Runescape has had quite a few tutorials for new players over the years. Who else remembers the ones where you had to kill a dragon in a cellar of a Lumbridge house? Quite the start for a neophyte adventurer, I must say.  But while there have been many tutorials in Runescape, none are as iconic […]

Making money in Runescape back in the day wasn’t easy. We had no Grand Exchange where we could instantly sell any tradeable item in the game. Instead, you had to camp out back of Varrock East Bank, spamming “Flash2: Bank sale!” and hope someone around wanted to buy what you were selling. Then I became a

Intro Slayer brings out the very best of combat in Runescape. There’s a ton of variety in the monsters you slay, and it’s a great way to pick up some new favorite training spots. It’s one of the best ways to make some GP. If you aren’t ready to take on raids or any of

Intro Woodcutting was probably my favorite non-combat skill as a kid. It was so easy to get into right off Tutorial Island. You had regular trees and oaks right behind Lumbridge Castle, and you could buy up to a steel axe from Bob’s Axes. When you hit level 30 Woodcutting, you could skip over to

It wouldn’t be a fantasy MMORPG without some good, old-fashioned witches. I’m talking the unpleasant to look at, long-chinned, warty nose kinds you’d find in The Wizard of Oz.  Well, Dorothy, you’re not in Kansas anymore; you’re in Gielinor. A lot of these witches, you should probably give a wide berth. They might put you

Intro While some monsters in Gielinor exist by their lonesome, most monsters belong to a specific race with different species within that race. One such race is the giants.  Of the various giants in Runescape, I would have to say that the moss giants are my favorites. There’s just something about giant tree men who

Intro When I was a nooby kid playing Runescape back in the day, I always thought Black Knights were the coolest looking dudes in Gielinor. Part of it was due to how hard black equipment generally was to obtain back then (Remember that there used to be a time when the Grand Exchange didn’t exist).

If someone were to ask you about the most iconic monsters in Runescape, what would be the first to come to mind? King Black Dragon? Daggonoth Kings? Vorkath? Goblins? As for me, I can’t talk about the classics without including good old Green dragons. Primarily members-only, Green dragons have a storied history, several variations, and

Intro Throughout your journey across Runescape, you will obtain a lot of keys. Many are quest-specific, and you or the Wise Old Man can dump them when the quest is complete. Others are worth keeping around on a steel key ring for regular use (Like the Dusty and Brass keys). But there are some keys

Intro For many players, myself included, the Slayer skill is the most enjoyable part of combat in OSRS. I remember my first Slayer grind in Runescape. Making my way through the handful of Slayer masters spread across Gielinor, killing anything they asked me to. Sometimes, I got dud tasks like Pyrefiends or Mogres. But other
