This is a general guide for F2P Regular/Hardcore/ maybe Group Ironmen. However, you could probably use some of the methods for F2P Regular and Ultimate Ironmen accounts as well. This isn’t designed for efficiency or to show XP rates, but as a quick and easy (maybe I made this too detailed) starting point for new players. These methods will not be specific to using tick methods or alts, but if you can/want to, feel free to. If you do want more information on these things, check out the F2P wiki and regular OSRS wiki. There are more guides and people there, more knowledgeable than me on the F2P meta. I had the time and autism so might as well though.

https://www.f2p.wiki/links AND https://www.oldschool.runescape.wiki

Runelite Client
Before anything else, I would recommend using Runelite, a client for OSRS that I use. It has a lot of helpful plugins and details. Below is a link a guide allowing you to use it from Steam.
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2407133809
What is an Ironman?
An Ironman account means that you need to get every single item you receive yourself. You can’t use the Grand Exchange, trade with other players, and only able to purchase bonds. There are various exceptions to this rule. If you want specifics, there is a link to the wiki[oldschool.runescape.wiki]

Here is a quick summary of the other Ironmen.
Hardcore Ironmen are exactly like Normal Ironmen, but they can’t die, or they will lose their status and become an Regular Ironman.

Group Ironmen (recently added as of the post date) share a bank and can do things together.

Ultimate Ironmen are like Ironmen but can’t use a bank.
Below is a quick startup guide in case this one isn’t enough by Autumn Elegy:


Startup/Goals for Your Account
The best way to start a new account in Old School Runescape (OSRS) is by determining restrictions (which the ironman mode is) or goals you have for the account. This will drastically determine the way you play. If you’re entirely new to OSRS I would recommend making a regular account and doing all the F2P quests. Overall, though, you define the way you play the game.

In the next section I provide a F2P collection log in case you want one.

In order to “complete” F2P here is a list of things to do:

• Get 99 level in every skill available (an ordeal in itself)

  - Beekeeper Outfit
  - Zombie Outfit/Emotes
  - Lederhosen Outfit
  - Camo Outfit/Emotes
  - Stale Baguette
  - Mime Outfit/Emotes
  - Frog Tokens/Outfit
  
  
• All F2P Combat Achievements (14 of them listed in the Combat Skills section)

• Get all F2P Music Tracks (Obviously not going to list them, or will I? Just kidding. Or Am I? Nah I joke.)
  
  However here is a doc list put together by fe Kat[docs.google.com] from the F2P Wiki and a list from the OSRS Wiki[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
  
  
• Ornate Armor Set (Guide on how to get it below)
  https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415853256

Here are all the F2P Quests. I am going to list the requirements, required materials, rewards, and a video on how to complete it. They aren’t that bad to complete, so as long as you have all the required items on you, should be good. I tried to order them in a way I would do them and by difficulty. All the video quest guides are from Slayermusiq1. Just keep in mind that some of the teleports, potions, etc. are members.

P.S. I didn't add the combat levels and enemies needed to be avoided until the more difficult quest. If you need me to add em or if would be really helpful let me know.

Random events[oldschool.runescape.wiki] happen randomly (obviously) but you can manipulate the spawns with a few things. I know there are specifications for them but for that just check the wiki. Any way here are the events and if you should do them.

Old Man: This event can be 1 of the 3 below

• Maze:
  Awesome rewards. As long as you can do it above 70%, you are golden. In this event you have infinite stamina, so don’t stop running. You’ll get the hang of it eventually.
  
• Mime Show:
  You can get the Mime set and emotes here. After that I wouldn’t recommend. It takes too long for what you get.
  
• Gift:
  Do it, if you don’t get something you like/need, drop it.

Drill Demon:
Same as the Mime, get all cosmetics, then ignore.

Freaky Forester:
Same as the Drill Demon, get all cosmetics, then ignore. Cool area though.

Beekeeper:
Used to be one of the worst random events. It was broken. Never did it until they fixed it. Same as the Freaky Forester, get all cosmetics, then ignore.

Leo:
Same as the Beekeeper, get all cosmetics, then ignore.

Certers (Niles, Miles, and Giles):
Do it, if you don’t get something you like/need, drop it.

Evil Bob (Prison):
Do it, if you don’t get something you like/need, drop it.

Rick Turpentine:
Do it, if you don’t get something you like/need, drop it.

Pillory Guard:
Unless you hate having tomatoes thrown at you or hate tomatoes (clearly not Spanish then), do it. if you don’t get something you like/need, drop it.

Evil Bob (Island):
Cool area, that’s about it. I would only do it if your levels in Fishing or Magic levels are very low. Funny dialogue too.

Molly:
Do it, anything for Molly. Also, it gives gems.

Pinball (Flippa and Tilt):
Absolute banger of a song. It gives gems so DO IT.

Frog Prince/Princess:
Same as the Leo, get all cosmetics, but ignore if you want. The Frog tokens are a pretty good collectible. Might as well.

Capt'n Arnav:
Only do it at the beginning of the game when you have no money. The rewards become exponentially worse as time goes on.

Drunken Dwarf:
What a bro. You get a beer and a free kebab. Nuff said.

Sandwich Lady:
This lady spends her hours working diligently to supply you with a sandwich. The least you can do is accept her gift with gratitude. The “sandwiches” heal a slight bit of health. You can also save it as a collectible, treasuring it, as it is available nowhere else in the F2P world.

Quiz master:
This is another rewarding event. At the end, Regis Philbin will give you a choice, 1000 coins or a mystery box. Go for the mystery box or you’re a LOSER. This has a super rare chance (1/256 I believe) to give you the Stale Baguette (wonder who he got this from). The mystery box is bankable so another collector’s item.

