- Travel to Varock
(!!after you come out the fields go east and then north until you can enter the city!!)
Once in varock you should head east until you find the dummies.
Train on the dummies until the message apears:
"there is nothing more to learn from hitting a dummie"
- A word of caution! If you leave varock by going south,
You will pass the dark wizards wich are dangerous.
- Killing cow's is a good way of exp and money( cow hides sell for 100+ each )
- Free gem cutting is not always a scam

/Scams\
- Free item trimming is ALWAYS a scam.
- People who say that jagex blocks your pass is a LIE.
- Jagex will never message you or ask your pass.
- If someone offers an amount of money that is worth a lot more then your item, beware!

/A word of caution\
- You CAN be killed by other players in the wilderness.
- If a lag apears( connection lost..) you can be killed.
- The karamja vulcano is filled with tough monsters that can kill you if your not 30+.

/Information\
- A crown like item(partyhat)is a very valuable item.( 30milion+)
colors= green, purple, blue, red, white, yellow.
- A santa hat is a very valuable item. ( 5 milion+)
- a dragon like mask wich is called halloween mask is a very valuable item( 3 milion+)
- Items that are trimmed are worth easily 100k+ to 3milion
( that have a silver, gold, red , green , white border)
-If people have a crown in front of there name,
they are a player mod(silver crown) or a jagex staff member(gold crown)
-Scythes and bunney ears, zombie masks, yoyo's, scarfes and hats and rubber chickens are untradeable
/money\
-f2p-
- mining and selling rune escense( 40+ each )
- killing cows and selling the hides( 100+ each )
- buying mind runes at the rune shop's and sell them for 20+ ea at large amounts
- cutting wilow/ yew trees is a good way
- mining iron/coal works realy well
- picking flax works good for a new member, do not string but just sell
you can pick 2 flax in the time needed to string 1, flax= 100 ea, b-string= 150ea
Here it ends for the moment, but expect more soon...

Not too bad. But would you mind if you try to space the sections out? Putting some colour on sub-headings won't hurt...

Yeah, it's a bit unorganized and stuff, and the Lumbridge map needs a bit of work (All circles same size, make them actual circles instead of ovals on a couple, just take off Lost City, if they're new they won't be able to do it anyways) but I think it's good overall, and with some editing and revising would be quite good.

Given that tutorial island is itself a tutorial I doubt we'd need a 'guide' as to how to get past it.

On the other hand, extending the last portion of the guide after getting to Lumbridge WOULD be useful as a 'getting started' article. Things to do, where to go to do skills, stuff not to fall for. Expand that.

As I said on msn, it's a good start. Few suggestions though:
  • Instead of circles on map, maybe little squares, imo, it would look a little nicer.
  • Maybe instead of point form, put it into little sentences, or atleast organize it a lot better.
  • Little more specific in some areas may also help




Edit: That looks a lot better. It's getting there, keep up the hard work.

Something to add into a new user guide might be the official runescape forums.

Tomisme's price guide under Item Discussion is quite handy. I'm always referring many people to this. Of course it's never 100% accurate, and rarely will you get the top listed price on that guide unless you want to spend a lot of time trying to sell. But it's handy to get an idea of what things might be worth.

I'm amazed at how many players have never checked that out.

I was thinking, maybe add a couple ways to make some cash off the start and some decent areas to start training.

Maybe a little bit of info on the wilderness? Like the dangers of it, maybe list the main things that are out there (example: Hob Gob Mines, skeletons & zombies).

Sorry, I didn't look that hard at it. And make a little quick page on Geocities or something, put it up on there. Or, you could pm me the code with all the links and such, and I can put it up on my hosting stuff.
