OSRS Guide
Old School RuneScape Guide
Welcome back to Gielinor. A guide for new and returning players.
Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is the official legacy version of the game, based on a 2007 backup but with years of new content.
Getting Started
We recommend starting with the Adventurer's Path quest line in Lumbridge. It guides you through the basics.
Client
Use RuneLite (via the official Jagex Launcher). It provides essential plugins like GPU rendering, Quest Helper, and XP trackers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it the same as 2007?
The core mechanics are, but there are thousands of new items, bosses, and entire new regions like Kourend and Varlamore.
Should I play Ironman?
Ironman Mode (no trading) is very popular but challenging. For a first character, a main account is recommended to learn the game.
