RuneScape of the early 2000s has been recreated and released by its creators. This version isn’t as updated, but still offers a nostalgic journey for players who want to experience what it was like before modern graphics became so popular in gaming.
If you’re bored with your current game and are in need of a change, I recommend creating an Old School RuneScape account as this version has all the nostalgia you can handle. So how do you get started in playing this RuneScape version?

Character Creation And Learning At Tutorial Island
I remember I was so excited to get my first ever account set up and start playing RuneScape, but when it came time for the tutorial…I just wanted to skip through all of that talking. But now I see how important this introduction is!
The Tutorial Island in Old School RS gives new players a really good idea about what they have signed themselves into. Throughout this guide, players will walk through each of the main mechanics in the game that they need to know. This way you can get ahead early on and have a better understanding of how to play Old School RuneScape.
Different OSRS Skills
The skills of Old School RuneScape are wide and varied, from smithing to fishing! With 23 different skills in the game that you can make your character train for. Starting at the lowest level means that anyone has an opportunity for success – even beginners!
Notable Skills To Train In Old School RuneScape
Attack – By mastering the attack skill, you can increase your melee accuracy. When fighting up close and personal with enemies, this is an essential skill to learn!
Defense – When you level up your defense, it allows you to wear higher quality armor and decreases the chance of being hit by attacks. Defense is one of those skills that increase combat levels so make sure to keep leveling it up when possible.
Prayer – The Prayer skill grants players new prayers that help them in the game. As they increase their prayer level, a player will earn an increased boost in other OSRS skills.
Ranged – Training this skill is a great way to get an edge on your opponents and give yourself better chances of winning battles. If you’re looking to attack enemies from afar, then it would make sense to level up your Ranged skill.
Runecrafting – When players level up this skill, they are able to craft better quality Runes. These runes can be used for spell casting and crafting powerful items. This is also a great skill to have to make more OSRS gold, the currency that you’ll be using in the game.
Magic – Magic is a powerful skill that can be used in many different ways. Players should level up their magic skills if they wish to use crafting, teleportation, and defense spells.
Mining – Mining is one of the best ways to make money in-game. You’ll be able to collect different kinds of ores and gemstones, which can then be sold for a profit or used on crafting projects.
Do Some OSRS Quests
When you start up Old School RuneScape, it can be a bit daunting to find your footing in this huge world. You’re able to go out and begin working on different quests if you want though- all that’s left is figuring which one.
Here are some beginner-friendly OSRS quests that you should try out first:
- Waterfall Quest
- Pirate’s Treasure
- Doric’s Quest
- Ernest The Chicken
- Vampire Slayer
Each quest will give the player experience points for completing them so before picking any of these adventures, figure out what kind of character are trying to create by looking at the rewards each quest has available.
