Free-to-play transportation

This article lists and describes all free-to-play transportation methods that allow to quickly travel between available areas.

Teleportation spells

The teleportation spells are available through the standard spellbook. They can be used almost anywhere, except for the area beyond the 20th level of the Wilderness. The caster is teleported after clicking on the appropriate spell icon in the spellbook menu.

Name	Cost	Requirements	Destination	Description
Lumbridge Home Teleport	30 minute cooldown		Front of the Lumbridge Castle	Has the same destination as the Lumbridge Teleport. Suffers a 30 minute delay between casts. Clicking on the spell icon in the spellbook does not immediately teleport the user. Instead, the caster begins the teleportation animation, which takes 22 ticks (or around 13.2 seconds). The casting can be interrupted by combat.
Varrock Teleport	3 1 1	25	The Varrock Square	The closest free-to-play teleport to the Grand Exchange. Pretty close to the Varrock West Bank. On the PvP worlds, the teleport destination is not a safe area.
Lumbridge Teleport	3 1 1	31	Front of the Lumbridge Castle	As opposed to the Lumbridge Home Teleport, this spell allows for instantaneous teleportation to Lumbridge. On regular worlds, both Varrock and Falador teleport destinations are closer to a bank. However, on the PvP worlds, this teleport destination is a safe area with a bank chest nearby.
Falador Teleport	3 1 1	37	A small square in the Falador city	Its destination is notable for being very close to the Falador West Bank. The destination seems to be the closest to a bank out of free-to-play Magic teleportation spells on regular worlds. However, on the PvP worlds the teleport destination area is not only not safe, but also multi-combat, which means the caster can be attacked by multiple players at once. There is no bank chest next to the teleport destination on the PvP worlds. While there is one available in the White Knights' Castle, it is not closer to the destination than the West Bank.

Minigame teleportations

Players on free-to-play worlds can use the Grouping interface to teleport to most minigames available for all accounts. By selecting a minigame and clicking the Teleport button, players begin an interruptable animation identical to the Lumbridge Home Teleport and transport to the minigame area after 22 ticks (or around 13.2 seconds). There is a 20 minute delay between subsequent minigame teleportations casts. Note that the delay is not shared with the Lumbridge Home Teleport spell, but it is shared among all available minigame teleports. The minigame teleports cannot be used within the Wilderness (with the exception of the Ferox Enclave area), but can be used anywhere else.

Minigame	Destination	Notable features	Description
Castle Wars	The Castle Wars lobby	Bank chest	Notable for being the closest teleportation method to a bank chest on non-PvP worlds. The lobby door within the area can be used to exit to the Ferox Enclave.
Clan Wars, Last Man Standing	Ferox Enclave	Bank chest, altar, Pool of Refreshment	Considered to be among the most useful free-to-play teleports, as the destination is very close to the free-for-all portal of Clan Wars and Pool of Refreshment. By entering and exiting the free-for-all area or using the pool players are instantly healed, their run energy and prayer points are restored, and all of their skill buffs and debuffs are removed. Using them is free, and hence much cheaper than healing with food and restoring energy with energy potions. The Ferox Enclave also has a bank chest and a banker. Teleport locations for both of these minigames are identical.

Canoes

Canoes can be used to transport between a few stations placed along the River Lum. An axe is required to make a canoe, although it can be dropped or given away before using the canoe. While no canoe station is positioned particularly close to a bank, most stations are in distinct locations that otherwise lack quick travel methods.

The first canoe type can be made at 12 Woodcutting level, although higher level canoes allow to travel through more stations at once, and hence allow to transport much faster. 57 Woodcutting is advised for this method of transportation, as Waka canoe allows to travel to every station in a single step, and is the only one that can be used to travel to the Wilderness stations.

Location	Requirements	Canoe	Description
Near goblin hut in north-eastern Lumbridge	12	Any	The closest to Lumbridge respawn point and Lumbridge Teleport destination. Has a bronze axe spawn nearby on the chicken farm north of the station.
South of the Champions' Guild and Varrock	12	Any	Can be used to quickly get to Varrock without 25 Magic level necessary to cast Varrock Teleport. Close to the chronicle teleport destination.
East of the Barbarian Village	12	Any	Among the fastest ways of getting to the Barbarian Village from Lumbridge.
East of Edgeville, west of the Grand Exchange	12	Any	Among the fastest ways of getting to Edgeville and the Grand Exchange from Lumbridge.
Ferox Enclave	57	Waka	Takes the players to the Ferox Enclave, which is a safe area within the Wilderness. Notable for access to the free-to-play PvP minigames, Pool of Refreshment and a bank.
Central Wilderness	57	Waka	Takes the players through an underground tunnel leading to a tiny lake located at the 35th level of the Wilderness. Notable for being next to multiple moss giant spawns and near the Hobgoblin Mine with as many as 8 adamantite rocks. Note that there is no station nearby, and you cannot return via a canoe: this is a one-way trip. The destination's level of Wilderness is also considerably higher than 20, which prevents the players from using all free-to-play teleportation methods.

