RS3 F2P Quest Order Guide (2025)
Written by Andrew Hammel
This RS3 F2P quest order is built for efficiency, skill unlocks, and low risk. It assumes no prior quest points or stats. Start with fast XP and unlocks, then move into quests that give large XP dumps or new areas. Dragon Slayer and Gower Quest are saved for last due to higher stat needs.
