This quest strategy guide lists Old School RuneScape quests in terms of least amount of training required when completed sequentially. It is not necessarily the most time-efficient way to complete all quests, and does not take into account Achievement Diaries or experience gained in combat.

This list does not include suggestions for combat levels. Boss fights might be nearly impossible to do with the stats listed here. Always make sure to train up your combat stats to a level at which you're confident you can kill or survive dangerous parts of the listed quests.

Hover over a skill reward in the "New levels after finishing quest" column to see the exact total experience in the listed skill after completing the quest.

New and experienced players should use Player Owned Houses (POHs) to teleport across Gielinor to finish various quests. Benefits of using a POH are:

Train Agility icon Agility to 18 from 13
The Depths of Despair QG 1 59 20% favour with the Hosidius House is required to start.
