace to sustain prayer. Ghouls are non-aggressive, so expect slightly slower pacing unless actively managed.

3. Giant Champion Scroll

Highly macroefficient if paired with Obor and Bryophyta farming. You’ll naturally accumulate kills while gathering keys and essence for other content.

If focusing purely on the scroll, the Catacombs of Kourend offer dense spawns, totem drops, and solid kill rates when combined with a cannon.

4. Goblin Champion Scroll

One of the fastest scrolls to obtain. Passive grinding through Bandos is viable since goblins contribute to kill count.

For active grinding, Lumbridge outskirts provide 2,000+ kills/hour using cannon + blowpipe. Due to their low HP, even basic darts are highly effective.

5. Hobgoblin Champion Scroll

Skip inefficient passive methods like revenants unless you specifically need GP. Instead, use a cannon and ranged setup near Hosidius (safe alternative to Wilderness). Expect around 1,500 kills/hour.

6. Imp Champion Scroll

Surprisingly complex with multiple strategies:

· Zero-time: Cannon placement near Tower of Life or shooting stars.

· Macroefficient: ZMI altar access or Zamorak minion kills.

· Active: Teleport between two locations (e.g., monastery and Hosidius) while using a cannon and ranged weapon.

Bowfa is preferred for range coverage, though blowpipe remains competitive.

7. Jogre Champion Scroll

No shortcuts here—this is a pure active grind. Head to the Karamja dungeon, place a cannon, and maximize multi-combat efficiency. Medium clue drops provide minor side value.

8. Lesser Demon Champion Scroll

Technically obtainable passively via Zamorak bossing, but not reliable. The Catacombs offer a safer AFK method with passive totem farming. Wilderness Slayer Cave is fastest but high-risk.

9. Skeleton Champion Scroll

Best zero-time method is through Calvar’ion bossing. Barrows is inefficient unless you specifically want rune rewards.

For active grinding, Wilderness skeleton spawns (south of Dark Warriors’ Fortress) provide high density. Use a cannon and ranged attacks for optimal throughput.

10. Zombie Champion Scroll

This scroll has multiple macroefficient pathways:

· Armored zombies (axe + helmet grind)

· Zombie pirates (teleport scroll farming)

· Chaos druids with Venator Bow

If you still need the scroll after these, resort to Wilderness cemetery grinding with cannon support.

Final Steps: Champion Battles

Each Champion fight has unique restrictions (e.g., no magic, ranged only). Review requirements beforehand to avoid unnecessary failures. The final boss (level 141) must be fought without inventory, but it’s manageable with solid gear and stats.

Closing Strategy

The key to this grind is layering goals. Whenever possible, combine Champion scroll hunting with other objectives-clue scrolls, bossing, or collection logs-to maximize overall efficiency. Some players may even look into cheap RS gold to ease supply costs during long sessions, but smart routing will always have the biggest impact. Reserve pure grinding only for the least flexible targets like Jogres or Earth Warriors. With patience and efficient planning, the Champion’s Cape becomes less of a grind and more of a structured progression milestone.
