I'm an oldschool Runescape player returned from the dead, and I'm amazed by many of the improvements that have taken place over the years of my absence. I think there is room for a few more improvements to make questing more streamlined.

1. Map markers. Sometimes the quest is about finding something that is hidden, and you have to look for a quest-related item, but other times the guidelines are just vague and I'm not able to deduce the solution from existing evidence to complete the quest. Either more specific clues or evidence are needed, or perhaps more map markers.

2. Questing often involves multiple skills overlapping and sometimes preventing me from questing in order. What is needed: A smart suggestion system for skilling in tandem with questing or perhaps a recommended skilling plan for beginners that can be accessed via the Adventures tabs.

3. Also, at this time, the questing menu is malfunctioning and in need of immediate attention.

You can fix 3 by yourself by changing how quests are ordered. They've acknowledged it as a bug and will likely fix it next monday.

In general you can make use of the timeline feature so you would be able to experience the quests in the correct order of events - so you'll do quests as long as you can and get the skills required if you no longer can. This isn't the most efficient way to do quests, since you only would get the rewards for extremely simple quests like Heartstealer or Once Upon a Time in Gielinor extremely late (since canonically the events only happen, after you've long become world guardian, which contains a lot more of simple quests for easier progression), but you'd have a general idea of how to progress. If you want more efficiency you could follow the guide in the wiki instead, but that obviously will lead to you not fully comprehending the story: https://runescape.wiki/w/Quests/Strategy - note it's not closely as well maintained as the counterpart in the OS wiki

While not fully related to that - mod stu currently is reworking older quests in order to get rid of their jank stemming from whenever they were released. You can read about his ideas for Ichtlarins Little Helper in here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=100/c =P UuLt5NqSEc/octobers-game-jam
