Quest points
Quest points, often abbreviated as QP, are part of the reward players get after they complete quests. They are considered a completion measure of quests in RuneScape.
The amount of points awarded depends on the quest, ranging from 1 to 6 points. A special case is Recipe for Disaster, since it is split up into 10 sub-quests, each awarding a QP.
A full list of quests, sortable by name, amount of QP, official length and membership requirement can be found on the Quests/List.
Purely Free-to-play players can get up to 44 quest points, the current maximum amount for Members is 319. To earn the right to wear the Quest point cape, players must complete every quest.
Miniquests do not award quest points. However, six miniquests are prerequisites to acquiring the Quest point cape as they must be completed before all QP may be earned. The six miniquests are:
- Alfred Grimhand's Barcrawl — required for Horror from the Deep and Scorpion Catcher
- Enter the Abyss — required for Devious Minds, Temple of the Eye, and Wanted!
- Skippy and the Mogres — required for Rag and Bone Man II
- Curse of the Empty Lord — required for The General's Shadow, and by extension Secrets of the North
- The General's Shadow — required for Secrets of the North
- His Faithful Servants — required for Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire

Minigames
- Tears of Guthix is a minigame which can be played once a week and is unlocked by completing the prerequisite Tears of Guthix quest. The more quest points a player has, the longer they can stay in the minigame, which means they will have the chance to collect more tears and get more experience in their lowest skill.
- Nightmare Zone is a minigame in which the player can fight bosses from previously completed quests. If the player has maximum quest points, the cost of custom Rumble mode will be reduced by 10,000 coins (to 12,000 coins for normal mode, and 16,000 coins for hard mode).
Other
- Every 50 quest points unlock a block slot for Slayer tasks, up to 6 slots at 300 quest points.
Trivia
- In 2001, completing some quests would add to the "influence" skill. Later, the "influence" skill was replaced by the quest point system.
- RuneScape Classic players could have up to 112 quest points.
