  📦 How to trade safely (read first)
  B Biz

  Welcome to the Marketplace! A few ground rules so everyone has a good time:

  1. Title format: [WTS] selling, [WTB] buying, [WTT] trading. Include items + prices.
  2. Trade in-game, face to face - never hand items over "to hold".
  3. Scamming is bannable. Report scammers in Player Reports with screenshots.
  4. Real-world trading (gold for real money) is not allowed.

  Happy trading!

  FAQ - frequently asked questions
  B Biz

  Is it free? Yes - completely free to play.

  Where's home? Lumbridge. Type ::home from anywhere.

  How do I make money early? Goblins, war contracts from Vannaka, and mining/smithing into the Supply Depot. See Best Early Money-Makers.

  How do I rank up? Earn coins, then buy ranks from Duke Horacio in the castle. Ranks gate armour and unlock the war.

  How do I start the war / raid bosses? Reach Lord (2M) for boss raids, Minister for campaigns, King for conquest.

  Does my website account work in-game? Yes - one account works on the site, the forum and in-game.

  Found a bug? Post it in Bug Reports with steps to reproduce.

  Companions - your personal squad
  B Biz

  You can recruit, train, gear and command a squad of companions (Lieutenants) who fight beside you.

  • ::companions - list your roster (names, combat levels, current order).
  • ::companion <train|follow|deploy|return> [slot] - set orders: train (auto-fight to level up), follow (guard you), deploy (independent offense), return (recall).
  • ::companion equip <slot> <itemId> / unequip - gear them from your bank (they have their own equipment).

  Companions persist between sessions and respawn if they fall. They're a force multiplier for PvM and a head start in the war.

  PK Stats, Elo & the Ladder
  B Biz

  Every real-vs-real kill counts toward your PK ladder. Check yours with ::pkstats - lifetime kills, deaths, K/D and an Elo rating (everyone starts at 1000). Beating higher-Elo players gains you more; the website Hiscores has live Top Kills / Deaths / K/D / Elo tabs.

  Kills against practice bots don't count - the ladder is genuine PvP only. Climb it and your name sits at the top of the realm.

  Wilderness & PvP Guide
  B Biz

  PvP happens in graded zones - know where you stand before you fight.

  • Safe core (Lumbridge & around) - always safe.
  • Contested frontier (town borders, west & east) - PvP on, but capped at level 10.
  • Main wilderness - north of the core, getting deeper (and higher level) the further you go (up to ~56).
  • East Lumbridge PK pocket - an isolated single-combat duel spot, no level cap.

  Rules of engagement: attacking first skulls you (30 min) and drops your loot penalty to −25%. On death you drop everything except your 3 most valuable items (prayer/magic gear is auto-kept). Single-combat zones are 1v1; multi zones allow piling. Your combat level ± the wilderness level sets who can attack you.

  Best Early Money-Makers
  B Biz

  Working toward your first ranks? Here's the efficient early loop:

  1. Goblins & the Goblin Warren - fast coins from day one (Generals drop 2-4k).
  2. War contracts from Vannaka - coins + War Effort; the streak bonus rewards consistency.
  3. Mining → Smithing → Supply Depot - train two skills and sell the bars for War Effort.
  4. Claim the daily bonus first (150 WE) so everything else earns more.

  Reinvest coins into ranks (Duke Horacio) - better armour opens better content, and Lord+ opens boss raids, which is where the real loot is.
