Whether you're a returning player or new to RuneScape 3, this guide will provide essential items to kickstart your adventure. If you're a mid-level or high-level player, don't worry! We will also be releasing articles specifically tailored to those skill levels. So, let's get started! Before we dive into the list, please note that the necromancy skill has not been released in the game as of the time of writing this article. However, when it does become available, it is highly recommended for beginners to take advantage of it as their first combat skill. Now, let's explore the items that beginners should consider acquiring:

• Silverhawk Boots
• Archaeology Journal
• The Wicked Hood
• Ring of Wealth / Ring of Fortune
• Silverhawk Boots
• Archaeology Journal
• Upgrade Weapons First
• Seeds
• Seeds for Farming

 

↖ Silverhawk Boots

These boots are available for free in the in-game marketplace known as the Ottoman store. To obtain them, visit the store and claim the boots. You will need to add Silverhawk feathers to the boots, which can be obtained through Treasure Hunter or purchased from the store using currency earned daily. The boots provide a passive effect that consumes feathers as you engage in activities and grant bonus Agility XP. Agility is important as it increases your run energy and unlocks various shortcuts in the game. The Silverhawk Boots also double as hybrid boots, offering stat boosts from level 1 up to level 60. These boots remain a popular choice even among high-level players.

 

↖ Archaeology Journal

To obtain the Archaeology Journal, you must unlock the Archaeology skill. This skill can be initiated at level 1, making it accessible from the start of your adventure. The journal provides teleports to the dig site, which is a frequently visited location throughout your RuneScape journey. Additionally, the Archaeology skill offers opportunities to earn AFK GP, allowing you to passively make RS GP while progressing your character. Acquiring the Archaeology Journal early on will prove beneficial for future quests and overall convenience.

 

↖ The Wicked Hood

The Wicked Hood is a must-have item for all members. You can obtain it for free from Tam McGrubber in Burthorpe. This versatile hood offers several perks, making it an invaluable tool throughout your journey. It provides unlimited teleports to the Wizard's Tower, a location frequently visited for various quests and activities. Additionally, it allows direct teleports to runecrafting altars, offering two daily uses. To unlock more teleports, you'll need to add corresponding talismans to the hood. The Wicked Hood also grants 100 unnoted Rune Essence, essential for crafting runes at the altars.

 

↖ Ring of Wealth / Ring of Fortune

The Ring of Wealth and Ring of Fortune are both valuable items that provide teleports to the Grand Exchange, saving you time and facilitating quick access to the marketplace. The Ring of Wealth is more affordable, costing around 12,000 coins on the Grand Exchange and offering four charges for teleports. When it runs out of charges, you can sell it back for around 8,000 coins, making it a cost-effective option. On the other hand, the Ring of Fortune costs approximately 1 million coins but offers unlimited teleports, making it a luxurious choice for wealthier players.

 

↖ Silverhawk Boots

If you've unlocked the Silverhawk Boots from the Oddments Store, you're in for a treat. These boots grant bonus Agility experience while performing various activities, effectively leveling up your Agility skill. Additionally, the Silverhawk Boots function as hybrid boots, providing stat boosts from level 1 to level 60. Enhancing your Agility skill is crucial as it increases your run energy and unlocks shortcuts, making your overall gameplay smoother and more efficient.

 

↖ Archaeology Journal

The Archaeology Journal is an essential item obtained by unlocking the Archaeology skill, which is available from level 1. The journal provides convenient teleports to the dig site, a location frequently visited for Archaeology training and various quests. The Archaeology skill also offers opportunities to earn AFK GP, allowing you to passively make money while progressing your character. Acquiring the Archaeology Journal early on will prove beneficial for future quests and overall convenience.

 

↖ Upgrade Weapons First

When upgrading your combat gear, prioritize improving your weapons before focusing on armor. While low-level gear is relatively inexpensive, money can be scarce, especially for new players. It's unnecessary to upgrade every time you unlock a new weapon. Consider the XP rates and kill times—only upgrade your weapon when you notice a significant drop in performance. Armor upgrades can come later when you feel the need to enhance your defensive capabilities.

 

↖ Seeds

Gathering seeds as early as possible, especially for members, is highly recommended. By starting to farm herbs in the game, you can generate passive income. Plant the seeds and return later to collect the grown herbs, which can be sold on the Grand Exchange or used to create potions for additional experience. Seeds can be obtained from various sources such as killing monsters, engaging in skills like pickpocketing or woodcutting, or acquiring them from nests. Herb farming may not yield significant profits initially, but as you progress, it becomes a reliable source of income.

 

↖ Seeds for Farming

Farming is a profitable skill in RuneScape, and starting early will provide you with a steady income stream. Gather seeds from various sources, such as monster drops, pickpocketing, or woodcutting. As you progress, plant these seeds to grow herbs, which can be sold on the Grand Exchange or used to create potions for additional experience and profit.
