You can access the world map while playing RuneScape by clicking the ‘globe’ next to your minimap. For obvious reasons, you will not be able to load the world map while you are in combat.

The world map interface

The world map view shows a large map of the entirety of RuneScape. On the map you will see the cities and information icons for specific locations, buildings and quest starting points.

If you prefer to have the world map as a file or your system, you can download a copy of the world map by clicking on the Downloads and Wallpapers link under the “Community” tab at the top of this page.

Once the world map is loaded, you can view any area of the world map by clicking and holding down the left mouse button, and then dragging the mouse. Release the mouse button to stop scrolling once the desired area comes into view.

There are three buttons at the bottom of the world map view.

Key	This is on the far left-hand side, click on it to see a grey list. In this list is an icon for specific locations in the game. Click on any of the entries in the key list and yellow circles will flash in the world map indicating where that building or location can be found.
Zoom	There are four zoom buttons – 37%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Click on any of these to magnify the world map. It will be necessary to do this when you want to get either a wider view or a more detailed view.
Overview	This is the last button on the far right-hand side. Click on this to get a minimap showing the entire RuneScape world. You can quickly move your view on the world map by either clicking on a spot in the overview or clicking and moving the red square. The red square in the overview represents the current area you are looking at in larger world view map. Use this overview when looking for locations using the ‘Key’ list. When you click on an entry in the Key, yellow circles will flash in the world map. But if the location is not in the current area you are examining, you will not see the yellow circles. Using the overview allows you to see the yellow circles even when they are not in your current view.

Minimap Icons

It is important that whenever you enter a new town or village that you are aware what is available to you there. Looking at the minimap is a good idea of how to familiarise yourself with the buildings in that town, so it is important that you know what each of the icons on the minimap stand for:
