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 291 quest points (as of 13 October, 2009.) which allows the player to wear the Quest Points Cape of Accomplishment. RuneScape Classic players can have up to 112 quest points. Meanwhile, Free-to-play players can get up to 42 quest points, if they have completed the 2 holiday quests, Swept Away, and Myths of the White Lands.

Miniquests, such as the Ghostly robes mini-quest or the Mage Arena, do not give 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 gives 1 Quest Point when completed. Afterwards, there's an optional added section where players need to collect bones from the wish list. Completing the additional section used to give another Quest Point, but after the release of Fur 'n' Seek it no longer rewards this Quest Point.



Guilds
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 55 Quest Points to do the Heroes Quest, which allows them to access the Heroes' Guild. Upon earning 108 Quest Points, players may start the Legends Quest, which allows access to the Legends' Guild. And upon earning 176 Quest Points, players may finish the Recipe for Disaster quest, which allows access to many things, from Metal Gloves (like Dragon and Barrows) to access to new places (the bottom of the sea), and at 270 Quest Points, a player may start one of the two Grandmasters Quest, While Guthix Sleeps.

Trading & Trade Limits
On 2 January 2008, Jagex introduced the Trade Limit system. The amount of Quest Points affected the difference in value players could trade. Players with 270 Quest Points have the maximum trading limit of 60,000 GPs.

Below is the table of the trade limits in combination of Quest Points:

Trivia

 * More Quest Points also amounts to more time to collect tears in the Tears of Guthix Minigame.
 * On 2 January 2008, Dealing with Scabaras was released. With its release came the 250th Quest Point.
 * 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 dependant on its difficulty. Easy Quests like Romeo & Juliet give 5 Quest Points while many harder Quests like Dealing with Scabaras give only 1 Quest Point as a reward. However, a Quest's difficulty cannot only be judged by how many QP it gives as a reward. Non-QP rewards also need to be accounted for. Even though Romeo & Juliet gives 5 QP, it gives no other form of reward upon completion; while other, much harder quests, give less QP but more XP and item/cash rewards.
 * The first Grandmaster Quest was released on 26 November 2008, called While Guthix Sleeps.
