12pure34's Guide to Lumbridge!

[12pure34]

Welcome to 12pure34's Guide to Lumbridge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lumbridge is the oldest city in Runescape! It was the first town you would find yourself. And even the highest level will come here every now and then. Either they use home teleport or they found someone who gave them a hand. Either by sword or by Teleother spell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting to lumbridge:

 

 

 

Home teleport (modern magic) ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Can be casted every 30 minutes, no runes required.

 

 

 

Lumbridge Teleport ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Level 31 magic ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 1 law rune, 3 air runes, 1 earth rune

 

 

 

Teleother Lumbridge ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Level 74 magic ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 1 law rune, 1 soul rune, 1 earth rune

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or just die. That is why lots of people make the joke: ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâfree ticket to lumbridgeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a map of lumbridge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took the liberty to put several numbers on the map. I divided this guide into areas corresponding to these numbers. So get ready to read, watch and maybe even learn!

[hide=Lumbridge Castle - Part 1]Lumbridge Castle!

 

 

 

As you could see on the first picture, Lumbridge has an immense castle which holds very useful things. I will run you through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First up: The kitchen.

 

 

 

Any adventurer goes here first. As every adventurer is hungry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the picture you can see The Chef. The ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢masterÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ cook *ahum* You can start the cookÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s assistant quest with him. And for the more experienced adventurer also Recipe For Disaster Quest. The kitchen offers some usefull spawns including a bowl, a pot and a jug. The range also is quite useful as it lowers the chance of burning something, compared to other ranges. In the room next to the kitchen is the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâDinner roomÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ which plays part in the Recipe For Disaster Quest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 floor there are 2 rooms:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most useful spinning wheel can be found here. You can make balls of wool here and spin flax into bowstrings. This spinning wheel is one of the 3 most used ones in Runescape. In the next room you will find ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâThe Duke.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ He is Duke of Lumbridge and you will meet him in several quests through Runescape, including the Dorgushuun Quests and Dragon Slayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you continue up the stairs, there is 1 room which contains a bank!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing much to say about this bank. It was added when Lumbridge got a huge make-over. This bank is mostly used by people who spin flax and people who havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t started Recipe For Disaster. Very useful for F2P players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now go back to the kitchen and open the trapdoor. Then go down the ladder and you will find yourself in the following room:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This room contains the Bank Chest (or CulinaromancersÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ Chest) and a ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâholeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ which is opened during a quest. I am not going to give everything away ;) The bank is mostly useful as it only requires 1 click to open. Also, after completing parts of Recipe for Disaster, you can buy several types of food and the famous ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâMetal glovesÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ here. For those herblore trainers out there. This room also contains a sink, which is the fastest way to fill vials by hand! Usefull if you are tired of filling your vials in Falador.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Bob Axe shop & Lumbridge Church - part 2]Bob axe shop & Lumbridge Church

 

 

 

So you have seen the castle now. It is time to find out more about Lumbridge. As soon as you exit the castle, you can see the church of Lumbridge. It is right outside the castleÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of the church:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The church follows the way of the Runescape god Saramodin. You may start the Restless Ghost quest here. You can recharge your prayer points here. Very useful for KQ trips. Teletablet to Lumbridge ÃÆïÃâ Ã¢â¬â¢Ãâà Recharge prayer at church ÃÆïÃâ Ã¢â¬â¢Ãâà Walk to Shantey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you step outside, there are a few buildings packed together. One of these buildings holds a shop which many players know. Bob Axes. If you are lucky enough, you may even find a flier of his shop somewhere in Runescape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bob can do 2 things for you. He sells hatchet axes, used for woodcutting, up to mithril. Very handy for starting woodcutters. The second thing he may do for you is repair your barrows armour. Of course for a fee. Just ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâuseÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ a piece of barrows armour on him and it he will automatically start a conversation with you.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=General Store & Furnace - part 3]General Store & Lumbridge Furnace

 

 

 

So you now walk the other way. Just follow the road and you will find yourself close to this building:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the general store, which can be seen in the upper-right corner, they sell the usual things. Pots, buckets, newcomer mapÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s. But Lumbridge General Store has something most other stores donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have. And that is huge numbers of logs! Due to woodcutters training in Lumbridge and selling their logs to the shop, logs have stacked up. Sometimes the shop has a stock of 100k+ in willow logs! In my picture, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve shown 3 lines which are very useful for burning these logs. Simply buy an inventory logs and start burning them. You will move along these lines, which are perfect to do so. A very cheap and effective way of training firemaking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, on the other side of the road is the Lumbridge Furnace:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the oldest furnace in Runescape. It will probably be the first furnace you will see, but you will most likely hardly ever use it. The furnace is far from a bank and far from any mine. It is there and maybe one day it will have a use for someone. [/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Lumbridge chicken pen & Mill - Part 4]Lumbridge chicken pen & Mill