Items

Item	Charges	Recharged with	Location	Destination	Description
Chronicle	Up to 1000	Teleport card	Anywhere outside of the Wilderness	Back of the Champions' Guild	Purchased from the Diango's Toy Store for 300 coins and can be equipped into the shield slot. It is recharged via using Teleport cards, also sold by Diango for 150 coins, on it. Each card adds one charge, but the action consumes every card in the inventory. The destination is notable for being close to the Champions' Guild, a Canoe station, the South-west Varrock mine and the Dark wizard circle south of Varrock. It is also the fastest way to get to Varrock in free-to-play without Magic levels, with 25 to cast Varrock Teleport.
File:Skull sceptre.pngSkull sceptre	Up to 10	Bone fragments	Any	Barbarian Village, Stronghold of Security entrance	Obtained by combining Right skull half with Left skull half into Strange skull, Bottom of sceptre with Top of sceptre into Runed sceptre, and finally Strange skull and Runed sceptre into a Skull sceptre with 10 charges. All sceptre pieces are dropped by various monsters in the Stronghold of Security. Can be equipped into the weapon slot. The sceptre has to be imbued by Solztun in order to be recharged. The imbued sceptre can be recharged with bone fragments. Regular sceptres are destroyed after using all charges. Allows to teleport next to the entrance to the Stronghold of Security. The destination is notable for being the centre of Barbarian Village, which is pretty close to Edgeville. The teleportation can be used up to the 20th level of the Wilderness.
Disk of returning	∞	N/A	Dwarven Mine, Mining Guild	Blackhole, Dwarven Mine nearby the general store	This midsummer event item allows to teleport into and out of the Blackhole from anywhere within the Dwarven Mine. Exiting the Blackhole always teleports the players into the same location in the Dwarven Mine nearby the general store, as well as the Nurmof's Pickaxe Shop and members-only archery shop.

NPCs

NPC	Location	Destination	Description
Shantay	Shantay Pass, south of Al Kharid	Port Sarim Jail	After asking Shantay about his place, claiming to be an outlaw and refusing to pay, players will be thrown to the jail in Port Sarim. While this is the only way to teleport directly to Port Sarim on free-to-play worlds, getting to Shantay Pass can be troublesome in the first place.
Captain Tobias	Port Sarim docks.	Musa Point, Karamja	Captain Tobias, along with Seaman Lorris and Seaman Thresnor, allow to travel from Port Sarim to the Musa Point in Karamja for 30 coins. It is worth noting that after Pirate's Treasure quest players can quickly travel with right-click menu option that skips the dialogue.
Customs officer	Musa Point, Karamja	Port Sarim docks	You can talk to the Customs officer to return from Karamja to Port Sarim for 30 coins. Will confiscate any Karamjan rum you have got on you. Pirate's Treasure allows to use right-click travel option that skips the dialogue.
Cabin Boy Colin	Rimmington Corsair Cove	Corsair Cove Rimmington	Allows to travel to Corsair Cove from a dock near Rimmington and back for free after The Corsair Curse quest. Before completion of the quest, Captain Tock is temporarily in his place.
Count Check	Lumbridge graveyard	Barbarian Village, Stronghold of Security entrance	Allows to teleport next to the entrance of Stronghold of Security once. Particularly useful for new players wanting to collect the stronghold rewards.
Aubury	Aubury's Rune Shop, Varrock	Rune essence mine	Aubury and Archmage Sedridor can teleport players to rune essence mine after the Rune Mysteries quest. Leaving the mine teleports players back to the NPC location. Note that Aubury is located much closer to a bank.
Archmage Sedridor	Wizards' Tower basement	Rune essence mine	Aubury and Archmage Sedridor can teleport players to rune essence mine after the Rune Mysteries quest. Leaving the mine teleports players back to the NPC location.
Ned	South Port Sarim docks	Crandor shore	During Dragon Slayer I, Ned allows you to travel to Crandor isle. After the quest, the isle can be accessed through the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon.
Saradominist recruiter	Games Zone in the south-western corner of the Grand Exchange	Saradomin Castle Wars lobby	Saradominist recruiter allows to join the Saradomin lobby of the Castle Wars minigame provided that it is not full.
Zamorakian recruiter	Games Zone in the south-western corner of the Grand Exchange	Zamorak Castle Wars lobby	Zamorakian recruiter allows to join the Zamorak lobby of the Castle Wars minigame provided that it is not full.
Sorceress	South-east of Al Kharid	South-east of Al Kharid	Sorceress can teleport players to the front of her house. Not particularly useful.

Death

After players lose all hitpoints outside of safe minigames, they die and immediately reappear at their respawn point. This mechanic can be exploited for transportation, although it is much more viable for players with low hitpoints or defence levels due to the time required to actually die.

It should be noted that regular players keep only 3 most valuable items upon regular death. Skulled players lose all of their items. A single extra item can be kept using Protect Item prayer, regardless of the skull status. Since lost items can be recovered from the graves or Death's Office, this can be exploited to avoid banking. This method is especially useful on the PvP worlds, as other accounts can be used to quickly kill the character. See death mechanics before attempting this method.

Respawn point	Requirements	Notes
Front of the Lumbridge Castle	N/A	Default respawn point. Unless death drop mechanics are exploited on purpose to temporarily store lost items, Lumbridge Home Teleport and Lumbridge Teleport might provide a faster way to get to Lumbridge.
Abandoned building in the Edgeville	Pay 5,000,000 coins to Krystilia	Close to a bank. Although costly to unlock, dying with this respawn point is among the fastest ways to get to Edgeville. Extremely useful for player killers wanting to quickly access the low level Wilderness area after death.
Ferox Enclave, near the pub	Pay 5,000,000 coins to Ferox	Very close to a banker. Although costly to unlock, it is very useful for player killers wanting to quickly access the Wilderness around the Ferox Enclave after death, as it does not follow the same time limitations as the minigame teleports.

Runic altars

Talismans and enchanted tiaras allow to teleport to various Runic altars by entering mysterious ruins throughout the map.

Runic altar	Talisman	Tiara	Mysterious ruins location
Air Altar	Air talisman	Air tiara	South of Falador
Mind Altar	Mind talisman	Mind tiara	Between Ice Mountain and Goblin Village
Water Altar	Water talisman	Water tiara	Lumbridge Swamp
Earth Altar	Earth talisman	Earth tiara	North-east of Varrock
Fire Altar	Fire talisman	Fire tiara	North of Al Kharid, west of Emir's Arena
