[2020] Newbie here, question on quest path help

So the first few quests I did, there was a super helpful dotted line showing me where I needed to go for the next step in my quests. After I played a few hours, the line disappeared. I'm not sure what I did. I select a quest and nothing happens.

No help in letting me know where to go next. I've tried messing with the options and clicking on the quests a hundred different ways. What am I doing wrong?

The quests also don't update anymore when I complete a step. For example, in the above picture, it says to talk to Morgan. I talk to Morgan and then it doesn't update. Just keeps saying I need to talk to Morgan. Morgan tells me to go to some Inn, but I have no idea where this Inn is because there is no help in getting there. Tried searching on the world map, but no help there. I searched "inn" on the map and I guess there are no Inns on the map because it comes back with zero results. I can't see any special marker letting me know where the inn or next step in the quest is. So I wandered around for 20 minutes, got frustrated, and quit.

Help! How do I turn the quest pathfinding back on to make these tasks less of a slog? Thank you!

To add to the excellent advice in this thread (thanks, guys!)...

The breadcrumb trail has a limited render distance (about 20 tiles from your destination). You're in Lumbridge and Draynor's the adjacent village to the west.

Since you have a path achievement selected, you should have an arrow on your minimap pointing in that direction when you're too far away for breadcrumbs.

If you open your worldmap (globe attached to your minimap), there should be a path objective indicator at your destination.

You can also double-click a place on your worldmap to set your own custom blue marker on your minimap to that destination.

As others have noted, the path system doesn't tell you step by step how to complete RuneScape's quests; just where to start a few suitably novice quests.

Part of the joy of RuneScape is that you explore its quests, pay attention to hints (your Adventures -> Quest journal helps keep track of your quest progress) and figure out how to solve the quests for yourself.

(Or you can use a guide if you're a...Gertrude's cat. Many of the quests you're going to complete are nearly 20 years old, so they're a product of a different era and the solutions can be obtuse. In addition to the excellent wiki quest guides mentioned, ImSikovit on YouTube has video guides how to complete every quest step-by-step.)

It's a good sign that you're starting to run out of step-by-step paths. Congrats, the training wheels are coming off, you're deep down the rabbit hole, and can start playing RuneScape the way it was intended!
