Your first hours in Soultide.
You're in - now what? Where everything is at home, how to get around, how to make your first coins, and which systems to start on first. Haven't installed yet? Start on the home page.
Three things to do right away.
Finish the tour
A short guided tour walks you around home at Varrock Castle and shows you where each skill zone is. Pick your difficulty when it comes up - easier modes level faster, harder ones get better drop rates, and changing it later means resetting your skills.
Spend your Soul Point
Open the Soul Constellation sidebar tab and put your first point into any skill's constellation. More points come from levelling, boss kills, achievements and rare skilling finds.
Pick a goal
Train a skill at a teleport zone, grab a Slayer task, or take a Bounty Hunter target in the Wilderness. Every one of them feeds your Constellation.
Varrock Castle has what you need.
Type ::home from anywhere to get back.
Banking & altars
A bank, plus Prayer, Ancient and Vengeance altars in the castle - and the Attunement Altar, where you craft Transformation scrolls.
Grand Exchange
Between the two fountains at the castle entrance. Put in buy and sell orders and collect them later - even from the account page on this site.
Runecrafting
Just north of the castle, one altar gives you access to every rune type - no running between the old altar locations.
Instance Arena
Right outside Varrock - your own private boss fights. Type ::instance and use the arena wall to pick a boss.
Teleport straight to the action.
| ::portals | The portal nook in the castle courtyard - portals to Lumbridge, Falador, Ardougne, Kharyrll, Yanille and Camelot. |
| ::mining ::woodcutting ::fishing | Gathering zones, each with everything that skill needs in one spot. |
| ::smithing ::firemaking ::thieving | More skilling zones - thieving stalls are a solid early source of coins. |
| ::prayer ::summoning ::runecrafting ::transforming | Straight to the altar or shop for that skill. |
| ::shops ::afk | The shops, and the AFK training area. |
| ::train | Rock crabs - an easy first spot for combat training. |
| ::slayer | Fight your current Slayer task in a private instance (you need a task first). |
| ::boss ::instance | The boss area, and the Instance Arena. |
Your coins, your pouch, and platinum tokens.
The money pouch
Use Add-to-pouch on your coins to store them in your pouch. It holds far more than an inventory stack ever can, and you can spend straight from it in shops.
The 2.147B limit
A single coin stack tops out at 2,147,483,647. Coins that won't fit go into your pouch automatically, and withdrawing from the pouch stops at that limit.
Platinum tokens
Convert on coins turns every 1,000 into a platinum token - one way only. Tokens can't become coins again, but Add-to-pouch puts them into your pouch at 1,000 coins each. Examine a stack to see what it's worth.
Early coins
- Thieving stalls at ::thieving
- Skilling and selling what you gather
- ::dailyreward every day

The Wilderness is PvM
No player-killing in the open Wilderness - it's stocked with monsters at every depth, and drop rates improve the deeper you go. Take a Bounty Hunter target for keys and PvM Points.
PvP, on your terms
Want to fight players? The Free-for-All Arena, Fight Pits and Dueling are there for it - real stakes, no ambushes.
Bosses
