Lumbridge

Lumbridge, the city where the chatter of those fresh from tutorial island mingles with the dismay of those who just lost a fight. Lumbridge gets its name from the bridge crosses the River Lum. South of the city is the Lumbridge Swamp.

After completing Tutorial Island, this is where you start your true Runescape adventure. If you die, you respawn here (Unless you respawn in Falador). There's an NPC called the Lumbridge Guide who helps newcomers get used to the game, as well as the Lumbridge Castle, where you can start several quests.

Sheep farm
The Sheep Shearer quest may be started here, while it is also an excellent place to shear sheep to obtain wool which may be spun at the castle. Onions can be collected from the farmer's garden.

Cow pasture
Cows and calves to kill for raw beef, cowhide, and bones with a dairy cow for milking.

Forge
Useful for members using the agility shortcut from the mine, but generally unpopular as there is no bank or mine nerby, though it is well located if you wish to string crafted amulets or symbols.

General store
Many of the items sold here can also be picked up around the area.

Fishing spots
Level 20 Fishing is required to go fly-fishing for trout, or level 25 to go bait fishing for pike. You cannot use a net here.

Haunted house
On the east side of the river, this building houses large numbers of level 2 goblins and an iron dagger respawn, though the entire area is crawling with spiders and goblins. This area is a very popular area for new players to start training.

Toll gate
Until you have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest, it will cost 10 gp to pass either way through this gate, though it can be avoided with a long detour.

Lumbridge castle
The Cook's Assistant and Recipe for Disaster quests may be started here, while the Rune Mysteries and quest can be started by talking to the Duke upstairs. The spinning wheel, used in Crafting, is also located upstairs. If you have started the Recipe for Disaster Quest, there is a bank in the Cook's basement, as well as a wide variety of cooking ingredients and cooking implements to buy.

Respawns: At the top of one of the gate towers, a bronze pickaxe may be found
 * North stairs: Bronze arrow
 * Kitchen: Pot, jug, bowl
 * Basement: Bucket, Knife, entrange to the Dogreshuun mines.
 * South stairs: Mind rune

Saradomin Church
An altar to recharge your prayer points, and The Restless Ghost quest may be started here.

Bob's Brilliant Axes
Advertised on fliers dropped by many NPCs.

Buys and sells a limited range of axes:
 * Bronze pickaxe
 * Woodcutting axe in bronze, iron or steel
 * Battle axe in iron, steel or mithril

Chicken coop
The chicken coop is a bit to the west of the cow pasture. Chickens can be killed there, dropping feathers and raw meat. A few eggs might also be found there.
