* {{Icon|Mastery}} XP and the associated benefits from increased item mastery levels and [[Mastery#The_Mastery_Pool|Mastery pool]] checkpoints work differently depending on whether the skill is tick-based or not.

** For tick-based skills with {{Icon|Mastery}} (currently {{Skill|Firemaking}}, {{Skill|Mining}}, and {{Skill|Thieving}}), Mastery XP is granted after each action, and so any benefits from increased Mastery levels and Mastery pool checkpoints come into effect as soon as they are earned. In other words, for tick-based skills the Mastery XP gained while offline is the same as what would have been gained if online during the same period.

** For other skills, the entire offline session will be simulated as if the action being performed had remained at its initial Mastery level for the entire offline period. Therefore, the player won't receive the benefits of any gained Mastery levels until after the game is re-opened and online progress resumes. Whatever action is performed during the offline progression will not have any new Mastery bonuses applied.

*: As the amount of Mastery XP granted for each action increases as that action's mastery level increases, this also means that in most cases the amount of Mastery XP gained from offline progression will be less than if the same time period had been performed online.
