Quest points

Quest Points, often abbreviated as QP or QPS, are given to players after they complete Quests and are a measure of their completion of quests in RuneScape. Players can receive anywhere from 1-10 quest points from completing any given quest.

Any pay-to-play RuneScape player can have up to 315 quest points (as of 1 March 2011) which allows the player to wear the quest point cape and the helmet of trials. In RuneScape Classic, players can have up to 112 quest points. Meanwhile, free-to-play players can get up to 43 quest points with the release of Gunnar's Ground on 21 September 2010, the latest free-to-play quest. Miniquests, such as the Ghostly robes mini-quest or the Mage Arena, do not give any quest points.

Quests
One quest, Recipe for Disaster, gives one Quest Point upon completion, but has eight Sub-Quests which players can complete afterwards for one Quest Point each, and a Final Battle which gives one Quest Point upon completion, for a total of 10 Quest Points. One of the requirements for the "final battle" includes having 176 Quest Points, 9 of which are earned from the Sub-Quests and the various prerequisite Quests.

Another quest named Rag and Bone Man used to give 1 Quest Point when completed. Afterwards, there was an optional added section where players need to collect bones from a wish list. Completing the wish list section used to give another Quest Point, but after the release of Fur 'n' Seek it no longer rewards this Quest Point. Instead, completing the main quest rewards 2 quest points.



Quest point requirements

 * At 13 Quest points, players may start the Black Knights' Fortress quest.
 * At 33 Quest points, players can access the Champions' Guild, which is where players may start the longest free-to-play quest, Dragon Slayer.
 * Members will have access to additional Quests, and with higher levels, other guilds. Players need to have:
 * 33 Quest points to start the Wanted! quest.
 * 44 Quest points to start the Tears of Guthix quest.
 * 56 Quest Points to do the Heroes' Quest, which allows them to access the Heroes' Guild.
 * Upon earning 101 Quest points players may start the Swan Song quest, where they may aid the Wise Old Man in his final adventure.
 * After 108 Quest Points, players may start the Legends' Quest, which allows access to the Legends' Guild.
 * Upon earning 176 Quest points, players may finish the Recipe for Disaster quest by defeating the Culinaromancer, which allows access to many things, from metal gloves (like Dragon and Barrows) to access to new places (the bottom of the sea).
 * At 270 Quest points, a player may start the Grandmaster quest While Guthix Sleeps.
 * At 300 Quest points, players can talk to Xenia to receive the Helmet of Trials.

Trivia

 * More Quest Points also amounts to more time to collect tears in the Tears of Guthix activity.
 * In 2001, completing quests would add to the Influence Skill. The Influence Skill was later replaced by the Quest Point System.
 * Quest Points given as a reward for completing the quests aren't very dependent on its difficulty. Easy Quests like Gunnar's ground may give 5 Quest Points while many harder Quests like Dealing with Scabaras give only 1 Quest Point as a reward. However, a Quest's merit cannot only be judged by how many QPs it gives as a reward. Non-QP rewards also need to be accounted for. Quests with better rewards generally give less quest points than quests with worse rewards.
