OSRS New Player Guide 2025
A roadmap for your first week in Gielinor.
Old School RuneScape can be overwhelming. This guide simplifies your first steps.
First Steps
- Tutorial Island: Pay attention here, it teaches the basics.
- Adventure Paths: Speak into the Adventurer Jon in Lumbridge for tasks that give you free starter gear.
- Stronghold of Security: Head to Barbarian Village for a free 10k GP and fancy boots.
Essential Quests
Do Cook's Assistant, The Restless Ghost, and X Marks the Spot immediately. They are short and give great rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is membership worth it early?
Yes, mainly for the quests. Waterfall Quest (members only) boosts you to level 30 Attack/Strength instantly, skipping hours of grinding.
What skill should I train first?
Agility (if member) to restore run energy, or Fishing/Woodcutting for simple AFK money.
