Upon returning, the game will determine how long the player was gone for (up to a maximum of 18 hours) and will simulate the progression as if the game had been left open for that time period, granting the player with any Skill XP, {{Icon|Mastery}} XP, [[Table of Items|Items]], and various other things that would have been received during that time. The player will be presented with a summary of what has occurred while offline, and the action that was being performed will then continue progressing as normal. | ||

** For tick-based skills (currently | ** For tick-based skills with {{Icon|Mastery}} (currently {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}}, and {{Skill|Thieving}}), Mastery XP is granted after each action, and so any benefits from increased Mastery levels and Mastery pool checkpoints come into effect as soon as they are earned. In other words, for tick-based skills the Mastery XP gained while offline is the same as what would have been gained if online during the same period. | ||
