Combat
General
Q: When can I farm for amulet of looting?
A: Full mithril armor and mithril weapons will do if you are in a hurry. Just make sure you have auto-eat and lots and lots of food.
Q: Does the Chapeau Noir work on dungeon chests?
A: Yes. As with other loot, you have a 10% chance to gain 2 chests from a single completion of a dungeon
Melee (Attack, Strength, Defence)
Q:
A:
Hitpoints
Q: I had auto-eat on, how did I die?
A: You died because you either ran out of food, or the max hit of the enemy exceeded the threshold for auto-eat (Ex: T1 auto-eat, 20% health threshold and you have 100 hp. As the threshold for auto-eat to trigger would be =<20 hp, an enemy with a max hit >21 could kill you without ever triggering auto-eat)
Ranged
Q: Is ranged worth doing/leveling?
A: Yes, in the upcoming v0.15 update, this combat style will be revised, improved, and balanced, making it a viable option for combat. It is suggested that you wait until the update though it might be a good idea to level it early on.
Magic
Q: Is magic worth doing/leveling?
A: Yes, in the upcoming v0.16 update, this combat style will be revised, improved, and balanced, making it a viable option for combat. It is suggested that you wait until the update though it might be a good idea to level it early on.
Q: How do I make a staff?
A: Upgrade 100 of an elemental rune
Prayer
Q: Do burying bones give Prayer XP?
A: No, but having an active prayer during combat does, unless specified. You also get a much smaller passive xp gain if you have no prayers active.
Q: Why did my prayer not unlock when I reached the level needed?
A: This is a known bug, to be fixed in v0.15. Divine potions are also bugged, again to be fixed in v0.15.
Slayer
Q: How do I get Slayer exp?
A: Doing slayer tasks will give you Slayer xp. Alternatively, defeating any monster in any slayer area will give you exp equal to 5% of that monster’s hitpoints

Farming
Q: How do I start farming? Why can't I plant my seeds?
A: At the beginning of the game, you can only grow potatoes, which require three potato seeds to plant. As your skill level increases, you will be able to plant more things, including herbs and trees.
Q: Why are my plants disappearing once the timer is done?
A: Your plants have a base 50% survival rate. If they survive, then you can harvest them, but if they didn't, you get nothing. You can purchase Compost and Weird Gloop from the shop to increase the survival chance of a plant.
Q: Why did my plant grow straight away?
A: This is a known bug, where sometimes if a plant is replanted immediately after the timer finishes, then the plant will grow almost instantly. This also occurs with herbs and trees.

Q: I'm level 99, what is a skillcape?
A: They are the shop, for 1M GP, under 'skillcapes'. These provide a bonus to the skill the skillcape is for.
Q: Can gloves stack charges?
A: Yes. You can buy them multiple times and all charges will stack into 1 glove (of that type. Ex: Gem gloves)
Q: Do I just use all my mastery tokens?
A: That depends on what you are going for. If you are going for all 99 mastery in a skill, it is better to keep them. If not, you can sell them for easy money early game.
Q: How many bank slots are there?
A: You can get as many as you'd like, but after 120 slots it's 4M GP per slot
