User talk:Drkstlkr/QuestCheckList

= About My Quest CheckList = For people who's interested in completing all, or at least most, of the quests available in RuneScape, it's sorted in the order I personally recommend doing them, depending upon the quest's difficulty (according to RuneScape's website, and then RuneScape Wiki's), overall game-play importance and rewards, and the quest's requirements (including other quests).

Below also includes commonly required and recommended items to do many quests, along with each of the Achievement Diarys, and I tried making this checklist as "printer-friendly" as possible, not including any quest links for each quest in the checklist. If you are looking for quest information, I recommend you click here. If you'd like to print-out this checklist, simply select what quests you'd like to print, and select "Selection" in the print window to only print what you selected.

I consider a quest more important if it allows the character access to a new skill, a new area, or new equipment versus those that give you a ton of experience. Why? Anyone can grind to gain the experience of what the latter quests can do, but until you complete certain quests, you can't access that new skill, area, or equipment. Here's a pattern I used to judge where a quest was placed:

1. Quest difficulty categorized by Jagex at http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewcategory.ws?cat_id=7 in terms of "Novice", "Intermediate", "Expert", "Master", and "Grandmaster". However, there were a few P2P quests that I had to move to a different difficulty category, usually because it depended upon a much harder quest to be completed first in order to do that quest. A good example is The Great Brain Robbery. Although Jagex considers this an "Experienced" quest, however, it requires Recipe for Disaster to be completed first, which is considered a "Master" quest. So, it falls right underneath it in the next difficulty category. Also, what levels determine difficulty rating is somewhat hard to categorize, however, here's my interpretation of the required individual combat and non-combat skill levels: Since RuneScape's level system starts from level 1 and the maximum level is 99, then I would highly recommend raising most of your individual combat and non-combat skill levels to the recommended requirements listed above before starting the more difficult quests. For example, if you've completed all of the Novice Quests and would like to start doing Intermediate Quests, then I recommend raising most, if not all, of your combat and other non-combat skills to at least level 41 before starting any of the Intermediate Quests. But, that's just my suggestion. Also, if your skills are a difficulty rating higher than what's recommended, you'll notice that completing these quests are usually far easier and quicker to complete. So, if both your combat and non-combat skills are in the "Experienced" category, you'll find that doing the Intermediate Quests easy and quick to complete. 2. How important the quest is according to RuneScape Wiki at Recommended Members Quests. Most of these quests usually open new skills, areas, and equipment to the player not available until these quests are completed; however, may be more difficult to complete than the other quests listed underneath it. So, be prepared! 3. If other quests in the same difficulty category depended upon these quests to be completed first. Can't complete quest "B" until quest "A" is completed first! Usually, these quests are somewhat easier to complete than the quests that depend upon them to be completed, but not always. 4. How difficult the remaining quests are rated, according to RuneScape Wiki's Quest List. I tried putting all of the five stars towards the bottom in each difficulty category, and the one and two stars towards the top. 5. How long a quest takes. I personally prefer doing shorter quests first over longer quests. 6. The remaining quests that all fall within all the above guidelines are lastly alphabetically listed. Sometimes, several quests are of about the same importance and difficulty rating, so not much else you can do but alphabetize them!
 * Novice: 1 - 40
 * Intermediate: 41 - 60
 * Experienced: 61 - 80
 * Master: 81 - 91
 * Grandmaster: 92 - 99

I find that having a Magic level of at least 58 and completed the Plague City and Watchtower quests help make teleportation around much faster, including to Ardougne and Yanille. Also, having a Runecrafting level of 55 or better makes teleportation a lot cheaper by making your own Law runes and multiple Air runes! Carrying around Lava, Mud, and/or Steam staffs also help reduce the dependency upon other runes.

After completing the Hero's Quest, I like to keep about 27 Glory amulets in my bank account so that I can also teleport to a few other places quicker. Once I've used-up all of my 27 Glory amulets, I simply visit the Hero's Guild and recharge them all at once. I also have my Player-owned house located in Taverley so I can teleport close to the Hero's Guild to recharge my Glory amulets much quicker.

The more various ways you can teleport around the world of RuneScape, the faster you can complete quests.

I highly recommend to at least add or start each and every Achievement Diary possible, even if you have no plans of ever doing or completing any of them. The reason why is because many of the tasks involved are common tasks many of us do to train and level our various skills. I unknowingly completed many of the Varrock's Achievement Diary Easy Tasks simply because I was already training and leveling various skills in the area. Always at least start all of the Achievement Diaries you have access to as soon as a new one is published from Jagex, and if you train and level your skills in the area for a while, you may "accidentally" complete many of the required tasks from the Achievement Diary as well.

I'm definitely open to any and all opinions on my Quest CheckList! If you think there's a quest that deserves to go higher-up on the list or vice-versa, please let me know! Also, trying to evaluate all of the available quests in RuneScape and determine what quests would be considered more important than the others is no easy task! So, if I do miss one that does seem to be extremely important or unimportant, please let me know!

Also, I will try to update this checklist as soon as any new quests come out, but due to my personal time, I may not be able to update this list as quickly, or I may simply miss a new quest came out recently. Either way, please post a message on here.

= Common/Recommended Quest F2P (Free-To-Play) and P2P (Pay-To-Play) Items =
 * Best equipment possible (depending upon combat skill levels, and quest restrictions and requirements)
 * Best Combat-related, Prayer, and Anti-Poison/Disease Potions possible you can buy and/or make (usually one or two of each for most combat-involved quests)
 * Cooked Lobsters or better food (at least four, more if possible, for most combat-involved quests)
 * Staff and Runes to teleport to multiple locations (recommend using lava, mud, and/or steam Battlestaffs)
 * Teleportation Jewellery, such as a Games necklace and/or a Ring of duelling
 * 2k+ Coins (or more, depending upon the minimum quest requirements)
 * Bowls, Buckets, Jugs, Empty Pots, and Rope (keeping several of each item banked helps reduce time spent gathering these items)
 * Knife, Pestle and Mortar, and Tinderbox
