Runescape Guide

The world of RuneScape is huge, not only in terms of territory but in terms of information.  Players will need to learn about quests, skills, combat, magic, and more if they want to survive in the magical world.  One of the best ways for new players to learn about the world of RuneScape and the abilities they will need to master is to find a RuneScape guide.

There are a number of guides available on the internet.  The most basic ones are located on the official RuneScape webpage, www.runescape.com.  The guides here mainly deal with getting started, so new players should read them to learn the basics of RuneScape.  A few other guides are posted here, as well, including a troubleshooting guide and a safety guide. 

Many fan-created websites host guides for a number of things.  Players can quickly find a huge amount of information by doing an internet search.  Hundreds of pages will come up, including Sals Realm of RuneScape (http://runescape.salmoneus.net/) and Rune Tips (http://www.tip.it/runescape/), both of which host guides and many other helpful documents.

There are several different types of guides available.  Players who are busy completing all of the quests available in RuneScape will want to read and study the quest guides.  These guides take the basic quest information available on runescape.com and expand upon it, creating a step-by-step checklist for players to use when questing.  They also list in detail the rewards and the dangers so players can decide if the quest is really worth doing.

Another set of useful guides are the skill guides.  These guides go into detail on every aspect of each skill, listing the basics, information about items needed, locations to practice the skill, and other helpful information.  Players looking to increase their characters skills should definitely take a look at a few skill guides to get an idea of the best strategy for gaining skill experience.

While quest and skill guides are the most plentiful, many other guides are available.  In-depth guides for each of the RuneScape mini-games exist to help players master them, and there are guides written specifically for each city in RuneScape as well as guild guides.  General guides are also available, although these are usually written to help beginners learn how to play the game. 

All of the guides found on fan-run websites are written by players for players, and many are the direct result of hours of RuneScape play.  Players looking for help with quests, skills, or just about any aspect of the world of RuneScape should be able to find a guide to help them.
