Bury
The inventory Bury route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Bury on the dropped card is not checked.
Independent Bronzeman field guide
Plain-English notes about rules and limitations that may not be obvious while playing.
The current release is pinned to revision 5cd1a7fa. Its gameplay restrictions are unchanged from the 0.3.1 rule baseline at d6bbdace, so Skill Access results did not need a rule-data rewrite.
OSRS TCG Tools is built to reflect Bronzeman's observed card logic as accurately as possible. Some rules depend on a specific setting, action path, quest state, or item you are carrying. This page explains those details without treating every strict rule or missing entry as a confirmed bug.
After a quest has started, Bronzeman can allow non-combat actions with NPCs connected to that quest in its lookup. Attacks still require the NPC card. The interaction that starts a quest happens before this exception can apply, so a carded starter may still need its card.
In the reviewed restricted Hunter modes, butterfly and moth catches require a Butterfly net or Magic butterfly net plus a Butterfly jar. This also applies to catches that the game can allow bare-handed. Implings use their own net, jar, and—under the strict setting—filled-jar rules.
The reviewed plugin does not remove a higher-level catch from the card group just because your current Fishing level is too low to catch it. Tool-only and any-catch settings are less strict, and the physical tool or bait check follows the applicable version you are carrying.
The game can automatically choose the best axe you are carrying, so Bronzeman checks card-backed carried axes. An unlocked weaker axe does not make a locked stronger carried axe harmless; banking the locked axe can change the live result.
Restricted planting can require the Seed dibber and, in the stricter mode, the seed or spore being planted. It does not require the harvested produce card. Raking checks the Rake rather than Weeds, and the plugin has a separate in-game progress check for the Farming part of Barbarian Training.
Ordinary pickpocketing can require the NPC, Coins, Coins plus the NPC, or every reviewed requirement. Coin pouch is not a substitute for the V1 Coins card. H.A.M. Members have a separate Member, Member + Outfit, or Full Loot rule; Master Farmer normally requires nothing and checks every reviewed seed only when Master Farmer Insanity is enabled. Stalls and chests retain their own any/all loot setting.
An item-on-item action can be blocked before its make interface opens. A Fletching output might pass its recipe rule while using a locked Knife or log is still blocked by the separate Item Usage setting.
For covered ordinary logs, the Firemaking-specific setting checks the Tinderbox card. The separate Item Usage setting can still block a locked log when you use the Tinderbox on it from your inventory. This does not mean every special Firemaking or pyre-log interaction is covered.
Bronzeman 0.3.1 adds the missing Crashed Star / Mine rule. Tool Only checks a carried pickaxe, while Tool + Ore also requires the Stardust parent card. Crashed Stars remain outside RuneLite's Skill Calculator, so they are documented here instead of appearing as a Skill Access method row.
The reviewed build checks Take when an item is on the ground, but its ordinary ground-item path returns early for actions such as Bury, Crush, Eat-from, Lay, and Light. That can allow a locked card to be used from the ground even when the comparable inventory route is restricted. The reviewed current-card list is shown below.
The reviewed make-interface checks run through RuneLite menu-click events. Keyboard defaults such as Space to make the remembered product do not always use that same path, so clicking a choice and selecting it by keyboard can produce different Bronzeman results. This is a technical limitation, not an intended card unlock.
The pinned quest audit found 46 card-backed non-combat quest rows that were not found in the older reviewed lookup: 33 after the quest-start boundary and 13 starter interactions across 34 quests. It also found four combat rows for review. NPCs without a current card are kept in the internal review data instead of being shown as card requirements. These remain evidence-backed review candidates, not proof that every row is a bug or a claim that the older audit is a fresh, exhaustive review of every 0.3.2 quest path.
Some newer or special skilling methods have no matching rule in the reviewed build. OSRS TCG Tools labels these as current-build gaps instead of inventing a restriction from a nearby activity, and uncertain trigger mappings remain under review.
The reviewed source can react to a chatbox selection event, but it also warns that keyboard flows may bypass that preventive hook. This is separate from the make-interface limitation above.
Version 0.3.1 moved restrictions to live V1 parent-card identities, corrected Coins ownership, changed Cooking and Thieving filters, exempted Veos and the Ironman tutor from onboarding locks, and added the missing Crashed Star / Mine → Stardust rule. Those gameplay rules remain current in 0.3.2.

Version 0.3.2 adds safer, profile-scoped controls for importing, wiping and restoring Bronzeman's saved Beta snapshot. It previews matched and unmatched names, accepts current and legacy OSRS TCG save formats up to 16 MiB, and keeps a previous snapshot available for one-step restore. These controls do not edit the official OSRS TCG collection or save.
The release also restores Fish chunks to the Beta panel's historical-name presentation. That correction does not add a gameplay restriction or change the frozen legacy snapshot positions.
Current cards only
These cards remain requirements in OSRS TCG Tools. The current Bronzeman build can technically bypass the restriction through the exact ground action shown, so use that route at your own discretion. No-card findings are retained privately for future catalogue reviews and are not shown here.
The inventory Bury route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Bury on the dropped card is not checked.
The inventory Crush route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Crush on the dropped card is not checked.
The inventory Eat-from route can be stopped by Item Usage, but choosing Eat-from on the dropped card is not checked.
The normal trap or Item Usage check can require the card, but dropping the trap and choosing Lay is not checked.
The inventory route can require the locked log card through Item Usage, but dropping the log and choosing Light is not checked. The Tinderbox rule still applies where Bronzeman has a covered recipe.
Item actions were reviewed from cache 2655; the unchanged bypass condition was rechecked against Bronzeman TCG 0.3.2 on September 5, 2026.
A note from the site owner
I built these tools to support my own Bronzeman playthrough with my GIM. When testing reveals a reproducible issue, I make my best effort to share the evidence I collected with the developers.
Because I am not affiliated with Bronzeman TCG or OSRS TCG, I am never completely certain whether an inconsistency is a bug, an accepted limitation, or an intentional rule unless the developer has said so. Where this site calls something a possible bug, that is my evidence-based interpretation when the behavior appears to conflict with other plugin handling or developer documentation—not a statement of developer intent. I also cannot promise that anything I report will be changed or fixed.
The claims above are tied to exact source snapshots so they can be checked again when the plugins change.
