Greetings Clan-member,
As you're obviously reading this FAQ, I'll take it you're looking for either some answers to some questions you have, or you're just reading this for fun and thus wasting your exp. Stop wasting that exp!
Anyhow, I have decided to set this FAQ-thread up along with the help of other more experienced clan-members to guide the newer and/or lesser-experienced members of OSRS Advice in the productive direction.
Please remember that our clan gladly answers all of your questions in-game and that this thread is more of a last-resort if noone knows the answer to your question.
In short, only resort to this thread if you haven't been helped in-game first!
Please enjoy this FAQ, I hope it'll be a clarifying read for you.
-Kate.

Perhaps we should instead provide links to smaller guides for some bits...
I need to find out how to link to other topics. The combat guide is an answer to a faq but it's just too big.

Guess who has resumed her work on the FAQ? yup it's me.
