Getting your collection and Bronzeman working after V1

Current release

Version 1.0.1 keeps the same collection format

The current Plugin Hub release primarily improves credit, reconnect, restricted-world, shutdown, and pack-opening reliability. Its local save still uses RLTCG_v3, still accepts older RLTCG_v2 saves, and keeps normal, foil, and migrated-beta copies in the same grouped card format used by this website.

The live card catalogue did change after launch, so the website's card identities, migration map, and Pack Odds inputs were refreshed separately. Open the compatibility audit.

Start here

Create the official profile first

1. Update OSRS TCG and Bronzeman through RuneLite's Plugin Hub.
2. Log into the game, open OSRS TCG, and create the official profile from its sidebar.
3. Read and accept the consent shown by the plugin.
4. Wait for OSRS TCG to show Connected, then confirm that Open web album works.
5. On the official Account page, turn on Share collection publicly if you want this website to load it by IGN.

Open the official Account page

Bring beta cards forward

Import or replace the beta backup

The official site can import a beta save when the official account does not already contain beta cards. On the official Account page, select tcg.save inside the relevant old profile folder under:

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.runelite\OSRS-TCG\backups
• macOS/Linux: ~/.runelite/OSRS-TCG/backups

Confirm the card count before completing the import.

Imported the wrong beta backup?

1. Open the official Account page and choose Reset collection.
2. Select Wipe beta collection only. Leave Wipe normal collection off.
3. Confirm the irreversible reset with the PIN or authenticator requested by the official site.
4. When Import beta save returns, upload the newer backup and confirm its card count.

Read the reset warning first. The current official Account page says a reset cancels pending trades and leaves official groups. Wiping only beta cards keeps normal V1 cards, credits and pack counters, but the removed beta cards cannot be recovered unless they are present in the replacement save.

Current local save

The V1 save moved

The backups folder above is for the one-time beta migration. A current V1 local save used by the manual importer is stored under ~/.runelite/OSRS-TCG/profiles/<profile hash>/tcg.save. On Windows, start at %USERPROFILE%\.runelite\OSRS-TCG\profiles. Open the most recently updated profile folder and select tcg.save.

The importer now accepts both RLTCG_v2 and RLTCG_v3 saves. Raw files are decoded locally in the browser.

Bronzeman status

What to try if everything looks locked

Bronzeman 0.3.2 is now the Plugin Hub release. Its V1 gameplay restrictions are unchanged from 0.3.1 and are the rule set used by this website.

1. Finish creating the official OSRS TCG profile and wait for Connected.
2. Update Bronzeman through RuneLite's Plugin Hub.
3. Toggle Bronzeman off and on once.
4. If it still reports OSRS TCG as unavailable or keeps everything locked, close RuneLite completely and reopen it as a temporary recovery step.
5. If the problem remains, record both plugin versions and the exact Bronzeman chat or status message.

The restart is a workaround for a likely startup or refresh timing issue, not the intended normal setup.

New in Bronzeman 0.3.2

Repair Bronzeman's saved Beta snapshot

Bronzeman now has its own safe Beta-history controls. Use these only when the Beta Collection shown inside Bronzeman is missing, incorrect or tied to the wrong old save. They do not edit the official OSRS TCG collection or its save.

1. Open Bronzeman's Beta Cards settings.
2. Choose Import Beta save... and select an RLTCG_v2 or RLTCG_v3 OSRS TCG save smaller than 16 MiB.
3. Review the matched and unmatched-name preview before confirming.
4. Use Wipe saved Beta snapshot only when you intend to clear Bronzeman's local historical snapshot.
5. If the result is wrong, use Restore previous snapshot for the one-step undo while it remains available.

The controls are profile-scoped and abort if the active RuneLite profile changes during the operation. Version 0.3.2 also restores Fish chunks to Bronzeman's Beta panel display without changing gameplay enforcement.

Current gameplay rules

What Bronzeman 0.3.1 changed

Version 0.3.1 was the major V1 compatibility rewrite. It uses canonical live V1 parent cards instead of treating every old beta name as a separate current card. Version 0.3.2 keeps these gameplay rules unchanged.

• The missing Crashed Star rule is added: Tool + Ore can require Stardust.
• Coin pouch no longer counts as the V1 Coins parent card.
• Quest, Fishing, Hunter, Runecrafting, Slayer and Thieving requirements are updated to V1 parent names.
• The separate burnt-food filter is removed. Cooking keeps Input Only and Input + Output.
• Pickpocketing changes to NPC, Coins, Coins + NPC or all reviewed loot. H.A.M. Members receive their own four-mode filter.
• Veos and the Ironman tutor are exempted so V1 onboarding cannot be blocked by their NPC cards.
• The live catalogue download is opt-in and points at the official API host; the source says no RuneScape profile or collection data is sent with that catalogue request.

Skill Access evaluates this rule baseline and accepts the unchanged current gameplay-settings export. Older saved website filters are converted to their closest current equivalent.

Catalogue review

What changed between beta and V1

The current V1 catalogue has 5,167 live parent cards: 3,770 item entities and 1,397 NPC entities. The beta catalogue had 6,376 exact names. The difference is not simply “cards removed”: V1 merges many variants into one parent card while preserving migrated beta copies as legacy cards.

• 4,443 V1 parents have a confirmed beta identity mapping.
• 724 V1 parents are additions with no confirmed beta parent.
• 455 V1 parent groups combine 1,299 older beta rows.
• 1,089 beta names remain legacy-only, unresolved, or split between more than one possible live identity.
• Beta copies stay separate, cannot be traded or sold, and do not count toward official V1 statistics.

The September 9 refresh adds Ava’s accumulator, merges Emerald amulet into Amulet of defence, and adds Sailing to Rake’s categories. The total remains 5,167 live parent cards. The downloadable ledgers follow this current catalogue; an old standalone name can still appear on a migrated beta copy.

Use the new collection source

Use the gold Load or update collection button on any tool page. Enter an IGN to load a public Solo collection or the player's official group. The saved snapshot remains available between visits and can be refreshed once every 15 minutes. Google sign-in is optional for this path; it remains available for existing site-owned profiles and custom groups.
