Starting your Taskman
When starting your official Taskman account, there are several things you might need off the bat.
Money
Stronghold of Security
An easy 10,000gp can be claimed from the third level of the Stronghold of Security beneath Barbarian Village. You cannot collect the boots from the fourth level until you have the associated beginner task.
Giant Frogs
Giant frogs drop frog legs which can be sold for 1,000gp each to Hudo on the first level of the Grand Tree. The frogs are manageable with iron equipment and a combat level of around 20. They're found in the Lumbridge Swamp caves.
Silk
Silk can be bought from the Silk Trader in Al Kharid for 3gp each and sold to the Silk Merchant in Ardougne for 60gp each, giving you a profit of 57gp per silk.
Gear
General combat gear
The shops around Varrock sell gear for all combat styles all the way from tier 1 to tier 40.
Melee: Varrock Sword Shop and Horvik's Armour Shop
Ranged: Lowe's Archery Emporium
Magic: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting and Aubury's Rune Shop
Pathfinder gear
Gudrik, a retired Dwarven adventurer, is willing to hand out a set of Pathfinder armour, a tier 10 hybrid outfit which is considered best in slot until tier 20 gear can be worn. Speak to him northeast of the Port Sarim lodestone to learn more.
Food
Fishing
You are allowed to fish and cook for your own food on a need to eat basis. This means that you may only catch and cook one inventory of fish at a time, and cannot gather any more until that inventory has been used up. This is to prevent excessive out-of-task training.
Gnome Food
Gianne's Restaurant and Blurberry's Bar in the Grand Tree stock the unique cuisine of the gnomes. You can buy it at any time, but it can be expensive for those who don't have much cash.
Kebabs
A Kebab can be purchased from Karim in western Al Kharid for 1gp and will heal a random amount of life points up to 1500, alongside the rare possibility of raising or lowering your stats.
Eeligator
Stocked at Mazcab Emergency Merchants, cooked eeligator is a Goebie delicacy which can heal up to 1875 life points apiece at Constitution level 75. A pricey meal, save it for bossing runs like the God Wars Dungeon starting in Medium tier.
