Well the first thing would be to know the interface of the game; In the following image 👇 I will briefly explain what each button is and what it works for

As you noticed, I have indicated in the image five parts with which you will continuously interact.

runescape menu

1. In this menu with several buttons, we are going to find different functionalities, starting from left to right we have:

  • The button with two crossed swords; It is used to see information related to our character’s combat level and configure the form of attack/defence with which we will carry out each combat, for example, if you click the “auto retaliate” button. It will be marked as (on; red background), and now when someone attacks our character, he will automatically respond to the attack.
  • Button with bars, the second button will show you the skills and the level of each one; In this way, every time we train any skill. The progress will be reflected in this section; it is also important to clarify that the f2p members only have 15 skills enabled out of the 24, the others are achieved by being a member (I will explain below)
  • Snowflake-like icon; This section shows us the missions or quests of the game since it is the first time you enter, they will all be red, but when you complete any of the quests, they will turn green. It also shows us the quests of the member. If you click on the mini-buttons at the top of the menu (coloured snowflakes), you will be able to view the achievement diaries, minigames and kourend favour, which are another type of game in Runescape.
  • Suitcase icon, this is our portable inventory, here we will store all the objects that we are collecting, such as minerals, weapons, armour, runes etc …
  • button with an icon of a person, in this part the items that our character has on are displayed such as a weapon, armour, cape, boots etc … also at the bottom, there are four icons where the first shows us information on the amount of defence that the character has as well as magic damage and others according to the team of our character; it also tells us the weight, a critical data since it determines how much the character gets tired when running; the other three are for more advanced users such as knowing the price of an item in the grand exchange and case your character is killed which items would be saved and which others would be left on the ground (to pick them up until you only have 2 minutes)
  • Icon of a star, this section shows us the prayer (skill) and the levels that we have trained.
  • Book or papyrus icon, in this part we can see the spells that we have enabled; this is another panel of a skill (magic XP) the spells are enabled when you reach the level and have the necessary runes.
  • happy face icon, this is where we save the game contacts
  • Person icon with gear wheel, here are some account settings, and the surveys carried out by administrators to decide whether or not to implement something or improve some aspects etc.
  • Icon of two yellow faces, this part does not allow you to enter a chat clan. People speak little through that medium, but it can be beneficial when you need to find people who speak Spanish and help you.
  • In this section, the key icon is the rest of the account settings, such as sound, screen dimensions, etc …
  • Finally, we have an icon of a person dancing, in this section are the emotions, animations of dances, greetings etc. that our character performs.

2. In number two we have what would be the communication and information chats that the game gives us, for example when you use the armour of a higher level, the button that says “game on” will inform you of the reason why you cannot use that armour in this case that is of higher level. so for the other options such as messages from the other characters, private rooms to talk with a person or the trade that is when you are exchanging or buying/selling an object.

The “Report” button serves to inform the administrators of any suspicious behaviour on the part of a player (scam, theft, hack, etc …).

3. This button with an icon of a world is used to view the map, a beneficial element when you move from one city to another or when you want to find a specific place.

4. In this menu you will find relevant information about our character such as life (hitpoints), the amount of prayer we have or how tired our character is; If you want the character to run, you have to click the button with a boot, and it will start running

5. Finally, we have the button with an X that is the one that helps us change the server (world switcher) or to close the session in the game (logout).

F2p y member

There are two game modes in Runescape old school: for free users and the other for member users. When we first created our account, we are free users. We can access the game. Still, in a limited way, you will see to enter several places a membership will be necessary or to upload other skills such as construction, which is a skill with which we can have a house and other benefits membership will be required.