Genie & Surprise Exam:
A staple of all region-locked accounts, great event. The lamps and books your get will give you some XP towards a specific skill, scaling to the level. It is recommended to put it towards Runecrafting, Prayer, or Smithing. You can’t bank the lamps or books, but the lamp (only) can remain in your inventory, and you can get multiple.

Travelling Options
Some methods to get around Gilenor.

• Home Teleport (to Lumbridge, has a 30-minute cooldown)

Changing your Spawn Location
Normally you spawn in Lumbridge. However, you can change it to either Edgeville or Ferox Enclave in F2P. If you want to get Lumbridge back, just talk to who changed your spawn point.
For Edgeville, speak to Krystilia and pay a one-time fee of 5 million GP or 5,000,000 coins
For the Ferox Enclave, speak to Ferox and pay a one-time fee of 5 million GP or 5,000,000 coins

Fashionscape
The best part of OSRS to some is the look of their character when traveling Gilenor. Here are some notable places or things to do to get adequately dressed.

• Random Events or Clue Scroll Uniques
  
• Ying-Yang amulet from the Makeover Mage
  
• Unlock the Alternative Home Teleport, Runefest Shield, and Premier Shield emote using the codes osrsrf2014, runefest17, and premierclub18 at Diango, Talk to him and you can get the Banana Hat.
  
• Unlock the event cosmetics from Diango (after completing that years respective event)
  
• The shop of Diango
  
• Diango
  
• Did I mention Diango?
  
• Thessalia’s Fine Clothes in Varrock
  
• The Grand Exchange (Just kidding, unless?...)

Potions
The only F2P Potions can be made at the Apothecary[oldschool.runescape.wiki] in Varrock. There are 4: Acne, Strength, Energy, and Antiposion. In order to get them from him, you need to give him ingredients and coins depending on the one you want, aside from the Acne one. Each has 4 charges.

• Potion
  
  • Just ask him for it, works 50% of the time
    
  • Provides a relief to itching
• Strength Potion
  
  • 5 gp
    
  • Limpwurt Root
    
  • Red Spiders’ Eggs (In Varrock Sewers close to the Moss Giants)
    
  • Provides Strength boost of 3 + 10% of your current strength level
• Energy Potion
  
  • 2 Limpwurt Roots
    
  • Chocolate Dust (Use a Knife on a Chocolate Bar found in the Cooking Guild)
    
  • Restores 10% of your run energy
• Antipoison
  
  • 5 gp
    
  • Limpwurt Root
    
  • Cadava Berries (South-East right outside Varrock, found in the bushes)
    
  • Provides a cure to poison and immunity to poison for 90 seconds

Dyes
Aggie the Witch in Draynor Village will sell dyes if you give her the right material. She only can give you blue, red, and yellow, BUT you can mix two of these to make green (blue + yellow), purple (red + blue), and orange (red + yellow).

• Blue Dye
  
  • 5 GP
    
  • 2 Woad Leaves (Talk to Wyson the gardener in Falador Park and offer him 20 coins for 2)
• Red Dye
  
  • 5 GP
    
  • 3 Red Berries (South-East right outside Varrock, found in the bushes)
• Yellow Dye
  
  • 5 GP
    
  • 2 Onions (In Farmer Fred’s backyard North of Lumbridge or in a Rimmington field)

Tick Manipulation[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
As you may or may not know, OSRS runs on ticks. Everything takes a certain number of ticks to do. This is a more advanced technique that is used to reduce time in a certain task. This is used often during skilling grinds. This guide doesn’t talk much about those. However, one easy one to master is burying bones while attacking an enemy. Right when you hit them you click on the bones to bury them, and immediately after, you click on the monster to attack it again. Prayer flicking is also another common one. Instead of using prayer points and having to run to an altar constantly, you can enable and disable the prayer real quick. If I am praying Protect from Melee, I will wait until the monster is about to attack me and turn it on an off in a certain rhythm. This can take a bit to master but pretty useful, not necessary.

Beginner Clue Scrolls[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
If you look at efficiency and money, clue scrolls are not worth doing. However, if you look at the uniques or want a break from the monotony of your task, they’re perfect. You can find them while mining, fishing, woodcutting, and most commonly killing things. If you want to get clue scrolls fast, you can either do the goblins in Lumbridge or the Minotaurs in the Stronghold of Security. Early on, you can get upgrades which are nice. DO THEM. If you need help with a clue it should be on the wiki. Also if you use the Runelite client, you can have it help you with them.

Wilderness[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
A perilous and desolate wasteland. Players can kill you here if they are a close enough combat level. The further you go into the wilderness the bigger difference combat level the players around you can be. Here are some notable places and things to do.

• Go to the Ferox Enclave[oldschool.runescape.wiki], the only settlement in the Wilderness (was pretty cool when added, makes Wilderness only Ironmen possible).
  
• Say “Hello” to a wilderness-only ironman
  
• Bandit Camp[oldschool.runescape.wiki] General store buys items for high alch value, sell at your own risk.
  
• Fat Tony in Bandit Camp sells pizza bases
  
• Top right of the wilderness you can tele-grab nature runes
  
• Hill Giants in Lava Maze[oldschool.runescape.wiki] (increased drop chance for Giant Key)
  
• Waka Canoe exit, Moss Giants nearby (increased drop chance for Mossy Key)
  
• Boneyard [oldschool.runescape.wiki]has lots of Big Bones
  
• Mine the 1 Rune Ores spot in F2P north of the Lava Maze (without dying)
  
• PK’ing (Player Killing) Noobs
  
• Getting PK’ed

Castle Wars[oldschool.runescape.wiki] & Last Man Standing[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
I have no idea how these games work. Will update when I start playing them/figure it out. Just keep in mind they are safe activities, meaning that if you die in them, you don't lose hardcore status.

