Written by Andrew Hammel
This is the best OSRS F2P quest order for fast levels, early rewards, and no wasted time. It assumes you’ll use the Grand Exchange to grab useful items like dyes and pie ingredients. If you’re low combat, save Dragon Slayer I for last.

| X Marks the Spot | Early | Use lamp on Prayer |
| Restless Ghost | Early | Good Prayer XP |
| Rune Mysteries | Early | Preps for Runecrafting |
| Prince Ali Rescue | Early-mid | Gather all items first |
| Vampyre Slayer | After some combat | Use safespot or food |
| Knight’s Sword | After pie is ready | Huge Smithing XP |
