Quests description RuneScape 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The main thing in RuneScape is to make quests. Thanks to them you gain levels and new, better equipment. Quests in the game are divided due to the difficulty and complexity. The most difficult ones (5 lvl) require from you thinking and dealing with particular in-game elements. Good example is illustrated on the screen above. To complete it, you have to use your Cooking and Thieving. Of course, you can always look into your journal to check whether you lack of something or where you can find a particular item or task.
Rewards depend on and are connected with the quests. For example, if you finish the quest with Cooking, you'll get leveled up in that skill.
RuneScape differs heavily from the standard MMO games. In here, you don't have to spend hours on endless killing of monsters. Quests are thought thoroughly and rewards meaningful. Every quest gives you also quest points. It's a measure of difficulty level required and requirements for another quests.
In some quests, you'll get markers on the road and a map. It's a simplification which made the game easier for certain.
But in the majority of quests, you won't find markers and you'll have to find yourself on your own in this huge world. The only simplification is a terrain marked on the map where you have to look for the place to complete the quest. It may be a NPC, item to be found, cave to be searched or even a special tree to be chopped down in which you find a piece of paper you need. Quests base on the hero skills. In every of them you'll have to use one (or more) of them to complete the quest.
Quests in RuneScape are divided on two main groups: for members and free ones. Unfortunately, there is only a dozen or so quests for the free-to-play game model. They are much simpler than the one available for members, but they show all the mechanics and encourage a player to buy a membership.
