Rating: - Kids love the book
My boys love their RuneScape game and had to have this book! They seem to use it and think it's great.

Rating: - RPG
Bought this book for my grandson who nearly wore out the library copy. Could provide even more detail but good for new players. Not an advanced book.

Rating: - Pointless Book
Allow me to say, if you have already purchased this book then I'm sorry. The book poorly attempts to explain RuneScape and tries to teach players how to play, but the author failed to realize one thing: The game updates every week.

The rules and monsters mentioned in the book are obsolete; the pictures are no longer relevant since runescape is constantly updating the graphics; the rules are ever changing; and the book is for 9-12 year olds when the rules clearly state that the game is for 13+? The author should go back to tutorial island and learn that you should never make a guide book about a constantly changing game.

I'd only recommend this book if it's on the shelf of your supermarket checkout line and you need something to read; of course don't actually buy the book.

Rating: - Good,but not REALLY good
I knew everything in it, but the maps and stuff helped, also it helps with the skills and all that stuff. So, if I were a like, "i love" runescape (which im not) i would totally get this. Still if you really have trouble doing some stuff you get it.

Rating: - Good guide for the Free Play Worlds
A very good introductory guide to the game for new players. As well it contains a lot of tips to those who are still acquiring new skills, and haven't completed all the quests.

While experienced players may not find much in this guide that they do not know, it is an attractive book which fans of the game would appreciate. Being able to hold and look at the maps on paper alone will prove an attractive enough feature for some players.

There are still parts of this guide which may prove entertaining reading, and the locations and map might still prove use at times, even to the most accomplished players.

I gave the guide as a gift to my nieces and nephews; and for them I think the clearly laid-out sections on Online Safety Guide, the Rules of RuneScape and Basic tips for beginners are written in language they can understand. Given the importance of Online Safety and the necessity of acting as responsible player as part of a much wider community those sections are crucial to anyone fresh off Tutorial Island.

As a gift it makes and excellent way to pass on the love of the game which avid RuneScape players may wish to give to new players.

Regards, Fey Warrior
