There's no method of transportation more reliable than carrying yourself around on your own two feet. Old School's unique in that it has an Energy system that determines how long you can run for before you're forced to walk again and let it regenerate. This can be frustrating when you're getting started, but means that all of these transportation unlocks feel even more impactful once you start stacking them up.

Sometimes, you'll have to traverse from A to B on foot, but you've still got options to empower yourself here!

Agility is a skill that you can start training at the Rooftop Course in Draynor Village, just west of Lumbridge. By levelling your Agility, you'll increase the rate at which your Energy regenerates and decrease the rate at which it depletes. In simple terms: higher Agility means you can run longer distances, and spend less time walking around before you can run again.

Keep levelling your Agility and you'll start to unlock Agility Shortcuts, which you can see on the World Map - these are quick obstacles and timesaves littered all over Gielinor that might see you jumping a fence, navigating an underground tunnel, jumping across a river, or even grappling to higher-ground!

Running's great over shorter distances, but even players with 99 Agility will find themselves out of Energy over long distances, that's where our next option comes in.

If you open up your Spellbook tab, you'll notice a lot of icons featuring a letter surrounded by two blue circles. These are Teleport spells which you can unlock by levelling up your Magic skill.

If you've got a Magic Level of 37, you'll be able to rapidly teleport between Varrock, Lumbridge and Falador - instantly appearing in the centre of these cities and setting you up perfectly for many early-game quests. These spells are very self-explanatory, get the necessary runes, click the icon, teleport!

Above is an image of Varrock on the World Map. In the green square you can see the Grand Exchange, where non-Iron accounts can purchase runes or teleport tablets. The orange square shows Aubury's rune shop, where Irons can purchase some starter runes to begin training their Magic level

If you're a Normal/Main account, you can head to the Grand Exchange just north-west of Varrock to buy runes for yourself, or even buy teleport tablets to get around the game even if you don't have the Magic level that's required for the teleportation spell!

Those Law Runes might prove tricky for any Irons among you, since you're not likely to stumble across them in the early stages of the game. Fortunately, the OSRS Wiki's got you covered so let's take a look, this section should prove helpful for more than just runes!

By searching the Wiki for 'Law Rune', we can see a full list of every single source of them in Old School. To see for yourself, click here.

From here, we could check out these shops to see which one suits us. Thrill-seekers could check out the Mage Arena, located deep in the Wilderness, but would be at risk of being attacked by other players on the journey there. Alternatively, we could complete The Feud quest to unlock the Rogue Trader miniquest, to unlock Ali's Discount Wares. If we don't feel like spending our money, we could also check out which NPCs drop Law Runes, pop our combat gear on and try our luck - remember that bit at the start about setting goals and watching the game unravel around you?

Alternatively, you could train up your Runecraft skill using the resources we showed you earlier on this page, and make Law Runes for yourself!

No matter how you choose to get your hands on the necessary runes, the power of teleportation can't be understated, but Magic has even more applications for getting you around the world...

Sure you could spend one Law Rune to get yourself to Varrock, or you could spend one Cosmic Rune to enchant a piece of jewellery for multiple teleports to several different locations, let's take a look!

If you take a look at your Spellbook tab, you'll also notice this 'Jewellery Enchantments' icon. Clicking this will bring up seven spells, allowing you to enchant various types of jewellery - it all depends on the gem that you're using.

Either through trading with other players, drops from NPCs, buying them from shops or crafting them for yourself, you'll be able to snag rings, necklaces, amulets and bracelets made with sapphires, emeralds, rubies, diamonds and dragonstones. Enchanting these jewellery items gives them unique effects, which can include charges to teleport with!

We won't go into too much detail (and you can find a full list of teleport jewellery for yourself on the OSRS Wiki by clicking here), but we'd like to highlight in particular the Ring of duelling (an enchanted emerald ring) and the Games necklace (an enchanted sapphire necklace). By combining your Magic and Crafting skills (or buying jewellery from the Grand Exchange), you can easily stack up a bunch of these which boast eight charges that you can use to teleport to a variety of really handy locations for any player who's just getting started.

Some teleportation jewellery can't be made and is unlocked by completing content like Quests or Achievement Diaries. Check out the 'Other Transportation Methods' tab to learn more about these!

Beyond everything you've learned about already, there are loads of items you can grab from shops, enemy drops, or by completing quests!

Perhaps the most useful among these for players just starting out is the Chronicle. You can purchase these from the sharply-dressed Diango in Draynor Village, buy some Teleport cards to put inside the Chronicle, then use it to teleport right next to Varrock - neat!

If you're looking for a more long-term goal, those Fairy Rings that we mentioned at the start are scattered all over Gielinor, making them an extremely useful unlock and appealing early goal.

Keeping with the magical theming, Spirit Trees (unlocked by completing the Tree Gnome Village quest) are a great option for getting to some hard-to-reach areas like the Gnome Stronghold, Tree Gnome Village or Khazard Battlefield just south-west of Ardougne, and can all be accessed from the north-eastern corner of the Grand Exchange - handy!

For another quest unlock, the Ectophial is a great teleport to aim for by completing the Ghosts Ahoy quest, offering you a reliable and reusable teleport to the eastern edge of Morytania, which isn't the easiest to access in a pinch while you're less-progressed.

This last one's not an item, but extremely useful! Click on the tab denoted by two smiley faces, then navigate to the 'Grouping' section. From here you can pull up a drop-down list of many of the minigames on offer in Old School. Select a minigame of interest and then use the 'Teleport' button to whisk yourself away. Note that some of these teleports will have requirements to unlock - more for you to work towards - and that teleporting in this manner has a 20 minute cooldown between uses.

There's even more to getting around than we could possibly list here, so check out those OSRS Wiki pages that we've been linking for yourself, or just make sure to keep an eye out as you're progressing throughout your adventures in Gielinor!
