A remarkable chronicle that molded me into the person I am today. The insights into cartography, macroeconomics, and culinary arts (just to name a few subjects) are vastly more transferable than those of your classroom textbook. I will be the first to admit, with the advancements in technology in this modern age, you can quite frankly acquire a lot of this information online from various aggregator databases. Nevertheless, I recommend giving this publication a chance... experience the joie de vivre for yourself!!

It was terrible! DO NOT BUY! It doesn't help at all, and it shouldn't even have been put on the market.

Stumbled upon this nostalgic piece of my childhood and had to give it a read. A small piece of internet history. Was fun to see how the game was seen back in 2005. Was also fun to find some inaccuracies of the information and some of the pieces of information that are no longer actually in the game.

Very 2007. I love that the OSRS graphics haven't changed much at all. Cute.

Ultimate nostalgia trip. I absolutely loved flipping through this as a kid, and my copy was well-worn. The map was the best part :)

title: Runescape; Official Handbook and Strategy Guide
author: Tracey West
lexile: unknown
rating: FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARZ

First off I would like to say that this book is awesome. It has lots of factoids and helpers that will guide you through step by step through the game. This book is for noobs and pros alike. When I first saw this book at the library, I was immediately hooked, for it was the first strategy handbook guide for Runescape I had really ever seen! And after I finished reading the book, I was filled with new ideas on what to do and try in the game.

My favorite chapter in this book was the chapter about the different skills you can master. It features 9 different skills (mining, smithing, crafting, fishing, cooking, magic, ranging, runecrafting, and prayer)each with a detailed description on each one. It was very fascinating.

I would recommend this book to Runescape 1,2, or 3 players alike. This guide is sure to help you a lot.

This is an outdated, unhelpful introduction to the free portion of the mmorpg(massively multiplayer online role-playing game, for the uninitiated) Runescape. I believe it is more helpful simply to play the game, but the charts are somewhat helpful.

[Andy Mo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best strategy guide for runescape and probable the only one. Liked the book/strategy guide but needs to have some members stuff to. Not just only having F2P (Free-To-Play)

[Taud · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book is a book that is for non-members and i would not recommend it for mem

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

this is a good starter but as the game evolves the game booklet lacks some information.

[Kevjin · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is awesome and ima nerd for reading this book

[Thomas Price · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ignore all the terrible notes it was pretty good. If you are an fp2 player or you play classic because this book is old.
