Get to know your surroundings.

Get your character to higher levels through training - but remember to have fun!

If you have a question about an item, or how to get something, ask someone, however, if they would not like to talk, do not annoy them. This can give you a bad reputation! Just check the RuneScape Official Forums, or ask a more experienced friend.

Don't think you can get high level stuff that other people have acquired; you have to work for it.

Get your other things up besides combat. Don't focus on just one skill.

Play fair, don't break the rules, and don't act in an offensive or insulting manner with other players.

If you are having trouble finding information from your friends, the Knowledge Base, or the Forums, visit a fansite! Try to stick to more well known sites, however, as some RuneScape Fansites do contain keyloggers or other malware.
