OSRS Eclectic Impling Jars Opening Low-Competition Profit Method

Let’s talk about a money-making method in Old School RuneScape that doesn’t get enough love: Eclectic Impling Jars. Why do I rate this so high? It’s low-key, profitable, and you don’t have to elbow through crowds or dodge PKers. You’re hunting Implings, opening jars, and banking on Medium Clue Scrolls for some serious gold, like Ranger Boots worth 38.5M coins in March 2025. This guide’s gonna break down the whole deal, from catching those slippery Implings to cashing in on Clues. I’ve been at this for years, so trust me, I’ve got the scoop. Ready? Let’s dive in.

What’s the Deal with Eclectic Impling Jars?

Eclectic Implings are these little critters you catch with a Butterfly Net or bare hands, either in the Impetuous Impulses minigame or out in Gielinor. Pop them in a jar, open it, and you’ve got a shot at loot. The big prize? A 1/25 chance for a Medium Clue Scroll, which can drop rare stuff like Ranger Boots or other goodies worth big bucks. You’ll also get random bits like Mithril Pickaxes or Air Runes, but the Clues are the real money-maker.

Why bother with Eclectics? They’re not as sexy as Dragon Implings, so fewer players chase them. Less competition means you’re catching more and banking faster. Plus, you only need 50 Hunter to start, or 60 for barehanded catches, so it’s not some elite-level grind. Got a net and some jars? You’re basically set.

What You Need to Get Started

Before you start chasing Implings, let’s sort out the gear and skills. What’s the bare minimum?

Hunter Level: 50 for nets, 60 for barehanded. Higher levels make catches easier, so grind to 60+ if you can swing it.
Gear:
- Butterfly Net or Magic Butterfly Net (grab the Magic one from Elnock in Puro-Puro for a sneaky 10% catch boost).
- Impling Jars (mandatory in Puro-Puro; trade filled jars with Elnock to keep your stock up).
- Optional: Spotted or Spottier Cape for faster catches, Stamina Potions to keep you sprinting.
Puro-Puro Access: Finish “Lost City” to get to Zanaris, then use the crop circle to enter Puro-Puro. Fairy Ring code BIQ is a lifesaver if you’ve got it.
Magic (Nice-to-Have): Spells like Snare (50 Magic, Standard Spellbook) or Dark Lure (50 Magic, Arceuus Spellbook, needs “A Kingdom Divided”) can pin Implings down or pull them to you.
Clue Scroll Teleports: Amulet of Glory, Ring of Dueling, Games Necklace, Xeric’s Talisman, Digsite Pendant, or House Tabs. These make Clue-solving way faster, and that’s where the GP rolls in.

Got the basics? Cool, you’re ready. If you’re missing some teleports, don’t worry, you can still make it work, just a bit slower.

Best Spots to Hunt Eclectic Implings

You’ve got two main options for hunting: Puro-Puro or the Gielinor overworld. Which one’s better? Let’s break it down.

Puro-Puro

This is the Impling hunting hub, a wheat maze in Zanaris. Why’s it great?

Fixed Spawns: Eclectic Implings pop up in spots like the north-west corner, where they can get stuck against walls for easy grabs.
Tons of Implings: Way more spawns than in Gielinor, so you’re filling jars like crazy.
Jar Generator: Trade 3 Essence, 2 Eclectic, and 1 Nature Impling Jars to Elnock for a Jar Generator. Saves inventory space big time.
Hot Tip: Use RuneLite’s Impling Plugin to highlight Eclectics and mark spawn points. Makes it stupid easy to spot them.

Gielinor Overworld

Implings spawn randomly in places like Yanille or the Tree Gnome Stronghold. Why hunt here?

No Jars Needed: Catch barehanded and loot on the spot, though you miss out on trading jars with Elnock.
Multitasking: Mix hunting with Woodcutting or Mining for extra XP while you wait for spawns.
Catch: Spawns are random and rare, so it’s slower than Puro-Puro.

My Take: Puro-Puro’s the way to go for max catches. Camp the north-west corner, use RuneLite to mark it, and you’ll be swimming in jars. Overworld’s fine for Ironmen or if you’re skilling anyway, but it’s not the main event.

How to Catch Implings Like a Pro

Catching Eclectic Implings isn’t just point-and-click, it’s about being smart. How do you rack up the most jars per hour? Here’s my go-to plan:

Gear Up Right: Magic Butterfly Net, Spottier Cape, Stamina Pots, and 20-25 jars or a Jar Generator.
RuneLite Is Your Friend: The Impling Plugin tags Eclectics in bright colors, and the Jar Opener Plugin auto-opens jars until you hit a Clue Scroll. Saves so much time.
Stick to Spawns: In Puro-Puro, chill in the north-west corner. Mark it with RuneLite’s Tile Marker and catch Implings as they appear. Don’t chase them across the map, it’s a waste.
Bind Those Implings: Use Snare or Dark Lure to freeze or yoink Implings. Puro-Puro’s maze is a pain, and this makes it way easier.
Trade Smart: Save 9 low-tier jars (Baby or Young) to trade with Elnock for more jars or a Generator. Keeps you in the game longer.
Boost If Needed: Sip a Hunter Potion (43 Herblore) if you’re just under 60 for barehanded catches. Every extra % catch rate counts.

Sneaky Move: In Puro-Puro, right-click wheat to “push through” and make shortcuts. Talk to Elnock for Strength XP while you’re at it. You’ll catch 50-100 Implings per hour, getting you 2-4 Clue Scrolls at the 1/25 drop rate.

