COMPLETE beginner's guide to Old School Runescape

Welcome to Old School Runescape! This is a general guide for anyone starting out, where my goal is to teach you how to learn the game, rather than giving you an exact checklist of what to do. I hope this guide helps, or that you learn at least one new thing from it. Make sure to check out other OSRS beginner guides on Youtube so you can get opinions from a wide variety of people. That way, you can use the cumulative knowledge you gain from a multiple sources to form your own conclusions on what you want out of this game.
