So like the title says, I've been comtemplating trying OSRS for a while now but I have no idea what I'm doing at all, honestly I don't even really know what the games about or contains past its skills. I did try OSRS once a long time ago when a friend convinced me but I got overwhelmed by everything and so I stopped, but ever since I've wanted to go back and really try to experience everything it has to offer. Watching some videos I can see just how much depth there is and it really intrigues me.

So really I was just wondering what if any advice/tips or guides to get started people would have for someone just starting out like myself. Apologies if this gets asked a lot or if this is the wrong place to ask but appreciate anyone who takes the time to help out!

Welcome! I came across this post and thought I would chime in since I’ll be overseeing this week’s game update. Coincidentally, this week’s game update includes the first phase of testing for a tool called the Activity Adviser (previously shared as “Content Recommender” in the Gazette). This tool basically provides suggestions of content to newer players based on their stats. With the aim of providing achievable goals for account progression to newer players who might get overwhelmed with all the content available. It’ll be rolled out for A/B testing this week meaning only selected accounts can test it, with a view to being opened up to everyone after we have seen more feedback. I think something like that could suit your needs. It just depends on whether your account gets in to the A/B testing group. More information will be shared in this weeks newspost on Wednesday for those who are interested and I’ll be very interested to see if it helps solve this problem that you’re having. In the meantime though the suggestions in this thread are great! Thanks to everyone who replied!
