'''RuneScape''' is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by [[Jagex]]. The game originally began as an experiment in 1998, where over the next three years it was developed until the original public beta was released in 2001. When the game got its remake in 2004, the original was renamed RuneScape Classic.


These guides can help players who are struggling with ''RuneScape''.
RuneScape involves '''building a character''', '''leveling up skills,''' and '''selling items in the RuneScape world'''.

== Skills ==
 
In ''Runescape'', there are things called "skills" which are tasks players can level up. For example, one of these skills is [[RuneScape/Skills/Cooking|cooking]]. When a player wants to cook, they will have to do a task, such as getting meat to cook on a fire. When the player finishes the task, they recieve get 'xp', or 'experience', towards that skill. For example, for cooking meat, players get 30 xp towards their cooking skill for successfully cooking a piece of meat. Players also have to reach a certain amount of experience to reach the next level. For example, at level 1, players need 83 xp to reach level 2. 
 
The maximum xp that players can earn in each skill is 200,000,000. So far, only 3 players have reached this mark.
 
There are 21 skills that players can raise in ''Runescape''. However, only 15 of these skills are available for free players, which are listed below. Combat (melee) has 4 skills that players can raise.

==Classes in RuneScape==
 
There are no solid classes in RuneScape. Character development is based on how each player develops his skills. For example, if you want to be a fighting character, you should develop your attack skills.
 
==Skills in RuneScape==
 
'''Attack :''' This skill determines how often your melee attacks hit. Also, the higher your attack is, the better melee weapons you can wield.
'''Strength :''' This skill determines the amount of damage your melee attacks do.
'''Defense :''' This skill determines how well you deflect your opponent's melee attacks. Also, the better your defense is, the better melee armor you can wield.
'''Hitpoints :''' This isn't really a skill; your hitpoints gradually increase based on the amount of experience you have in all of your combat skills. When your hitpoints reach 0, you are KO'd and are returned to your current spawning point.
'''Ranged :''' This skill determines the accuracy and power of your ranged attacks. With higher ranged levels, you are able to wield better ranged weapons and armor.
'''Magic :''' This skill determines the accuracy and high-hit rate of the various spells in RuneScape. The higher your magic level is, the more powerful spells you are able to cast and the better magic enchancing armor and weapons you are able to wield.
'''Prayer :''' This skill determines your devotion to RuneScape's various gods. The higher your prayer level is, the more useful protective and stat-enhancing prayers you can use and the longer you can pray.
