So, I am completely new to Osrs, never played before and have zero clue at all.

Been playing on mobile, skilling and killing around, mainly hanging around the starting town so far and leveling different skills.

Got all combat skills 20+ including ranged, mining 32, smithing 16, wc 17, firemakig 19, fishing 18, cooking 23, prayer 16 and magic 9 so far.

Done a few easy quests with the help of the wiki quest list, running around is really annoying though through constant lack of stamina.

Are there any general tips on what to avoid/do early.

Currently in the first demon slayer quest and thought I get the restless ghost quest done while running from Varrock to the tower, not sure what to do after that.

I mainly enjoy skilling/grinding and building up gold/decent gear.

Still confused about the clue scrolls and what to do with them for example.

Not looking to be the most efficient or progress the fastest, I mainly want to avoid rookie mistakes that would make life more difficult then it would be necessary.

Really there's no mistakes you can do that will hurt you. Any gains is gains. Best part of the game is just doin whatever havin fun and figuring it out. Clues are just fun side items. Like if says to go to a location you head there with a spade and dig. And you do a few clue steps get random items based off the tier of the clue. But ya nothing will ever set you back besides dying but you can't even lose your stuff less you really mess up and die twice in certain areas without claiming your things

I think you should play on runelite for the clue scrolls, and probably other things too.
There's this clue plugin that tells you what the next step of the clue is, or else I'd probably not even bother with doing them unless they were elite.
I played mobile on my phone, it would probably be better if I used a tablet and had it optimized, but I can't really see doing much other than skilling on mobile.

Explore the game, don't search for best gp/hour, focus on quest development ,

Do not buy/sell osrs gold here, it ruins the fun until you hit really end game.

The issue about clues was, that I was running around without a spade.
Clearly clueless with clues.
Very bad pun intended.

Had no death yet, though the mages in demon slayer quest hurt quiet a bit with full mithril meele armors :rolleyes:

So far I just play, though I also downloaded it on my laptop for some questing when I am tired of playing on mobile.
Plugins are maybe something for later, so far I just play without, for the first time I bumble around with the clues and maybe read up some stuff, if I do them more often I might consider the plug in. Read about scroll drop trick and that sounds just way too much work juggling around for a game for me.

Stupid question, but what is the gp value displayed for every item displayed, gp?

Otherwise not trying any trading in the short run and not gonna excessively farm, though it would be good to know where a beginner can farm some gold to spend in the beginning.

The gp value is the grand exchange current rate. Then at the end it will say ha value. Which is high alchemy a level 55 spell which melts items for gold

Teleporting is the fastest way to get around. A decent magic level and some teleport jewelry will be your best friend early on.

43 pray is a must for protection prays and it will help you through all early game quests.

Good to know, lvl 55 spell means lvl 55 magic required, correct?

I appreciate the offer, for now I am just exploring on my own very infrequently and google stuff I can't figure out, questing and skilling whatever I feel like. Currently I am into agility training, trying out other skills after that and after I figure out how to train them.

Teleporting is the fastest way to get around. A decent magic level and some teleport jewelry will be your best friend early on.

43 pray is a must for protection prays and it will help you through all early game quests.


Still trying to figure out how to get runes for magic, runecrafting is the next skill I will try to figure out.
Mining pure essence in preparation for that, switching between varrok agility rooftops and mining pure essence, when I banked enough essence I will try the crafting.

Teleport I have the teleport book that gets you close to varrok, that helps already.

Do all f2p quests then get members after is usually a good start. :)


I got myself members already, when I am at a level I earn enough gold I will try to get myself some bonds.
