Editing Getting started

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 first three levels of the {{rsw|Stronghold of Security}} beneath Barbarian Village. You cannot collect the boots from the fourth level until you have the associated beginner task.

====Giant Frogs====
{{rsw|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====
{{rsw|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==

====Pathfinder gear====
Gudrik, a retired Dwarven adventurer, is willing to hand out a set of {{rsw|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.

====General combat gear====
The shops around Varrock sell gear for all combat styles all the way from tier 1 to tier 40.

* Melee: {{rsw|Varrock Sword Shop}} and {{rsw|Horvik's Armour Shop}}
* Ranged: {{rsw|Lowe's Archery Emporium}}
* Magic: {{rsw|Zaff's Superior Spellcasting}} and {{rsw|Aubury's Rune Shop}}

Further, the {{rsw|Champions' Guild}} has three shops upstairs that will sell you tier 50 gear, once you have 33 quest points.

====Runes====

Runes can be purchased from the following locations that are easily accessible on Beginner tier accounts - numbers in the table are the stock amounts.

Rune store stocks update on the daily reset.

==Food==
====Gnome Food====
{{rsw|Gianne's Restaurant}} and {{rsw|Blurberry's Bar}} in the Grand Tree stock the unique cuisine of the gnomes, these will heal a set amount of life points ranging from 500-1500. You can buy it at any time, but it can be expensive for those who don't have much cash.

====Kebabs====
A {{rsw|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.

====Stew====
{{rsw|Stew}} can be purchased from the bartender in Seers' Village for 20gp and heals 625 life points.

====Moonlight Mead====
{{rsw|Moonlight Mead}} can be purchased from {{rsw|Roavar}} for 5gp at the tavern in Canifis. You no longer need a quest to get into Morytania, see [[Faq#access to morytania|the FAQ]] for further details. This food, despite looking like a beer, can heal for 440 with no stat penalties.

====Fishing====
While not encouraged, you are allowed to fish and cook for your own food on a need to eat basis. This means that only once there is no food left at all in your bank, you may 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, and will usually no longer be necessary after completing any of the food supply tasks.