Mining is used for Runecrafting, Crafting, and Smithing. A useful but not all that necessary skill. Still really nice to have and levels coincided with the skills listed above. Use the best pickaxe available too.

Pickaxe Requirements:
Bronze: Mining Level 1, Attack Level 1
Iron: Mining Level 1, Attack Level 1
Steel: Mining Level 6, Attack Level 5
Black: Mining Level 11, Attack Level 10
Mithril: Mining Level 21, Attack Level 20
Adamant: Mining Level 31, Attack Level 30
Rune: Mining Level 41, Attack Level 40

Ore Requirements:
Clay: Mining Level 1
Rune Essence: Mining Level 1
Copper Ore: Mining Level 1
Tin Ore: Mining Level 1
Iron Ore: Mining Level 15
Silver Ore: Mining Level 20
Coal: Mining Level 30
Gold Ore: Mining Level 40
Mithril Ore: Mining Level 550
Adamant Ore: Mining Level 70
Rune Ore: Mining Level 85

Startup Method: Doric’s Quest and Mining Bronze and/or Tin
Requirements: Doric’s Quest Done
Locations: South of Lumbridge, South-East Varrock Mine, Rimmington Mine, Al-Kharid Mine, Dwarven Mine
This quest will take you to Mining Level 11. I highly suggest doing that. If you aren’t mine bronze and/or tin to that level. Either way you need to continue mining until Level 15 to get to Iron Ore.

Method 1: Mining Iron Ore
Requirements: Mining Level 15
Locations: South of Lumbridge, South-West Varrock Mine, Rimmington Mine, Al-Kharid Mine, Dwarven Mine, Mining Guild (Need Mining Level 60), Wilderness
The most efficient way to 99 for mining, iron ore is a staple. You find three Iron Rocks next to each other, go between them and start mining. This can be hard to find at times as bots and players like to train there. Once you hit Mining Level 60, go to the guild, much less competition. If you want to bank for Smithing or Smith right there, this will be outlined in the next section.

Method 2: Mining Silver Ore
Requirements: Mining Level 20
Locations: South-West Varrock Mine, Al-Kharid Mine, Crafting Guild (Crafting Level ? Required and wearing brown apron)
An alternative if you are going to level Crafting. These are either banked or smithed right after mining an inventory. Crafting Guild, in my opinion, is the best because you don’t have to hop worlds. If you do hop worlds, only stick to 2 different ones for the others.

Method 3: Mining Rune Essence
Requirements: Rune Mysteries Completed
Locations: Rune Essences Mine (Talk to Aubury in Aubury’s Rune Shop in Varrock to get teleported there)
If you are going to train Runecrafting using the essences, this is a good way to level Mining, especially if you are going to Runecrafting Level 99. By the time you get enough, you’ll almost have Mining Level 99.

AFK Method: Mining Crashed Stars[oldschool.runescape.wiki]
Requirements: Mining Level relative to Tier of Star
Location: I wish I knew, check the wiki[oldschool.runescape.wiki]

Star Tier Requirements:
Tier 1: Mining Level 10
Tier 2: Mining Level 20
Tier 3: Mining Level 30
Tier 4: Mining Level 40
Tier 5: Mining Level 50
Tier 6: Mining Level 60
Tier 7: Mining Level 70
Tier 8: Mining Level 80
Tier 9: Mining Level 90

Mining the stardust or cursed popcorn (as I like to call it) from the Crashed Stars is just a collector’s pastime. There is no way to use stardust in F2P, but people do it to acquire a large amount of them. These stars spawn in various places, different in each world (only 1 per world). Some people hunt these so if you can get a hook up to the location, you’re good. On the wiki are the possible locations here[oldschool.runescape.wiki]. Also, above this I made the mining requirement for each star tier. The star will start at a random tier when first mined. Good luck to all the stardust (or cursed popcorn) enjoyers out there.

An essential skill for ironmen as some items cannot be dropped by monsters and need to be smithed. The some notable ones being the Rune Scimitar and Rune Axe. This skill cannot be skipped (if you want those items I mean). I would HIGHLY recommend if you’re doing the iron methods, to get a ring of forging. Because Iron has a 50% chance to be smelted, the ring guarantees that it will smelt, giving you more EXP in the long run. You need to take a ruby ring and 250 gp to Murky Matt in the Grand Exchange to obtain one.

Startup Method: Knight’s Sword Quest and Smithing Best Bar/Item
If you do this at Level 1 Smithing, you get up to Level 29. Pretty insane. This is recommended. Then you can smith iron and best item you can up to Level 33 Smithing, as Iron Bars to Iron Platebodies are the fastest XP in F2P. If you want to take the longer way to 33 just start with Bronze and make your way to Iron. Either way, you need to get to 33 to be able to smith Iron Platebodies.

Method 1: Banked Iron -> Iron Platebodies
Requirements: Smithing Level 33, Iron Banked
This one is fairly straight-forward. When you mine, you’ll bank your iron. Then go to Edgeville or wherever has a close furnace, and bank the iron bars. You take a hammer when you are done and go to the West Varrock bank. Withdraw the iron bars, go South to the anvil, and make the platebodies. You can either drop them, bank them, or sell them. Entirely up to you.

