How to Bot Giants Foundry OSRS - Scripts, Settings, and Session Tips

February 7, 2026 · By D

TL;DR: Giants Foundry is one of the better minigames to bot right now - decent XP, low attention from manual players, and a few solid scripts across major clients. Keep sessions under 3 hours, use appropriate alloy combos for your level, and don’t run it 16 hours a day like an idiot. Details below.

Why Giants Foundry Is Worth Botting

Giants Foundry sits in a sweet spot. It’s instanced, the gameplay loop is repetitive, and there aren’t a ton of real players hanging around to report you. Compare that to Blast Furnace where you’ve got 30 sweaty ironmen watching your every move. The XP rates are solid. Depending on your Smithing level and alloy combo, you’re looking at 150k-300k+ Smithing XP/hr. That’s competitive with other methods and way less click-intensive for a bot to handle. The minigame also rewards Foundry Reputation, which unlocks some useful items like the Smiths Uniform (bonus Smithing XP) and the Colossal Blade. Here’s what makes it attractive for farming specifically:

Low ban rate compared to high-traffic skilling spots
Consistent XP with minimal random events or interruptions
Simple logic loop - scripts don’t need complex pathing or combat handling
Decent profit if you’re flipping the reward items or just building accounts for other purposes I’ve been running Foundry on training accounts since mid-2025. It’s not a money printer, but for getting Smithing levels on accounts you plan to use elsewhere, it’s damn efficient.

Scripts and Clients - What’s Actually Available

Let’s be real. Not every client has a Giants Foundry script, and the ones that exist vary wildly in quality. Here’s what I’ve tested or seen in action:

|--------|----------------|---------|-------|-------|

My take: If you’re running 1-3 accounts, the client barely matters. Pick whatever has a working script. But if you’re scaling past 5 accounts, pricing structure starts to matter a lot. Per-hour models will eat your margins fast. The script needs to handle a few things correctly:

Mould selection - picking the right mould combo for the sword commission
Alloy mixing - using the right bars at the crucible
Heat management - switching between the trip hammer, grindstone, and polishing wheel based on heat
Dunking and cooling - using the waterfall and lava pool to adjust temperature If the script can’t handle heat management properly, your swords come out like crap and your XP/hr tanks. That’s the #1 thing to test before you let it run unattended.

Session Length, Settings, and Not Getting Banned

Here’s where most people screw up. They find a working script, set it to run overnight, and wake up to a 2-day ban. Classic. Session length matters more than almost anything else. Here’s what I run:

2-3 hour sessions with 30-60 minute breaks
No more than 8 hours total per day on any single account
Randomize start times - don’t log in at exactly 9:00 AM every day like a robot For alloy settings, match your Smithing level:

| Smithing Level | Best Alloy Combo | Approx XP/hr |

|---------------|------------------|---------------|

| 15-40 | Bronze + Iron | ~80k |

| 40-60 | Steel + Mithril | ~150k |

| 60-75 | Mithril + Adamant | ~200k |

| 75-85 | Adamant + Rune | ~280k |

| 85-99 | Rune + Rune | ~310k+ |

Take these numbers with a grain of salt. They vary based on mould quality and how well your script handles the heat cycles. I’ve seen 250k/hr on some scripts and 180k/hr on others at the same level. Other settings to configure:

Mouse speed - if your client supports it, slow it down slightly. Default speeds on some clients are inhuman.
Camera movement - enable random camera rotation if available. Static camera is a detection flag.
Interaction delay - add small random delays between actions. Even 50-200ms of randomness helps.
World selection - use lower population worlds. Fewer players = fewer reports. I stick to worlds with under 300 people.

Common Mistakes That’ll Get You Caught

I’ve burned accounts on this. Learn from my screwups. 1. Running max efficiency 24/7 No real player grinds Giants Foundry for 14 hours straight. Jagex’s detection isn’t just pattern-based anymore. They look at session data, and unnatural play times are a red flag. Jagex has been pretty open about investing in anti-cheat. Respect that. 2. Ignoring the alloy combo Some scripts default to whatever bars are cheapest. That’s fine for pure profit calcs but terrible if you’re trying to blend in. A level 80 smith using bronze bars at Giants Foundry looks suspicious as hell to anyone paying attention. 3. Not pre-questing the account You need to complete Sleeping Giants to access the minigame. If your account has literally nothing else done - no other quests, no other skills trained - and it’s just hammering swords all day, that’s a profile flag. Do some other stuff first. Train a few other skills. Do a couple quests. Make it look like a real account. 4. Same world, same time, every day Rotate worlds. Change your play schedule. If you’re on World 420 every single day from 2-5 PM, that’s a pattern. Break it up. 5. Not checking script updates Jagex updates the game every Wednesday. Minigame mechanics occasionally get small tweaks. An outdated script might start doing weird stuff - clicking the wrong station, misreading heat levels. Check r/2007scape weekly for patch notes and make sure your script author is still maintaining things.

The Bottom Line

Giants Foundry is one of the safer minigames to bot in OSRS right now. The instanced nature, simple game loop, and relatively low player traffic make it a solid option for training Smithing on alts or building account value.

But “safer” doesn’t mean “safe.” You’ll still catch bans if you’re sloppy. Short sessions, randomized behavior, and not being greedy with runtime are the basics. And honestly, those basics apply to botting anything.

I’m not 100% sure how long this will stay under the radar. Foundry’s been out since 2022 and detection hasn’t ramped up much, but that can change with any update. Run your accounts smart, don’t put all your eggs in one method, and keep your session times human.

That’s the whole playbook. Go make some swords.
