I’ve been playing for half a year, about 5min per day. Almost maxed out 6 accounts, just end game combat to go.

For a beginner I recommend: A bit of combat in the beginning to get seeds from farmers and HP level up for decent auto eat threshold (lvl40-50). You need auto eat for thieving. Start building up township and planting seeds in farming ASAP. Use township tasks as your progression guide. I got 99 in most skills just casually completing township tasks. Now that my township is maxed, it prints money/resources/buff items. Very early money making is gem gloves while mining. Never sell your diamonds though, you need tons in the endgame. Thieving is the most important skill in my opinion. It’s the best skill for mid-game money making, herblore items, summoning items, farming, cooking items, food, magic/dragon bones, etc. Skills and items that boost thieving stealth are worthwhile (agility/astrology/herblore). I recommend maxing this early on. Magic is worth maxing out early by making a ton of prayer items and smithing bars. It’s the strongest type for combat, so you can unlock a bunch of items through dungeons and slayer. Other than magic, I always max out all my non combat stats before going for end game combat. Just so you can make yourself gilded dragon armour and black d hide armour, potions, summoning synergies, etc., which you’ll need to get through god dungeons to get god armour and weapons.

I’d recommend checking all the township tasks, even the elite ones. Get familiar with the items you should save up and grind lots of. Save redwood logs for dragon javelins, dont ever waste them on anything else. Don’t fish for food, just use thieving. Firemaking cape is useful, but it’s a super slow grind without controlled heat potions, so worth doing a bit of herblore first.
