OSRS Looting Branda the Fire Queen Simple Gold Making Strategies

Alright, let’s talk about raking in some sweet Gold Pieces (GP) by taking on Branda the Fire Queen in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). I’ve been grinding bosses like her for years, and trust me, her loot table is a gold mine if you know what you’re doing. Whether you’re a mid-level player saving up for that dream gear or an Ironman chasing those juicy drops, Branda’s fight is fun and profitable. Why pick her? She’s got reliable loot, the fight’s not too crazy, and you can make millions per hour with a solid setup. Let’s break down how to farm Branda and stack that GP in 2025!

What Makes Branda Worth Farming?

Branda, one of the Royal Titans alongside Eldric the Ice King, is a boss made for players with 70-90+ combat stats. You’ll find her in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon, where her fight mixes Gear Switching with some straightforward mechanics. So, why’s she a great choice for gold? Here’s the scoop:

• Solid Drops: Her average loot is around 114k GP per kill (solo), with stuff like coal, gold ore, and herbs that sell fast on the Grand Exchange (GE).
• Big-Ticket Uniques: She drops the Fire Element Staff Crown and Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll, which can mean serious cash if RNG blesses you.
• Solo or Duo: Duo is faster, but solo works too, so you can farm her however you play.
• Easy Entry: No insane requirements, just decent combat stats and some basic gear switches.

How much can you make? In a duo, with about 48 kills per hour, you’re looking at 1.5-2M GP per hour after supplies. That’s pretty sweet for mid-level players!

Getting to Branda: Where and What to Bring

First things first, you gotta know how to reach Branda and what to pack. She’s chilling in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon. Here’s how to get there:

• Main Path: Enter the dungeon, jog north past some pirates and muggers, then swing west to her boss room.
• Agility Shortcut: Got 60 Agility? There’s a tunnel shortcut west of the dungeon ladder to save time.
• Giantsoul Amulet: If you’ve snagged this rare drop from Branda or Eldric, it teleports you right outside her room. Costs big bones and law runes (~364 GP per trip).
• Fairy Ring: Use code AIQ, then hoof it northwest to the dungeon.

Stats and Gear You’ll Need

You’ll want at least 70 Attack, Strength, Ranged, and Magic to take her on comfortably. Higher stats (80-90+) make it way smoother. Here’s a gear guide for different budgets:

Gear Slot	Budget Gear	Mid-Tier Gear	High-End Gear
Head	Rune Full Helm	Fighter Hat	Helm of Neitiznot
Body	Rune Platebody	Obsidian Platebody	Bandos Chestplate
Legs	Rune Platelegs	Obsidian Platelegs	Bandos Tassets
Weapon	Dragon Scimitar	Abyssal Whip	Blade of Saeldor
Shield	Rune Kiteshield	Dragon Defender	Dragon Defender
Ranged	Magic Shortbow	Rune Crossbow	Armadyl Crossbow
Magic	Air Battlestaff	Mystic Air Staff	Twinflame Staff
Amulet	Amulet of Strength	Amulet of Glory	Amulet of Fury
Ring	Ring of Wealth	Ring of Wealth	Berserker Ring (i)

Inventory:

• Food: Pack 10-15 sharks or manta rays for healing.
• Potions: 2-3 prayer potions, 1 super combat potion, 1 ranging potion.
• Runes: Fire and water runes for Fire Blast and Water Blast to deal with elementals and barriers.
• Teleport: House teleport, fairy ring staff, or Pest Control teleport for quick banking.
• Optional: Rune pouch for extra rune space, looting bag for more loot.

Why bother with the Twinflame Staff? It swaps between fire and water spells automatically, making elemental kills a walk in the park. It’s a rare drop, but if you get it, hold onto it!

Branda’s Fight: Keep It Chill

Branda’s fight is all about juggling her and Eldric while switching combat styles. Here’s what you’re up against:

• Melee Phase: Both Titans start up close, so smack ‘em with your melee weapon. They take extra damage from Crush, but any strong weapon works.
• Ranged Phase: When they back off, they get a 500% Ranged accuracy boost. Switch to your bow or crossbow to hit hard.
• Elementals: After 100 damage, they spawn three elementals (fire for Branda, ice for Eldric). Use Water Blast for fire elementals and Fire Blast for ice to avoid 8-10 damage explosions.
• Barriers: Branda throws up fire walls, Eldric drops icicles. Stand on their spawn tile to stop them or blast with the opposite element spell.
• Stomp Attack: A 3×5 AoE melee hit that can smack you for 26 damage. Flick Protect from Melee to block it.
• Elemental Blast: In phase two, they blast the arena three times, hitting up to 30 damage each. Find the safe tile and stand there.

Big Tip: Keep Branda and Eldric’s health within 30% of each other. If one dies and the other’s still up for 30 seconds, the dead one revives at 50% health, which is a pain.

Solo or Duo? What’s Better?

