Spending time with the world map

Runescape is a large world, and while there are roads leading to and from the major cities and locations, there's a lot more of the world that goes off of the beaten path and the best way to get around successfully is to use the World Map regularly and explore and visit the different cities that you can access.

In time you'll get used to the lay of the land and you won't need to use the World Map as much, but initially, or when you're in a new area and not exactly sure which direction to go, the map is very useful in helping you use your precious energy efficiently.

The Jagex map is kind of slow to load on my computer, and finicky as well - it doesn't like to be ctrl-tab'd in behind other applications when it's loading, for example, but once it's loaded up it's a great adventurer tool. I've gone on many adventures to a new dungeon in my playing days, hunting around to see what's out there that I can take on and win.
