Lumbridge

Introduction
Lumbridge (also known to players as Lumby or Lummy) is a town in the kingdom of Misthalin. It is the place where new players start their true RuneScape adventure after completing Tutorial Island. It is the default respawn point for players after death.

The name of the town is derived from the bridge that crosses the River Lum. South of the city is the Lumbridge Swamp.

Lumbridge is the default respawn point for players who die, though members can change it to Falador if they have done the Recruitment Drive quest, or Camelot if they have completed a King's Ransom.

There is also Lumbridge Castle, where players can start several quests and where there is also a bank to deposit coins or items. There was much controversy over the update that brought the tutors and the bank. Many people consider the additions to make the game easy. The forums are riddled with players trying to bring back "challenge" to the game.

Entrances
To enter lumbridge, you can use the bridge to the east along the path that goes ot Al Kharid and Varrock, the nothern path that leads form a farm, from the swamp to the south, or round the back of the castle.

Transportation

 * Lumbridge Home Teleport - A spell requiring 0 runes that all players on the standard spellbook can use. It takes about 10 seconds to cast, can only be used every 30 mins, and can be interrupted by combat.
 * Canoe Transport System - This transport system allows transportation to several landing points along the River Lum. Provided the player has the necessary woodcutting level and a usable axe in their inventory, they may use the system to reach several locations, including Lumbridge.
 * Zanaris - Those who have completed the quest Lost City can exit from Zanaris into the Lumbridge swamps.
 * Portal Chamber - Players with at least 50 construction can build a Lumbridge Teleportation Portal in their home. Using 100 law runes, 300 air runes, and 100 earth runes, a portal can be made that will allow infinite teleports to the area.
 * Lumbridge Teleport - Unlike the Lumbridge Home Port, this spell requires 33 magic, 1 law rune, 1 earth rune and 3 air runes to cast, and does not have a time limit.

Bank


The bank is on the top floor of Lumbridge Castle. There is the bank tutor that teaches players the basics of banking.

Recently, there have been many players trying to sell and buy accounts outside the bank here. Players passing through here should be aware that account selling/buying is against the rules, and could get them banned from the game permanently.

Also those who are doing Recipe for Disaster will have access to a bank chest in the Lumbridge Castle cellar.

Fred the Farmer's sheep farm
Fred the Farmer's is an excellent place to shear sheep to obtain wool which may be spun at the castle. Onions can be collected from the farmer's garden. Also, there is a log standing on the ground outside of Farmer Fred's house from which a bronze axe may be taken.

Cow pasture
Players can find cows and calves to kill for raw beef, cowhide, and bones with a dairy cow for milking.

Forge
The furnace here is useful for members using the agility shortcut from the mine, but generally unpopular as there is no bank or mine nearby, though it is well located if you wish to string crafted amulets or symbols.

General store
Many of the items available in this general store can also be picked up around the area. In free-to-play worlds it usually has more than 40,000 logs of many types, such as willow and oak. This is the result of heavy macro usage in this area.

Fishing spots
Level 20 Fishing is required to go fly-fishing for trout, or level 25 to go bait fishing for pike. Players cannot use a net here.

Goblin house


On the east side of the river, this building houses large numbers of level 2 goblins and an iron dagger respawn, though the entire area is crawling with spiders and goblins. This area is a very popular area for new players to start training.

Toll gate
Until you have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest, it will cost 10 coins to pass either way through this gate to Al Kharid, though it can be avoided with a long detour.

Lumbridge Swamp
Lumbridge Swamp is south of Lumbridge through the graveyard next to the altar and cooking range. It is home to many things, including the water altar, two mines, the fishing tutor and mining instructor, fishing spots, and the entrance to the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.

Saradomin Church


Father Aereck watches over his 230+ year old church of Saradomin here. There is also an altar to recharge Prayer points, and the prayer tutor.

Chicken coop
The chicken coop is a bit to the west of the cow pasture. Chickens can be killed there, dropping feathers and raw chicken along with bones. There are two egg spawns, one inside the chicken coop and one on the side. The chicken coop is commonly used for players to train in Prayer since all chickens drop bones and are very easy to kill.

Bob's Brilliant Axes


Bob's Brilliant Axes is a shop that is advertised on fliers dropped by many non-player characters. Bob buys and sells a limited range of axes: He also repairs Barrows equipment, axes and pickaxes for a price.
