Quests

Quests are groups of interrelated tasks that can be completed for rewards such as items, skills, experience, or quest points. They are labelled with a blue star or compass rose icon on the player's map. Quests can be played only once, not like minigames which can be repeated.

The Quest Journal on the interface has the complete list of quests and are coloured coded:
 * Red - not started
 * Yellow - started
 * Green - completed

As of July 24, 2007, there are a total of 127 quests with 18 free and 109 members-only quests (not including the sub-quests of Recipe for Disaster and the wish-list of the Odd Old Man from the Rag and Bone Man quest), offering a total of 246 quest points. (This includes one additional quest point which is gained by completing the wish-list of the Odd Old Man from the Rag and Bone Man quest.) Free players can only get up to 39 quest points.

The table on the right shows the levels required to complete every quest in the game, however players may use temporary boosts to cheat these requirements with some of the quests.

Players who have the maximum number of quest points are able to wear the Quest Points Cape of Achievement. However, whenever a new quest is available, the cape and hood will automatically unequip off a player until the player completes the new quest.

The 100th quest Recipe for Disaster is actually 10 quests in 1 with 8 subquests ranging from easy to very hard.

The 50th quest Legends Quest was released on August 20, 2003 under RuneScape Classic.

The 100th members' quest Cold War was released on January 29, 2007.

The last free quest Rune Mysteries was released on December 1, 2003, the launch date of the RuneScape 2 beta.

Quest release dates are listed in the List of recent quests.
