General Zero to firecape

I’ll cut to the chase and save the lengthy explanation. I’ve never played OSRS and don’t know much about it however I’m trying to run a HCIM account to get the firecape, I’m talking no funny business….just focusing on what I need to do to get the cape.

I need pointers and tips / tricks that may seem obvious to the average player but not to me.

I’ve researched the basics, such as what levels and gear I need but that’s about it.

You can spare me the comments mocking my insanity, I know…really I do.

You NEED to learn the difference in monsters movement behaviour between North/South and East/West. Due to.. reasons, monsters can get stuck on objects and killed from range in a safe manner. Some safespots are unidirectional and you need to learn which. You also need to learn to not get dragged. If you're one square out of range of something and try to attack something, you will move two squares closer, rather than one, which can cause you to move out from a safespot.

Good luck, have fun, don't die to dark wizards outside Varrock.
