Getting Around Guide

Introduction

In your many endeavours to explore and experience the wonders of the RuneScape world, you will have undoubtedly come across the problems of traversing great distances in the shortest possible time - to get to a party on time, your next clue location or to meet your friend like you promised. Read on to learn about the many ways of saving time, taking shortcuts and avoiding long walks in the wonderful scenery.

As you explore the world, you might want to use the Jagex world map which pops up in game by clicking the world picture next to your minimap, or alternatively utilise our own interactive world map when getting around. The transportation icons (arrows) on the maps quickly identify key locations.

Running and Energy

You have the option of choosing to walk or run from where you are to where you click to go next. Running is twice as fast as walking. To toggle between running and walking, click the run icon found next to the minimap.

Run-Escape!

It is also possible to run for a short time instead of running until your energy is consumed. Just hold CTRL when you click and you will run until you reach that spot. The next time you click, assuming you aren't still holding CTRL, you will be walking again.

However, the two factors of energy and weight will play a vital role when you consider whether to walk or run. When you walk, you do not lose energy. When you run, you lose energy. Energy recovers automatically back up to 100% when you are not running. There are several methods and many items that can help recharge energy.

Weight affects running because more weight will use up your energy faster. To check your weight, you need to open the equipment stats menu. The total weight carried is shown as in below image.

Equip Screen

Wearing certain weight-reducing items can help to counter the effect of a heavy inventory, which will let your run energy last longer. However, note that reducing your weight below zero will make no difference. Note that all weight-reducing items are members only.

Weight Reducing Items
Name Picture Effect Requirements
Spotted cape Spotted Cape -2.5kg 40 Hunter

Wicked legs Wicked legs -8kg 55 Runecrafting
Agile legs Agile Legs -10kg 85 Agility
Wicked robe top Wicked robe top -10kg 80 Runecrafting
Agile top Agile Top -12kg 90 Agility
Return to Top

Restoring Energy

You can recharge your run energy several different ways. The most common ways to recharge it are to allow it to restore naturally, using helpful items (see section below), and resting. When restoring energy naturally, the "auto-run" feature will enable you to begin running again automatically as soon as your recharge rate reaches 40%.

For members, the higher your Agility, the faster your energy will recover. Note that restoration advantages from agility do not carry over to free servers.

Ga Restsopts N Resting allows you to restore your run energy (as well as your life points) at a faster rate than normal. The rate at which you recover energy during resting depends on your Agility level. You can rest anywhere in RuneScape by right clicking the run energy icon next to the minimap. While your character is resting, he or she will sit on the ground and the run icon will change into a person sitting down.
Resting Look for the music icon Musician Icon on the minimap to find bards or musicians throughout RuneScape. Musicians can restore your energy even faster than normal resting. You can choose to rest in front of a musician by right clicking on them and selecting the "Listen-to" option. Alternatively you can simply use the rest button while near a musician. Listening to a musician will cause your character to sit on the ground and the run icon will change into a person listening to music.
Resting with Music
Ga Musician N
Musician Locations
Misthalin and Morytania (East) Asgarnia and Islands (Centre) Kandarin (West) Wilderness

* In order to recharge by the unmarked musician in Pollnivneach, sit near Ali the Snake Charmer by the south door of the bar.

** Resting anywhere within taverley and Burthorpe will count as resting next to a musician.

If you're not one to sit around and take breaks, you can restore your run energy on the go by making use of various energy restoring items. These are listed in the table below:

Energy Recharge Items

Teleport Spells

Besides running around on foot, players like to make use of other much faster methods of transportation. One such method is teleports, which allow you to teleport directly to major cities and locations all across the RuneScape world. As you increase your Magic level, you will gain access to more of these teleports. Note that spells in grey rows are members only. Refer to the magic guide for more details on these spells.

Finally, regardless of which spellbook you are currently using, you will have access to the all encompassing Home Teleport spell. This spell allows you to teleport to various lodestones in the world, spread across a diverse range of locations. Unlike other teleport spells, it requires no runes and no experience is gained from it. Additionally, this teleport spell takes time to cast, so is not suitable for combat situations as, if you get interrupted, the spell will fail. You can however use vis wax for quick teleports which will immediately teleport you and skip the usual animation for home teleportation, each vis wax provides 10 quick teleports. You can cast this spell as often as you like. Refer to the next section for more information on the Lodestone Network.

