Best OSRS quests for beginners
Short quests with rewards worth far more than the time they take.
New accounts should do quests before training, not after. The experience rewards are enormous relative to the early part of the curve — a quest giving 13,750 experience takes a fresh account from level 1 to level 30 in a single completion, which no amount of early training matches for time spent.
The quests here are chosen for having low or no requirements and rewards that meaningfully change what your account can do.
