OSRS Tears of Guthix Calculator

Which skill Tears of Guthix gives experience in

The tears always go into the skill with the least experience. Runecraft only counts once Rune Mysteries is done, Herblore once Druidic Ritual is done, Sailing once Pandemonium is done and Construction once you own a house. When two skills have exactly the same experience, the first in this list gets it: Attack, Strength, Ranged, Magic, Defence, Hitpoints, Prayer, Agility, Herblore, Thieving, Crafting, Runecraft, Mining, Smithing, Fishing, Cooking, Firemaking, Woodcutting, Fletching, Slayer, Farming, Construction, Hunter and Sailing. Experience decides it, not level, so a skill one point lower than another on the same level is the one picked. Sailing joined the list on 3 December 2025.

Experience a tear

Each tear gives 10 experience plus a tenth of a point for every 27 experience the skill already has, up to 60. A tear is worth 60 from 13,500 experience, a little into level 30, and every tear in a visit is paid at the experience the skill has when you drink them. The hard Lumbridge & Draynor Diary adds 10% to the whole visit.

Time, tears and worlds

You get one game tick, 0.6 seconds, in the cave for every quest point, so 349 quest points give 209.4 seconds. Nine weeping walls run three blue streams and three green ones at a time. Each stream stays 16 ticks and then moves to an empty wall, in a fixed order every world keeps. Blue tears fill your bowl and green ones take tears away. The most a visit can hold is one tear a tick after the first four, 345 tears with every quest, and the realistic best is about 292.

The best worlds change their streams in the order green, green, green, blue, blue, blue. On those, all three green streams have moved on before a blue one ends, so you never catch green tears by accident. Start on the first blue stream to change: there is then a 5 in 9 chance another blue stream lands on your wall, and if the second does, a 1 in 3 chance the third lands there too, for 48 ticks in one place. Steady play anywhere else is worked out from the diary's advice that about 150 quest points bring 100 tears, and is marked ~.

When you can go back

Juna lets you in once every seven days, and only once you have gained 100,000 experience or a quest point since your last visit. Your first visit needs neither. The week resets at 00:00 UTC on the seventh day after your last visit, and the Tears of Guthix entry in your quest journal counts the days down. Talk to Juna to turn on a message that tells you when you can go again.

Getting in and what else is there

The Tears of Guthix quest needs 43 quest points to start and 49 Firemaking, 20 Crafting and 20 Mining, all boostable, and gives 1,000 Crafting experience and 1 quest point. Juna gives you a stone bowl that needs both hands free. She also turns a staff of the dead into a staff of balance when you bring a Guthixian icon. The light creatures carry you over the chasm with a lit sapphire lantern, and after While Guthix Sleeps, which needs this quest, down to the Ancient Guthixian Temple, where the Stone of Jas rests, and The Fractured Archive. The hard Lumbridge & Draynor Diary needs the quest and asks for 100 tears in one visit. During Death to the Dorgeshuun you collect 20 tears to bring Zanik back, which gives no experience and does not use your week. A master clue asks you to show Juna three Guthix items.

Deadman, ironmen and Hardcore Worlds

On the permanent Deadman world, the tears are multiplied like all experience there: 20 times at level 1 down to 10 times from level 50 while you have protection, and 10 times down to 5 without it, falling evenly between those levels, marked ~. Sailing is switched off there, so the tears never pick it. If you switch off combat or Hitpoints experience with Nigel or a Deadman chest, the tears still go to the skill with the least experience, so a switched-off skill that is lowest gains nothing week after week. Ironmen, group ironmen and Hardcore Worlds get the same tears as everyone else. Dying lets you try a visit again before the experience is paid, which on a hardcore account or a Hardcore World costs you that life.