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you keep following the road, you will come by a field full of sheep. Remember this! You canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t miss it. Seriously, you canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t. If you keep walking you will find yourself near a farm with a lot of chickens in front:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The chicken pen. This place is often occupied by one or two people killing chickens for whatever reason they have. This farm is also the place where you can start the Sheep Shearing Quest which gives some crafting experience. Did you remember where the sheep are?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the other side of the road, you may find yourself a mill. It is located a bit further up the road:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mill is very useful as it has its own field filled of wheat next to it! What more can you wish for. I hope you know how to operate a mill. On the top floor, put wheat in the hopper. Next operate the hopper controls. (you can do this several times). Then go back down and use empty pots on the flour bin. Each wheat gives 1 pot of flour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behind the mill there is a hidden cow field! A secret extra for reading this part.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the cows are more spread out, hardly anyone trains here, because most do not know about it. You can train combat here on the cows. Bring a tinderbox and an axe. Cut trees and light them to create a fire. You can cook the raw beef on the fire to get cooked meat. This way you can stay here forever. [/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Chicken farm & Hops patch & Cow field - part 5]

 

 

 

Chicken farm & Hops patch & Cow field

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now it is time to cross the river! Cross the bridge at the furnace and you will immediately run into the Cow field:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is nice and quite on the picture as it is taken right after an update. Normally it is pretty crowded and for a reason! The cows offer a great way of combat training. The bones for prayer, the meat for cooking and instant food and the cowhides can sell for 100-150gp each! Good chance you will start/have started here to!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is another chicken farm. Another chicken farm? Yes another one. Because we can never have enough chickens:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This chicken farm has 2 egg spawns which are used to bake cakes with! How convenient, as you have to make one in the CookÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s assistant quest, which can be started at the kitchen as you might know by now. This chicken farm is usually occupied by 1-2 persons, just like the previous one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next to the chicken farm you will find a nice farming patch:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hops patch is every adventurerÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s favourite patch. As hops are used in the process of brewing beer! Plant your hops seeds here and check back with them an hour later. You can use the hops to brew beer in either Keldagrim or Port Phasmatys. [/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Toll gate & Goblin house & Fly fishing & Canoe station - Part 6]Toll gate & Goblin house & Fly fishing & Canoe station

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you have crossed that bridge, you will notice a little house. It is pretty hard to miss it. A small shed full of little green Goblins:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, there are a bunch of goblins trapped in that shed. It offers a perfect spot to train, as you do not have to wander around trying to find a goblin. But you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get food right? Guess again. In the same picture it shows some fishing spots. Here you can fly-fish using a fly-fishing rod with feathers. It takes a minimum of 20 fishing to fish here however. You can also train fishing here. Fish until your inventory is filled and then sell them at the General store. The store is located just across the bridge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, a bit deeper in the forest you find a weird looking thing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The canoe station! Many have only heard of it, but it offers a great way to travel. It requires a hatchet axe and a minimum of 12 woodcutting to get from Lumbridge to: The champions guild, Barbarian village, Edgeville or even level 35 Wilderness if you are up for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now if you move out of the forest, you may see a gate guarded by a few Guards:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This toll gate offers a quick route from Lumbridge to Al Kahrid and back. The fee is 10gp to pass the gate. If you have done the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâPrince Ali Rescue questÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ you can pass the gate for free. If you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have gold with you, you can kill some goblins to get some. [/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=H.A.M Hide-out (Still up for updating) - Part 7]H.A.M Hide-out (Still up for updating)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you start walking from the General store into the forest, you will notice some ruins covered with spiders:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Human Against Monsters hides in here. It may look like plain ruins, but you can see a trapdoor on the picture. You have to ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâPicklockÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ the trapdoor in order to get in. Inside it is filled with H.A.M. members which you can kill or pickpocket! A great way of thieving. H.A.M. plays a large part in the Dorgushuun Quests and you will most-likely come here more then once.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Still up for updating--[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Lumbridge Swamp & Slayer cave (Not ready yet) - part 8]Lumbridge Swamp & Slayer cave (Not ready yet)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you first enter the Lumbridge Swamp it doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t look much like a swamp. The first thing you will come across are the following NPCÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will not give away much about these, but I can tell you it has something to do with a ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâLost City!ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ Oh heck, you can start the Lost City quest here. Talk to the warrior to begin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now going a bit south, you will come across a house and a small hole in the ground:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shed is a bit off the picture, but it is hard to miss. There is only 1 shed in the swamp with a person in it. In the shed is Father Urhney. He plays a part in the Restless Ghost quest. You can also get your amulet of Ghostspeak back from him if you ever lost it. The picture also shows a hole in the ground. This is the entrance to the Lumbridge Slayer Cave. In it are several slayer monsters.