• Solo: It’s tougher, but you can do it. You’re handling both Titans, switching between melee, ranged, and magic. Bring extra food (15-20 sharks) and expect 10-15 kills per hour with budget gear.
• Duo: This is the money-maker. One player focuses on Branda (melee-heavy), the other on Eldric (ranged/magic). Work together to kill elementals fast and keep damage balanced. You can hit 48 kills per hour with a good buddy.

Why duo? It’s quicker, uses less food, and loot splits based on damage, so it’s fair.

Branda’s Loot: The Real GP

Here’s where the gold flows. Branda’s average kill is worth 114k GP (solo), but smart choices boost your profits. Check out her loot table:

• Common Drops:
  • Coal: 50-100 (noted), ~150 GP each.
  • Gold Ore: 20-40 (noted), ~225 GP each.
  • Runes: Piles of fire, chaos, and death runes.
  • Herbs: 47.4% chance for ranarr, toadflax, or other herbs.
  • Seeds: 11.4% chance for snapdragon or ranarr seeds.
• Unique Drops:
  • Fire Element Staff Crown: Combine with Eldric’s ice crown and a battlestaff for the Twinflame Staff (~21M GP).
  • Mystic Vigour Prayer Scroll: Unlocks Mystic Vigour prayer (63 Prayer), great for mages.
  • Giantsoul Amulet: Untradeable, but saves time with teleports.
• Tertiary Drops:
  • Hard Clue Scroll: 1/25 rate (1/23 with hard Combat Achievements).
  • Elite Clue Scroll: 1/100 rate (1/95 with elite Combat Achievements).
  • Bran (Pet): 1/3000 rate, doubled with Sacrifice.

Loot Choices

After the kill, you’ve got 18 seconds to pick:

• Loot: Two rolls on the drop table for standard and unique items. Best for GP.
• Take Pages: Get 10-18 Desiccated Pages (average 14.5). Turn them into Burnt Pages (49,952 GP), Soaked Pages (39,788 GP), or Soiled Pages (7,975 GP). Burnt pages are the cash cow.
• Sacrifice: Skip loot for double pet chance. Only do this if you’re after Bran.

Quick Numbers: At 48 kills/hour (duo), you’re pulling in ~5.5M GP/hour raw. Subtract ~20k per kill for supplies (960k/hour), and you’re left with 4.5M GP/hour. Solo players can expect 1.5-2M GP/hour with some practice.

How to Maximize Your GP

Here’s my go-to strategies for making bank with Branda:

1. Team Up: Grab a friend for duo runs to hit 48 kills/hour. Use the Join a Fight option by right-clicking the cave entrance. Loot splits by damage, so everyone wins.
2. Bank Smart: With low stats, you’ll get 10-15 kills per trip. Use House Teleport or Giantsoul Amulet to restock fast.
3. Sell High: Check GE prices for coal, gold ore, and herbs daily. Prices swing, so sell when they’re up.
4. Go for Burnt Pages: If you get desiccated pages, make them Burnt Pages for max GP (~3,610 GP each).
5. Upgrade Gear: Start cheap, but use profits to grab mid-tier or high-end gear for faster kills.
6. Combat Achievements: Unlock hard and elite tiers for better clue scroll rates (1/23 hard, 1/95 elite). Clues can mean big bucks.
7. Dodge Elemental Damage: Kill elementals quick with Twinflame Staff or Fire/Water Blast to save food.

Ironman Tip: Sell tradeable drops like the Fire Element Staff Crown for GP to fund other grinds.

Don’t Mess These Up

New to Branda? Avoid these rookie mistakes:

• Ignoring Elementals: If they explode, you’re eating 8-10 damage. Kill them fast with magic.
• Unbalanced Health: Let Branda die too early, and Eldric revives her at 50% health. Keep their HP close.
• Missing Loot: You’ve got 18 seconds to pick your loot option. Don’t space out!
• Skipping Switches: You need melee, ranged, and magic. Don’t half-ass it, or the fight drags.
• Not Banking: A full inventory slows you down. Bank after 10-15 kills with low stats.

Is Branda a Good Grind?

So, is Branda worth your time? Heck yeah. She’s not topping Nex or Vorkath for GP, but 1.5-2M GP/hour is awesome for mid-level players. The fight’s fun, the mechanics aren’t brutal, and the loot’s steady. Plus, chasing uniques like the Twinflame Staff or Mystic Vigour Scroll keeps things spicy. Compared to boring methods like tanning hides, Branda’s a blast and builds your PvM skills.

What’s the downside? Supplies cost ~20k per kill, and gear switching takes practice. But once you nail the rhythm, the GP stacks up fast.

Wrapping It Up

Farming Branda the Fire Queen is a killer way to make GP in OSRS in 2025. With the right gear, a duo partner, and some practice, you’re banking millions while having a good time. Focus on Gear Switching, pick Burnt Pages for extra cash, and sell loot when GE prices are hot. My favorite drop? Gotta be the Fire Element Staff Crown it’s a fat stack of GP and a step toward that sweet Twinflame Staff. What’s your favorite gold-making grind? Hit up r/2007scape on Reddit and share your strats!
