Help & FAQ

My RSN isn't found

Check spelling (every character counts; case doesn't). New accounts and accounts without a ranked skill don't appear on the Hiscores, and name changes take a while to show. You can always enter levels manually.

My levels look out of date

The official Hiscores update when you log out or change worlds, and we cache each RSN for 30 minutes. Signed-in users can force a refresh from their results page.

How is GP/hr calculated?

Revenue = outputs per hour × instant-sell price after GE tax. Cost = inputs per hour × instant-buy price + fixed costs. Profit = revenue − cost. The buy-limit-capped figure scales the rate by how much of the binding input you can actually buy in a 4-hour window. Every method page shows the full table.

What is GE tax?

The Grand Exchange takes 2% of each sale (capped at 5M per item; items under 50 gp are exempt). We apply it to every output.

Why does a method show 'low liquidity'?

One of its items trades less than three times the hourly quantity the method needs. You may not be able to buy or sell that much at the listed price.

A method's numbers look wrong

Rates are typical, not best-case, and prices move. If a requirement, item or rate is wrong, use "Report" on the method page — accepted corrections ship in the next data update.

How is ironman detected?

We check the ironman, hardcore and ultimate Hiscores. If detection is wrong (e.g. a de-ironed account), override it from your saved RSN on the account page.

Do I need to install anything or share my password?

No. FlaxPicker reads only the public Hiscores. We never ask for game credentials and there is no plugin to install.

Where do prices come from?

The OSRS Wiki real-time price API, refreshed every 5 minutes (volumes hourly). Method data is independently authored; each method links to its wiki page for the how-to.

How do alerts work?

Premium. Up to 10 rules per account: "method X ≥ N GP/hr", "any method I can do ≥ N GP/hr" or "a level-up unlocked a new method". We evaluate every 30 minutes and deliver by email and/or a Discord webhook you provide. A threshold rule fires once, then re-arms after the value drops 10% below your threshold.

How do I set up a Discord webhook?

In your Discord server: Server settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New webhook → Copy URL. Paste it under Settings. We store it encrypted and only post alert messages to it.

What does the session planner do?

Premium. Give it hours, capital and the intensity you're up for; it picks the best 1–3 qualifying methods (respecting buy limits) and produces a shopping list at live prices.

What happens when my trial or subscription ends?

Nothing is deleted. Alert rules pause (they resume the moment you subscribe again), the planner and profit log become read-only, and everything free stays free.

How do I cancel or get a refund?

Cancel from Billing (Stripe portal). Refunds within 7 days on request via contact.

What data do you store?

Your email (or Discord id), saved RSNs, alert rules, logs you create and a Stripe customer id. Delete everything from Settings at any time. See the privacy policy.

What are 'FlaxPicker Levels'?

A planned progression system: using the app and making real OSRS progress earns XP; reward levels unlock 48-hour Premium windows. It's not live yet — nothing you do now is lost, and free stays free.
