RSorder OSRS: Marlin Rank Guide

Written by

The inner routes in RuneScape gold this tier are significantly tighter. Hitting a swamp gas pool is extremely punishing, so take wider paths where possible and prioritise safe angles over speed boosts.

A successful run will comfortably earn Shark rank as long as you avoid getting stuck inside the swamp pockets.

Marlin Rank Guide (Final Rank)

The Marlin tier is the most demanding version of the Jubbly Jive:

Three Jubbies must be guided

56 crates

You must revisit the toad boat twice

Full mastery of the Windcatcher mechanics is needed

Course hazards are unavoidable without Windcatcher usage

First Toad Trip: Pre-Baiting

Your first set of nine toads needs to be spread carefully:

Never throw at the green flag.

Pre-bait yellow and red.

Lure the first Jubbly through:

Orange → Teal → Magenta → White

After the first lure, switch to the inner route. This will set you up for the second pass.

Windcatcher Technique

Your Windcatcher (wind mote) lets you blast through swamp bubbles without slowing down. Use it on:

Long straightaways

Swamp-dense crate regions

The orange flag pre-bait, one of the trickiest throws in the entire course

Mastering the timing here massively impacts your success.

Second Toad Trip

Grab another nine toads, use Windcatcher again to break through the swamp lines, and begin guiding the remaining two Jubbies through:

Red

Blue

Teal

Magenta

White

If you maintain steady momentum and avoid major slowdowns, you should land the Marlin time with seconds to spare-just as intended.

Conclusion

The Jubbly Jive is a huge step up from the earlier Barracuda Trials, requiring precise routing, timing, and excellent ship control. Completing all three ranks-Swordfish, Shark, and Marlin-will push your Sailing knowledge and unlock the next Barracuda challenge, the Gwenneth Glide.

Once that’s unlocked, you’ll be able to push your Sailing levels from the 50s into the 70s and beyond using Barracuda Trials alone. Having enough RS gold can also be very helpful.
