Throughout the game the skills level are initially capped 10 which means that you will need to carefully manage resources and equipment early on. Completing a dungeon will raise your skill caps, so this is a good first goal. Fishing and cooking are locked until much later making dungeons considerably more difficult. You will need creative ways of getting food that heals more hitpoints. | |||
Any skill XP earned over the cap will be deleted. But the mastery and global mastery XP works as normal. | |||
There are various ways of obtaining better equipment and items, such as the following: | |||

Whilst it is possible to get all of the ancient relics without completing dungeons, it is not recommended. It is worth noting that many of the ancient relics will give you passive rewards that go beyond the kill and should not be overlooked. There is however a guaranteed ancient relic when you reach skill level 20 which is likely to happen after completing your first dungeon. You should try to get these relics as soon as they are available. | ||

While skilling you can be rewarded with [[Lesser Relics]], which can be equipped to give boosts to that skill. One lesser relic will be used for every action. For example, in {{Skill|Mining}} the {{ItemIcon|Mining Lesser Relic}} will guarantee one jewel for every ore, which is a great way to earn {{GP}} early in the game. Similarly, the {{ItemIcon|Thieving Lesser Relic}} provides an extra +30 stealth which will come in handy when you want to progress {{Skill|Thieving}}. | |||

When levelling up your skills it is important to consider how each skill interacts with other skills and abilities. For example, if you level {{Skill|Smithing}} it will give you access to stronger weapons and armour, but to use this skill you will also need to {{Skill|Mining|mine}} for raw materials and a higher combat level to wear the items you have made. Similarly, if you level {{Skill|Firemaking}} too soon, you will also need {{Skill|Woodcutting}} or {{Skill|Thieving}} to balance out this skill. | |||

Early exploration of {{Skill|Cartography}} is recommended as it unlocks many great rewards. However, it is strongly recommended to not attempt to fully explore cartography (or use Auto Survey) until you are able to reach cartography 100. Surveying has a finite amount of XP available, and any XP that you waste early on could limit how much of the map you ultimately reveal. | |||
Map creation and upgrades give unlimited XP, but these are not a generous source of XP, and will consume a lot of {{ItemIcon|Paper}}. | |||
