<p>Welcome to 2009scape, where your memories of Runescape come to life. Unlike Oldschool Runescape, we keep true to the Gower brothers' vision of the game.</p>
<p>
We are a constant work in progress. The goal is content completion up until January 2009 (revision 530), with an expansion to December 2009 (revision 578) planned.
This project is working towards 100% completion and is currently a work in progress, you can read more on our <ahref="./about2009scape.html">about page.</a>
Whilst we strive for authenticity, we have made a few quality-of-life (QoL) improvements along the way. We do not accept donations, or any form of financial contribution.
If you wish to contribute you can help maintain the wiki, <ahref="https://forum.2009scape.org/viewtopic.php?t=35-2009scape-test-process"target="_blank">become a tester</a>, <ahref="https://gitlab.com/2009scape/2009scape/-/issues"target="_blank">fix issues</a>, write new content or help us maintain our drop tables, item config, etc.
</p>
<p>2009scape consists of three main components:</p>
<ul>
<li><ahref="https://gitlab.com/2009scape/2009scape"target="_blank">Server</a> - where the game runs, hosted by volunteers</li>
<li><ahref="https://github.com/Pazaz/RT4-Client"target="_blank">Client</a> - where the game is displayed and interacted with</li>
<li><ahref="https://gitlab.com/2009scape/Saradomin-Launcher"target="_blank">Launcher</a> - updates, configures and runs the game client</li>
</ul>
<p><b>You may request your live server save file at any time.</b></p>
<p>If you have any questions that are not answered here please ask on the forums.</p>
<p>As of April 2022, the famous tutorial island has been added to 2009scape. Once you have created your account, you will spawn at the start of tutorial island.
You can skip the tutorial by talking to Skippie. I know many of you have completed tutorial island so many times that you can't fathom the thought of doing it again.
But, I promise that you will not regret experiencing the island with those beautiful HD graphics! Do keep in mind that the default experience is x5, so if you're a skiller you will
want to skip the tutorial.

<br>
<b>You will be given the option to set your XP rate and game mode at the end of the tutorial by speaking to the wizard.</b>
<br/><br/>
<p><b> Changing xp rates </b></p>
<ul>
<li> 1x Rate (authentic)</li>
<li> 2.5x Rate</li>
<li> 5x Rate (the default)</li>
<li> 10x Rate (exclusively for permadeath ironmen)</li>
<br>
</ul>
<p><b> Changing Ironman Modes </b></p>
<p>As some of us have not played in over a decade. I will go into detail on each mode. </p>
<ul>
<li>Ironman Mode</li>
<p> This account mode is the basic of the three account types. Ironmen are unable to trade any other player so they are completely self-sufficient. They also can not use lootshare
whatsoever which means they are still stuck collecting everything on their own. </p>
<li>Hardcore/Permadeath Ironman</li>
<p>Follows the restrictions of regular ironman mode, but the account will be reset upon death.</p>
<li>Ultimate Ironman</li>
<p>Like regular ironman mode, the only other difference is ultimate ironmen can not bank items. They can, however, note and unnote items by using them on bank booths.</p>
<b>Bronze Axe</b> - The bronze axe can be found in the chicken coup across the bridge of Lumbridge across from the cows. It is
sticking in a tree stump for you to grab. <br>
<b>Bronze Pickaxe</b> - The bronze pickaxe can be found by going up the ladder in the gate house in Lumbridge castle. It is located on the
third floor. <br>
<b>Tinderbox</b> - The tinderbox can be found in the Draynor Manor on the third floor near the professor you speak to during the
Ernest the chicken quest. ( can also be bought from the general store for a few coins ) <br>
<b>Fish Net</b> - The fish net can be found near the fishing tutor in Lumbridge swamp all over the ground. <br>
<b>Knife</b> - A knife can be found on top of the crate in the Lumbridge Castle kitchen basement or behind Bob's Axe Shop. <br>
<b>Iron Dagger</b> - While the bronze dagger is usually the staple of the tutorial island weapons, an iron one is even better. You can find an iron dagger in the Goblin house
<p> In Runescape there were plenty of different ways to make money and I know it's a tad difficult hopping into the time machine and coming back to this era forgetting how in the worlds people made money.
Not to worry we have you covered with some basic money making methods that may later have full guides but for now a little glimpse into what 2009scape has to offer.
<palign="left"> The job system is a unique system that Jagex created to get players to learn the ropes. The job system is pretty simple; you speak with a tutor,
and then you ask for a job. They give you a task to complete which features the beginning of the assigned skill. You are able to cancel a job by asking the tutor
<p> Make your way over to the stronghold of security underneath the Barbarian village. Make your way through the mazes answering the player safety questions.
<p> Just like the Gnome Gliders, you may travel from any spirit tree directly to any other Spirit Tree in the game, but first, you must complete the Tree Gnome Village Quest to gain access.
<p> Being a Community we are always voting in Quality of life updates that help players releive a partial bit of the tedious unnecessary grind of their
game play experience. In 2009scape, we have allowed as long as you are within the dialogue to reroll the slayer task. If you click out
the game has noted that you had accepted the slayer task.
