'''Learning the Ropes''' was the [[quests|quest]] [[account|players]] completed when creating and learning how to use their [[character]]. It was a [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|tutorial]] quest, and replaced [[Tutorial Island]] on [[14 July]], [[2008]]. However, in a post on the official RuneScape forums, Mod Osborne said that until further notice, new players will have to play through the old tutorial ([[Tutorial Island]]). It was been recreated since then and was known as [[Unstable Foundations]], from the [[17 September]], [[2009]] updates, and removed on [[25 May]] [[2011]].[[File:Mod osborne.png|thumb|right|500px]]

===Creating your character===
Before you get started, you must create your [[character]]. You must fill in a few things: Mouse, [[Gender]], Head, and Body options. The Mouse menu is to choose how many mouse buttons you have: one or two. The Gender menu lets you decide your character's [[gender]] (male or female). The Head menu lets you decide what your character's hair, skin, and beard will look like. The Body menu lets the player decide what the avatar's clothing and body will look like. The ''Creating your Character'' part of the tutorial reminds you that all settings put in can always be [[Makeover|changed at a later date]].

===The Mentor===
After you customize your character, you must speak to [[Sir Vant]], a [[White Knight]]. He will tell you that he is there to fight a large, dangerous, three-headed [[dragon (Learning the Ropes)|dragon]]. A [[cutscene]] will follow, with Sir Vant attempting to defeat the dragon.

===Defeat the Goblin===
While he is fighting, he will warn you that a [[goblin]] had come down from the [[Lumbridge|village]] to steal money. The goblin cannot hurt you, because it had been stunned by some falling boulders. After you kill the goblin and pick up its [[drop]]s ([[bones]] and three [[coins]]), Sir Vant Will tell you about things like [[drop]]s and your [[inventory]].

===Prepare to Ascend to the Surface===
Sir Vant will tell you about your [[Quest List]], [[death]], and [[random events]]. He will then ask you to get him some supplies. Right as the player continues to the surface of [[Lumbridge]], the three-headed dragon appears again, along with a mysterious [[chaos druid]]. Sir Vant tells you to go to [[Ranged instructor|Nemarti]] and quickly get a [[training bow]] and [[Training arrows|arrows]] to kill the druid, which is helping the dragon. Go upstairs. Use the run button to reach the next tutor.

===Practice Ranged===

Next, you must go to Nemarti, the [[Ranged instructor|Ranged Tutor]]. Nemarti can be found near all the other [[Combat instructors|Combat Tutors]]. She will give the weapons to you and tell you to practice on the targets before facing the druid. Go back down to Sir Vant and kill the Chaos Druid (Level 13) with your arrows.

Note: You will have to use long-range, so you can no longer have 0 defence xp.

The next few sections can be completed in any order.

===The Bank tutor===
Follow the arrow towards the staircases in Lumbridge Castle. Climb to the top floor to reach the bank. Talk to the [[Bank Tutor|Bank tutor]] to open your bank account. Deposit an item, then drag it into the + sign to start a new tab. After you have mastered tabbed banking, you will be finished with this section.

===Fish for Crayfish===
Next, go to Finlay, the [[Fishing Tutor]]. He will give you a [[crayfish cage]] for catching [[crayfish]]. You finish once you catch two crayfish and read the skill interface.

===Cook some Crayfish===
Next, go to Cordero, the [[Cooking Tutor]]. He will teach you how to [[Cooking|cook]] the crayfish. You will always [[Burnt fish|burn]] your first crayfish. The next one will always be successful. Go back down to Sir Vant and give him the crayfish.

===Obtain a bag of runes===
Sir Vant tells you to get some [[runes]] from [[Magic instructor (Mikasi)|Mikasi]] for him so he can weaken the dragon. [[Magic instructor (Mikasi)|Mikasi]] is found near the Ranged tutor. [[Magic instructor (Mikasi)|Mikasi]] will give you some [[mind rune]]s and [[air rune]]s, but will not trust you with more advanced runes until you master magic. Once you cast [[wind Strike|wind strike]] on the [[magic dummy|magic dummies]], she will give you a [[bag of runes]]. Give this to Sir Vant.

===Learn about Prayer===
Talk to the [[Prayer Tutor]], Yauchomi. Look at your prayer list and use [[Thick Skin]]. Play the organ, then view your prayer list again to see that your prayer points have drained to zero. Recharge your prayer at the altar, talk to the tutor, then bury your bones.

===Mine copper and tin ore===
Visit the [[Lumbridge mine|Lumbridge Mine]] and talk to the [[Mining Tutor]], Monlum. He will give you a [[bronze pickaxe]]. Prospect the rocks until you find copper ore. Mine it, talk to the instructor, then prospect the other set of rocks to find tin ore. Mine it as well. This section and the Smithing Section can be skipped and the quest can still be finished.

===Smith a woodcutting hatchet===
[[File:Playercatchescrayfish.gif|frame|right|A player fishes for [[crayfish]].]]
Talk to Feoras, the [[Smelting Tutor]] to learn how to use furnaces. Smelt your tin and copper to retrieve a [[bronze bar]].

Back in the mines, talk to Sani the [[Smithing Tutor]] to get a hammer and learn how to smith items on an anvil. Make a [[bronze hatchet]].

===Chop down trees for logs===
Talk to Wilfred the [[Wilfred|Woodcutting Tutor]]. He will tell you to cut down a tree with your hatchet to obtain some [[logs]]. Do so.

===Prepare a fire===
Visit the [[general store]] and talk to the shopkeeper. Trade with the shopkeeper and buy a tinderbox with one of your coins. Visit Sir Vant and talk to him. Make a fire in the designated spot by using your tinderbox with your logs.

===Showdown!===
Talk to [[Sir Vant]]. He will briefly explain cooking on a fire. Next, you will gain access to the [[emotes]] menu. Try an emote. Next, open up your music player and play a song of your choice. Open up your [[friends List|friends list]], [[ignore List|ignore list]], [[Friends Chat|clan chat]], and [[options]] lists. Then adjust the text filter buttons at the bottom of the screen. View the [[chat|report abuse screen]] to finish the tutorial. Talk to [[Sir Vant]] one last time, then climb up the ladder to the world of [[RuneScape]]!
