Quest Speedrunning
Quest Speedrunning is a members-only game mode released on 12 October 2022. The game mode takes place on separate worlds and gives players a different save profile, similarly to Leagues. From there, players are able to choose a quest that they want to speedrun and will be given the relevant levels and items to start them.
The game mode was originally scheduled for release on 28 September, but it was pushed back to review player feedback from the Quest Speedrunning beta and updating the game engine to accommodate the launch.

Restrictions
Speedrunning worlds have the same mechanics as regular worlds during a speedrun, with a few exceptions:
- The tutorial is skipped, meaning the player will start immediately in Lumbridge.
- All accounts are treated as ironmen, so trading with other players and the Grand Exchange are disabled.
- PvP is disabled.
- No access to Castle Wars, Emir's Arena, Falador Party Room, Fight Pits, Last Man Standing, Rat Pits, Soul Wars, or Trouble Brewing.
- Teleport cooldowns (e.g. Home Teleport) are paused on logout.
- Shops have a static stock and items will never sell out. Items can still be sold to shops, but will be instantly deleted.
- Items picked up from the floor are player-specific, so waiting for item spawns will not be an issue.
- Dropped items act as normal, but are deleted once the speedrun ends.
- Fires lit by players always burn out after one minute, and ashes only appear to the player who lit the fire as well.
- Fired ammunition, such as arrows, only appears to the player themselves.
- Death works as normal.
If the player is not on a speedrun, extra exceptions apply:
- Experience gain is disabled.
- Deaths are safe and any items dropped on death are deleted. If the player dies, they will respawn in Lumbridge with the items they had.
List of quests
15 quests are available for players to perform a speedrun on. Below lists the quests available and the time the player needs to beat in order to unlock the corresponding Speedrun Trophy.
Not all quests will have the items readily provided to the player, in order to encourage strategising for the optimal routes to acquire the necessary items, while providing them with suitable items such as coins, food, and energy potions. For example, players speedrunning Cook's Assistant will not be provided the pot of flour, bucket of milk, and egg.

Silver | Beat the silver time for all available quests. |
