The 24 skills are collectively one of the most important features of the game of RuneScape. Conventional RuneScape skill guides tell you what you can do at each level, and give you the basics of how to train. But they don’t answer the essential questions that most players ask themselves on a daily basis:

• Which of the many skill activities will let me train the fastest at my current level?
  
  
• How should I plan the skill for long-term advancement?
  
  
• How much do various alternatives cost or earn?
  
  
• What is the trade-off between training speed and training cost or profit?

The RuneScoop Skill Optimization Guide for RuneScape is designed to answer all of these questions and more. The guide describes activities within each skill that you can use to train, make money or just have fun, and it rates each skill in terms of its cost (or profit) and how fast you get XP doing it. Tables are also provided for many levels (varying based on the skill) that let all players, from newbies to veterans, compare options to decide what is best for them.

If you are new to the Skill Optimization Guide, I suggest reading through the reference manual, which describes in detail how it works. Or, feel free to dive in using the links below.

I hope you enjoy the Skill Optimization Guide! I’ll be adding more skills to the guide as I complete analyzing them.
