Congratulations on getting a Runescape membership! Pay to Play (P2P) offers a huge new universe for members to explore, uding tons of cities, wow golddungeons, monsters, skills, quests, money-making, and more!his guide will discuss some new avelossibilities, recommend some quests that are helpful to new members, address starting each of the new member skills available (Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Slayer and Thieving), and discuss other member features encountered while coming acquainted with the wider domain of Runescape P2P.If you are new to the world of Runescape in general, you may also want to look at Tip.It’s Beginners’ Guide, which contains basic information about the game that applies to both Free To Play (F2P) and P2P.When reviewing the many helpful Tip.It guides, be reminded: as a member, the “shaded” members runescape golditems in tables are available to you!Return to TopGetting Around and New Areas to ExploreThe Runescape P2P surface land is many times larger than Free to Play (F2P): see Tip.It’s 1.4MB interactive World Map. New members may want to keep a map handy for quick reference while becoming familiar with new areas.Enchanted jewellery transports are a significant member advantage. The Getting Around Guide lists the various methods of transportation available in Runescape, most of which are exclusive to members. The Gnomechristian audigier gliders and Spirit trees both have quest requirements, as do many others.An early issue confronting new members is “How do I get to the member areas?” On Karamja, just walk west to the Brimhaven gate. Then you can head north and pay 30 gp to take the ship to Ardougne, home of the Market Square thieving area.To start training Agility, go to the Tree Gnome Stronghold Agility course.
Agility is helpful for short cuts which get you around faster, and in numerous quests. With increased Agility, you also have more energy so you can run longer (good for getting places, and an advantage in the Wilderness!) Run energy is discussed in the Getting Around Guide.Cartier watches You can improve your run energy by getting some boots of lightness from the Temple of Ikov north of the Ardougne farming patches (the quest is not required) – simply take a lit candle and a slashing weapon (such as a dagger or sword) into the temple, then go west and down the stairs. Slash the web in front of the only red dot in the room, and grab several pairs of the boots to keep backups. Agility is the only member skill that works in Free to Play (F2P) worlds – your run energy will deplete slower in F2P as well as P2P.To start training the long-awaited nstruction skill, go to an Estate Agent office in Varrock, Falador, Seers’ Village, or East Ardougne (locations shown in guide). rchase a house for 1K, and follow the Construction Beginner’s Guide Walkthrough for step by step instructions to achieve level 5. Use Tip.It’s handy, unique and sortable Construction Table to learn what you can build at each level, includingvacuum cups the aterials and other requirements for each item.o start Farming, you need some potato seeds. Go to Draynor Village market square and buy some seeds from Olivia’s stall (or steal them if your Thieving is 10 or higher). Then go northwest to the farm located north of Port Sarim’s bar, just southeast of Falador. Inside you can buy most of the Farming equipment you will need (a Seed dibber, a Rake, and a Watering can) for very little money (less than 100 gp). Fill your Watering can at the Sink or Rain barrel. Proceed north outside and hop the stile to the farming patch, then follow the instructions in Tip.It’s Farming guide to plant your first crop.

When your belly is full, crackers pulled and presents opened this Christmas, why don’t you gather round and read Party Pete’s Christmas speech? He has Christmas spirit to share.
Evil Dave has a theory that he’d like to air, and Shanty Claws comes aground for a rare visit.
Stealing Creation Reward Changes
A while ago, we announced that we would be making changes to the rewards for the Stealing Creation minigame. These changes have gone live today.
Players can no longer gain combat experience inside the Stealing Creation minigame. Instead, the sacred clay combat equipment rewards give bonus experience when they are used. This means that combat experience rewards are given in the same way as reward experience for non-combat skills.
Sacred clay reward items give experience at a much greater rate than previously. While using one of these items, the normal experience you would gain is doubled.
Rather than having a fixed number of transformations, the reward items will lose charge gradually as they give experience. The more experience you are gaining, the quicker the charge will run out.
The system for buying reward items has changed. The score you earn in the minigame is now converted into reward points, and you buy reward items using these points. If you had any points stored before this update, 200,000 of those points will be converted to the new system. Any other points will be lost. In addition, if you had more than ten tools or ten pieces of armour/weapons, any excess have been converted to reward points.
Christmas Cards
‘Tis the season to be jolly, so why not put a smile on the faces of your friends and family by sending them a RuneScape Christmas card?
This year we have four festive Christmas card designs for you to send to your favourite people. Two of these designs were chosen by you in our recent Guaranteed Content Poll, so we hope that you enjoy seeing your ideas made into Christmas cards. The two most popular designs from the poll were ‘Sweet Dreams’, featuring Bob the Cat asleep by the fireside, and ‘Christmas in Falador’.
You can either print out the cards, ready to send, or save your favourite designs onto your own computer.
To view the designs for yourself, head to the Downloads and Wallpapers section.
1. How does the Wallie Card payment method work?
Wallie Cards are a prepaid payment method; so, when you have purchased a Wallie Card you can use it to pay for RuneScape membership.
2. What countries is this payment method available in?
We accept Wallie Card payments from EU and US customers. The service is also available in Switzerland.
3. How secure is this payment method?
Wallie Cards are purchased from an independent company who take great care with your payment details and enable you to pay for other services without revealing any information. You can also purchase them from retailers in some towns and cities, so your details may never be attached to your Wallie Card.
4. How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the currency you use to purchase your Wallie Card.
5. How do I subscribe or make a one-off payment?
Select ‘Upgrade Your Account’ on the RuneScape front page (under the ‘Account’ drop-down menu) and select the prompts for using the Wallie Card payment method.
Please be sure to follow the instructions and ensure you understand all the points.
6. How do I unsubscribe?
All payments are one-off, non-recurring payments, so there is no need to unsubscribe from any service.

