Experience-boosting sets increase the experience gained in a specific skill when worn. These sets can be obtained in a number of ways. When every part of a set is worn, most sets provide a 5% experience boost. However, some sets (those consisting of five items instead of four) grant a 6% experience boost.

Prior to 6 October 2013, all sets gave a 5% boost. Prior to 28 September 2012, they gave a 2.5% experience boost.

Elite skilling outfits[]

Elite skilling outfit pieces were originally obtainable via a Treasure hunter promotion, and later from Vic the trader and Stanley Limelight.

Individual pieces are able to be traded for another piece within that same set in a 1:1 trade. (e.g. a sapphire golem body can be traded for emerald golem gloves).

If you have three of the tradable outfit pieces of the same type, they can be combined into a superior, non-tradable piece. (e.g. Sapphire, Emerald, and Ruby golem gloves can be combined into Magic golem gloves).

As of 14 November 2016, elite skilling outfit fragments for the Mining, Runecrafting, Fishing (since 6 March 2017), Thieving (since 5 June 2017), Divination (since 29 January 2018), and Dungeoneering (since 13 August 2018) sets can be obtained with level 70 in their respective skill, after speaking with the respective skill's skillcape master. At level 80 in that skill, and with a certain level in Invention, blueprints can be unlocked and outfits can be manufactured. Gathering rates will also be improved at level 99, level 120, and at 200,000,000 XP.

The elite skilling outfits don't provide an experience boost on their own (except for the Dungeoneering outfits), the player needs to own the regular skilling outfits so that the elite skilling outfits can also provide an experience boost. For example, pieces of the Diviner's outfit need to be owned before the elder Divination outfits can give a boost to Divination experience.
