Map Dots	As Runescape Help explains, on the map available in your game window, "You are the big white square in the middle. Yellow squares are computer characters and black ones are stairs or ladders. Blue ones are scenery and red ones are objects that are lying around. White ones are other human players and green ones are your friends."
Maps*	Rune News provides wonderful land maps and mine maps, and Alien Chaos has FULL map of Runescape that includes the Wilderness, islands etc.--all with the usual icons.  Liquid Clock provides my favorite map--which shows both the entire world and the wilderness.
Money-making	Runescape Help offers a page on how to make money.  One thing to do is buy silk in Al Karid (purchased for 3 gold each) and sell them in the clothing shop in Varrock (for 16 gold each).  Be sure to wait a few seconds between each transaction when selling so the price rises back to 16 gold.  The round trip from Varrock (including selling) takes about 20 minutes, and it's common to return with 20 or so silks for a net profit of 260 gold.

Official Site	The official Runescape site.
Prayer*	Prayer increases by burying bones and simply using prayer. Prayer can be recharged at any church's altar.  One way to increase prayer is by going to an altar, running ALL prayers that you can simultaneously, then clicking on the altar to recharge.        By picking up then burying enough bones, you raise your prayer level.  One place to pick up bones is in Edgeville in and around the two buildings closest to the bridge.  Perhaps an even better place is the house and cow pasture area just north of Lumbridge.  Also see the Prayers section in the first chart.        And a tip of the helm to Gunn Associates for the following:  "Free normal bones can be picked at ghost town (nothing guarding). Big bones can be picked up at around level 20 wilderness on the east side, but guarded by level 31 armed skeletons (beware).  Normal bones give you 3.75 prayer experience when buried (15 prayer exp for each 4 bones). And big bones give you 12.5 prayer exp when buried (25 prayer exp for each 2 big bones)."
Prices*	Runescape Tips offers an interesting page on the impact of selling on merchant item prices.

Wizard Items	For runes, see the rune shop in Varrock, or defeat dark wizards in the "Stonehenge" circle just southeast of the south Varrock gate or at the Wizard's Tower.      For staffs, see the staff shop in Varrock.      For hats, visit the magic shop in Port Sarim. (Blue hats are better than black.)      For robes, check the general stores or defeat wizards in the "Stonehenge" circle just southeast of the south Varrock gate or at the Wizard's Tower. (Blue robes are better than black.)      Actually, a good place to search for blue hats and robes is in the Wizard Tower and on the ground a bit northwest of the crossroads just north of Port Sarin.  It seems a lot of players fight mages there and simply leave the hats and robes on the ground.        For black capes, defeat the Highwaymen.  Highwaymen can be found only around the crossroads just north of Port Sarim. They always drop a black cape. Blue capes can only be purchased in the Guardians Guild building; entrance requires 32 points of questing experience.  (Blue capes are better.)  Red capes have no armor effect.        Gloves and boots can be purchased at general stores.  Alternatively, you can kill cows to get cowhides, visit the tannery in Al Karid to have it made leather, then use a needle and thread.  (If you start in Lumbridge, take the bridge to the east and then take the road that runs north, you'll find cows in an enclosure on the right-hand side.)  Al Karid has a crafting shop that sells needles and thread.
