OSRS Optimal Quest Guide for P2P

Completing all the quests in OSRS is quite an accomplishment as certain quests are incredibly long and difficult, but they are also rewarding as they unlock different content in the game. Players can save time by taking the proper route to finish all quests. Certain quests grant experience bonuses in skills needed to complete other quests, therefore finishing those first will save time rather than training those skills.

Additionally, finishing certain quests can unlock content in the game that will shorten the time needed to finish other quests. For example, the plague city quest unlocks the Ardougne spellbook teleport and teleport tablet, which can be used to return to Ardougne quickly while completing quests in the future.

This guide takes into consideration these factors to help you reduce the time needed to complete all quests in the shortest time possible.