Lodestone Network

Spread across the world are ancient teleportation beacons known as lodestones. When you cast your Home Teleport spell, you will be presented with a map of the world and icons representing the lodestones you have unlocked. Selecting any of these icons will teleport you to the respective lodestone with your Home Teleport spell. Right-clicking your Home Teleport spell will give you the option to automatically direct your Home Teleport spell to the last lodestone you travelled to, bypassing this interface entirely.

Loadstonemap

However, not all of the lodestones can be teleported to immediately; some are inactive, and will need to first be activated before you can teleport to them via the Home Teleport spell. This be can done by travelling to the lodestone and activating it, after which its corresponding icon on your Home Teleport interface will be unlocked. Lodestones in grey rows can only be unlocked by members.

The various lodestones are described in detail in the table below:

Fairy Ring Network (members only)

The Fairy Rings, accessed by starting the A Fairy Tale Part II - Cure a Queen quest, provide an extremely extensive network of travel. You must be wielding a dramen or Lunar staff to use any fairy ring, unless you have completed A Fairy Tale Part III - Battle at Orks Rift, which allows for use of the fairy rings without these items. All fairy rings outside of the Lost City of Zanaris will only take you back to Zanaris, where you can dial to teleport to another destination. Using the Zanaris fairy ring brings up three dials (like a combination lock) which you can click to change the destination of your teleport.

Getting Around Fairy Ring Interface

After you have traveled to a fairy ring, it will be added to the Travel log, which lists the codes you have already travelled to. When you click on an entry, it will automatically adjust the dials for you. When the combination is adjusted as desired, click the "Teleport to this location" words at the bottom.

Note that you cannot use the Fairy Ring network when you are teleblocked.

Click here to view the
Fairy Ring Network Map Page

The list of codes on the Fairy Ring Map PAge shows the useful destinations by roughly dividing the RuneScape map into three sections: West, Central, and East. These rough divisions are intended to help players plan their travel. The locations are listed from north to south for each area.

A few possible combinations and destinations take you to isolated or island locations with no monsters, nothing to do and nowhere else to go. Most unused combinations (not included in any of the tables) bring you back to Zanaris, within a few steps of the fairy ring.

Spirit Tree Network (members only)

Once you have completed the members Tree Gnome Village quest, you can use the various Spirit Trees dotted around the world to aid you in your travels. Below are some of the locations of Spirit Trees:

  • Tree Gnome Village (Ancient tree)
  • Tree Gnome Stronghold (Ancient tree)
  • North-east of Grand Exchange in Varrock
  • Khazard Battlefield
  • Mobilising Armies Command Centre

Spirit Trees generally have two forms, young and ancient. Young Spirit Trees can only be teleported to from ancient Spirit Trees, and will only teleport you to the Tree Gnome Village Spirit Tree, while ancient Spirit Trees can teleport you to any other Spirit Tree. Simply speak to a Tree to use the network.

After completing the Grand Tree quest, you will be able to use the Tree Gnome Stronghold Spirit Tree to teleport to other Spirit Trees.

Level 83 farmers have the option of growing a young spirit Tree at one of three patches: west of Draynor, south-east Etceteria, or north-east Brimhaven. You are only permitted to have one Spirit Tree planted at a time. After having finished The Prisoner of Glouphrie Quest, a second Spirit Tree can be planted if you also have 86 Farming.

If you have reconnected the dying Spirit tree to the Anima Mundi in The Path of Glouphrie quest you will be given a new option for Spirit Tree teleporting.

  • Mountains east of the Poison Waste

Additionally, you will also gain the ability to teleport between any two trees, without having to make use of an ancient Tree.

Transportation by Air (members only)

Ingenious adventurers will be able to make use of various gravity-defying methods of transportation. This section covers these methods, which include gnome gliders, hot air balloons, eagles and magic carpets.

Gnome Glider Network

Once you have completed the Grand Tree quest, you can take advantage of the many Gnome glider locations to fly across RuneScape. Shown below is the map you see when you click on the Gnome pilot, with the translations shown as well. Gliders across the world will take you to the Grand Tree, and from that hub you will be able to fly to other gliders. Note that travelling to the Digsite location is one-way.

The glider option at the Feldip Hills is unlocked after completing the One Small Favour quest, and the glider option at the Tree Gnome Village is unlocked after completing the Prisoner of Glouphrie quest.

Gnome Air

If you are doing or have completed the Monkey Madness quest, you can talk to Daero at Blurberry's Bar (in the Grand Tree) to be taken to the secret military glider hangar. From here, you can fly to Crash Island which is located east of Ape Atoll. You can talk to the gnome on Crash Island to take a boat trip to the Atoll. You can follow the process backwards to return.

