Your inventory is split into two. This makes managing your items a lot easier.

They are:

• Backpack Inventory
• Equipped Inventory

The backpack inventory section has 28 slots available for items while the equipped inventory section has 11 separate spaces for clothes and weapons and other adornments.

All together this gives you a grand total of 39 slots to use.

Whenever you pick up or purchase an item, it will be added to your inventory, into the backpack.

In the game window, your inventory is represented by the backpack icon

Left-click on it to access your inventory.

The backpack section of your inventory displays all of the items that you are carrying at the time.

Large items will take up one inventory slot each. Small items such as money can all be stored in just one slot, in which case a yellow number at the top left of the slot indicates how many of that item are currently grouped together.

You can arrange the items in the inventory by clicking and holding down the “action” button over the item and dragging it to the spot in your inventory you want to move it to. The action button is the left mouse button on a multiple button mouse and the single button on a mouse with only one button.

When you want to interact with the items in your inventory, move the mouse pointer over the item, then click on the left mouse button if you are using a multiple button mouse or click the single button on a mouse with one button, to perform the default action associated with the item. Most of the time the default action will be the ‘Use’ command.

Once you have done this, you then need to click on the target item, either in your inventory or in the game window.

To view other actions that can be performed with an item, move the mouse pointer over the item and click on the right mouse button. This will display a menu with all the actions you can perform with that item. The default action is the first one in the menu.

Once the menu is displayed, you can then select other commands such as “Drop”, “Examine” etc.

Your character has separate slots for each type of weapon or clothing. To view what you have equipped, click the ‘human’ icon

Armour and weapons are an important aspect of the game. The weaponry you are wielding can often make the difference between winning and losing a battle. To wield a weapon, go to your inventory screen and click on the item that you wish to wield. If the item can be worn it will then move to your equipment screen.

Separate slots show what you are carrying on your person at any time. To remove an item, left click on it or right-click on the slot you wish to change, and select ‘Remove’ from the list.

The ‘Show Equipment Stats’ button at the bottom of this interface will bring up a screen showing what you are wearing and all of the bonuses and modifiers to your combat statistics. In the ‘Attack’ section, you are shown what bonuses are applied to each attack style.



In the ‘Defence’ section, the bonus refers to how effective your equipped armour/weapon is against a particular style of attack. This also displays any other relevant bonuses your equipment may give you, such as prayer bonuses. You will find that different combinations of equipment will give you different bonuses up and down, dependent on that particular item’s strengths or weaknesses.

For example, you may see that your metal plate armour offers you good protection against stab and slash attacks, but will be less useful against crushing attacks, and will actually impede your spell-casting if you attempt to fight with magic.