 

 

 

When going in, think of a few things:

 

 

 

A lightsource (A covered lightsource (no candle!)

 

 

 

A tinderbox

 

 

 

A [bleep]y helmet (or extra food)

 

 

 

-- Part of the cave might come in later ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bit more south you will find a lovely place to mine some ores:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The high level Lumbridge mine offers a nice batch of mithril and coal rocks. Hardly anyone ever goes here, so you are bound to find the rocks ready to be mined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not far from the Slayer Cave entrance you can find a strange rock formation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Water Altar. You can use a water talisman or water tiara to enter and craft water runes. A great way to return to a bank is using a glory to Draynor. Did you know water runes sell for 20-30gp ea? So maybe make water runes instead of air runes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now if you proceed deeper into the swamp, you will come across a plain and simple shed. A small wooden shed:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entrance to Zanaris. The player behind me forgot his Dramen Staff, that is why he is still standing there. You will get your Dramen Staff during the Lost City quest. You know where to start the quest now do you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the last exciting thing in the swamp, you will have to move further South-east. You will come across another mine:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This low level mine offers 5 tin and 5 copper rocks. Perfect for any starter! You can drop your ores or you can bank them. You could even use that furnace in Lumbridge to smelt 1 ore and 1 copper into a bronze bar! How about that, finally a use for that old furnace. [/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=Lumbridge Graveyard & Shortcut Al Kahrid - part 9]Lumbridge Graveyard & Shortcut Al Kahrid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the castle, you will be making your entrance into a completely different area! First up, walk behind the church and you will find a rather extinct place *bad pun*:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Lumbridge graveyard, especially designed for all the players who have died. (yes, you revive). There seems to be little action here, but less is true. In the upper-left corner you can see a yew tree. Level 60 woodcutters can chop this tree as they like, as there is often nobody here! (a yew tree without autoers?) On the other side of the picture, there is a small house. Inside is a coffin, which plays part in the Restless Ghost quest. If you have already done the quest, take the liberty of searching the coffin again. You will get the most logical sentence there isÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now there seems to be a little opening in the fence. This didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t used to be there, but luckily for us, it now is! (You had to walk around before the update). Proceed and you will find yourself back in the Lumbridge Swamp. If you follow the coastline you will find a ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâStrong Yew:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although you cannot cut it, it has a use. It requires a Mithril Grapple hook and a Mithril (or higher) Cross bow. Also it requires: 8 Agility, 19 Strenght and 37 Agility to cross the river to Al Kahrid. Great if you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t wish to spend 10gp on the tollgate.[/hide]

Well, I admit, you have a great guide format, but the content is a bit, well-known. I'm sure there are some who didn't know about certain bits of it, but most of it is known. But keep it up! Try to find great ways of training skills here (ex. Fleching oak bows with oaks in the gen store).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And two things you forgot-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) You can play the church organ. It "unlocks" a unique music piece that isn't on the playlist and can't be replayed unless you go back to the organ. There is another organ in Tut. Island Church, one in Seers Village (I think, or at least before the makeover) and one more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) The Dinner Room also plays a part in the Lost Tribe. It's where the peace treaty is signed.

Thanks for the tips! I am writing this guide going from easy to hard. First making a section with just 'Lumbridge'. Then maybe add a part of usefulness. Like the firemaking tip I gave. Etc etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hoping I am setting a new hype and maybe starting with the city guides for Tip.it \ A man can dream right?

[swordwindtrtrtrt]

Decent guide. For the "getting to lumbridge" part you should add that you can take a canoe from barbarian village or the champions guild, as long as you have an axe and the required woodcutting level (which isnt very high).

Canoes go one way last time I checked #-o Sorry there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and this would be a great time to announce the following updates will come:

 

 

 

1) Updating some pictures, as some are just plain rubish

 

 

 

2) Linking the slayer cave, not going to make a huge part of it myself

 

 

 

3) Will be finishing up the 'Basic Guide'

 

 

 

4) Skilltraining in Lumbridge is explained next. (just the good parts..)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you can expect quite a lot in the following week. Hope you are going to like it! :thumbsup:

[Maxx91]

Nice guide, i love how you made such a long guide on such a well-known city without making it boring..

No they can go both ways, i just tested it.

Well isn't this sorta, well known? :| Whats the point, only newbies wouldn't know this and they wouldn't be on a runescape forum...

[ProZac_Rehab]

Very nice guide. But the informaion isreally useless since everyone knows all of this but newbies. Maybe do a guide for somewhere else? very good
