RuneScape tips list

Back to guides

Here are some tips to play runescape from me and other players of runescape. ou can submit tips here.

Arigause:
- Try to get a high level to go in and get you blurite ore, ice giants are strong
- Be careful where you step, the wilderness can be dangerous and so can aggressive monsters

Bane3001:
- Always have food when fighting
- Never trade in the wilderness
- Always carry a hatchet and tinderbox to make fire in the wilderness
- If you're a newbie, stay near the edge of the wildernes or dont go in at all
- Do not attack someone higher than you

boss1000:
- if you need help finding most things, look at the map!
- go into the wilderness with either nothing or a lot of food
- don't go in the wilderness.
- learn how to change the color of text to get attention when selling something.
- when doing the "press 888" thing, don't over do it.
- begging never prospers.
- read these other tips, I can't put all the tips up!
- go to Varrock to sell weapons and armor, Dranor village to sell capes and ore/bars, and Falador to sell misc. items.
- trust only people you know, but you can trust most people here, because they put the time into helping you!
- Come to this site regularly, because it has everything you need!
- Help people, you could be rewarded greatly.
- Going into the wilderness with full armor and no food is called suicide.

Btbrian:
- If you are a newbie, don't go into the wilderness and try and get a map off of this site instead of trusting others who will probably take you to wilderness or a dungeon.
- To smuggle rum, use rum on crate then use bannanas on crate, then go to the shop in port sarim and get it from back.

Cheesefraek:
- always mine COAL in the wild at the skell mine , only take ur legs , plate and weapon with u , if u get attacked run and heal at the monastry and DONT ATTACK ANYONE!!
- If u r new and dont want to lose ur items only take ur plate , legs and long when u go into the wilderness and dont attack any1.

Dan The Kat:
- When you are ready to devote some time to get armor/weapons/money then now is the good time to start mining, you will find you can get money faster by selling the equipment you make, also, you can get a free pickaxe in the Barbarians' village so you won't end up asking to buy one at a mining site...
- The best place for staring to mine is the Falador area.  There's Doric's place, which has anvils.  If you can't complete Doric's quest for some reason ( as in lack of money for iron ores ) then there are some anvils in Varrock, not far away.  There is a mining area south of Falador which is not very far either.  Just follow the road south and to the west.  Oh, yeah!  There's a furnice place in Falador itself, used for smelting ores of course...

dentabus:
- Dont buy the bank vault key!
- Nobody wants your bloody cabbages!
- Greater demons are called greater demons for a reason
- Travel in groups of 3-4 in wild.Surround and decimate!

grizychicken:
-DO QUESTS they're an easy way to make mony and gain experience
-fight easy characters like MAN and RAT it's a good way to increase combat level
-bury all the bones you can find it's the only way to gain prayer pts
-a good way to make $ is to go to karamja and get a job shipping bananas you get 30gp every time
-when i was a noob i went into varrok sewer and DIED i lost all my noob stuff (3gp, bronze med, etc.) don't do that unless you don't care about what you're carying
-try everything once! some things are more fun than others and you'll never know which are which untill you try them all!

Haunt2x:
-Keep Running
-Run from enemies by going up or down a ladder
-Don't bite off more than you can chew (Don't Attack Strong enemies or people)
-Wilderness+nOOb=Bad
- Don't ask for directions your better off getting lost in the long run than getting people to lead you everywhere. Having a map on hand is also good.

HickeyBoy:
-When traveling into the wilderness avoid City nterances,(there crowded),people,and most impotantly travel along the coast.
-anybody can survive in the wilderness,i went to lvl 48 and i lived to tell the story(was a noob)

- if someone is not listening to you dont cuss at them because they might be talking to a friend or not be at their comp. at the moment so dont be rude just find someone else

jbwhitnall:
- Being semi-good in a number of skills is more useful then being really good in only one skill
- When training on combat, it's not always smartest to train on the strongest things you can find.  Note: the fast way to gain mining levels is by mining iron
- When in the wilderness.  Your character stops moving when you eat.  This is why you want to have quite a distance between you and someone chasing you before you eat
- When you are attacked by a pking group, they will assume you will try to run South.  Fake them out by running in any direction there's none of them.
- Mining/smithing is a useful skill to get money, but there are more important skills to train on
- Don't enter the wilderness with useless items
- Clans that have to give away free stuff to get members usually aren't good clans
- If it appears that your opponent has a lot of food and you are not damaging to much, don't bother

junkkari:
- Fight goblins when you are a newbie. Quite often they cary around useful things.
