If this is your first time here and you aren't already at endgame Player Owned Ports, head straight to sections 21-28 on Page 3 for step-by-step Arc through Shield region guides that will guide you on the most efficient Ports gameplay for the next 6+ months (thinking is not required - just follow it word for word).

For everyone else, please use to search the Table of Contents. Feel free to ask me here on forums, ingame when I'm online, or PM via Reddit if you can't find or understand something.

RuneScape: We will be taking our forums offline - initially transitioning them to be read-only from January 25th (Thursday), and then removing them entirely on March 28th.

I'll be working on Kags V7 for either RS Wiki (under my account) or Google Drive.
I will be very busy next week and the coming 2 months.

Kags V7 will be slimmed down, removed of excess fluff and cosmetic details, so that I will have a much easier time maintaining all the sections to the highest quality and regularly updated with new meta/content/changes.
