OSRS Gauntlet Calculator
Your chance of every crystal seed and Youngllef in the Gauntlet and Corrupted Gauntlet, the runs to full crystal armour or an enhanced seed, and what a run is worth.
A run you do not finish gives a small consolation chest and no chance of a seed.
A full set is 6: helm 1, legs 2, body 3.
One makes a Bow of Faerdhinen or a Blade of Saeldor.

A finished run rolls the chest's main table twice, or three times in the Corrupted Gauntlet. Each seed and Youngllef are rolled on their own, so one chest can hold more than one. A run you do not finish gives one roll on the consolation table if you earned 50 points by crafting, cooking and killing, and no seed. Loot is priced at what it sells for right now, after the 2% tax. Crystal shards cannot be traded, so each is worth what 2.5 divine super combat potions sell for less the super combat potions they are made from, which needs 97 Herblore. Youngllef, elite clues and the Gauntlet cape are counted, not priced. Minutes a run default to 10 in the Corrupted Gauntlet and about 8.6 in the Gauntlet (6 and 7 an hour). The Hunllef's max hit is published for armour tier sums of 0, 3, 6 and 9; any other sum is shown at the step below it and marked ~. Figures checked against the OSRS Wiki on 25 October 2026. In Deadman Mode the three seeds drop twice as often (three times with a charged trinket of fortuity), and an accumulation charm triples the elite clue chance. Deadman Mode has a Grand Exchange of its own with no tax, so its loot is shown at main game prices without the tax and marked with a ~, as are the rates no one has published.
How the Gauntlet's chest pays
Kill the Crystalline Hunllef and the reward chest gives 5 to 9 crystal shards and two rolls on its main table. Kill the Corrupted Hunllef and it gives 7 to 12 shards, three rolls on a better table and a Gauntlet cape if you do not have one. Every finished run also rolls once for each seed and for Youngllef, at far better odds in the Corrupted Gauntlet.
| Unique | Regular | Corrupted |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal armour seed | 1/120 | 1/50 |
| Crystal weapon seed | 1/120 | 1/50 |
| Enhanced crystal weapon seed | 1/2,000 | 1/400 |
| Youngllef | 1/2,000 | 1/800 |
| Elite clue scroll | 1/25 | 1/20 |
| Crystal shards | 5–9 | 7–12 |
Every row of the main table
Each roll lands on one of 24 rows, each 1 in 24. In the Corrupted Gauntlet the dragon halberd is 1 in 48 and coins 1 in 16, and every quantity is larger. The weapons, armour and gems come noted.

When the Hunllef wins
A run that ends without a kill gives no seed and no kill count. If you earned 50 points or more, the chest rolls once on the table below; from 1 to 49 points you get an Iwan's flyer, a potion or a rotten tomato, and with no points the chest is empty. Points come from killing monsters (2 for a weak one, 5 for a strong one, 10 for a demi-boss), crafting a basic item (2), upgrading to attuned (5) or perfected (10), preparing a crystal paddlefish (2) and cooking a paddlefish (1). Leaving through the teleport platform gives nothing.

What each piece of prep costs
Every weapon starts from a weapon frame. Attuning one takes 50 shards and perfecting it takes the spike, orb or bowstring a demi-boss drops. Armour takes shards plus crystal ore, phren bark and linum tirinum at each step. These are the costs since 22 July 2026; tier 1, 2 and 3 armour with two perfected weapons come to 250, 450 and 750 shards.

Gauntlet questions
How many seeds is a full set of crystal armour? Six: one for the helm, two for the legs and three for the body, with 50 shards a seed to sing them. A Bow of Faerdhinen or a Blade of Saeldor takes one enhanced crystal weapon seed and 100 shards. The crystal shard calculator adds up the shards, seeds and coins for any crystal item, with corruption, and compares the Gauntlet with every other way to get shards.
Is the Corrupted Gauntlet always better? For seeds, yes, by a wide margin: an enhanced seed is 1 in 400 a run against 1 in 2,000. The side by side table above shows what that means in hours at your own pace.
What would 500 runs actually give? The averages here are exact, but a real grind is lumpier. The CG loot simulator opens the chest run by run at these rates, so you can watch a dry streak or a lucky early enhanced seed play out, with your collection log filling in.
How do the pet odds compare? Youngllef is 1 in 800 from the Corrupted Gauntlet. The pet calculator sets it beside every other pet, and the dry calculator has every other boss's drop table.
What changes in Deadman Mode? On the permanent Deadman world each combat bracket doubles the chance of the crystal armour seed, crystal weapon seed and enhanced crystal weapon seed in both modes; a charged trinket of fortuity adds one more time the normal rate. The Gauntlet's creatures drop nothing from Deadman's supply table, and an accumulation charm in your inventory triples the elite clue chance. Pick Deadman Mode under "Where you play" to count them.
Does the Gauntlet remove a skull? Going into the Gauntlet clears a PK skull, unless you are wearing an amulet of avarice: then the skull stays. The skull timer times a skull and lists every other way to lose one.
