In-Depth Start Up Guide on 07Scape

Introduction
This was a guide posted on Zybez. I have obtained the permission to re-post the guide but I have basically re-written most of it. It was a guide for questing efficiently but I thought to myself: this isn't applicable to sythe. Most members of sythe are just looking to do something to get them started up on Runescape in an orderly fashion: this guide provides that opportunity.


These are the quests that are covered in the guide and why they are covered:
Cooks Assistant - Cooking Experience
Rune Mysteries - Acess to Rune/Pure Essence and Runecrafting
Restless Ghost - Prayer Experience
Plague City (Partially) - Access to West Ardougne
Gertrude's Cat - You are able to grow cats and sell them to npc's in West Ardougne in exchange for 100 chaos runes
Knight's Sword - Smithing Experience
Witch's Potion - Magic Experience
Doric's Quest - Mining Experience
Druidic Ritual - Access to the Herblore skill and some Herblore Experience
Goblin Diplomacy - Crafting Experience
Sheep Herder - 3100 GP Reward
Hazeel Cult - Thieving Experience
Monk's Friend - Woodcutting Experience
Fishing Contest - Fishing Experience
Waterfall Quest - Attack & Strength Experience
Death Plateau - Access to Climbing Boots & Attack Experience



Before I get into it here are a few things to know:

• Unless I specifically state otherwise you should always keep around 100 07GP with you at all times, even when I say bank everything. This is to purchase misc items and what-not. Due to the high value of 07GP currently you should never have the whole stack on you.
• There isn't much skilling included in this guide, just enough for quest requirements and certain xp gains such as the Varrock Museum basement tests which should be done for convenience.

Some of the quests have changed dramatically over time so here are some quest guides specifically for 07:

Let's get into it.


Tutorial Island:

• Just get this done in an orderly fashion.
• You can skip the tutorial by speaking with the NPC "Skippy" in the room you spawn in.

Lumbridge:

• Go inside the castle and start Cook's Assistant.
• Go upstairs one floor and talk to Duke Horacio to start Rune Mysteries.
• Go upstairs and bank everything. Take out some coins, a small fishing net, the air talisman, a tinderbox, an axe and a bucket.
• Go downstairs and then talk to Father Aereck in the Lumbridge Church to start The Restless Ghost.
• Go inside the swamp, to Father Urhney southwest of the graveyard and get the Amulet of Ghostspeak. Go back to the church and talk to the Ghost.
• Go to General store and buy a cake tin and a bucket. Milk the Dairy cow in the cow pen for two buckets of milk.

Draynor:

• Go back west through the swamp and south to the Wizard's Tower.
• Enter the basement and steal the skull (avoiding the skeleton) for The Restless Ghost.
• Speak to Sedridor for Rune Mysteries.
• Exit the tower. Go north to Draynor Village and bank everything except for a small net and a weapon.
• Catch shrimps until level 5 Fishing. You should then cook the shrimps. There should usually be someone that is cooking near the bank but if there isn't, there are plenty trees handy: just use the bronze hatchet and tinderbox you were given from the tutorial.

Port Sarim:

• Go to Falador Farm and pick up an egg from a chicken. Watch out for the aggressive Highwayman.
• Kill seagulls on the port for level 10 in all of your melee skills (If you are a pure do not do defense). Try chickens and cows at the Falador farm if they're not packed.

Barbarian Village

• Here you will start to need some cash. Proceed from Port Sarim east back to Draynor Village and if you do not have enough shrimps to fill up most of your inventory, you should fish some more and cook them.
• Go north from Draynor Village past Draynor Manor to reach Barbarian Village.
• Now you should do the security stronghold. Only do the first 3 floors as the last floor does not give any money and the monsters in it are considerably harder hitting than the previous floors. With only Shrimps as your food you may die on this floor, and losing your cash stack here would be devastating. From this you will get 10k which is enough to start you off.

• Buy a pot of flour from Wydin's Food Store.

• Buy a pink skirt from Thessalia's clothes shop.
• Here you should also stop off at the general store and purchase some shears.
• Here is also a great opportunity to buy a sword at the Varrock Swordshop.

__________________________________________________________



I still need to do a check to see if I have left anything in that isn't relevant (getting items for quests that I have removed, etc) but in the meantime I thought I may as well release this.

If you have any additions you'd like to make feel free to post below.

 

This is so useful that I'm going to make it a sticky!

 

Fucking awesome, really helped me out.

 

Thanks guys, great to know my work so far is appreciated.

 

Looks brilliant to me, I'll have a double check with my secondary account and let you know the results

Kudos, my man. Nothing sub-par from you as always

 

I think you missed the part about starting Pirate's Treasure, also where to get shears.

 

Before mining the ores south of barbarian village, you could maybe add to go through the stronghold of security to get 10K! Nice guide though, I may have to use this

 

This is really nice. Thank you and I'm sure the community will benefit well from it.

 

what do you mean "my work"? you didn't make this lol, this was made the day 07 went live. just saying... link:http://pastebin.com/gE97bXVG


also the entire guide takes a fuckload of time

 

I haven't included Pirate's Treasure in there but I will make sure to look out for it to see if I have accidentally left any bits in it when I go over it. I don't believe I mentioned getting shears either so I'll have to add that in.

The security stronghold is mentioned in there.

I never denied that it wasn't mine originally, I even mentioned it at the start of the guide. After 6 hours of work though, it looks quite a bit different and its content differs a lot from the original.

 

Unstuck per request

Edit: requested re-sticky.

 

Guide completed.

 

I saw this somewhere else and did it on the first day, but there are some things missing, for example on lumby it says bank everything but it doesnt say you need the air talisman to give to the wizard. wasted 5mis of my time

 

Ah okay.

Guys, currently my planned proof reading of this is at a stand still due to school work I need to do combined with a general lack of enthusiasm. If anyone wants to help it would be appreciated.

Things to work on:

• Make sure that all items necessary for the quests are mentioned
• Make sure that all the items in there are actually relative to the quests I have retained and not ones I have omitted
• General proof-reading

 

For witch's potion, doesn't include killing a giant rat for the raw rat meat.

 

I'm following the guide step by step so I will contribute when I see something off. The air talisman mistSke costed me 5 min as well... :/
