If you're having trouble with autocasting spells in Old School RuneScape, you're not alone. This issue can be frustrating, but most autocast problems have simple solutions.
I'll cover all the common reasons why your autocast might not be working and how to fix them.
Check Your Runes
The most common reason why autocast won't work is not having enough runes.
Make sure you:
- Have all required runes for your chosen spell
- Check that you have enough runes for multiple casts
- Verify that runes aren't hidden in a rune pouch
Confirm Your Magic Level
You need the appropriate magic level to cast a spell, even with autocast.
Double-check that:
- Your magic level meets the requirement for the spell
- You haven't been affected by any stat-draining effects
Examine Your Equipment
Not all magic weapons support autocasting.
To autocast spells you need:
- A compatible staff or weapon
- Staff of air/fire/water/earth for elemental spells
- Some weapons only autocast certain spell types
- Certain weapons like tridents have built-in spells only
Common Autocast Setup Mistakes
If you have runes and the right level but still can't autocast:
- Right-click your equipped staff/weapon
- Select "Choose spell" or "Autocast" option
- Select the spell you want to cast automatically
- Confirm your combat options are set to "Magic"
If you're still having issues with autocasting after trying these solutions, you might want to consider upgrading your gear. Players who buy OSRS gold can afford better magic weapons with enhanced autocasting capabilities that make combat much smoother.
