[2022] I am new what are the first thing I should be doing? (non premium)

I posted this in a thread asking a similar question two weeks ago or so. I think it's still useful advice:

What sort of gamer are you?

I’d encourage you to just have fun with it! Look at your Quest log and use that to inform what you train and work on. Make friends, be social. But be wary of anybody promising things which sound too good to be true.

That said, if you have a history of playing MMOs and you want to get to the good stuff you could follow this: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Optimal\_quest\_guide. You’ll still have fun, but it’s streamlined fun…

Membership really opens up the rest of the game, but I wouldn’t rush into it. If you have an Amazon Prime/Prime Gaming account you can get 7 days membership for ‘free’, so keep that in mind. I think that promotion ends in early January.
