1. Complete All F2P Quests
Before you embark on your membership journey in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), it’s crucial to complete all the free-to-play (F2P) quests. These quests provide valuable experience points (XP) and unlock new areas and abilities. Quests like “Goblin Diplomacy,” “Sheep Shearer,” and “Misthalin Mystery” boost crafting XP, while others like “Vampire Slayer” offer valuable combat experience points. Completing the most challenging F2P quest, “Dragon Slayer,” grants a whopping 18,650 defense XP, the highest reward from any quest. This achievement also grants you the ability to equip rune and green dragonhide armor, significant milestones in your F2P journey.
2. Upgrade Armor
To ensure you’re adequately equipped for the challenges ahead, acquiring two essential sets of F2P armor is paramount: full rune armor and full green dragonhide armor. Full rune armor is ideal for melee combat, while full green dragonhide armor is the go-to for ranged training. These sets can be purchased from the Grand Exchange, but they require a significant investment of gold.
3. Upgrade Gear
Upgrading your weapons and gear is crucial for efficient training. Aim for a Rune Scimitar for melee combat and a Maple Shortbow with Adamant Arrows for ranged training. Additionally, equip yourself with the best tools: a Rune Pickaxe for mining, a Rune Axe for woodcutting, and Fishing and Fly Fishing Rods for fishing. Investing in these upgrades will significantly boost your progress in various skills.
4. Stronghold of Security
Conquer the Stronghold of Security, located in Barbarian Village. This early-game dungeon offers a chance to earn valuable gold, culminating in the Fancy Boots, the best boots for melee training in F2P. Before venturing into the dungeon, level up your combat skills for a smoother experience.
5. Level Up General Skills
Level up essential general skills to a base of 20 across all stats, except Runecrafting, which you can save for membership. Focus on gathering skills like woodcutting, mining, fishing, and fire making, aiming for levels between 30-40. Leave skills like smithing, crafting, and cooking for membership, and consider the tedious nature of Runecrafting and Prayer, saving them for your membership experience.
6. Level Up Combat Skills
Boost your combat skills to a base stat of 40-60 for attack, strength, defense, range, and hit points. This preparation is crucial before attempting the Dragon Slayer quest, ensuring a smoother progression in your F2P journey. Choose optimal training locations for melee and ranged combat, gradually progressing to more challenging foes as your skills improve.
7. Level Up Magic
Invest in leveling up your magic skill to at least 55. This unlocks the high alchemy spell and various teleport spells, offering invaluable utility for both F2P and members. Efficiently train magic by starting with low-level spells on creatures like cows and progressing to more powerful spells as your level increases.
8. Save Up Money
Diligently save up your in-game gold for a membership bond. At the time of writing, a bond costs around 9 million gold, a substantial sum that requires strategic money-making methods. Explore F2P moneymaking opportunities, such as crafting jewelry, high-arching profitable items, or cooking pizzas. For those looking to expedite the process, real-world currency can be used to purchase membership, but there’s a unique satisfaction in earning your very own bond.
By accomplishing these eight key tasks in F2P OSRS, you’ll be well-prepared for your membership journey. Maximize your time, hone your skills, and embark on your OSRS membership experience equipped for the exciting adventures that await. Happy scaping!
