[edit] Description

Lumbridge, that sedate town where you begin your adventures, has a great deal of citizens, almost all of whom are dedicated to helping new adventurers learn their way. From melee and the casting of spells to the finer points of spinning wool and luring fish into your nets, these benevolent people spend much of their lives helping others.

For all this, though, they need supplies and other assistance, and it's only appropriate that they turn to the adventurers that they so dutifully aid for this. Life in Lumbridge is not without its perks, of course, so you can expect to be paid appropriately for aiding them.

Please note that you can only take 6 jobs every hour. The "hour" is defined as your online time, NOT including when you are offline. The jobs are counted regardless of whether or not you complete them, so requesting a new assignment without completing your current one will count as one of your 6 jobs.

[edit] Current Employers

The following people have tasks which can be assigned to players and earn some coins and lamps through this option:

[edit] Former Employers

*Ned and Aggie remained employers after 17 September, 2009, but later had this removed as well on a subsequent update on 23 September.

**Fred remained employer after 17 September, 2009, but later had this removed as well on a subsequent update on 20 October.

[edit] Tasks

Working for the citizens of Lumbridge/Draynor There are three broad types of task you may be asked to perform:

  • Production

These jobs require you to bring a number of a certain item, which can be noted, to your employer. (usually 22-26 for less complicated tasks, the and 10-16 for the complicated tasks- tasks that requires 2 ingredients like bronze bars- requires copper ores and tin ores ) This could be very simple and be done in a few moments, or you may need to gather resources before turning them into other items (like smithed items, for instance).

You may be asked to bury a certain number of bones (22-26) in a specific location.

Much like the Slayer skill, you may be asked to rid the world of a certain number of creatures. (22-28) These will always be relatively easy to kill (no worse than level 20), and nothing nastier than a scorpion need concern you.

You will never be asked to do anything that is beyond your skills, so you can always head off straight away (unless you need a weapon or armour for combat jobs, of course, or if you are a F2P user, you can ask to get a leather coif, which only members can craft) and get your hands dirty. When you have completed your job, simply return to your employer for payment.

[edit] Rewards

You will always be paid for your efforts in coins, and the amount you are paid will directly relate to items you deliver or bury as determined by the minimum price of the Grand exchange, or the number of creatures you are asked to kill.

For items collecting jobs, they are equivalent to selling your items at the Grand Exchange at minimum price, with 100% success.

One Antique lamp (granting xp = 25 times a chosen skill level) is given as reward from the employer, along with regular reward, for every 15 jobs completed from the Lumbridge employers. You receive the message: "You receive x coins for your work. You also receive an XP lamp for completing 15 tasks." It has been confirmed that the antique lamp is still offered as a reward from any one of the three current employers.

[edit] Trivia
