"Path" redirects here. For the system introduced on 18 April 2017, see Path System.

The Path is a feature that is automatically enabled for new players once they arrive in Taverley after the Ashdale tutorial. The path is a series of 7 tasks, guided by Gudrik, aimed at teaching the player basic skills. Completion of each task gives certain rewards, ultimately working up to a full set of pathfinder armour, an amulet of potency, and a ring of potency, when all 7 tasks have been completed.

The player may access the path tab under the Adventures window. On the path tab, the player can view all 7 tasks as well as the rewards each task gives. These tasks must be completed chronologically. Additionally, the player may toggle the path off if they do not wish to complete it. When a player has path enabled, a help interface appears in the top-left hand corner of their screen telling them their current objective, as well as having a button to contact Gudrik and a button to toggle hint arrows.

Adventures (Path) interface

The recommendations interface.

After completion of the path system, the Path tab is removed and recommendations system can be used instead. It is accessed through the Featured tab of Adventures interface, and recommends various activities to do, such as quests, the combat academy, and minigames. The recommendations system does not, however, provide the player with the help interface that the path system did. If the player's account was created before the Ashdale tutorial was added, the player will have automatically completed the path, and the Path interface doesn't appear at all. These players may also talk to Gudrik to claim the pathfinder armour, amulet of potency, and ring of potency.