Cashing In: Eclectic Jar Profits

So, is opening these jars actually worth it? Heck yeah, if you do it right. Let’s crunch the numbers for March 2025:

Jar Cost: 3,048 coins each.
Common Loot: About 1,639 coins per jar (think Air Runes, Oak Planks, maybe a Diamond).
Medium Clue Scroll: 1/25 chance, averaging 182,764 coins per Clue, including rares like Ranger Boots (38.5M coins).
Total Loot Value: 8,949 coins per jar (factoring in Clues).
Profit per Jar: 8,949 – 3,048 = 5,901 coins.
Jar Breakage: 10% chance to break, so plan for ~300 coins per broken jar.

How Much Can You Make?

Your GP/H depends on how fast you solve Clues. Check this table:

Clues per Hour	Total Loot (GP)	Profit per Hour (GP)	Notes
10	1,475,496	~1.3M	Basic teleports, slower pace
15	2,213,244	~2M	Decent teleports, some shortcuts
20	2,950,992	~2.7M	All the teleports, pro-level speed

Heads-Up: Ranger Boots are 67.2% of Clue value. Without them, you’re looking at -110,114 GP/H at 20 Clues per hour. On average, it takes 12 hours to snag Boots, but some unlucky folks might need 38 hours. RNG’s a harsh mistress.

Why’s It Low-Competition?

Eclectic Implings are the middle child of Implings, not as shiny as Dragons but better than Essences. Most players chase the big-ticket Dragon Implings (359K each), leaving Eclectics wide open. You’ll have spawns to yourself, especially in Puro-Puro’s quieter corners. Plus, profits scale with your Clue-solving skills, not just how fancy your gear is.

Cracking Medium Clue Scrolls Fast

Clue Scrolls are your bread and butter, so you gotta solve them quick. How? Like this:

Teleport Like Crazy: Amulet of Glory, Ring of Dueling, Games Necklace, Xeric’s Talisman, House Tabs. Redirect House Tabs with Scrolls of Redirection for custom spots.
Empty Inventory Hack: When opening jars, only carry jars. Spam-click the last one to open them all fast (RuneLite’s Jar Opener Plugin does this automatically).
Stack Loot: Keep runes, arrows, or noted items to avoid banking. Sell high-value drops like Diamonds or Ranger Boots on the GE right away.
Clue Limits: You can only hold one Medium Clue at a time, so check jars often. Dropped Clues last 1 hour before they poof, so don’t lose them.
Use Plugins: RuneLite’s Clue Scroll Plugin auto-solves steps. For example, “dig near Lumbridge” is a quick Lumbridge Teleport away.

Goal: Hit 20-25 Clues per hour with good teleports (Fairy Rings, Spirit Trees). Without them, you’ll manage 10-15 Clues per hour.

Ironman Tips

Ironmen, this method’s a banger for you too. Why? Medium Clues are your only shot at Ranger Boots and some sweet cosmetics. Here’s how to make it work:

Jar Supply: Start with Elnock’s free 7 jars. Trade filled jars for 3 empty ones each to keep going.
Jar Generator: Swap 3 Essence, 2 Eclectic, and 1 Nature Jars for a Generator. Saves so much space.
Hunter Kit Spell: Use the Lunar Hunter Kit spell (70 Magic) for a chance at free jars. It’s slow but handy.
Efficiency: Catch ~180 Eclectics per hour in Puro-Puro for ~7 Clues. Use Snare or Dark Lure to lock them down.

Pro Move: Tag Eclectics with RuneLite and mark Puro-Puro’s fixed spawns. No more chasing Implings through that annoying maze.

Mistakes to Dodge

Even I’ve flubbed this method before. What trips people up?

Chasing Implings: If one zooms off, let it go. Stick to fixed spawns to keep catches high.
Forgetting Jar Breakage: 10% of jars break, so always have spares or a Generator.
Slow Clues: No teleports? Your GP/H tanks. Splurge on jewelry and tabs, it’s worth it.
Not Checking Prices: Jars cost 3,048 coins in March 2025. Always check the GE before buying stacks.
Betting on Boots: Without Ranger Boots, profits are rough. Plan for at least 12 hours to hit the average drop.

Eclectic vs. Essence Impling Jars

Should you switch to Essence Impling Jars? They’re cheaper (~2,900 coins) but only have a 1/50 chance for Clues, so they’re less efficient but easier on the wallet.

Feature	Eclectic Impling Jar	Essence Impling Jar
Cost	3,048 coins	2,900 coins
Clue Chance	1/25	1/50
Common Loot	1,639 coins	~1,200 coins
Profit per Jar	5,901 coins	~4,000 coins
Cost per Clue	~48,310 coins	~47,550 coins

My Pick: Eclectics for better GP/H. Essence Jars are solid for Ironmen or if you’re low on cash.

Why This Method Slaps in 2025

OSRS is stacked with money-makers, from bossing (1-3M GP/H) to skilling like Red Chins (1.2M GP/H). So why Eclectic Jars?

Low Crowds: Unlike Dragon Implings or Black Chins, Eclectics are ignored, so spawns are all yours.
Big Profits: Hit 2.7M GP/H with 20 Clues per hour if you’re fast.
No Danger: No PKers, no high-level gear needed. Just you, a net, and some jars.
Hunter XP: Get 30-34 XP per catch while making bank. Perfect for mid-levels.
It’s Fun: Chasing Implings and solving Clues beats grinding Vorkath for the 500th time.

Wrapping It Up

Eclectic Impling Jars are a hidden gem for OSRS players who want solid profits without the chaos of crowded methods. With up to 2.7M GP/H, a chance at Ranger Boots, and some chill Hunter XP, it’s a method I keep coming back to. Sure, the Boots are a big chunk of the profit, so you gotta be ready for some RNG swings. But with RuneLite plugins, a few teleports, and a Magic Net, you’ll be raking in jars and Clues like nobody’s business.
