Quests are groups of interrelated tasks, usually involving a story line, that can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours or even a few days to complete.
The starting locations for all quests are labelled with a blue compass icon 
on the minimap, and completing them can provide rewards ranging from experience and items, to access to new areas, minigames and miniquests.
As of 6 September 2018, there are a total of 139 quests in Old School RuneScape with 20 free and 119 member-only quests. A total of 266 Quest points are rewarded for the completion of all quests. Free players, however, can only obtain a maximum of 42 quest points. Players who have obtained the maximum number of quest points are able to wear the quest point cape.

Subquests
A subquest is a part of another quest, which upon completion gives additional rewards as well as quest point(s). Subquests may take less time and require fewquests
- Recipe for Disaster, which has nine subquests, one for each member of the Lumbridge council, and the Culinaromancer boss fight
Miniquests
Miniquests, are smaller pieces of story and skill content that are not required for the Quest point cape, but still tell stories similar to quests. Most miniquests are smaller in scale and shorter than a normal quest, but may have requirements stretching higher than normal quests or none at all. They are usually connected to existing pieces of content or used to tie up loose ends from quests, but some are standalone.
