New player starting guide!



First: This guide is for after you finish the tutorial. Upon finishing the tutorial you will be in a certain area near Lumbridge, there are a couple places to go to to get some starting money and helpful tips on the game! You will go from the area you are at after completing the tutorial this picture will show where you are and the next picture will show where you need to go, also if you want to place a marker just double click where you want it.

Second: If you followed the map, which all you have to do is click the globe icon and you will come up with the map of RuneScape. If you reached the destination you will see a place like the one in this next picture, you will go down there click on the skeleton to receive a book, I advise you read it to help you get through the dungeon, I will continue updating this guide for more, and more content.

Third: Once you have done that and have exited the dungeon and have received the money for completing it, this next picture will guide you to the next dungeon that you can receive a very nice pair of gloves and 10,000 pieces of gold to help you in your RuneScape adventure, and what it should look like when you reach the destination, just go through this dungeon until you are able to get the reward.

Edgegamers runescape guide -- Merged with new player guide

edgegamersRunescape guide by lt.thomas Part1: The Basics

in these guides i will share with you my experience as a runescape players that i have
had over the 5 years i have been playing. il be telling you about how you can become a sucsessfull
runescape player even though your a lev 3 who just started playing. if you have something you would like to share
feel free to pm me and maybe it will end up in the next part:)

Note:
-i will be focusing on non member playing here since i only were member for a month
- everything in here comes from personal experiences, things ive been told or that ive read and tried out to check
the potential of the tips

here we will be covering
The New guy on the block
Money
three tips the pro are hiding.. or so they say
Things to avoid
bullies and you

ok then lets get started with chapter 1

Chapter 1: The new guy on the block

ok so you probably just finished the unstable fundations quest and are ready to enter
the world outside rodericks basement. The first i would reccomend for you to train on is
chickens as they in level 3 gives decent xp and they hit you rarely, and if they do hit you
their attacks will be extremely weak. as your defence raises along with attack and strenght
you can go over to cows, but beware they have a much higher chance of harming you.
if you get tired of training you can allways go do something else and return to your training
later. its important that you level in your pace, dont stress about it. Just relx, lower your
shoulders and have fun while you level up

Chapter2: Money
The way to millions of gold in runescape are limitless and ecxiting. BUT.... before we start
i would like to give an advice that you ALLWAYS should remember "don't ever ask for money"

by doing so you tell people these three things"
- " you don't respect yourself enough to make your own money"
- " you only respect people regarding the ammount of cash they have"
- " you want to take advantage of other players"

people may say they don't have the time to make their own money but the truth is in the time
they use to stand around grand exchange spamming for money, they could easily make about three times
as much just by doing some easy tasks

for beginners i would reccomend either to chop tree or gather cowhides, both are exelent for beginners.
if you decide to aim for high woodcutting level i would like to give you a tip "when you reach lev 30
stay on the oaks as it gives better xp per hour than willow":

-when im out making money i allways do a little research on whats worth
merching (see the next chapter if you dont know how merching works)

pvping can give you insane ammounts of cash, however there is a risk of loosing a lot as well and works best at high level here is an example:

if you manage to kill 10 people with rune armor with in an hour (without dying or by storing them in the bank) you will earn
186,5kX10= 1865000 gold in an hour

i would like to say that if you choose to do this you're either crazy, are a good pker/survier or have money to throw around you :P

its allways good to use the forums to see if people need lots of one item.
using the forums is a gold mine

also being honest with the price when your selling equals win win for both parts.

Chapter 3: Three tings the pros are hiding.... or so they say

1. NEVER BUY, invest for returns... no matter how much the item costs

2. Think of all items in terms of their worth in gp

3. Buy items in bulks for low ammount and money, sell for high ammounts and
you have profit (merchanting)


Chapter 4: Things to avoid

Here i will tell you the things you definatly want to avoid while playing as it may get you in severe trouble. many of you might say "well duh" or something but i feel its important that everyone knows this as it is extra important

- breaking rules or federal laws
- buying, selling or sharing accounts
- begging for money as mentioned in chapter 2
- Use bots or macros
- use obscene or racist language
- giving out personal informaton (you never know if the person in the other end is who he claims to be
- taking part ot attempt to scam people for account or money

these things are only a few of the things to avoid, but they are also the most important, if you do any of the things above you might find your self muted, perma muted or in worst case banned/ip banned from jagex sites

note: you should never risk your valuable items for a mere screenshot, as its a big chance you might die. its not an offence to anyone in any way but i thought it should be on the list of things to avoid

chapter5: Bullies and you
ok its the last chapter, which is good cause my arms are tired from all this typing :P

along the way to sucsess you will allways meet people who think they can push people around and be outright mean to others. Its inevitable to avoid it, somewhere along the road you will be they guy they are wailing on.. its important to remember to keep your cool and calm, do not answer them back in a angry tone since that might be what they want you to. what i allways do is to try to stop bothering me by saying forexample "can you please stop being a bully"? i allways try to make them see their actions from my perspective. they got to know the consequences for their actions so i usually give them a choise, either they stop or i report.. its allways important to avoid a fight which might get you too in trouble, in the worst cases where real life threats are involved ALLWAYS REPORT IT TO JAGEX ASWELL AS TO AN ADULT OR TO THE POLICE, they have no right to make you feel uncomortable when you play..


i hope you enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it. you now know the basic tricks to become amongst the very best runescape players
feedback will be appreciated, and untill next post....

lt.thomas out :)
