Glistening tears are a form of currency found in the Underwater Agility and Thieving training activity, located in the Underwater section of Fossil Island. Glistening tears can be exchanged with Mairin for experience in Agility, Thieving, or both, and are obtained by looting chests and clams during the activity. Glistening tears are always obtained alongside a mermaid's tear. Approximately 150 tears are obtainable per hour.

The most efficient way of exchanging glistening tears is selecting both skills. While it gives less experience in an individual skill, its value is higher than training the two skills independently, due to Agility being proportionally slower to train.

Players can only exchange a maximum of 700 glistening tears at once; if players exchange them for experience with more than 700 glistening tears in the inventory, the excess will be discarded. In addition, they cannot be deposited into a bank.

Experience per Tear
Level	XP	ᚼ	XP	ᚼ	&	XP	(Total)
25	16.9		61.9		11.3	41.3	52.5
40	43.2		158.4		28.8	105.6	134.4
60	97.2		356.4		64.8	237.6	302.4
80	172.8		633.6		115.2	422.4	537.6
92	228.5		837.9		152.4	558.6	711.0
99	264.6		970.3		176.4	646.9	823.3

Choosing Agility and Thieving, the experience granted by each Glistening Tear is defined by the following equations; When exchanging for one skill, experience is multiplied by 1.5:

${\begin{aligned}{\underset {\lfloor 0.1\rfloor }{E_{A}}}={\frac {3\times A^{2}\times {\frac {9}{10}}}{150}}=0.018\times A^{2}\qquad \qquad \qquad \ {\underset {\lfloor 0.1\rfloor }{E_{T}}}\ ={\frac {11\times T^{2}\times {\frac {9}{10}}}{150}}=0.066\times T^{2}\end{aligned}}$

E_A is Agility experience; E_T is Thieving experience; A is Agility level; T is Thieving level.

Experience per Hour
