==Skills== | |||
Throughout the game the skills level are capped (initially to 10) which means that you will need to carefully manage resources and equipment early on. Completing a dungeon will raise your skill caps and so this is a good first goal. Fishing and cooking are locked out until much later making dungeons considerably harder, and you will need creative ways of getting those foods with higher HP. | |||
Any XP | Any skill XP earned over the ceiling cap will be deleted, but the mastery and global mastery XP work as normal. | ||
=== Ancient Relics === | |||
Performing any skill will give you a (low) chance of discovering an [[Ancient Relic]]. Whilst it is possible to get all of the [[Ancient Relics]] without completing dungeons, it is not recommended. There is however a guaranteed [[Ancient Relic]] when you reach skill level 20 which is likely to happen after completing your first dungeon. | |||
== | === Lesser Relics === | ||
While skilling you will be rewarded with [[Lesser Relics]] which can be equipped to give boosts to that skill. One [[Lesser Relic]] will be used for every action. | |||
=== Skill Balancing === | |||
When levelling up your skills it is important to consider how each skill interacts with your other skills and abilities. For example, if you level {{Skill|Smithing}} it will give you access to stronger weapons and armour, but to use this skill you will also not {{Skill|Mining|Mine}} for the raw materials and a higher combat level to wear the items you have made. Similarly, if you level {{Skill|Firemaking}} to soon then you will also need {{Skill|Woodcutting}} (or {{Skill|Thieving}}) to balance out this skill. | |||
=== When to fully explore cartography === | |||
Early exploration of {{Skill|Cartography}} is recommended as it unlocks many great rewards. | |||
However, it is not strongly recommended that you do not attempt to fully explore {{Skill|Cartography}} (or use Auto Survey) until you are able to reach {{SkillReq|Cartography|100}}. Surveying has a finite amount of XP available, and any that you waste early on could limit how much of the map you ultimately reveal. | |||
Map creation and upgrades have unlimited XP, but these are not a generous source of XP, and will consume a lot of {{ItemIcon|Paper}}. | |||

After completing a dungeon, you will be offered a randomized selection of skills and level caps to select from. Whilst some choices might be straight-forward, it can be challenging weighing up the benefits and of each skill. | |||
Here are some things to consider: | |||
* '''Thieving:''' Once you get to {{SkillReq|Thieving|25}} you will unlock {{Icon|Assistant Cook|type=thieving}} which will be a great source of food. Also, you can use {{Skill|Thieving}} to get {{GP}} as well as some useful drops or ammo, as there are very few other ways to make money at this time. | * '''Thieving:''' Once you get to {{SkillReq|Thieving|25}} you will unlock {{Icon|Assistant Cook|type=thieving}} which will be a great source of food.

For example, killing {{MonsterIcon|Junior Farmer}} until you have {{ItemIcon|Potato Seeds|qty=3}} so that you can start {{Skill|Farming}} for extra food. In time, the passive benefits of {{Skill|Farming}} will give you a huge boost. | ||
* '''Astrology:''' Early on, there are some good passive boosts available in {{Skill|Astrology}}. However, the cost of unlocking increases quickly, so early it's a good idea to focus on small boosts, rather than trying to max out . | * '''Astrology:''' Early on, there are some good passive boosts available in {{Skill|Astrology}}.

It is going to be a long time before you unlock {{Skill|Fishing}} and {{Skill|Cooking}}, so these re-supplied will be invaluable.

* The {{POIIcon|Holy Isles}} at {{Hex|17|17}} will reward {{ItemIcon|Medium Urn|qty=100}} and if buried will give you a big {{Skill|Prayer}} advantage. | |||
* The {{POIIcon|Castle of Kings}} at{{Hex|21|16}} gives you {{ItemIcon|Knight's Cape}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Mithril Platebody}} which is a great way to get some early damage reduction (DR). You will need {{SkillReq|Defence|20}}. | |||
