User talk:Drkstlkr/QuestCheckList

= About My Quest CheckList = For Players who are 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 Gameplay 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 visit the List of quests. Also, if you'd like to see other detailed Quest information, I highly recommend visiting these websites below: More often than enough, if a website doesn't explain a problem you're having while doing a Quest, one of the others will. If you're using a tabbed web browser such as Internet Explorer 7+ or Mozilla Firefox, it's a good idea to have a tab opened for the Quest you're doing on each of these websites.

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.

Quest Order
Here's the order in which deems a Quest more important than other Quests:
 * 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 at least partially 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 much of 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:
 * Novice: 1 - 39
 * Intermediate: 40 - 59
 * Experienced: 60 - 79
 * Master: 80 - 91
 * Grandmaster: 92 - 99
 * 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 40 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, but the rewards seem insignificant.  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!  Consider ALL F2P (Free-to-play) Quests extremely important, since some other Quests depend upon them being completed!
 * 3. If other Quests in the same difficulty category depend upon other Quests to be completed first. Can't complete Quest "B" until Quest "A" is completed first!  Rarely, few 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 List of quests. 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, and most often, longer Quests depend upon the easier, shorter Quests to be completed first.
 * 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!

Teleportation
The more various ways you can teleport around the world of RuneScape, the faster you can complete Quests.
 * While Questing, you'll find yourself going to places you've never been before. Even though RuneScape offers an in-game World map, sometimes it's much faster to have a picture of Runescape's World Map downloaded and saved for quick access.  Don't forget to download a new version of the World map each month!
 * 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 Runecrafting your own Law runes and multiple Air runes!  Carrying around a Lava battlestaff, Mud battlestaff, and/or a Steam battlestaff also help reduce the dependency upon several Elemental runes.
 * After completing the Hero's Quest, I like to keep about 27 or 28 Amulet of glorys 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 Amulet of glorys, 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 Amulet of glorys much quicker.
 * Also, try to complete other Quests that allow Teleportation to other areas, such as the Fairy Tale quest series and Lunar Diplomacy.
 * Tip.It Runescape Help offers a Getting Around Guide that's very informative, and even an interactive World map of their own.

Achievement Diarys
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 for Training and Level our various Skills. I unknowingly completed many of the Varrock's Achievement Diary's Easy Tasks simply because I was already Training and Leveling various Skills in the area. Always at least start all of the Achievement Diary 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.

Updates
I will try to update this checklist as soon as any new Quests or Achievement Diarys 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 that 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 Magic, Melee, and Ranged Armour and Weapons possible (depending upon current Combat levels, and Quest restrictions and requirements)
 * Weight-reducing equipment, such as a Spotted cape (or preferably a Spottier cape), Boots of lightness, and Penance gloves; so your Run Energy doesn't deplete as quickly carrying around a lot of Weight from your Equipment and Items
 * Best Combat-related Potions (Attack potions, Defence potions, Strength potions, etc.), Prayer potions, Relicym's balm for Disease, and Anti-poison potions you can possibly 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)
 * Elemental staves (highly recommend using a Lava battlestaff, Mud battlestaff, and/or Steam battlestaff), several Elemental runes, and several Law runes to teleport to multiple locations
 * Teleportation Jewellery, such as several Amulet of glorys, a Games necklace and/or a Ring of duelling to teleport to other places around the World map
 * 2,000+ Coins (or more, depending upon the minimum Quest requirements)
 * Several Bowls, Buckets, Jugs, Empty pots, and Rope (keeping at least 14+ of each Item Banked helps reduce time spent gathering these items, and most of these Items can be purchased at most General stores)
 * Hammer, Knife, Needle and Thread, Pestle and Mortar, Spade, and a Tinderbox (again, most of these Items can be purchased at most General stores)
 * And, of course, the required Quest items
