The Best RuneScape Settings for Beginners

While these settings are not required to play RuneScape, we believe they're the best starting point to ensure you have a smooth experience right out of the gate.

You can quickly search for any of these settings by using the search bar located at the bottom left side of the Gameplay tab in your settings.
