OSRS Optimal Quest Guide For F2P Players: Fast & Efficient

OSRS Optimal Quest Guide For F2P Players: Fast & Efficient

There are a total of 22 free-to-play quests in OSRS, offering a total of 44 quest points. Completing F2P quests is a great way for new players to get into questing as they are easier and shorter than the P2P quests. If you want to complete all F2P quests as fast as possible, you should do them simultaneously, since most of the quests can be done in the same region.


In this guide, we have grouped the quests based on region and other factors to improve speed and efficiency for players aiming to complete all quests in F2P.


Chronicle

This has no requirement and can be used by F2P players, making it one of the best ways to get to Varrock when starting; it can be used to teleport just outside the Champion's Guild. It can be purchased from Diango’s Toy store located in Draynor Village for 300 coins, The Chronicle has a maximum of 1000 charges, and it must be charged with teleport cards before it can be used.