Method 2: Superheating Iron -> Iron Platebodies
Requirements: Smithing Level 33, Magic Level 43, Mining Level 15 (most likely), Nature Runes and Fire Staff (to cast Superheat Item)
Same thing here, except you will mine and superheat at your iron mining spot. Best spot would be the Dwarven Mine as there is an anvil nearby. Make sure to have a hammer with you if you aren’t banking the iron. Also, most people drop the platebodies, but you can bank/sell them as well.

Method 3: Banked Silver Ore
Requirements: Smithing Level 20
You can smelt Silver Ore to bars on the way to the bank, depending on your location. Otherwise, use the furnace to turn these into bars. If you are doing your Crafting Level to 99, Smithing is definitely needed. You’ll make either tiaras or unstrung holy symbols right after. More information on this in the Crafting section below.

This is a skill I used to hate before trying a F2P Ironman. It’s a great skill that you can use for early game money and necessary for any best-in-slot F2P amulets. Silver is your best friend here. In the Mining section I outlined the optimal locations for you to mine them at. You can get the molds or crafting tools either from Dommik’s Crafting Store in Al-Kharid or find them in the Crafting Guild.

Startup Method: Make the best leather gear you can from Level 1 to 16.
Requirements: 151 Leather, Needle, and Thread
In the early levels of Melee training, you will likely train on cows. They drop leather that you can use for this. Go to Al-Kharid to the tanner and make them into soft leather.
From 1 to 6, make 48 leather gloves.
From level 7 to 9, make 20 leather boots.
From level 9 to 11, make 22 leather cowls.
From level 11 to 14, make 35 leather vambraces.
Finally, from level 14 to 16, make 26 leather bodies.

Method 1: Crafting Unstrung Holy Symbols
Requirements: Level 16 Crafting
Generally, if you are going to make tiaras for Runecrafting, you stop crafting these at level 25. However, you can do these until 99. It takes 260,634. Simply mine silver ore, turn them into bars, and using the Holy Symbol mold, make the Holy Symbols. The Edgeville or Al-Kharid furnace are close locations to a bank to do this at. However, if you want to mine and do the process immediately after, that works as well. Whatever furnace is closest to your run. You can bank them, sell them, or drop them. This is up to you.

Method 2: Crafting Tiaras
Requirements: Level 25 Crafting
The process is the same as the Holy Symbols, except it uses the tiara mold and takes 248,126 to get to 99

Passive Method: Cutting Gems
Requirements: Being able to cut Sapphires (Level 20), Emeralds (Levels 27), Rubies (Level 34), or Diamonds (Level 43)
Optional Requirements: Ruins of Camdozaal Quest and The Corsair Curse Quest Done
In Ironman, it is difficult to get gems in vast quantities. As a result, this will only be passive Crafting XP. You obtain frequent gem drops from killing golems in the Ruins of Camdozaal and less at Ogresses at Corsair Cove. Just keep a chisel on you, and when they drop chisel them. Then either bank or drop them. This is entirely up to you.

Probably one of the least popular skills in OSRS, Runecrafting is by far the most challenging and longest grind to get through. Not only is the pay-off really not that good, but the amount of prep work and time spent to get those levels is dreadfully slow. However, I see it as the most rewarding because of this, a sign of prestige. Only CHADS level Runecrafting in F2P.

Method 1: Making Air Tiaras
Requirements: Rune Mysteries Quest Unfinished
This is the fastest method for Ironmen and one that requires a lot of prep work. For any tiara grind, you need to collect silver and make the tiaras yourself. If you are doing this method, you can train crafting first or along with this. You will need to make 521,378 of them for a full 99. In addition to this, you need to get an equal amount of air talismans from the Duke in Lumbridge. Before you complete Rune Mysteries, as long as you don’t have any talismans in your inventory or bank, you can keep claiming them. What you do is first withdraw all your talismans as bank notes and go talk to him. Get another one and drop the talisman (Using shift drop). Do this until you can fill up your inventory (26 or 27) with them. Be careful as not being fast enough will make them disappear. After, go to the bank and turn them into bank notes. You can hypothetically do this infinitely. From my experience you can get around 500 per hour so good luck. :)

The actual run itself starts in Falador east bank. Run down to the air altar and use a talisman on it. Craft the air tiaras and either run back or use the Falador teleport (which is faster). You can keep them/drop them/sell them. Really this part is up to you and however you value them.

Method 2: Making Earth/Body Runes
Requirements: Rune Mysteries Quest Done, Level 9 Runecrafting for Earth Runes, Level 20 Runecrafting for Body Runes
Another viable method, but not as fast. Preferably you should do Earth runes. This is especially true if you want to have a more relaxed/afk grind. They take a bit longer (and by a bit, I mean over 800 hours). To start with either method you need to mine the essence yourself and bank at Varrock east bank. For earth you need 2,369,800 essence and for body you will need 1,737,800 essence. It is possible to obtain noted essence from the golems in Camdozaal, but it is something you should get passively. I will talk about those later.

Earth rune runes start at Varrock east bank. Run to the earth altar with an earth tiara on and click on the altar. Craft the runes and either run back or Varrock teleport (again this is faster and more efficient). You bank and repeat the process.

Body runes are faster but require more attention and setup. You need to first have the Edgeville spawn, which costs 5 million gold. Then you need an alt to kill you in a PVP world after you craft the runes. You could possibly do this without the setup but its not as good as earth runes then. The only way I could see this working without that is if you want a change of scenery or really need body runes. Instead of dying, you can run back to either Edgeville or Varrock Teleport.