Hot Air Balloon Network

After you have completed the An Enlightened Journey quest, you can sail high above the ground on each of the subsequent routes you help Auguste to unlock. Instructions and pictures to unlock each route are in the Balloon Routes guide.

Balloons

To travel between two locations, each of them must have been unlocked (using the Balloon Routes guide). To travel to a particular place, you need to bring 1 log of the type you originally used to unlock it. Note that your weight must be less than 40kg.

Hot Air Balloon Destinations
Destination Log to burn Firemaking Level Nearby Features
Entrana Normal logs 20 Herblore store, Hops farming patch, Crafting guide, Law Altar, entrance to Entrana dungeon with Dramen tree and portal to Level 32 wilderness
taverley Normal logs 20 Tree farming patch and allotment patch, Herblore store, Summoning Store, Pet Store, Druids circle, entrance to Member's Dungeon, Taverley
Crafting Guild Oak logs 30 Crafting Guild, Snape grass and Hobgoblins behind crafting guild, Makeover mage, Dark Wizards' Tower, Melzar's Maze and Rimmington to south, Falador
Varrock Willow logs 40 Sawmill operator, Lumberyard, Earth runecrafting altar, Limestone mines to east, Varrock
Castle Wars Yew logs 50 Castle Wars, Jiggig and Zogre coffins, Observatory
Grand Tree Magic logs 60 Tree Gnome Stronghold, Gnome agility training area, tree and fruit tree farming patches, Grand Tree

Note: The levels required to burn logs in the air is different than the levels required to burn them on the ground. Also, you gain no firemaking experience for the log used to travel via a Hot Air Balloon once you have unlocked a route.

Eagles

Intrepid hunters, once they have completed the Eagle’s Peak quest, have the opportunity to harness these noble birds of prey and ride them between four of the different hunting locations.

You may travel from the woodlands (south of the Piscatoris Fishing Colony) to the following three hunting locations – desert (north-west of Uzer), jungle (south of Feldip Hills) or snow (north-east of Rellekka). From these three locations you can only travel back to the woodlands, so if you wanted to travel from the heat of the desert hunting area to the chill of the snow hunting area, your route would have to be via the woodlands hunting area hub. Here you can disembark and catch a connecting flight to your desired destination.

When you have completed the Back to my Roots quest, you can also use the eagles to fly to the middle of the maze in the quest, which is located to the north-east of Shilo Village in the Karamjan jungle. For further details refer to our Hunter Guide.

Magic Carpet Network

Just south-east of Shantay Pass, and at various desert locations, the Rug Merchants run a network of Magic Carpet travel routes. Each trip is 200gp, or 100gp after doing the Rogue Trader minigame, and 75 gp if wearing the Ring of Charos(a). The fast travel option takes you to your destination immediately, at five times the standard cost. It's faster (and safer!) than running and connects to major locations in the Desert:

Transportation by Water

Vast expanses of water cover the world of RuneScape, be they small streams or the magnificent ocean. This section covers the methods you can use to get around these bodies of water, including basic seacrafts, chartered ships and canoes.

Basic Seacrafts

There are many locations across the world where you can take small ships, simple boats and the like to travel to and from various locations. This section covers these basic routes you can take in your travels.

Chartered Ships (members only)

Besides the basic seafaring crafts listed above, it is also possible to charter ships to sail from port to port. Trader Stan has made his fleet of ships available for private charter around the world of RuneScape. These form an extensive network covering a wide range of locations, but on the flipside are more expensive to use. To charter a ship, simply speak to Trader Stan or any one of his sailors at the ports shown.

Chartering Ships

Some ports will not be shown on your map until you complete a related quest. These are marked with an asterisk * in the tables below.

Chartered locations with quest requirements:

Canoes

Players can build canoes and use them to travel them up and down the River Lum, which runs from the wilderness to Lumbridge. You can make four different types of canoes based on your woodcutting level. A canoe can be used to travel to other canoe stations along the River Lum, with better canoes able to cover a greater distance before sinking.

To make a canoe chop down the "canoe tree" at any station. Click to shape the canoe and choose your design. Once you have made your canoe you can decide which station you want to go to. Note that there is no canoe tree in the wilderness, and hence the wilderness is an arrival destination only. The canoe stations, from north to south, are listed below:

  • The Wilderness, south-east of the Lava Maze (level 35)
  • Edgeville
  • Barbarian Village
  • Champion's Guild
  • Lumbridge

Pic Woodcutting Level Canoe Type Distance
Canoes Menu 12 Log 1 station
27 Dugout 2 stations
42 Stable Dugout 3 stations
57 Waka 4 stations

Note: only the Waka canoe can travel to the wilderness.

