Easy Runescape Quests to Start With Osr

Playing OSRS can get complicated, especially for new and inexperienced players. Things such as UI, combat system and skills are so confusing and kinda old, that might get someone to quit pretty quick. So in this guide, I'm willing to make things simple and not very detailed for beginners to avoid confusion and enjoy the deep gameplay.

You can also read our ultimate guide which explains the best ways to get money in OSRS.

Tutorial Island

When you log in to the game for the first time ever, you start on Tutorial Island. On this island, you will learn the basics of the game such as how to bank or how to train skills.

The first thing you will ever do is choosing a name for your character, and then you will move to character customization.

Then you should follow the yellow arrow flashing above certain NPCs. They will teach you the general mechanics and basic knowledge of the game.

On the final task of the tutorial, you are asked if you want to be an Ironman or not. As a beginner, it wouldn't be a wise choice to become an Ironman. Being an Ironman has a great negative, and it's that you can't trade anything with other players.

Once you are done with the Tutorial, you will be teleported to Lumbridge where you will start playing the game.

User Interface

The UI is probably the most complicated thing in the game, due to the age of the game. But I will breakdown the UI to make it "easy-to-get" for beginners. Note that this guide is focused only on the PC version of the game.

Chat Box

Chat is used to communicate with other players in many different ways. Also, you can monitor the processes you do via the "Game" tab, and communicate with NPCs in general.

Clan Chat Tab

In this tab, you can join or create a clan chat. The clan chat is used for raids or training with friends. Generally, it depends on the activity of the clan. You can always leave the Clan whenever you want. Actually switching between Clans is what most of the players are doing since you don't stick to only 1 activity. In raids (endgame dungeon), if you leave the Clan, you will be automatically kicked out of the dungeon.

The Earth icon is used to open the World Map. It is actually the most useful thing for a beginner, especially while doing a quest. Use it to find the NPC's locations across the map and the fastest way to travel, whether it's to NPC or a City.

The far Northern part of the map is the Wilderness, which is a PVP area and if you get killed there you will lose your items.

Combat Mechanics

In OSRS, the combat mechanics are simple. Actually, you don't use such flashy skills like the other MMO games apart from the Magic spells. The main source of dealing damage to your opponent is your basic attack.

The amount of damage dealt gets affected by your stats which depends on your levels in combat skills such as Melee or Ranged. However, the damage you deal to your opponent is not guaranteed as it's still possible to hit low damage, or even0 damage, while being level 99 in all combat skills. Which means that it's random, but your level and gear are increasing your chance to deal damage and also increases your max hit.

In short, increasing your accuracy means increasing your hit chance, and increasing your strength means increasing your max hit.

There are 7 different skills are used in combat, each of them is explained in the skills guide.

Things to Do Before Using Your First Bond

Before buying your first Bond, you should do the following steps in F2P worlds, so you don't waste your membership days.

  • Train your main combat skills until level 50~60.
  • Achieve the required levels for all the free quests and complete all of them. By completing the free quests you will also gain EXP in various skills.
  • Try to make money as much as possible, so you can buy a Bond from the Grand Exchange without paying real money for it.

To start training the combat skills, you better head to Goblins or Cows which are located east of Lumbridge. Then, at a higher level, you can start training on the Frogs located south of Lumbridge.

Notes

  • Being killed in OSRS means that you will drop all your items on the ground except most valuable 3 items you have got. Your items will be on the ground for 1 hour waiting for you to pick them, nobody else will be able to see them. But if you die in the Wilderness, your items will be visible and available to anyone.
  • In OSRS there are Free worlds and P2P Worlds, P2P items won't be usable in the Free Worlds.
  • P2P gameplay unlocks around 90% of the game, so it's always better to find your way to get your first Bond.