Passive Method: Body Golem Cores
Requirements: Ruins of Camdozaal Quest Done, Level 25 Runecrafting
This is something you will do passively in combination with training Melee stats. When you train on the golems, you want to do the highest you can. Body Golems give rune essence and body cores, which can be used on the body altar for XP and runes. If you store them and have a nice collection, this can be some sweet Runecrafting XP. If you really want to, you can take this to 99 by getting 173,733 of them, starting at level 20.

Passive Method: Mind Golem Cores
Requirements: Ruins of Camdozaal Quest Done, Level 2 Runecrafting
Mind golems are usually not gone for from my experience, but if you want to, this would all just apply to the mind altar and instead of Varrock or Edgeville, start at Falador west bank. The only reason you would do mind instead of body is if you are a lower combat level

Passive Method: Making Body Tiaras
Requirements: None
This is the last method for Runecrafting we will go over. This method is similar to crafting Body runes, but you are making tiaras instead. I highly advise you don’t use this as a primary method unless you are a regular. You can buy the body talismans from the Grand Exchange, making it the quickest way to 99 for regulars. However, with ironmen there is no easy/quick way to get them. You might get these from hill giants, but rarely. If you bank them, you might have a few that you want to use. Craft the number of tiaras you need and do the run you would for the body cores or runes.

Fishing and Cooking should be leveled together for efficiency. There are two ways in which you can do this. The first is to fish the fish and bank them to cook later. Second is to cook them immediately after fishing, either dropping or banking them. Just keep in mind that with Cooking, just because you have the level to cook the item, doesn’t mean it will be successful.

Fishing Items in F2P:
- Small Net
- Fishing Rod + Bait
- Fly-Fishing Rod + Feathers
- Lobster Pot
- Harpoon

Good Food/Healing Items:
Before going into the methods, here are some good healing items I would recommend for combat.
- Kebabs (for Melee training, can be bought for 1 GP in Al-Kharid kebab shop from Karim, random how much it heals but still worth it, especially for price, scales based on health, the more health, the more average healing you receive)
- Jugs of Wines (made at Level 35 Cooking, for Ranged and Magic training, can be bought from Fortunato for 2 GP in Draynor, heals 11 HP but lowers the Attack stat by 2)
- Anchovy Pizzas (made at Level 55 Cooking, heals 18 HP total in two parts, 9 HP per half)
- Swordfish (cooked at Level 45 Cooking, heals 14 HP)
- Lobsters (cooked at Level 40 Cooking, heals 12 HP)

Startup Method: Catching Shrimp/Anchovies
Requirements: Small Fishing Net
Location: East Lumbridge Swamp (South of Lumbridge), West of Draynor Village bank, Wilderness Bandit Camp (Anchovies only)
From Fishing Level 1 to 15 you will only catch Shrimp. Then from 15 to 20, you’ll catch both. Shrimp can be cooked at Cooking Level 1 and stop burning at Level 33 (35 on a fire). Anchovies can be cooked at Cooking Level 1 and stop burning Level 34 Cooking. These Anchovies can be put on plain pizzas at Level 55 Cooking. Save them if you plan on doing this.

Method 1: Fly-Fishing Trout and Salmon
Requirements: Level 20 Fishing
Location: Barbarian Village, Fly-Fishing Rod, Feathers
Funny how both of the most efficient Fishing methods in OSRS (P2P and F2P) are with Barbarians. Anyways, this is the fastest way to go up to 99 in Fishing. There’s a permanent fire nearby, so right after you get an inventory, cook’em. You can also just take this up to 40 and move onto lobsters. Trout stops turning at Cooking Level 50, and Salmon stops at Level 58.

Method 2: Lobsters
Requirements: Level 40 Fishing, Lobster Pot, Pirate’s Treasure Quest done (optional), The Corsair’s Curse Quest done (optional), and Dragon Slayer 1 Quest done (optional)
Location: Musa Point on Karamja and Corsair Cove Resource Area
Wow, that’s a lot of quests to complete, you might be saying. This is for your convenience. Pirate’s Treasure is so that you unlock Karamja and quick-pay to sail to there from Port Sarim for the deposit box and back. The other two is to unlock the Corsair Cove Resource Area. This method is very AFK. You can take it all the way to 99 if you want. Lobsters can be cooked at Cooking Level 40 and stop burning at Level 74.

Method 3: Tuna/Swordfish
Requirements: Level 50 Fishing, Harpoon, all the Quests that the Lobster one had
Location: Same as the Lobster ones
This is all the same as the Lobsters aside from using the Harpoon instead of the Lobster Pot. Not as AFK, but still decently so. It gives better XP. Some people like to drop the tuna and just fish for the swordfish, but I keep both personally. Tuna can be cooked at Cooking Level 30 and stops burning at Level 63 (64 on a fire). Swordfish can be cooked at Cooking Level 45 and stops burning at Level 86.

Not Recommended Cooking Method: Wines
Requirements: Level 35 Cooking, Jugs of Water, and Grapes
This is a slow process without the GE. It is the fastest method in regular F2P but expensive. Grapes can be found in the Cooks’ Guild and the Phoenix Gang Hideout (for those who picked’em in Shield of Arrav). Jugs of water can be found in the Al-Kharid Palace. Regular jugs can be bought in any general store. Lots of prep work, not a lot of pay off. Might as well buy em from Fortunato.

