Quests are groups of interrelated tasks that can take anywhere from five minutes to a few hours or even a few days to complete. They are labelled with a blue star or compass rose Image:Questicon.PNG icon on your Minimap.

The old (left) and new (right) quest icons

As of 2 June 2009, there are a total of 154 quests (not counting the introductory quest Learning the Ropes) with 18 free and 136 members-only quests (not including the sub-quests of Recipe for Disaster, the Odd Old Man's wishlist from the Rag and Bone Man quest, or the new tutorial), offering a total of 284 quest points. Free players can only get up to 42 quest points. The last quest added to the free version of RuneScape was Rune Mysteries with the release of RuneScape 2. Finishing a quest could mean more places to go, more quests, or new weapons!

The 100th quest Recipe for Disaster is actually 10 quests in 1 with 8 subquests ranging from easy to very hard. The 50th quest Legends Quest was released on 20 August 2003, which was prior to the RuneScape 2 release, while the 100th members' quest Cold War was released on 29 January 2007.

The 150th quest The Chosen Commander was released on 17 March 2009.

Quest release dates are listed in the list of recent quests.

Quest series

Many quests occur as part of a quest series which shares a common plot line. Usually, progress is made in the series in a linear fashion, with each quest requiring the previous one in a sequence. There are some exceptions to this, however. The majority of quest series are rooted in a specific area, and their completion is often needed to access that area or specific features within it. For example, West Ardougne as a whole is inaccessible unless at least some progress is made in the Plague quest series.

A complete list of quest series can be found here.

Quest Cape of Accomplishment

Players who have the maximum number of quest points are able to wear the quest point cape, a Cape of Accomplishment which can be bought from the Wise Old Man for 99,000 coins. However, whenever a new quest is available, the cape and hood will automatically be unequipped from a player until the player completes the new quest. If a player's inventory is full the Quest point cape and/or Quest point hood will be sent to the player's bank. If the player's bank happens to be full the Wise Old Man will hold onto it and will return it free of charge. The Quest cape however, does not count towards a trimmed Cape of Accomplishment.
