Exploring Lumbridge
During the tutorial, you should become relatively familiar with how to play RuneScape, but it's a good idea to get your bearings in Lumbridge before heading off into the wider lands.
Lumbridge contains many things to do. From here you can start to improve on those skills that you were taught to use in the tutorial: visit the shops, windmill and castle, kill some goblins or start a quest.
Be sure to talk to the tutors and the Lumbridge Guide who are scattered around Lumbridge. The tutors are there to help players advance their skills, and are able to provide players with information even if they are not new to the game.
If you can't see them, the tutors and the Lumbridge Guide can be identified by the 'question mark' symbol on the minimap.
Navigating RuneScape
RuneScape is a massive world, and it's pretty easy to get lost if you're new. To help you find your way around, you'll probably find the world map a useful tool. Simply click on the globe in the top-right of the game screen to open a map centered on your location.
Some important locations also feature signposts. You can use these to find out what cities or towns are nearby, along with some basic directions to get there. To read a signpost, simply click on it.
Warnings
As you travel about RuneScape you'll undoubtedly discover several places that can be hazardous, when you enter a warning will pop up, usually looking like the warning to the right. After you have visited these locations several times you will be able to turn the warnings off. If you'd prefer to have them turned on, you can visit the Doomsayer in Lumbridge.
Quests
There are different levels of quests in RuneScape - Novice, Intermediate, Experienced and Master.
To find the starting location of possible quests to begin, look for the Quest Start symbol on your minimap. You can read more about how to use the different maps in RuneScape by clicking here.
To start you off, there are selections of quests you can do in and around Lumbridge. We recommend the following:
Cook's Assistant
Start by speaking to the cook in the kitchen of Lumbridge Castle, which is on the ground floor.
The Restless Ghost
Start by speaking to the priest in the church opposite Lumbridge Castle.
Sheep Shearer
Start by speaking to the farmer in the house north-west of the sheep pen in the north of Lumbridge.
Rune Mysteries
Start by speaking to the Duke in Lumbridge Castle on the first floor.
Skills
When you first arrive in Lumbridge you may find that you need to obtain various items before you can start training your skills. To get yourself used to the skills used in RuneScape we recommend that you start by training the following skills:
Woodcutting
Once you get to Lumbridge you can immediately start to train this skill because the only item you'll require is a Woodcutting axe, which you can get by talking the Woodcutting tutor north of the Lumbridge Guide. This skill is useful because it enables you to obtain a ready supply of logs that you can burn to cook food, or fletch into bows and arrows.
Firemaking
This is one of the easiest skills to start training. All you need is a tinderbox and some logs. You can also get a tinderbox from the Woodcutting tutor just north of Lumbridge Castle. Firemaking is useful for cooking meat or fish when you are not near a Cooking range.
