What is the max level in Runescape?

Both Runescape and OSRS (Old School Runescape) have level caps that you can reach, which are comprised of individual skill levels. Despite the two games sharing a lot of gameplay similarities, the level cap between is actually a little bit different for free and paid membership accounts.

For free Runescape accounts, the max level is 1750. For Runescape players who have opted to pay for a membership scheme, the max level is increased to 2772. It’s an incredibly lengthy path to hit the max level cap so don’t worry about blasting through Runescape’s expansive experience at once. Hitting the max level cap requires all individual skill levels to be maxed out at level 99.

In regards to Old School Runescape the free account max level cap is 1395. Players with a membership for Old School Runescape will be able to jump up to level 1782.

Can you earn XP after hitting the level cap?

If you’ve managed to reach the max level cap already or have considered putting in the graft to get there, then don’t worry about your XP stopping. Even after you’ve hit the highest level in both versions of Runescape, you’ll still build up XP as you continue to play the game as normal.

Getting to the max level will enable you to acquire the Max Cape too, which is definitely worth showing off to your teammates and rivals alike.
