So around 20 hours ago a high profile streamer sodapoppin decided to look at our beautiful MMO and give it a chance.
I've also noticed lately a lot of new players joining up in anticipation for the new Sailing skill, super exciting stuff!
I just want to give pro tip: Gielinor is huge. As of right now it is 3 continents large, moving around is the most time consuming part of most MMOs, but in OSRS there are no lodestones or Aether crystals to teleport to. Your options early on are very basic and limited, and most of your options are quite expensive either requiring runes or Teleport tabs/scrolls.
however, a there exists fairy rings in OSRS, and to unlock all you have to do is start the first few steps of FairyTale II, I'm not going to explain the lore, its a story lots of players have been waiting over a decade for a III chapter. But early on in the quest, you unlock the fairy ring transportation.
You do have to complete a few quests before hand but Fairytale II even if you don't have the skill requirements can start and get to the point where you get the ability to use it. Fairy Rings + Ardougne Cloak is one of the most useful setups early on as a member, and the requirements are small for the QOL enhancement it offers. Ardy cloak teleports you to the Monastery, which is steps away from a fairy ring, so in other words, Ardy cloak + fairy Rings early on will be your tools to move around the map efficiently
it can not be overstated how useful fairy rings are. for moving around the map early on. All of the rings are unlocked from the get go, you just need to enter the codes(all the codes minus a few quest specific ones of course!!)
As you progress through the game you'll unlock items and spells that can get you closer to where you need, but for P2P players, it almost should be a requirement as one of your first steps on your account to unlock the fairy ring network. It's something you use whether you are 100% maxed, or just starting.
edit: I just want to mention the fairy ring map I included is actually RS3's fairy ring map because I was having issues finding it. OSRS and RS3 split very early on in the storyline but in terms of the primary continent those fairy rings should be useful still, but the Zeah and Varlamore continent rings are not present!
