ASHMARCH

Task System

Ashmarch does not use the old quest list for account progression. The Task System gives structured goals across skilling, combat, exploration and account milestones, paying task points that spend in the in-game Task Shop. Keep one short-term and one long-term task active at all times.

Ashmarch no longer uses the old quest list for account progression. Instead, the server uses a Task System that gives you structured goals across skilling, combat, exploration, and account milestones. It is designed to answer the two most common new-player questions: "What should I do next?" and "Which rewards matter most right now?"

How to use it well: Keep at least one short-term task and one long-term task active at all times. The short task keeps momentum going, while the long task gives your training sessions a clear purpose.

What Tasks Replace

The Task System replaces the old role that quests used to play: it gives guided progression, unlock pacing, and reward targets without forcing you through long story chains. Instead of chasing Quest Points, you now build your account through meaningful objectives that line up with how people actually train on a 2006 server.

Task Categories

Category	Focus	Typical Examples	Why It Matters
Starter	Early account setup	Equip starter gear, bank supplies, kill low-level monsters	Gives new accounts immediate direction and easy early rewards
Skill	Gathering and artisan progress	Mine ore, cook food, chop logs, craft runes	Builds reliable account stats and unlocks better money makers
Combat	PvM and survivability	Train melee stats, use prayer, defeat stronger monsters	Pushes combat milestones without guessing where to train
Slayer	Assigned monster progression	Complete kill-count objectives, move to harder masters	Combines combat XP, profit, and access to better drops
Exploration	Map knowledge and utility	Visit cities, use travel systems, reach minigame hubs	Opens faster routing and reduces wasted travel time
Account Milestones	Longer progression goals	Reach total levels, upgrade gear tiers, complete layered grinds	Acts as the replacement for old account progression checkpoints

How Progress Works

Step	What To Do	Practical Advice
Pick tasks	Choose tasks that match what you already planned to train	Do not select goals that force inefficient detours unless the reward is worth it
Track requirements	Check item, level, and area needs before leaving the bank	Pre-banking required tools saves more time than the task reward usually costs
Stack objectives	Combine a task with Slayer, clueing, or money-making routes	The best tasking happens when one trip advances two or three goals
Claim rewards quickly	Turn in or collect rewards as soon as the milestone is complete	Immediate reward claims often fund the next stage of progression
Rotate difficulty	Mix easy completions with medium or long grinds	This keeps momentum up and avoids getting stuck on one long objective

Best Early-Game Task Route

Stage	What To Prioritise	Why It Helps
1	Starter combat and supply tasks around Lumbridge	Gets you coins, food, and enough stats to stop feeling undergeared immediately
2	Basic Mining, Smithing, Fishing, and Cooking tasks	Covers your own supplies and smooths out early-game gear dependence
3	Travel and bank-access tasks around Varrock, Draynor, and Falador	Cuts down future travel time and makes the rest of the task list easier
4	Beginner Slayer tasks	Turns normal combat training into profitable, directed progression
5	First meaningful account milestone tasks	Creates a medium-term target so you are not just grinding stats blindly

Common Reward Types

Reward Type	What You Usually Get	Best Time To Value It
Coins	Straight cash injections for supplies or upgrades	Most valuable early, when small bankroll bumps matter most
Experience	Targeted XP in one or more skills	Best used to skip low-level training bottlenecks
Supplies	Food, runes, ammo, or skilling materials	Excellent when you are building a self-sustaining account loop
Access unlocks	Travel options, activity entry, progression flags	These are usually the highest long-term value rewards
Progression credit	Completion toward larger milestone chains	Important for players chasing efficient structured progression

Good tasking habit: If a task sends you to a monster or area you were already planning to use, do it immediately. If it sends you somewhere inefficient, park it and return once it overlaps with another goal.
