OSRS raids carries, with the terms agreed first

Settle the loot question before you book

Raids are unlike other services in one specific way: they generate valuable items during the service itself. A fire cape run produces a cape and nothing else. A Chambers of Xeric run might produce nothing, or might produce an item worth more than the entire service several times over.

So the first thing to establish is what happens to the loot, and the answer needs to be explicit. Does the buyer keep everything? Does the seller keep purples? Is there a split, and at what ratio? All of these are legitimate arrangements. What is not legitimate is discovering you had different assumptions after a rare drop lands.

Put the answer in the order chat before you order, in plain words, covering the unlikely case as well as the ordinary one. A seller who will not put the loot terms in writing is telling you something useful.

Carried, or taught

There are two different things sold under the same word. A carry means experienced players run the raid and you come along, contributing what you can, and you finish with the completion and whatever loot the agreed split gives you. Teaching means you are being shown how to do it, more slowly, and you leave able to do it again.

They are priced differently and they are worth different things. If you want the kill count, buy a carry. If you want to be able to raid next week without buying anything, pay more for teaching and expect it to take longer. Deciding which you actually want before you book avoids the commonest source of disappointment here.

Account access, and how to avoid needing it

Most raid services do not need your password, because you are in the raid yourself. That is a real advantage over services that require account access, and it is worth preserving: a seller who asks for your login for a raid carry is asking for something the job does not require.

Never hand over a registration email under any circumstances, and never accept a reason for why this particular case is different. If a service genuinely cannot be delivered while you play, that is a reason to reconsider the purchase rather than a reason to hand over credentials.

Coordinate everything in the order chat — the time, the world, who is bringing supplies. It keeps the arrangement on the record, and it is what a reviewer reads if the order is disputed.

Before you book a raid carry

• Agree the loot split in writing, including what happens on a rare drop.
• Establish whether you are buying a carry or being taught — they are different services.
• Confirm which raid and how many completions the price covers.
• Check what supplies you are expected to bring, and what the seller provides.
• Never share a password or registration email. A raid carry does not need either.
• Keep all coordination in the order chat, not Discord.

The risk, stated plainly

Paying for services with real money breaches Jagex's terms of service and can result in action against your account. Raids services carry an additional wrinkle: loot generated during the run is a common source of dispute, and escrow can only enforce terms that were actually written down.

Frequently asked questions

Who keeps the loot on a raid carry?

Whatever you agreed before the run — there is no default. Common arrangements are buyer keeps everything, seller keeps rare drops, or a defined split. Agree it in the order chat before ordering, and cover the rare-drop case explicitly.

Do I need to give account access for a raids service?

No, and you should not. You are in the raid yourself, so the job does not require your credentials. Treat a request for your password or registration email as a reason to stop.

What is the difference between a carry and a teaching run?

A carry gets you the completion and the loot; teaching gets you the ability to run it yourself afterwards. Teaching takes longer and costs more, and is the better purchase if you intend to keep raiding.

When does the seller get paid?

Only when you confirm the service was delivered. Your payment sits in a wallet-backed escrow hold from the moment you order, so the seller knows it is real without ever holding it.
