Beginner's Guide

New to Resource Terminal? Start here. Two skills, infinite grind, real Bitcoin.

🪓 Woodcutting — Your First Gold

When you first spawn in Lumbridge, you have a woodcutting axe in your inventory. Trees are everywhere. This is where the grind begins.

1
Find a tree. Walk east from Lumbridge castle. You'll see regular trees lining the path. Click on one — your character will start chopping automatically.
2
Wait for logs. Each chop attempt has a chance of success based on your Woodcutting level. Logs will appear in your inventory. Keep chopping until your inventory fills up (28 slots).
3
Sell at the General Store. Walk north to the Lumbridge General Store. Click "Sell" and sell all your logs. The shop pays GP based on supply and demand — the less logs they have in stock, the more they pay you.
4
Repeat. Every 1,000 GP you earn converts to 1 RST automatically. The merchant handles it. You just grind.

⬆ As your Woodcutting level grows, you unlock better trees: Willows (level 30) in Draynor Village, Maples (level 45), and Yews (level 60) in Edgeville — each paying significantly more GP per log.

⛏️ Mining — Digging for Bitcoin

Mining is the second core skill. You need a pickaxe — buy one at the General Store for a few coins if you don't already have one. Then head to any mine.

1
Get a pickaxe. A bronze pickaxe from the General Store will do to start. Better pickaxes require higher Mining levels — iron (level 1), steel (level 6), mithril (level 21), rune (level 41).
2
Find a mine. The Varrock East Mine (northeast of Varrock) has iron, copper, and tin rocks. The Varrock West Mine has copper and tin. Click a rock to start mining it.
3
Mine until full. Ore goes straight to your inventory. When you hit 28 items, walk to the Varrock East bank, deposit everything, then head back to the mine.
4
Sell your ore. Bring your ores to the General Store or hold them. Iron ore pays well early game. Coal and mithril from the Mining Guild (level 60) pay the most.

Power miners drop ore on the ground instead of banking — trading profit for faster XP. Once your Mining level is high enough to mine fast rocks, the XP rate matters more than the GP per trip.

₿ Why This Matters — GP to Bitcoin

Here's the part that's different from any other private server. Every GP you earn isn't just a number in a database — it gets converted to $RST, an OP20 token deployed on the Bitcoin blockchain via OPNet.

Chop logs / Mine ore
Sell for GP
1,000 GP = 1 RST
RST on Bitcoin

OPNet is a smart contract layer that runs inside Bitcoin transactions using Tapscript. Your RST tokens are settled directly on the Bitcoin blockchain — not a sidechain, not a wrapped token, not a bridge. Real Bitcoin finality.

Once you have RST in your OP_WALLET, you can:

  • Hold it — account value grows as more players join
  • Stake it at the sRST contract to earn passive rewards from game fees
  • Trade it on MotoSwap (NativeSwap) for BTC directly
  • Use it to unlock harder areas of the game world

The Venezuela gold farming era proved that broken economies could find real income in virtual ones. Jagex captured that market in 2013 with Bonds — an in-game stablecoin backed by membership. Resource Terminal goes further: the GP settlement is on-chain and transparent. Your grind is your ledger entry. Bob says so every hour.

🧠 The harder you grind, the more the world unlocks. Phase 1 (Misthalin) is free. Earn 1,000 RST and Asgarnia opens up. Hit 10,000 RST and the full world is yours — Karamja, Morytania, Kandarin, everything.

🌍 World Gating — How the Map Opens Up

The world is hard-locked into three tiers. You start with almost nothing and earn your way outward.

  • Tier 0 — Misthalin only. Lumbridge, Varrock, Draynor, Al Kharid. Free from the start.
  • Tier 1 — +Asgarnia. Falador, Port Sarim, Rimmington, Edgeville, the Wilderness. Requires 1,000 RST.
  • Tier 2 — Full world. Karamja, Kandarin, Morytania, everything. Requires 10,000 RST + Dragon Slayer complete + The Great Beyond complete.

⚠️ 10,000 RST alone is not enough to unlock the full world. You also need to complete both quests below. All three requirements must be met simultaneously.

🐉 Quest: Dragon Slayer

Difficulty: Hard  •  Reward: 2 Quest Points + Rune platebody + 18,650 Strength & Defence XP

The classic free-to-play boss quest. Prove yourself by slaying Elvarg the dragon on Crandor Island. Required before you can even start The Great Beyond.

