RuneScape F2P quests Guide

Congratulations on getting a RuneScape membership! Pay to Play (P2P) offers a huge new universe for members to explore, including tons of cities, dungeons, monsters, skills, quests, money-making, and more!

This guide will discuss some new travel possibilities, recommend some quests that are helpful to new members, address starting each of the new member skills available (Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Hunter, Slayer, Summoning and Thieving), and discuss other member features encountered while becoming acquainted with the wider domain of RuneScape P2P.

When reviewing the many helpful Tip.It guides, be reminded: as a member, the "shaded" members items in tables are available to you!

Getting Around and New Areas to Explore

Enchanted jewellery transports are a significant member advantage. The Getting Around Guide lists the various methods of transportation available in RuneScape, most of which are exclusive to members, though some transportation methods such as Gnome gliders, Spirit trees, Fairy rings, Balloons and many others have quest requirements.

An early issue confronting new members is "How do I get to the member areas?" Below follow a few easy to reach borders. On Karamja, just walk west to the Brimhaven gate. Then you can head north and pay 30 gp to take the ship to Ardougne, home of the Market Square thieving area.

From Falador, just walk west of Doric's house to pass through the member gate into Taverley.

From the Crafting Guild south-west of Falador, walk north through the member gate next to the Makeover Mage to head towards Taverley (past the famous "Members'" Dungeon).

Alternatively, from Varrock walk North-East, through the member gate near the lumber mill.

Skills

The members-only skills are Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Hunter, Slayer, Summoning and Thieving.

To start training Agility, go to the Tree Gnome Stronghold Agility course. Agility is helpful for short cuts which get you around faster, and in numerous quests. With increased Agility, you also have more energy so you can run longer (good for getting places, and an advantage in the Wilderness!) Run energy is discussed in the Getting Around Guide. You can improve your run energy by getting some boots of lightness from the Temple of Ikov north of the Ardougne farming patches (the quest is not required) - simply take a lit candle and a slashing weapon (such as a dagger or sword) into the temple, then go west and down the stairs. Slash the web in front of the only red dot in the room, and grab several pairs of the boots to keep backups.

To start training the Construction skill, go to an Estate Agent office in Varrock, Falador, Seers' Village, or East Ardougne (locations shown in guide). Purchase a house for 1K, and follow the Construction Guide Beginner's Walkthrough for step by step instructions to achieve level 5. Use Tip.It's handy, unique and sortable Construction Table to learn what you can build at each level, including the materials and other requirements for each item.

To start Farming, you need some potato seeds. Buy seeds from the Grand Exchange or go to Draynor Village market square to buy some seeds from Olivia's stall (or steal them if your Thieving is 10 or higher). Then go north-west to the farm located north of Port Sarim's bar, just south-east of Falador. Inside you can buy most of the Farming equipment you will need (a Seed dibber, a Rake, and a Watering can) for very little money (less than 100 gp). Fill your Watering can at the Sink or Rain barrel. Proceed north outside and hop the stile to the farming patch, then follow the instructions in Tip.It's Farming guide to plant your first crop. Please note that a number of quests and other requirements are very useful in farming. These are listed in the guide's introduction.

To start Thieving, pickpocket Men (level 2) and Women (level 2) until your Thieving reaches 5 or 10. Then you'll want to travel to Ardougne market square, the RS thieving mecca. See the Thieving skill guide.

To train the Summoning skill, consider completing the Wolf Whistle quest. Not only will it explain to you the basics of the skill, it will also reward you with XP and a good number of ingredients (275 gold charms) to jump-start your training. For more information, consult the Summoning guide.

All F2P skills have portions that are members-only. To learn about these added member techniques, check any of Tip.It's Skill Guides and look for sections marked "members only", items marked with an asterisk *, or for table rows highlighted in grey. For example, member includes the art of glassblowing, to create various useful glass items and earn crafting xp. New members may want to sail from Port Sarim to Entrana (don't bring any weapons or stat-boosting gear) to learn about this from Fritz the Glassblower. Other members-only Crafting abilities include making dragonhide and snakeskin armour, spinning flax into bowstrings, making battlestaves, and more.

Quests

Unlike in F2p, there are many quests available in P2p. Below are some of the "basic" quests of which it is recommended you do them to unlock basic areas and skills. Please note that these are in no particular order.

The Druidic Ritual quest will give you a headstart in the Herblore Skill, and many useful quests that require this skill, such as the Fairy Tale series of which the second quest gives Fairy Ring access.

The Grand Tree quest unlocks Gnome Gliders, and the Tree Gnome Village quest unlocks Spirit Trees.

The Wolf Whistle quest rewards you with 275 gold charms, which will be useful in jump-starting your training of the Summoning Skill, which is needed for many other quests

The Fishing Contest quest will allow you to bypass climbing over White Wolf Mountain (with its' many hostile level 30+ wolves) when travelling between Taverley and Catherby.

The Priest in Peril quest introduces the Morytania region (east of Varrock). It also unlocks the Ghosts Ahoy quest, which offers a teleport to the far east and further advancement in the game.

The Fairy Tale Part II - Cure a Queen quest gives Fairy Ring access. Fairy rings are a very useful when starting the Hunting skill.

The Regicide quest unlocks the elven land of Tirannwn, but it's a higher-level quest: the fourth in a series which starts with the Plague City quest.
