The first day
- Finish Tutorial Island, and answer brand new to the first guide.
- In Lumbridge, start an Adventure Path with Adventurer Jon, and collect the tutors’ free tools.
- Do Cook’s Assistant, Sheep Shearer, X Marks the Spot and The Restless Ghost, all in or near Lumbridge.

The first week
- Turn on the Authenticator and set a Bank PIN.
- Walk through the Stronghold of Security for 10,000 coins.
- Reach 10 quest points and a total level of 100. Romeo & Juliet and Pirate’s Treasure help. With 20 hours played, the Grand Exchange’s selling limit lifts.
- Get Attack, Strength and Defence to 20, then fight Al Kharid warriors.
- Train Mining to 10 and do The Knight’s Sword: Smithing 1 to 29 in one quest.
After that
From here the game opens up, and most players pick a long goal: every free quest, ending with Dragon Slayer I; a first level 99; a boss; or membership, to see the rest of the world.
