[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

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

[2]Ned remained an employer after 17 September, 2009, but later had this removed as well on a subsequent update on 20 October.

[3]Gillie Groats and Millie Miller remained employers after 17 September 2009, but had this removed on 15 December.

[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

Players are always be paid for their efforts in coins, and the amount they are paid will directly relate to items delivered or buried as determined by the minimum price for that item on the Grand exchange, or the number of creatures killed.

For items collecting jobs, they are equivalent to selling 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. Players receive the message: "You receive x coins for your work. You also receive an XP lamp for completing 15 tasks."

[edit] Trivia

  • As of 17 September, 2009, most NPCs, such as the Lumbridge Skill Tutors, Mikasi, Nemarti, and Harlan, stopped offering jobs. This unexpected update has been met with very little positive reception for both members and free players.
  • If you take some noted and un-noted versions of the same item to an employer, the employer will take the un-noted item over the noted item if you have more than required.
  • When asked to slay giant spiders as a task, the kills will not register and will not be taken note of in your task list. Therefore, the player will not be able to complete the task.
