Be Good at RuneScape

Runescape is a fun MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that people from around the world are eligible to play. There are quests to do, monsters to kill, and rare items to get.

Steps

  1. Get to Know Your Way Around RuneScape. This will make Runescape less complicated and more easy to navigate.
  2. Make friends.
    • At some point you will get bored and want someone to talk to.
  3. Make some gold! Here is a quick guide to making money:
    • Members: Buy Water-filled vials. You want to buy them from the Ardougne general store. The go onto the forums and sell them for 250 gold each no more, no less
    • Members: Once you have around 1 million gold, you may want to start merchanting (What people in RuneScape call the practice of buying low and selling high) Rune or Dragon Items, or perhaps something else you believe can be made into profit. It is best to sell items in World 2 for Members.
    • Free-Players: Kill cows for cow hides, bank and continue until you have 100 (about 3.7 runs). Sell this 100 for 10k at Al-Kharid bank.
    • Free-Players: Kill chickens and sell the feathers approximately 12 each, or buy feathers 6 each at fishing stores and then sell them approximately 12 gold each at GE.
    • Free-players and members: Air Run See the Air Running guide on wikiHow here. Once you have 60k from that, buy bronze arrows from the Varrock Archery Shop, they cost 6gp each and sell for 20gp each. Now you have 200k! =)
    • Kill hill giants for drops containing law runes, death runes, uncut gems, and limpwurt roots. All these sell on the G.E. for a good amount of money. Level 20 dungeoneering is recommended for the resource dungeon which contains 11 hill giants & 4 limpwurt root spawn points
  4. Once you have a good amount of money, buy cooked lobsters for 200-220 gp. Remember to be firm with your price when re-selling for 240+.
  5. Train hard, here's another quick guide:
    • Members: The only Rock Crabs in the game are in the Members' Area of Relleka. They look like boulders but when you approach them they pop up and attack your player. They have 50 hp, they give 200 experience points per kill, and they're only level 13!
    • Free players: When you start, goblins are best. When you're about level 10, start experimenting up to level 20.
    • Level 20- Guards at Falador or Varrok until level 30.
    • Level 30- Hill giants. You will need to buy a Brass Key in order to get into the shack just west/north west of Varrock, or you can walk to Edgeville and go down the ladder, although there are stronger monsters on the way, there is a brass key near the ladder out so you can get in quicker later. Level 20 dungeoneering is recommended for the resource dungeon containing 11 hill giants
    • Level 40- Anything (Except Lesser Demons, and Elvarg), but you may want to try start your luck killing other players in the Wilderness area (Commonly called PKing, for Player-Killing) attack white knights at falador as well
    • Level 60- If you haven't already, try your luck killing Elvarg, the Dragon from the Dragon Slayer quest. Of course, be sure to bring food and armor, and the Anti-dragon Shield! Bring strength potions as well
    • Level 70+ - Kill Lesser Demons, Rock Crabs, Ogres, and any other monster that you feel are safe to kill. Generally, try not too go too overboard and fight things over 60 levels higher than you.
  6. Get to know your surroundings.
  7. Get your character to higher levels through training - but remember to have fun!
  8. If you have a question about an item, or how to get something, ask someone, however, if they would not like to talk, do not annoy them. This can give you a bad reputation! Just check the RuneScape Official Forums, or ask a more experienced friend.
  9. Don't think you can get high level stuff that other people have acquired; you have to work for it.
  10. Get your other things up besides combat. Don't focus on just one skill.
  11. Play fair, don't break the rules, and don't act in an offensive or insulting manner with other players.
  12. If you are having trouble finding information from your friends, the Knowledge Base, or the Forums, visit a fansite! Try to stick to more well known sites, however, as some RuneScape Fansites do contain keyloggers or other malware.

Tips

  • Also don't get addicted to RuneScape. Remember that you have a whole life to live, and a video game won't stop your real-life problems.
  • Understand the Rules on RuneScape! You might be offended if someone calls you a Noob, but you cannot report someone for it.
  • To get the most out of Runescape, you might want to consider becoming a member.
  • Do something else to take your mind off from the game such as playing another game, play outside, socialize with friends and/or family, etc.
  • Make sure to take a 10 minute break for every hour that you play. Also if you want to be healthier, play 10 minutes less each time that you get one (set a timer for yourself). In the extra time that you have work out, or focus on schoolwork!
  • Quests can give great experience rewards and save you lots of time when starting out. You can avoid hours of noob training and get straight to business. Quests also allow you to access new areas of the map you may not be so familiar with. Exploring these areas can lead to better skilling methods, money making methods, and improved familiarity with the map.

Warnings

  • When traveling to unfamiliar areas, keep valuable things in the bank, you might get killed (it happens!)
  • If you decide to Player-Kill, do a dangerous quest, or face dangerous monsters, always be sure to bring the proper food and potions!
  • Don't be disrespectful to fellow players, Moderators, or especially Jagex Customer Support and Staff. This will get you temporarily or permanently muted or even worse― banned!
  • Do not hack, it will get you banned.
  • Do not use a macro program. Most macros either give viruses or force you to pay. Even if a macro works, it will get you banned eventually.
  • Playing for extended periods of time can seriously degrade your health (including: back, eyesight, legs, arms, Carpal Tunnel, etc...)
  • Do not buy gold with real life money, it will get you banned.
