RuneScape: Tutorial Island Guide

When you log on first, you’re going to design your character. Using the 4 tabs at the top, choose how you want your character to look.

Make sure what you have is what you like! This is the only time (unless there’s a special promotion) that you can choose your appearance for free.

Note: Burn My Toe is my alt for pictures and guides, etc. Fun name, eh? His character is a boy.

When you’re done, click on the Runescape guide, indicated by the yellow arrow on his head.

He will talk to you, and show you the Options tab. Then talk to the Runescape guide again, and he’ll tell you to open the door and go to your next tutor! Just follow the yellow arrows on your map.

Next, you’ll talk to Brynna, the survival expert.

She’ll give you a Tinderbox and a Bronze hatchet, and show you where your Inventory tab is. You can carry 28 things in your inventory.

By clicking the tree, you’ll use your hatchet and get some logs.

Use the Tinderbox on the logs to make a fire. After that, you’ll learn where your Skill Stats tab is.

FUN FACT: If you noticed, by the Runescape guide’s building, there are two larger trees, called Oaks. These you can only cut if you get higher Woodcutting level (15), so be sure to check them out when you’re on the main island! There are also higher-leveled hatchets you can get too, on the mainland!

FUN FACT: Whenever you Firemake, you always move from East to West!

Then you’ll get a net, and you’ll fish some shrimp from the pond.

After you catch one, click the shrimp and click the fire to cook it. You may burn it, if you do, drop the burnt one, catch another one and try again!

TIP: Before you go on to your next tutor, max out your stats on Tutorial Island! Keep Woodcutting until level 3, then use the Tinderbox on your logs until you get level 3 Firemaking. Keep Fishing shrimp until level 3, and keep cooking your shrimp until you have Cooking level 3! These extra levels will give you a slight advantage to other new players!
