'''Quests''' are groups of interrelated tasks that can take anywhere from five minutes to a few hours or even a few days to complete. The start locations of quests are labeled with a blue star [[icon]] ([[File:Quest icon.png]]) on your [[Minimap]]. Once completed you can be rewarded with various xp for skills or unlocks places which are only accessible once certain quests are completed.

[[File:Quest Journal.png‎|frame|right|A player's Quest Journal. Red means the quest has not been started yet. Yellow means the quest has been started but not finished. Green means the quest has been completed. Cyan means the quest has been marked on the [[world map]].]]

As of [[26 September]] [[2012]], there are a total of 186 quests with 20 [[free-to-play|free]] and 166
[[members]]-only quests, offering a total of 335 [[quest point]]s. Free players can only obtain up to 43 quest points<!-- 40 from the F2P quests, 1 each from the two holiday quests (Swept Away and Myths of the White Lands); therefore 43. -->. The last quest added to the free version of RuneScape was [[What's Mine is Yours]],  and the last quest added to member's version of [[RuneScape]] was [[What's Mine is Yours]].

The 50th quest, [[Legends' Quest]] was released on [[20 August]] [[2003]],{{CiteNews|author=Jagex|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=115&allcat=true|title=New - Legends Quest!|newsdate=20 August 2003|date=16:21, May 4, 2012 (UTC)}} which was prior to the ''[[RuneScape 2]]'' release. The 100th quest, [[Recipe for Disaster]], is actually 10 quests in one with 8 [[subquest]]s ranging from easy to very hard. The 150th quest, [[The Chosen Commander]], was released on [[17 March]] [[2009]].

Quest release dates are listed in the [[list of recent quests]]. A list of recommended members' quests can be found [[Members#Recommended members quests|here]].

==List of Quests & Quest Walkthroughs==
{{Main|List of quests}}

==Quest series==
{{Main|List of quest series|l1=Quest series}}
Many quests are part of a series of quests which share a common plot-line.

Usually, progress is made in the series in a linear fashion, with each quest requiring the previous one in a sequence. There are exceptions to this linear progression, however, when a quest is involved in multiple plot-lines. Also, Jagex has reworked many of the novice quests over the years, accelerating the process this year, with over a dozen quests reworked, some more than once.

The majority of quest series are rooted in a specific area, and their completion is often needed to access more of that area or specific features within it. For example, [[West Ardougne]] as a whole is inaccessible unless at least some progress is made in the [[Plague quest series]].

A complete list of quest series can be found [[list of quest series|here]].

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Although 65 is the highest Farming requirement, if boosting from 62, Branches of Darkmeyer requires level 63.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> Completion of the [[Fur 'n' Seek/Wish list|Fur 'n' Seek wishlist]] requires 78 slayer.

<nowiki>***</nowiki> While the highest combat level required to complete a quest is 85, the minimum possible level to get a quest cape at is 105.

<nowiki>****</nowiki> [[While Guthix Sleeps]] is a requirement for [[The Ritual of the Mahjarrat]], and so the latter requires 275 quest points, 270 to complete While Guthix Sleeps and 5 rewarded from completing it.

[[Blood Runs Deep]] requires completion of all Easy, Medium, and Hard tasks of the [[Fremennik Province Tasks]].

===Individual quest skill requirements===
{{main|Quest skill requirements}}

==Quest Cape of Accomplishment==
{{Main|Quest point cape}}

Players who have the maximum number of quest points are able to wear the [[Quest Point Cape]], a [[Cape of Accomplishment]] which can be bought from the [[Wise Old Man]] for 99,000 coins. However, whenever a new quest is available, the cape and hood will automatically be unequipped and cannot be worn again until a player completes the new quest.

If the inventory is full upon release of a new quest, the cape and hood will be sent to the bank. If the bank is also full, the [[Wise Old Man]] will hold onto it and will return it free of charge. 

If multiple sets are obtained through various methods, the Wise Old Man will only return one set if both your inventory and bank are full and the set is worn and unequipped(ON) twice. In other words, if the Wise Old Man has a set and you do not claim it and get another set unequipped and sent to the Wise Old Man, only one set will be reclaimable.

The cape does not count towards trimming Capes of Accomplishment, it does count towards [[Cape rack]] limits on senior capes.

==Quest icons==
All quests that have a "Quest overview" window also have a unique quest icon. These are currently limited to:
* All quests and holiday events released since [[15 March]] [[2010]] ([[The Blood Pact]] onwards)
* The few old quests that were converted to the new quest format on [[15 December]] [[2009]] ([[Cook's Assistant]], [[Ernest the Chicken]], [[Rune Mysteries]], [[The Restless Ghost]] and the now discontinued [[Sheep Shearer]] quest)
* The two quests made free-to-play on [[24 June]] [[2010]] to replace the removed ones ([[Myths of the White Lands]] and [[Swept Away]]).

These icons are displayed both in the quest overview window, and as small boxes next to quest-specific NPCs and objects. It is unknown whether all quests will eventually be renovated to have this property.