Miscellaneous Methods

There are other little ways of sneaking around and taking short cuts, listed and described below.

The Abyss
The Abyss is located in another plane and only accessible to members through the Zamorakian Mage north-east of Edgeville. For detailed information, see our map and commentary about it. Once inside, you can choose which rift to exit through to end up at any of the Runecrafting altars. Read our Runecrafting guide on the advantages and disadvantages of this mode of transport.

Ardougne-Wilderness teleport
In the west of the main city of Ardougne, west of King Lathas' castle and in front of the large walls of West Ardougne, there is a small hut with a lever. Pulling this lever will teleport you to another hut in level 54 wilderness. You will need a knife or a weapon to escape from the Deserted Keep in the wilderness. This is widely used by members going training or adventuring in the wilderness. You can also pull the opposite lever in the wilderness to teleport to the hut in Ardougne, but this will not work if you have been teleblocked.

Edgeville-Wilderness-Ardougne teleport
Another teleport lever is located inside the ruined building south of Edgeville bank. You will be returned to Ardougne from the Deserted Keep. This can be used as a quick way from Edgeville to Ardougne. You cannot return to Edgeville from Ardougne or the Deserted Keep.

Dark Wizard teleport
This is a free teleport from the Dark Wizards' Tower (west of Falador, north of Makeover Mage and Crafting Guild) to Lumbridge Swamp. Go to the top floor of the Dark Wizards' Tower and talk to Zandar Horfyre. He tries to get you to leave. If you refuse, he teleports you to Lumbridge Swamp, very close to the Lost City entrance shed (west of the swamp mine, north of water rune altar).

Harmony Island
If you have started the Great Brain Robbery quest, you can be speak to Brother Tranquility on Mos Le' Harmless to teleport to Harmony Island.

Magic Guild portals
On the second floor of the Mage's guild in Yanille there are three portals that will teleport you to different wizard-related locations.

  • The east portal teleports you to the Wizards' Tower south of Draynor Village.
  • The south portal teleports you to the Dark Wizards' Tower just north of the Crafting guild.
  • The west portal teleports you to Thormac the Sorcerer's house just south-west of the Seers' Village and Catherby.

Mort Myre Swamp
Once you have completed the In Search of the Myreque quest, you will be able to use the trap door behind the Canifis Inn to enter the Myreque Dungeon. If you search the wall, and exit through the big doors on the opposite end, you will be able to enter the Hollows in Mort Myre Swamp.

Shantay Jail teleport
You can essentially teleport from the Shantay Pass to Port Sarim. Talk to Shantay and tell him you are an outlaw and 'Prepare to Die!' He will put you in the jail next to him and ask you to pay 5 gp to leave. Keep on refusing and you will be taken to the 'high security' prison at Port Sarim. There you can simply "pick" the lock (thieving not required), walk out and go your merry way. This method works on both f2p and p2p.

Wilderness Teleport Portals
In the Wilderness there are six portals that will randomly teleport you to one of the other portals located in the Wilderness. To activate a portal touch one of the four pillars, then stand in the centre. The portals will not work if you've been teleblocked. Note: the portals will teleport everyone in the area. Also you may get teleported deeper into the Wilderness. The six locations are marked as glowing blue portals on Tip.It's Wilderness Map:

  • South-east of the Rogues' Castle (level 50)
  • West of the Lava Maze (level 45)
  • South of the Lava Maze at Green Dragons (level 36)
  • North of the Wilderness Bandit Camp (level 27)
  • South of Graveyard of Shadows (level 18)
  • South of the Wilderness volcano (level 14)

Artefact
The Artefact is a method of getting to the King Black Dragon which does not require running through the Wilderness. Found north of the Monastery in Edgeville, simply click on the Artefact to active it. It will then teleport you into the lair itself. You can also find another Artefact inside of the lair next to where you teleport in, should you wish to leave the lair that way. Note: A combat level of at least 100 is recomended, along with some form of antifire, as the KBD can attack you as soon as you enter.

Botany Bay Teleport
To get to the Botany Bay, you will need to talk to the Trial Announcer, who can be found in Ardougne marketplace, Falador East bank, Edgeville, The Grand Exchange and Varrock East bank. He can teleport you directly to the Bay itself, and is the only way of getting to the Bay.

Dying
When you die in RuneScape, you will be able to choose your respawn point (the choice consists of the last three "hubs" (or city areas) you visited. If you die in the wilderness, your respawn point will be Edgeville by default. For more information on RuneScape Death, refer to the Death section in our Beginner's Guide.
