Best Order to Complete Quests in Old School RuneScape

While quests might not be the most important feature of Old School RuneScape for most players, it's never a good idea to neglect them. Quests not only help you progress faster but also give you lots of bonuses and make the amazing – though slightly confusing – world of the game easier to understand. If you want the quests to be nothing but useful to you, you should stick to our OSRS optimal quest guide.

In this blog post we'll discuss why the order actually matters, what tangible benefits quest completion brings you, and what the best order is.

🤔 Why Does the Order Matter?

OSRS is a game filled to the brim with content, and it's easy to lose your way when trying to figure out what you should do next. Even veteran players are sometimes confused – that's why the community has come up with the so-called OSRS optimal quest routes. These guides give you a sequence of quests that helps you earn more perks within a relatively short period of time.

For example, skill leveling can become much easier and faster if you follow the guidelines. The time you might otherwise waste on grinding can be used to complete certain missions focused on activities that help you level up skills.

You also get valuable rewards like coins, equipment, traveling options, and more. And for those of you who care about the story, the optimal sequence makes it easier to follow, too.

Here's an example of what anyone can achieve by following the right quest order – even in just 24 hours (video by FlippingOldschool):

Quick Coin Delivery 💰

Receive any amount of money fast, without having to grind manually. ArmadaBoost's OSRS coin delivery does exactly that: simply choose the amount you need and get the gold pieces safely – in minutes.

✅ What Do You Get for Completing All Quests?

First of all, you get plenty of coins and rewards, including all sorts of useful unlocks like balloon destinations and more. Secondly, you raise most of your skills to around level 60-70 (P2P) or 30+ (F2P).

Thirdly, you collect all the Quest Points: 327 as of October 2025 – and their number grows every once in a while. The F2P version lets you earn only 44 QP. QP are required to start certain quests, like Black Knights' Fortress, While Guthix Sleeps, and more.

After you've collected all the available QP, you become eligible to purchase a Quest Points Cape and a Quest Point Hood from the Wise Old Man in Draynor Village – either costs 99,000 coins. The cape is much more useful as it gives you an unlimited teleport to the Legends' Guild. The hood, on the other hand, is just a vanity item that's fun to wear – but that's about it.

Complete Quests Easier 👍

Some quests are notoriously tedious – yet they hold valuable items and important unlocks. ArmadaBoost's OSRS quest boost turns your quests into our professional players' job. We finish any tasks you ordered, you receive the rewards – now that's division of labor done right!

🐣 F2P OSRS Optimal Quest Order

If you're just starting out, it makes sense to try the free version of the game first. It has 22 quests and the best order to complete them is shown right below in the first massive table of our RuneScape optimal quest guide:

Finished it all? Great progress! Now most of your skills are close to level 40. Some might say, "It took me 100 quests to reach the same levels as the 22 F2P ones?"

Not quite – in the P2P version you have many more skills, and you raise them all more evenly with the optimal quest sequence. So it's safe to say that any member with 100 quests completed is miles ahead of any F2P player.

Also, here's another take on the order of things to do first in the P2P version, so if you prefer videos to texts and tables, take a look (video by Boom Epic Live):

But the adventure isn't even halfway over. Let's move on!
