In the early stages, these skills carry with them useful benefits:
* '''Thieving:''' Once you get to {{SkillReq|Theiving|25}} you will unlock {{MonsterIcon|Assistant Cook}} which will be a great source of food. Also, you can use {{Skill|Theiving}} to get {{GP}} as well as other useful drops.

* '''Astrology:''' Early on, there are some good passive boosts available in {{Skill|Astrology}}. The unlocks double each time, so early on focus it is best to unlock the cheaper boosts, rather than trying to max out each item.
* '''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 .
* '''Summoning:''' This gives a big boost and is needed for the higher strength mobs and dungeons. For example, {{Summon|Goblin Theif}} is a good early summon that will help give the advantage in combat.

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|Smelting}} 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|Theiving}}) to balance out this skill.

When any skill reaches level 20 you will earn an [[Ancient Relic]] reward. The Ancient Relic will be selected at random, and may benefit the skill itself or help with other skills. These rewards may help direct your play-style, and could even influence how you approach the dungeons or other skills.

Some skills, such as {{Skill|Astrology}}, give added boosts. Idling these skills will increase your chances of discovering an [[Ancient Relis|Ancient Relic]], but these will happen naturally too as you play the game. Whilst it can be advantageous to search for these items early, it is also a good idea to raise the ceiling cap as the chance of discovering relics increases as you progress due to the many boosts you discover along the way.

In these early levels, it is all about striking a balance between your skill caps, completing dungeons, and discovering [[Ancient Relics]].
