It is not uncommon to see well over a hundred players in Yanille at any given moment.


 * - Yanille is considered as one of the best place to do firemaking, players make fire on the road leading to the east from the bank.

Wizards' Guild
The Magic Guild requires 66 magic to enter, and high level wizards can buy runes and mystic robes, mine rune essence, and range or mage captured Zombies for experience.

There are also 4 portals to other magical places in RuneScape located in the guild.

See "Wizards' Guild" for more details.

Hunter shop
The hunter shop sells various items for players training the Hunter skill. Yanille is conveniently located just north of Feldip Hills, a major hunting area.

Pet shop
Yanille has a Pet shop near the Hunter shop. It is a shop selling summoning pets. For details, see Yanille Petshop.

Dragon Inn
You can buy three types of beer in the Dragon Inn.
 * Beer - just like in any other Inn.
 * Dragon Bitter - increases strength by 2 and attack by -3 temporarily.
 * Greenman's Ale - Increases herblore by 1 temporarily.

Bert and the sand pit
Bert is the starting point for the Hand in the Sand quest, once this is completed, you can ask Bert for 84 sand to be delivered to your bank every day. You can also use the Lunar Magicks spell NPC Contact to ask Bert for your sand without visiting Yanille.

There is also a sand pit to the west of Bert's hut, where you can collect sand in buckets for use in the Crafting skill.

He also has a range and a sink in his hut.

House Portal
Just west of Bert's house is a house portal. To move a house to this portal you must have 50 construction and pay any estate agent 25,000 coins to move it.

Players often move their house here because of the proximity to the bank.

Yanille Mine
Yanille mine is located northeast of the city, it is one of the closest mines to a bank in the game, and provides excellent experience for miners wishing to get levels quickly. You can find the following ores at the mine:
 * 1 coal
 * 8 iron
 * 4 clay
 * 2 copper
 * 7 tin
 * 2 mithril

Dungeon
Yanille Dungeon can be very useful to high level players training herblore, but high levels of agility are required to penetrate deep into the dungeon. There are two ways of entering the dungeon, either just north of the city by slashing a spider web with an edged weapon or knife, or by having 82 thieving and entering the dungeon just south of the bank.

Watchtower
The watchtower is located just outside the northwest wall of Yanille. It is the start of the Watchtower quest, and the place you teleport into when you use the watchtower teleport spell. You can find watchmen on the second floor who require 65 Thieving to steal from. They yield 60 coins, bread, and 137.5 experience per pickpocket. There is also a fountain just outside the watchtower.

Players needing faster access to either the dungeon, or the bank, or the watchtower (travelling between two of the three) will find the agility shortcut under the wall, that requires just 16 agility to use.

Anvils
The anvils in Yanille are probably the second closest to the bank in the game, the closest being Varrock west bank. Many high level smiths choose to smith here because it's quieter, and they can also occasionally go into the Magic Guild to buy runes that they can sell at a profit later.

Cooking Shop
The cooking shop in Yanille sells several items, namely:
 * pie dishes
 * apples
 * cake tins
 * bowls
 * potatoes
 * tinderboxes
 * jug
 * pots
