Lumbridge

Template:Relativelocation

The town of Lumbridge.

Lumbridge (colloquially Lumby or Lummy) is the town where the chatter of those fresh from Tutorial Island mingles with the dismay of those who just lost a fight. Lumbridge gets its name from the bridge that crosses the River Lum. South of the city is the Lumbridge Swamp.

After completing Tutorial Island, this is where you start your true RuneScape adventure. If you die, you respawn here (Members can change their respawn to Falador if they have done the Recruitment Drive quest). There's a non-player character called the Lumbridge Guide who helps newcomers get used to the game, as well as the Lumbridge Castle, where you can start several quests and where also is a bank to drop your items.

Places of Interest

Sheep farm

The Sheep Shearer quest may be started here, while it is also 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

Cows and calves to kill for raw beef, cowhide, and bones with a dairy cow for milking.

Forge

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 sold here can also be picked up around the area.

Fishing spots

Level 20 Fishing is required to go fly-fishing for trout, or level 25 to go bait fishing for pike. You 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, though it can be avoided with a long detour.

Lumbridge Castle

The Cook's Assistant and Recipe for Disaster quests may be started here, while the Rune Mysteries quest can be started by talking to the Duke upstairs. The spinning wheel, used in Crafting, is also located upstairs. If you have started the Recipe for Disaster Quest, there is a bank in the Cook's basement, as well as a wide variety of cooking ingredients and cooking implements to buy. Along with the Lumbridge tutors update, came a free bank on the top floor of the castle.

The basement is a place of interest for new players, as it has training on level 2 spiders and spawns of gloves and leather boots. It also contains the entrance to the Dorgeshuun Mines.

Spawns:

North stairs: Bronze arrow
Kitchen: Pot, jug, bowl
Basement: Bucket, knife, gloves, leather boots
South stairs: Mind rune
Second floor: Bronze dagger
Top of Castle: 4 Logs

At the top of one of the gate towers, two bronze pickaxe spawns may be found

Saradomin Church

An altar to recharge your prayer points, and The Restless Ghost quest may be started here.

Bob's Brilliant Axes

Advertised on fliers dropped by many non-player characters.

Buys and sells a limited range of axes:

Bronze pickaxe
Woodcutting axes in bronze, iron or steel
Battleaxes in iron, steel or mithril

Also repairs Barrows armour, axes and pickaxes for a price.

Chicken coop

The chicken coop is a bit to the west of the cow pasture. Chickens can be killed there, dropping feathers and raw meat 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.

Bank

The bank was added in a more recent update. It is on the top floor of Lumbridge Castle. There is also a tutor that teaches you the basics of banking.

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