How to Hire Someone for OSRS Questing — Bils Services OSRS guide

The short version

30-second read
  • Login details belong on a private ticket. A good provider asks for them only after payment, never in an order form or public chat.
  • Walk away from any ban-safety promise. Look instead for hand-played work in the terms and a visible price for each quest.
  • Dragon Slayer II needs 200 quest points to start. It also needs Legends' Quest, Dream Mentor and five other quests, so order the chain with it.
  • Change your password before and after. Send the login only after that first change, and treat the final change as part of the order.
01

What You Are Hiring For

Hiring someone for OSRS questing comes down to two jobs. Pick a provider that will play the account properly, then give them a brief that leaves nothing for them to guess.

The brief matters more for quests than for skilling, because quest rewards are permanent. Dragon Slayer I hands out 18,650 Strength XP and 18,650 Defence XP on completion, which ends a 1 Defence pure. Desert Treasure II gives three 100,000 XP lamps for Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Ranged, Magic or Prayer, usable on a skill at level 60 or higher. If you do not say where that XP goes, someone else decides.

How to Choose a Questing Service

Most providers look alike on the front page. These checks separate them, and you can do all of them before paying anything.

Table 1What to check before you hire7 rows
CheckWhat a good answer looks like
How the work is doneBy hand, stated in the terms. No bots, scripts or macros
Price before commitmentEach quest has a visible price before you start an order
Ironman handlingSeparate ironman pricing, because an iron has to gather its own quest items
RequirementsYour stats and quest log are checked before payment is taken
Login detailsAsked for after payment, on a private ticket. Never in an order form or a public chat
Written recordA ticket that holds the agreed scope and the progress updates
TermsWritten cancellation terms, and a plain statement of what they do not cover

Mistakes That Stall a Quest Order

  • Ordering a grandmaster without its chain. Dragon Slayer II needs 200 quest points just to start, plus Legends' Quest, Dream Mentor and five other quests
  • Ordering from the normal list for an ironman. The ironman price covers gathering the quest items on the account
  • Buying quests in a random order. List the unlocks you want first, such as Barrows gloves, Prifddinas or a diary tier, and order the quests that lead to them
  • Handing over a story you wanted to play. Song of the Elves ends a chain that runs back through Regicide, Underground Pass and both parts of Mourning's End, so decide on it on purpose
  • Leaving reward choices out of the brief. A lamp used on the wrong skill cannot be undone
05

Password and Bank PIN

  • Change your password before you send the login details, which go on the ticket after payment, and change it again at the end
  • Change your bank PIN if the team asks, and check it when the order is done

Account sharing is against Jagex's rules whatever the provider does, so treat the password change at the end as part of the order.

Hiring BILS for Questing

Our quest list splits normal and ironman lines and shows each quest's price. Start Order opens a ticket without charging anything, the team reads your brief and screenshots there, confirms the requirements, and only then takes payment. Every order is played by hand.

FAQ

What should I tell a quester before they start?

Your account type, a quest journal and stats screenshot, any XP you cannot accept, where lamps go, items to leave alone, your deadline and when you plan to log in.

How do I know an OSRS questing service is legit?

Look for hand-played work in the terms, visible per-quest prices, a requirements check before payment, and login details asked for only after payment on a private ticket. Walk away from anyone who promises ban safety.

Do I have to give my password to a questing service?

Yes, quests are played by logging in. Send it on your ticket after payment, never in a public chat, and change it again when the order ends.

Should beginners outsource all quests?

Usually no. Early quests are short, they are the cheapest lines on any quest list, and they teach you the map. Outsource the long chains once you know what they unlock.

Is hiring for ironman questing different?

Yes. The quester has to gather every quest item on the account, so order from the ironman list and add a bank screenshot to the brief.

08 · Bottom line

Bottom Line

Choose a provider by checking how they work before you pay: hand-played, priced per quest, ironman-aware, and asking for login details only after payment on a ticket.

Then write the brief. Account type, two screenshots, XP limits, lamp choices and items to keep cover almost everything that can go wrong on a quest order.