Similar to Fishing and Cooking, Woodcutting and Firemaking go hand-in-hand. If you train one, you’ll almost always train the other. You will cut the best tree you can, with the best axe you can until Willows. Then while you cut the logs, burn the logs with a tinderbox every full inventory. Keep in mind that if you are going for efficiency, you won’t do this until you get the required smithing levels for each axe. Bob’s Brilliant Axes (axe shop in Lumbridge) is the only place you can purchase axes in F2P. Steel is the best one you can get, so it’ll take a while without the best one.

Axe Level Requirements
Bronze: Woodcutting Level 1, Attack Level 1
Iron: Woodcutting Level 1, Attack Level 1
Steel: Woodcutting Level 6, Attack Level 5
Black: Woodcutting Level 11, Attack Level 10
Mithril: Woodcutting Level 21, Attack Level 20
Adamant: Woodcutting Level 31, Attack Level 30
Rune: Woodcutting Level 41, Attack Level 40

Startup Method: Best Tree Until Willows
From Level 1 to 15 cut and burn regular trees.
From Level 15 to 30 cut and burn oak trees.

Efficient Method: Willows
Requirements: Level 30 Woodcutting
The best way to reach 99 Woodcutting is with Willows. If you tick cut, it can even be faster. The best location for this is Draynor Village, south of the bank. If it’s constantly being used, you can try to find some other locations, unless you want to bank. Some other locations are Lumbridge, Rimmington, and South of Port Sarim.

AFK Method: Yews
Requirements: Level 60 Woodcutting
A slow but AFK method. Yews take a while to cut down, even if they are more XP. This makes them not as good. It’ll take a while more (I don’t know by how much though). Locations are scattered throughout F2P. They are generally marked on the map and unless you are trying to bank them, finding an open one isn’t difficult.

Not Recommended Method: Maples
Requirements: Level 45 Woodcutting, The Corsair Curse Quest Started, Dragon Slayer Quest Done
I honestly have not idea. Maybe it’s AFK. Maybe it’s awful XP. Never tried it. Never was recommended it. It is still possible to get to 99 in both. Then again you can do that with just regular trees and a bronze axe. If you really want to try it, the only maple tree in F2P is in the resource area in Corsair Cove.

I am grouping the first 2 skills, melee and ranged (Technically 4) together. The monsters to train them on are very similar, given a few exceptions. You can max with any of these, but some are more efficient than others.

It’s very simple (not that Melee training isn’t simple). Attack with bow, level with bow. Make sure to safespot (attack from a place they can’t hit you, but you can hit them). Gear-wise you want the best armor you can with the best shortbow you can. Longbows only look cooler but attack slower. Don’t let that stop you from your fashionscape. Your bow should be set to either accurate or rapid (Idk which ones is better). For arrows, use bronze and iron. Then if you can afford them or do ogresses, get adamant arrows at around Level 45 Ranged.

Weapon Requirements

• Cursed Goblin Bow: Ranged Level 1
  
• Shortbow/Longbow: Ranged Level 1
  
• Training Bow: Ranged Level 1
  
• Bronze Crossbow: Ranged Level 1
  
• Phoenix Crossbow: Ranged Level 1
  
• Oak Shortbow/Longbow: Ranged Level 5
  
• Willow Shortbow/Longbow: Ranged Level 20
  
• Maple Shortbow/Longbow: Ranged Level 30

Arrow Requirements

• Bronze Bolts (used only for the crossbows): Ranged Level 1
  
• Bronze: Ranged Level 1
  
• Iron: Ranged Level 1
  
• Steel: Ranged Level 5
  
• Mithril: Ranged Level 20
  
• Adamant: Ranged Level 30

Early Armor (Leather) Setup

• Leather Cowl
  
• Amulet of Accuracy (From Imp Catcher Quest)
  
• Leather Body (Hard Leather Body at 10 Defense and Studded Leather Body at 20 Ranged and 20 Defense)
  
• Leather Chaps
  
• Leather Boots
  
• Leather Gloves
  
• Leather Vambraces
  
• Cabbage Cape

Best Armor Setup (Level 40 Ranged)

• Coif
  
• Amulet of Power
  
• Green D’Hide Body
  
• Green D’Hide Leggings
  
• Leather Boots
  
• Leather Gloves
  
• Green D’Hide Vambraces
  
• Cabbage Cape (of course)

The way I level Melee train is Strength -> Attack -> Defense by levels of 5 to 10. If I have 50 (as an example) in these 3, I would level Strength to 55 or 60 and then level the rest to that level. Wear the best armor you can based on your Defense level. Wield the best scimitar you can based on your attack. I understand that it might be difficult to get some of the material because of money issues and Smithing level requirements. Just do the best you can.

Armor Requirements

• Bronze: Defense Level 1
  
• Iron: Defense Level 5
  
• Steel: Defense Level 10
  
• Black: Defense Level 15
  
• Mithril: Defense Level 20
  
• Adamant: Defense Level 30
  
• Rune: Defense Level 40

Weapon Requirements

• Bronze: Attack Level 1
  
• Iron: Attack Level 1
  
• Steel: Attack Level 5
  
• Black: Attack Level 10
  
• Mithril: Attack Level 20
  
• Adamant: Attack Level 30
  
• Rune or Others (Barronite Mace, Obor’s Club): Attack Level 40

Best Armor Setup

• Rune Full Helm
  
• Amulet of Power (Amulet of Strength if you don’t have Level 70 Crafting)
  
• Rune Platebody (or Chainbody if facing Hill Giants, Moss Giants, Ogresses, or any other thing that uses crush attacks)
  
• Rune Platelegs (or Plateskirt if you’re a girl (1 of you) or Scottish)
  
• Golden Castle Wars boots (or the Stronghold of Security boots)
  
