I have a DISCORD get in here!

Unless someone enjoys grinding games and having to look stuff up even more, I'm not sure I'd recommend making an Ironman to a brand-new player. You can still be self-sufficient on a normal account, without being forced to get absolutely everything yourself if you don't want to. This game is already massively overwhelming for new players on regular accounts.

if you have Protean skilling or normal items for other skilling skills, train in Menaphos to also gain xp for the area as well as the skill. I've used this for a long time, Menaphos area requires xp to unlock the VIP skilling area, etc. But requires a quest to get in the area.

I pull up wiki first before I even launch the game. That's how useful it is.

As someone that quit in 2015 with a maxed account [1 month after Priff released], came back during FSW with a new account and helping my girlfriend play for the first time - here are some things I've learned again in in the few months I've been playing.

1. The economy - It is completely out of wack and near impossible for a new player to get BiS within a month or so of playing. Focus on better weapons first, then work towards getting the good armor.
2. Abilities - Overwhelming amount of wealth poured into different Codex's for new abilities, that I don't really know if I'll need or not. Still trying to figure these out.
3. Skills vs PVM - Work on your skills first, make some gold & get some decent armor. Start small with PVM, don't jump into the big bosses right away. Learn the mechanics of your abilities and the bosses.
4. Quest - Complete these right away, as they will give your account a path. You'll level up skills to a good base, unlock new lands and other cool things.
5. Mini-Games & DNDs - Do these, they unlock good rewards such as skilling outfits.
6. Ed3 or The Shadow Reef - Cheese way of training your combat skills at an insane rate with a group. You can get 99s in a few days, maybe less.
7. Different methods - Tons of cool skilling methods, do them and don't worry about where you'll get the best experience all the time. Do what you enjoy.
8. MTX - It isn't as bad as people said it was, and doesn't really bother me too much, and shouldn't bother you.
9. Community - From what I've experienced so far, the community also isn't as bad as other people think it is, and yes most will interact with you if you are friendly.

I missed out alot, but this game is massive and is only growing.

I use F for Surge because that was my keybind for flash on LoL 😂 works like a charm.

[Shroudey]

I'm not even kidding, I take somewhat frequent breaks, and what I do when I come back is watch a handful of your vids to catch back up lol, first patch notes vids and then any videos relating to new content, works like a charm for me, but then my breaks are usually only a few weeks at a time lol

[EyespenNoFear]

I came back to do Fort Forinthry using the one week free membership from Prime. My membership expired yesterday, and I was more relieved than sad. I'll probably come back when the new skill is released.
I still watch videos from some of the great content creators tho 😊

i have an account from waay before EoC and i've been dabbling with the idea of attempting to get back into it, but tbh i have no idea where to start with what i've had done before, so im honestly leaning towards making a new account entirely and following one of those efficiency guides. As much as i'd prefer to use the account i have, i just have no real idea on where to focus, i've just mainly been f2p just smithing and hoarding bonds

[Furqxx]

This is my sign to make a comeback in 2023, just what I needed Init thanks <3

[Brujo]

I haven’t played in 5 years but I’m thinking of getting back into the game again

[GrubbsandWyrm]

Just came back a couple weeks ago after years away. I was completely confused before i left, and i started a new account so i could fix what i did wrong.

Tips: don't start a lot of quests at once. It gets incredibly confusing.

Organize your bank tabs.

Start cooking early. It's a necessary skill.

Make notes. I keep a notebook just to keep track of things that i'm doing that i'll forget. Like, i know i need mithril grappling hooks for agility, but i'll forget. Or quest notes.

Also, put the genie lamps or xp that you can decide where it goes on skills you don't enjoy working. I hate construction, but I want the bonuses, so I put them in there

[pengwinz]

I enjoy playing games and learning games. Not reading wiki. So dont worry about learning yourself and enjoying the game. Great video with no spoilers or guides. Great job!

[arneverdonk]

As a returning player I imagine that archeology can be a bit complex (it was for me atlest) as it isn't a straightforward skill like woodcutting. You get more artifacts then you can repair with the materials you get and it is not straightforward what to do with it. I am a player that doens't like to throw mountains of cash at a skill so I want to give one tip that would have helped me from the start:

Focus on completing collections, do all the collections atleast ones, and then pick one to repeat if you need more exp.
The chrononotes you get from completing collections are worth more then the materials required to make the items so it's fine to buy the materials to complete the items.

Alternatively a lot of the (lower level) artifacts can be disassembled for ancient components for some profit or net zero.

Anyway, repair a lot of your artifacts from the start, don't let them sit unrepaired in your bank. You will need to have repaired 1000 to get guildmaster qualifications.

great video!!! thank you! im returning after 12 years. love being back. i enjoy playing iron man style, but not in the offical way. lol im trying to start runecrafting to make get my mge lvl up. there is so much to take in for just runecrafting. idk where to start. like rune essence vs pure essence. the pouches, best locations. but with that said. i love being back!

[mothylaced]

thank you! i just started runescape and im having tons of fun!

[zwbailey]

As a new Runescape player, this has been a wonderful guide. Thank you for sharing!

[Real_Iceout]

Thank you! I haven’t played in over a decade. There is so much to catch up on

[Crusher]

I train all skills together. Do I want 80 Fletching? Maybe, then I will get each and every skill to 80. Then I move on to 90. No issues.

[SpecialGamer]

This all made a lot of sense for a returning player that has 90+ on everything. Thank you. I subbed.

[Machka]

I have just decided to return after almost 10 years, and I am about to purchase the membership and all. I don't know where to start though lol, I should probably learn the mechanics of new fighting and level up the new skills that came out in the meantime. My bank is full of stuff that I need to relearn what it is used for, how to teleport to places quickly, catch up on 150ish new quests so that I can wear my questcape again, etc.
