The optimal quest guide lists Old School RuneScape quests in an order that allows new Members to progress in an order that minimises the amount of skill training. This guide does not take into consideration unlockable content, such as fairy rings or dragon equipment, that provides numerous benefits to the player’s game progression. It is highly recommended that players complete the quests in the Recommended Quests section as soon as possible.

This guide is meant for regular accounts; for ironman accounts, see here.

Experience lamps or books of knowledge received through random events or achievement diaries may be used on any skill of the player's choosing or to save time by shortening the next bit of training in this guide.

Players with 50 Construction should take advantage of their player-owned house for access to a portal chamber, teak altar, and mounted glory. Teleport to house (tablet) may also be used for emergency teleport. New players on a budget should use a ring of dueling to access the bank and restore stats.

Completing achievement diaries will be beneficial throughout the game; some of the rewards include access to unlimited teleports, noted item drops, antique lamps, shortcuts, and additional Lunar spells.