• Leather Gloves
  
• Green D’Hide Vambraces (Leather if you don’t have the Ranged level yet)
  
• Rune Kiteshield
  
• Cabbage Cape (of course)

Best Weapons

• Rune Scimitar (#1 of course but need level 90 in Smithing, OOF)
  
• Barronite Mace (#2 but better crush attack and a whole lot easier to get than #1)
  
• Rune Longsword (#3)

Method 1: Chickens/Cows
Combat Type: Melees Level 1-20, Ranged 1-20 (Only if you really need the feathers or leather)
Requirements: None
Notable Drops: Feathers and Leather
Locations: North and North-East of Lumbridge
I am grouping these two because they are something you are going to do in the early levels. Enemies hit hard so this is a good way to start. If you gather the meat/chicken, you can cook it and eat it during the “grind”. Chickens give you feathers for fly-fishing, and cows give you leather for crafting. You certainly can do this with ranged, but the next option in my opinion is much better for ranged.

Method 2: Minotaurs
Combat Type: Ranged 1-20, Melees 1-20 (Only if you need arrows and the piece of the skull scepter they drop)
Requirements: None
Notable Drops: Iron Arrows and Right Skull Half
Location: Stronghold of Security
Fantastic for iron arrows, something you can farm if you need them as they are your best in slot until ogresses (cost-wise). You can safe-spot them easily and they drop the right skull half, a material needed to craft the skull scepter AND recharge said skull scepter). Not recommended for Melee, but if you really need either of the drops.

Method 3: Hill Giants
Combat Type: Melees Level 20-50, Ranged Level 20-40
Requirements: Brass Key (Only in Ones Close to Varrock)
Notable Drops: Giant Keys (Better Rates in Wilderness), Limpwurt Roots, Law and Nature Runes, Body Talismans (Small Chance), Big Bones, Small Amount of GP, Gems (Small Chance).
Locations: East of Al-Kharid or South of the Duel Arena, Edgeville Dungeon (Shortcut needs a Brass Key), and Lava Maze in Wilderness
Not a good money maker but don’t hit that hard. I would recommend the location close to Al-Kharid. There is one safespot location, but no one is ever there. There is a slight difference in drops (Iron Med Helms and Iron Scimitars instead of Iron Full Helms and Iron Longswords). Anyone that is there isn’t a bot, so ask them nicely not to hit your safespot hill giants. Hardcores are not recommended to do the Wilderness ones because of potential PK’ers. You could max your Melees here, but the next methods are much better.

Method 4: Mind Golems/Body Golems
Combat Type: IDK Recommended Melees Level Here, Maybe Levels 40 to 50 for Body
Requirements: Ruins of Camdozaal Quest Done
Notable Drops: Gems, Mind/Body Cores, Barronite Mace Head, and Barronite Shards
Locations: Ruins of Camdozaal
An alternative to Hill and Moss Giants. These are a good source of gems and passive Runecrafting XP with the mind/body cores. You can also get Barronite Shards for the Maze Runs (IDK WHAT CALLED). The best way to do these is with the Barronite mace, as it does more crush damage and extra to the golems. There is a ruin upgrade that increases your defense against the golems. Once you hit maybe 40 to 50, start doing Body Golems instead of Mind. Maxxing Melees to 99 with these is an option.

Method 5: Moss Giants
Combat Type: Melees Level 50-90, Ranged Level 20-50
Requirements: Knife or Sharp Weapon, Woodcutting Axe
Notable Drops: Mossy Key (Better Rates in Wilderness), Law and Nature Runes, Steel Bars, Decent Amount of GP, Black Square Shield, Spinach Roll (Last two being for collectors)
Locations: Varrock Sewers, Crandor, and Wilderness close to Canoe Exit
Moss Giants start to be great money makers, letting you afford better stuff. The safest place is the Varrock sewers. Make sure to get a knife or sharp weapon for the web, while going to their location. This area is multi-combat so be careful. If you wait long enough, they can deaggro. However, there are locations where they can funnel in one by one. Wilderness ones are again not recommended for Hardcores. You can certainly max both Melees and Ranged while doing these. The money isn’t as good as ogresses though.

Method 6: Ogresses
Combat Type: Melees Level 90-99, Ranged Level 50-99
Requirements: The Corsair Curse Quest Completed, Dragon Slayer 1 Quest Completed (Optional)
Notable Drops: Limpwurt Root, Lots of Runes (specifically law/nature runes), Gems (more common), Lots of GP, Big Bones, Rune Med Helm, Full Helm, and Battleaxe, and Shaman Mask (for Collectors)
Locations: Corsair Cove Dungeon, Resource Area Dungeon
Ah yes, the kings of F2P money-making. They’re drops are insane. Good XP. Certainly, you can take this to 99. Nuff said.

Not Recommended Method: Flesh Crawlers, Catablepons, Ankous
Combat Type: Various Levels
Requirements: None
Notable Drops: Skull Scepter Parts
Locations: Stronghold of Security Levels 2, 3, 4 Respectively
The only reasons you should be killing these is the Skull Scepter parts. Once you get this from them, don’t do them again. Minotaurs are where you get the skull fragments as they are the easiest to kill and seems to drop the most frequently. Flesh crawlers maybe super afk, but no drops (aside from scepter part, not recommended). Catablepons are annoying. Ankous are good for law runes, but there are much better options like Ogresses.

