Ancient Relics
Dungeons
While dungeons are unchanged, the Ancient Relics gamemode requires players to complete dungeons to increase their skill levels, which are otherwise locked to a very low level.
While dungeons can be completed in any order, the following is a suggested order based on the max hit of the boss of each dungeon, including a link to the guide to that dungeon, as well as the combat level cap the player will have for that dungeon.
Skills
At the start, your skills level will be limited to 10, which means that you will only have access to low level equipment at the start. However, over time, you will start to build up relics which will increase your level. Fishing and cooking will be locked out altogether meaning that dungeons are considerably harder.
Any XP you earn that pushes you over the ceiling cap will be lost, resulting in wasted Skill XP. Your mastery, however will continue to increase beyond the skill level, which can help give bonuses you would otherwise not be able to achieve.
This cap of XP especially important to consider with skills such as 
Cartography because there is only a finite amount of XP available for surveying, and if you start exploring too early it may be considerably harder to progress this skill later on. You should therefore avoid auto-survey until you are at least able to reach skill level 100 (ideally higher). And if you do explore (which is recommended) that you take note of ceiling cap so that you do not waste too much precious XP. Paper making and map upgrades do have unlimited XP but are a much slower way to gain XP in this skill.
No relics
At the start, you will find yourself with just 30 
Shrimp and 0
. With no weapons, or even a tutorial with useful gear, and a very low limit on what you can do in combat or skilling. The first dungeon is

, but if you try to run the dungeon now you will die quickly and are likely to lose you Shrimp when you inevitable die! It is therefore recommended that you start with some basic skilling, and target melee combat initially.
Start by 
Woodcutting. Chop down 
Normal Logs until you hit Level 10, and when unlocked chop 
Oak Logs. Open any 
Bird Nests and keep going until you have at least 3 of any seed (doesn't matter which) and when you have them plant them in farming. Anything you grow, you can eat, and food is going to be an ongoing challenge until fishing and cooking are unlocked. Burn the Normal Logs until you hit 
Level 10, and then burn all of your Oak Logs. You will you get some 
Ash from that can be buried to give you prayer points. At Level 10 start burning Oak Logs as these give slightly more ash. Do not light bonfires as the XP will go up in smoke.
Mine 
Tin Ore and 
Copper Ore in equal quantities until you hit the 
Level 10 limit. Sell any jewels you unearth, as these will give you some early and much needed . Next, smith 
Bronze Bar. As they become unlocked, smith 1 
Bronze Sword, 1 
Bronze Helmet, 1 
Bronze Boots and 1 
Bronze Gloves. This will be your basic armour set until your first relic!

Astrology to unlock
Iridan and when you have enough 
Stardust, increase the Attack Accuracy Rating to +3%. There is no limit to how much stardust you can get, but it is not a good trade-off to collect too much Stardust as this stage, and the unlocks become disproportionately expensive.
While you are here, also want to max out 
Level 10 so that you can grow 
potatoes as these will be your only food once your limited supply of Shrimp run out!
With some plants growing, and a basic melee build, it's time to hit the
