I'm new to RS. I looked at a list of recommended quests, in order, and hoooooly crap, there's a lot of them. How do most people play? Do they mix in questing with combat and crafting grinds? How long do most of the core quests take to complete?
Thanks for any info!
External link →First up, welcome to RuneScape! It's great to have you here, and hope you're enjoying yourself.
Quests are my favourite part of the game, and there's a whole smorgasbord of them to choose from (as you point out), from funny, irreverent short quests to epic narratives. The quest pathing system will give you a good grounding in what to do at which point, but here are some of my favourite early quests - a mix of serious, one-offs, first of quest lines, and fun ones:
- Missing, Presumed Death (kick off to Sliske quest line)
- Song from the Depths (we actually did a live play-through of this recently - great audio)
- Broken Home (fantastic one-off horror-style quest)
- Vampyre Slayer (classic)
- Priest In Peril (entry to Morytania and Vampyre quest line)
- Plague City (kicks off the Elven quest line, which eventually leads to unlocking Prifddinas)
- A Soul's Bane (bit of a dated quest now, but interesting concept)
- One Piercing Note (fantastic audio, murder mystery-style)
Hope this helps!
not the best place to put this but have you all ever thought about making the default sorting for new players "Timeline" rather than "Difficulty". while there is some over lap in the two sorting methods, Timeline offers a much smoother and linear quest progression that I think might be really helpful to OP and other players new to questing?
I know I prefer it this way after trying it on my new account.
Edit: this sorting method also prevents players from feeling like they are being suggested Later Lore quests like Missing Presumed Death (A World Guardian Quest) when they are just a noob. Meeting the Gods and having them mention your great deeds when its your first quest is very off putting.
Tagging in /u/JagexStu, who has done a lot of this work in the past - I'll leave this with him to review!
Isn't Priest in Peril no longer required to access Mory?
TIL.
Broken home
I see you wish this person ill
It is a great quest. I will have nothing said against it.