Not Recommended Method 2: Ice Giants
Combat Type: I don’t know the Levels
Requirements: None
Notable Drops: Black Kiteshield, Mithril Mace and Square Shield, Adamant Arrows, and Decent number of Runes, Gems (Not Common), Decent GP, Mithril Ore
Location: Asgarnian Ice Dungeon and Frozen Waste Plateau (North-West Wilderness Ice Area)
There is no reason to do these. That being said, I do think that there might be a boss themed around these giants, just like Obor for the Hill Giants and Bryophyta (IDK HOW SPELL) for the Moss Giants. Blurite and the Mudskipper Point Dungeon are underused, barely in P2P. Hear me out, maybe the Blurite crossbow can come to F2P or the new boss would drop something that when combined with the Blurite is the best F2P ranged weapon or something. Obor has his club for Melee, Bryophyta has Magic with her staff (that’s not F2P), and this new ice giant boss would be Ranged. Just a thought. (Just a FYI, this section is just an excuse for me to suggest this.)

Magic is more flexible to train because you have combat and utility spells. It can be pretty expensive until you get the ogresses.

Splashing
If you are going to level Magic, splashing is something you should know about. It’s when you cast a certain spell and it misses all the time. You might see people doing this on rats everywhere in F2P. I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve seen them everywhere. This is achieved with -65 Magic if you look on your equipment stats. You need any kind of full helm, platebody, platelegs/plateskirt (if you’re a girl, gotta be gender inclusive), stronghold boots, and d’hide vambraces. If you don’t have or can’t equip the d’hide vambraces, you’ll have to use a cursed goblin staff that Diango sells instead of the elemental staves.

Method 1: Combat Spells
Requirements: Depends on Combat Spell
Use the highest-level combat spell you can, with the elemental staff that corresponds to the same element. Every cast gives you XP, so splashing can be an alternative here. I’m not sure what enemies to train the spells on but as long as you can feasibly kill them, you are good. My personal recommendation would be to level until you get Fire Strike (Magic Level 13). After that, level until 35 to get Fire Bolt. If you have the Chaos Runes but not Death you can do this to 99. Best EXP though goes to Fire Blast which unlocks at Magic Level 59. With Fire Bolt and Fire Blast you want to be killing ogresses.

Method 2: Crumble Undead
Requirements: Magic Level 39
Not very used, but better EXP with Chaos Runes than Fire Bolt. For this method, you want the Imbued Skull Scepter and be close to the wilderness just enough to cast the spell on. The Skull Scepter lets you auto-cast the spell. I think that covers it.

Method 3: Curse Splashing
Requirements: Magic Level 19
Just a splashing setup with curse. Early on, very fast levels. Best place to do this, in my correct opinion, is on the Monk of Zamorak underneath the stairs in Varrock palace. Though, you can do this on rats or any other safe enemy.

Method 4: Telegrabbing Nats
Requirements: Magic Level 33
High-risk method that requires you to go into the Wilderness, east of Lava Dragon Isle on an island. There are two Nature Runes you can get by telegrabbing and hopping worlds. However, this is a common PK spot. You can do this if you really need the Nature Runes and have lots of Laws. Not recommended for Hardcores.

Method 5: Superheat Item
Requirements: Magic Level 43
Should be used together with Mining for Smithing and Magic EXP. Will get you to 99 easily if you do it this way.

Passive Method: Casting High Alchemy
Requirements: Magic Level 55
See valuable drop, have Runes, cast High Alch, get Money. You’ll level this while you’ll level combat, especially at ogresses.

This probably the second most passive skill (at least how I level it up). You get XP while burying the bones during your combat grinds. There are a few ways to do this actively though. Realistically, you don’t need more than 45 because that’s when you learn the last prayer spell, but it never hurts to have more Prayer points.

Method 1: Big Bones at the Boneyard in the Wilderness
This is the most dangerous of the methods here. It is recommended that Hardcore Ironmen don’t do this one as you can get PK’ed. North-east of Ferox Enclave, is the boneyard, where big bones spawn. You basically just run around, pick them up, and bury them.

Method 2: Big Frogs
This is one targeted to Hardcore Ironmen. In Lumbridge Swamp, go around killing the big frogs. They only drop big bones. So again, pick them up and bury them. I wouldn’t recommend this because of the passive prayer you can get.

Method 3: Ruins of Camdozaal Offering Fish
A good change of pace to the other methods. With this one you get Fishing, Cooking, and Prayer all in one. The XP isn’t too hot BUT it is a nice alternative. The higher level the other skills are, the better your XP will be. I also do think that the boost you can pay for with Barronite shards helps that XP. 3 for 1 deal, sounds good to me.

Passive Method: Burying the Bones of your Enemies
You train combat. They drop bones. You pick up bones. You bury bones. You get XP. Simple as.

Hitpoints is an exclusively passive skill. While leveling up the other combat skills, you level up this one. Can’t say much more than that, aside from the obvious, it determines how much health you have. Sorry if you wanted to do a Hitpoint pure.

There are only two bosses in F2P. No idea on how to do them properly. Will update this later. For now I put the wiki page of the bosses.

And that’s the guide. I know I went a bit overboard on some of the information, but better more than less. If I missed something or something is wrong, let me know.

I got all my information from the OSRS wiki[oldschool.runescape.wiki], F2P wiki[www.f2p.wiki], members of the clans F2P IM and W 385, and my own experience. The pictures are from the OSRS wiki[oldschool.runescape.wiki], and I took them in-game. The quest guide videos were from Slayermusiq1.

This guide is still a work in-progress. I need to add pictures and stuff to make it look visually appealing and some sections are missing. As the semester is in full swing, I have a bit of work and outside responsibilities, but bear with me. It will get done eventually.