The membership credit will be added to the account as soon as the payment has been processed. This is normally instant.
8. What should I include with my payment?
Details of exactly what to provide with your payment will be noted during the subscription process.

You do not enter into a contract until you pay for a new subscription. If you have changed your mind and no longer wish to subscribe using Wallie Card payments, simply do nothing.
10. I have sent my payment, but I’m still not a member. How long will it take?
First of all, please check your Wallie Card account for the payment. If it is present and you are still not a member, then contact us, here; otherwise, please contact Wallie Card.
11. How many months of membership credit can I buy at a time?
You can purchase 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months of credit at any one time.

Movario licked his dry, cracked lips, not taking his eyes off the ancient book in front of him. His hand, acting almost like a separate entity, scratched spidery notes onto parchment. He knew who V was, but the references to the stone intrigued him. Fragmentary thoughts were gathering, forming up together into something important – but something was missing, some key detail. With trembling fingers he turned the yellowed page.
“The stone was clearly not of this world…”
A triumphant scratch of Movario’s quill tore through the parchment. That was it! After all this time his research was finally bearing fruit!
The antiquated surroundings of the temple afforded little warmth, and the only luxury was the lone, guttering candle by which he read. The chill still reached inside, but it did not register for Movario as his unyielding research ground on through the days.

Gobble, gobble, gobble; it’s a turkey invasion! For the first time ever, turkeys are seeking refuge in RuneScape to escape their holiday blues. They may have overestimated their safety here, though. From this Thanksgiving until Monday, we give you the opportunity to get your own turkey dinner: through combat or your keen turkey-spotting skills.
Attackable turkeys are roaming around near the major cities of RuneScape on both members’ and free worlds. Kill one and you’ll get some tasty turkey meat, but you may also be lucky enough to unlock a new Thanksgiving emote.
If killing isn’t your style, there are other turkeys lurking around in clever disguises. Find one and you’ll get a clue to the location of another. If you get a bit stuck looking for the turkeys, speak to the Cook’s brother in Lumbridge Castle and he’ll give you a book to help you keep track. Find all ten and you’ll unlock the new Thanksgiving emote.
To sweeten the deal, we’ve added a new object to the game: the cornucopia. Being a ‘horn of plenty’, the cornucopia is useful for storing food and taking up fewer inventory spaces. You can store up to 14 Hitpoints’ worth of food inside, and one click will replenish your health by the amount you’ve stored. While the turkeys are visiting RuneScape, they’ll be readily available, but after the holiday you’ll have to look a bit harder for them when you kill certain birds.
This update will only last ’til Monday (GMT), so enjoy it while you can!
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Nov
We’re working on a major change to the way in which the Stealing Creation rewards work, so we thought we’d let you know in advance what we’re planning to do. The change will take place by the end of the year and will have the following effects:
We’re aware that there was a bug in the first few days after release that let some players get a lot of points very quickly. This has since been fixed, but some players had already used it to get an unfair number of points. When we make the change, we will also bring everyone’s points down to a reasonable level. A player will be able to have up to 10 tools, 10 pieces of combat equipment, and 200,000 stored points. Any more than this will be lost. So if you have more than this, now is the time to use them!
After the change, no Combat experience will be given inside the Stealing Creation minigame. Instead, the sacred clay combat equipment rewards will give experience in the same way that the tools do.
Both the tools and the combat equipment will give experience at a greater rate than at present. In fact, while you are using a sacred clay tool or piece of combat equipment, the experience you gain will be doubled! (The volatile tool will still give a little more on top of this.) On the other hand, the equipment will run out of charge a bit faster than it does now.
The reward items will not have a set number of times they can transform; instead, they will gradually lose charge as they give you experience. Up until they run out of charge, they can be changed freely. (The volatile tool works slightly differently; it will change by itself for every 10% of its total charge that is used, and if you change it deliberately it will lose some charge.)
The reward points you buy items with will work differently. At the end of a game, your personal score for that game will be converted into a reward score, and it will be this reward score that you use to buy items.
As we’re rapidly approaching Thanksgiving and the holiday season, we wanted to remind you how easy it is to buy membership and also to let you know of a few payment methods that you might not be aware of.
If you’re thinking of buying membership either for yourself or as a present, we currently have 2 RuneScape-specific game time cards that you can purchase.
Firstly, we have RuneScape game-time cards that are sold in Target stores across the U.S., and we have two versions available, a one month subscription and a three month subscription.
For those players in Europe, look out for Wallie Cards, which can be bought in a host of stores, such as CostCutter (with a PayPoint logo), Esso, Total, Hema, Aral, bft and Westfalen. Wallie Cards can be used to purchase RuneScape membership and come in a number of different amounts.
We also have an Ultimate Game Card which can be bought in places such as Walmart, 7 Eleven, Rite Aid & Winn Dixie. These cards are available from our payment partner, PayByCash, and will have their stamp on the front.
Depending on where you live, you may also be able to pay by phone or by mobile! Make sure you check out the subscription pages to see if these simple payment options are available in your country. We’re planning to add more countries to the list soon.
If you’re looking for some other RuneScape-themed gifts, keep an eye on the Jagex Store, which will have some new items available in time for Christmas.