1
Start the quest. Talk to the Guildmaster inside the Champions' Guild (south of Varrock, east side). Ask about a Rune platebody. He'll send you to Oziach.
2
Visit Oziach. Find him in a small hut northwest of Edgeville, by the cliffs. He'll agree to sell you a Rune platebody — if you slay Elvarg on Crandor Island first.
3
Collect the three map pieces. You need all three to assemble the Crandor map:

Melzar's map piece — complete Melzar's Maze near Port Sarim
Goblin map piece — buy or kill Wormbrain in Port Sarim jail
Oracle map piece — talk to the Oracle on Ice Mountain (north of Falador)
4
Buy and repair the Lady Lumbridge. Buy the ship from the Dockmaster at Port Sarim docks. Repair it using 3 planks + 90 steel nails + a hammer (use planks on the ship holes). Also pick up the Anti-dragon shield from Duke Horacio in Lumbridge Castle.
5
Sail to Crandor. Give all three map pieces to Ned in Draynor Village. He'll combine them. Then speak to Ned at the Port Sarim docks — he'll sail you to Crandor Island.
6
Enter the lair. On Crandor, find the secret door on the south side of the island and click it to unlock the passage. The gate inside the dungeon opens automatically once you've sailed to Crandor.
7
Slay Elvarg. Elvarg is level 83 and breathes dragonfire. Keep your Anti-dragon shield equipped at all times — without it, each breath hits up to 70 damage. With it, the max drops to 10. Land the killing blow to receive quest credit.

⚔️ Recommended: Rune armour, full food inventory, Anti-dragon shield equipped. Elvarg alternates between melee and dragonfire — stay in melee range and eat through the fire hits.

✨ Legendary Quest: The Great Beyond

Difficulty: Legendary  •  Reward: 3 Quest Points + Rune platelegs + 175k HP/Mining/WC XP + 100k Smithing XP + Full world unlock

This is the hardest quest on the server. Completing it — alongside Dragon Slayer and 10,000 RST — opens every zone on the map. Expect 25 to 100 hours of grinding.

Prerequisites: Dragon Slayer complete & 10,000 RST (Tier 2).

Phase 1 — Dragonkind's Proof

1
Find the Beyond Sage. He stands outside the Champions' Guild, south of Varrock. He won't speak to you until both prerequisites are met. Accept the quest when prompted.
2
Collect four proofs from dragonkind. Each item only drops while Phase 1 is active:

Ancient Green Scale — from green dragons (1 in 10 chance per kill)
Ancient Blue Scale — from blue dragons (1 in 10 chance per kill)
Ancient Red Scale — from red dragons (1 in 10 chance per kill)
King's Soul Shard — from the King Black Dragon (guaranteed drop, once)

🐉 Dragon Raid World Events — every 8 hours, a dragon from Elvarg's family raids a resource zone. These raid dragons count as full dragon kills and drop the quest scales. Watch for the broadcast warning and fight together.

• Green dragon raids Draynor Willows (accessible from Tier 0)
• Blue dragon raids Varrock West Mine (accessible from Tier 0)
• Red dragon raids Varrock East Mine (accessible from Tier 0)
• KBD raids Mining Guild (accessible from Tier 0)
• Black dragon raids Edgeville Yews (accessible from Tier 1)

Everyone who participates earns GP. Scales drop to the individual who tags the kill.

3
Return all four proofs to the Beyond Sage. He takes them and advances you to Phase 2.

Phase 2 — The Price of the Gate

4
Deliver resources to the Beyond Sage. He accepts partial deliveries — bring what you have, come back as many times as needed. He tracks your running total.

3,000 Coal
5,000 Yew logs
5,000 Oak logs
10,000 Willow logs
1,000 Bronze bars
1,000 Iron bars

Talk to the Sage and select "Check my progress" at any time to see how far along you are.
5
Deliver the final batch. When all six totals are met, the quest completes automatically on your next delivery. The gate stands open.

🌍 Once The Great Beyond, Dragon Slayer, and 10,000 RST are all done simultaneously, the full world unlocks — Karamja, Kandarin, Morytania, the Wilderness deep, and everything beyond. There are no shortcuts. That is the point.
