Guilds, shortcuts and travel

Woodcutting Guild

McGrubor's Wood, west of Seers' Village, is the Woodcutting Guild. The Forester at the front gate (560, 472) lets you in once you have 60 Woodcutting. There is no fee.

• Four yews and five magic trees grow inside, and they grow back twice as fast as elsewhere: yews in 60 seconds, magic trees in 120. You still need 60 Woodcutting for yews and 75 for magic trees.
• Talk to McGrubor, or use the bank chest beside him, for free banking.
• McGrubor's guard dogs leave guild members alone.
• The Foresters by the gate swap willow, maple and yew logs for certificates, and back again.

Agility shortcuts

Shortcuts across the map save you the long way round. Each needs its own Agility level, and some can fail. The Agility guide lists them, along with Agility Coins, mounts and the Highland chain.

The stepping stones across Lumbridge's river need 10 Agility. They give a short route to the pale rocks used in Alchemy; the ordinary bridge remains an option at lower levels.

Guild teleports

• Cape of legends: right-click Teleport for the Legends', Heroes' or Champions' Guild, free and as often as you like.
• Skills necklace: cast Enchant lvl-5 amulet on a Dragonstone necklace (see High-level amulets), then use it on the totem pole in the Legends' Guild hall to charge it to eight. Each rub takes you to the Fishing, Mining, Crafting, Cooking or Woodcutting Guild and uses one charge. The last charge leaves the uncharged necklace, and the totem recharges it for free.

Both leave you outside the guild, where its own entry rules still apply. Neither works in a duel, above level 20 Wilderness, or during the 10-second Wilderness player-combat delay. NPC combat alone does not block them. Area restrictions and the rules on using members items still apply.

Community Double XP

The Garbage Collector stands in Lumbridge (129, 649). Inspect it to see the goal, then use an item on it to donate.

• Each item is worth 60% of its base price in credit, and the Collector shows the total before you confirm. Loose and noted items both count.
• It refuses coins, untradeable items, worthless items and containers: the Herb Sack, gem and coal pouches and feather packs.
• Donated items are destroyed and pay you nothing.
• The first goal is 1,000,000 coins of credit. Each goal reached gives everyone 24 hours of Double XP and doubles the next goal. Extra credit carries forward, so one big donation can reach several goals, and the hours add to any Double XP already running.
• Double XP doubles the server's base combat and skilling XP rates (XP rates and bonuses).
• If the goal is set to reset each month, Inspect shows the next reset date. Unused credit carries over.

Nearby voice chat

On the desktop client you can talk out loud to the players around you. It starts off: turn on Nearby voice (opt-in) in Settings under Chat, then hold your talk key to speak. The key is Right Ctrl unless you change it on the same page.

• Only players who have also turned it on hear you, and only on the same floor within 8 tiles. Voices get quieter with distance.
• You hear at most the 3 closest people talking at once.
• Ignoring someone works both ways: neither of you hears the other. Muted players cannot use voice chat.
• Your microphone is open only while you hold the talk key.
