Old School RuneScape is a throwback to the classic version of RuneScape, reminiscent of how the game was in 2007. The MMORPG stands out as the only one in the world shaped by its player base, with new content regularly added based on the community's votes.

With over 300 million players enjoying it since its inception in 2001, Old School RuneScape blends modern MMO mechanics with the nostalgic point-and-click gameplay of early RPGs. Players engage in epic battles against fearsome bosses across various raiding encounters like the Chambers of Xeric, the Theatre of Blood, and the Tombs of Amascut.

The game offers an innovative cross-platform gameplay experience, allowing seamless progression between mobile and desktop devices using the same account and shared game worlds. Community input heavily influences the game’s development, with players having voted on over 2,800 decisions since 2013, shaping the ever-evolving world of Old School RuneScape.

Players can choose their own path in the game, whether embarking on solo adventures or teaming up with others to tackle challenges. With 23 skills to master, numerous quests filled with lore, and a variety of raids and bosses to defeat, there is something for everyone in Old School RuneScape.

Delve into the vast world of Gielinor, including uncharted territories like Fossil Island, the lush Karamjan jungle, and the arid Kharidian desert. Experience the thrill of completing intricate quests that mix puzzles, captivating narratives, and nostalgic humor.

While the game is free-to-play, subscribing unlocks a host of benefits such as access to a larger world map, epic combat encounters, additional skills, more quests, extra bank slots, and much more, all covered under one monthly fee.

Beginner’s Guide

Skills to focus on

Old School RuneScape

As mentioned earlier, some quests will require you to hit a certain skill level before you’re eligible to start. If you find yourself locked out of quests — or if you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend your time with OSRS — there are plenty of skills you can work on leveling. At the end of the day, there’s not a “best” way to level your character. Instead, just find a skill you like and start grinding away.

Old School RuneScape will let you reach max level in all skills, so don’t feel as if you’re missing out on one skill by leveling another. Still, if you’re looking to make some quick cash as a new player, it pays off to focus on these three abilities:

Fishing

Woodcutting

Mining

As for leveling up your Combat skills, we’d recommend Attack, Strength, and Defense — in that specific order. You’ll also want to equip the best weapons available at your current level, as it’ll provide you with a massive boost in damage output and increase your XP gain rate.

Start following an Adventure Path

If you’re a new OSRS player, you’ll have the option to follow specific Adventure Paths. Talk with Adventurer Jon just north of Lumbridge and he’ll give you a few tasks to help acquaint you with the sprawling world of Gielinor. There’s no wrong option here — pick a few that look interesting and work toward completing them. Not only is it a great way to learn about the different mechanics at play in OSRS, but you’ll also be rewarded with some great beginner gear.

Places to explore

Old School RuneScape

An MMORPG is only as good as its open-world environment, and OSRS arguably has one of the best in the business. As a new player, you’re going to be pulled in a dozen different directions, but make sure you take a few moments to check out the following areas — each of which offers plenty of quests and NPCs to chat with.

Lumbridge

Varrock

Falador

Al Kharid

Draynor Village

Port Sarim

Seers’ Village (Members)

Ardougne (Members)

Kingdom of Great Kourend (Members)

Earning your first million on the Grand Exchange

Old School RuneScape

While you can make a bit of money selling your unwanted items to an NPC, the best way to earn gold in Old School RuneScape is by using the Grand Exchange. Found just northwest of Varrock, the Grand Exchange is essentially a massive online marketplace for other players. Simply pick an item you want to sell, choose a price — or go with the current average on the market — and put it up for sale. Other players can then purchase your items, which typically sell for much more than they would to an NPC.

It’ll take some time, but once you’ve sufficiently leveled up a few gathering skills, you can make fast cash using the Grand Exchange. It’s also a great way to pick up elusive items and gear that are only sold by a few across Gielinor.

    The app is really good but there are some bugs. Sometimes when you lose connection and log back in, it keeps trying to connect to the server forever. You have to close the app and try again to fix it. When the connection is bad, the app can kick you out without warning, even though you're still able to play. Also, clicking things in the app sometimes has a delay, causing you to click too many times or click the wrong thing.

    I had a terrible experience with a company's customer support. My account got stolen, and the person who took it set up an authenticator without changing the password. I can't get my account back, and the customer support keeps redirecting me to their unhelpful automated system. I'm disappointed since I pay for their service. I just want a refund now.

    Enjoy playing the game, but dislike dealing with the bugs. Reported the problem many times since it was first launched, but there haven't been any updates. The issue occurs when watching a YouTube video while playing the game, causing touch calibration problems where you need to tap lower than intended. It can be frustrating, especially when you're multitasking between following a quest guide and playing the game.

    When I first got this app, I used to play on my phone for hours, sometimes even choosing it over my computer. Lately though, the app keeps lagging. When I try to play a mini game, it freezes for a second and doesn't respond to where I tap, causing me to get hit and lose. I'm not sure if it's my phone or an issue with updates. Because of this, I've reduced how much I play and my membership is going unused.
