HiScores
This copy was last processed on . The copied wiki revision is dated .
The HiScores is a feature of the Old School RuneScape website which ranks players by their experience in skills, score in Bounty Hunter and Last Man Standing, treasure trail completions, collections logged, and kill counts at bosses and raids. Unlike the RuneScape HiScores, there are no requirements to be shown on the HiScores other than being ranked in the top 1,000,000 in any skill or top 2,000,000 in any other category.
The board can also be separated into the different game modes, this includes the standard HiScores, Ironman mode, Ultimate Ironman mode, Hardcore Ironman, and Tournament HiScores. When a seasonal game mode is active, such as Deadman Mode or Leagues, they also have separate hiscores.
HiScores ranks the player's score first, followed by the time to reach that score, and they do not reset.
Boss Killcount was added to the HiScores on 5 December 2019. To be featured, you need to kill a boss or complete an activity at least 5 times. This is true for all bosses and activities, except for The Mimic and TzKal-Zuk, which require just 1 kill to be featured.
The Old School RuneScape HiScores can be found on the official website here.
