The Markdown below is the default **60 Attack · 52 Prayer** route. HTML checklists update when the visitor changes caps.

## Default route

### Phase 01 — Dive head first off the Lumbridge

*Foundation.* This route assumes a funded members account, not an iron account. Buy the Items-page shopping list and a practical travel kit, begin passive Farming immediately, then front-load pure-safe quest XP before manual training.

1. **Confirm the build and funding assumptions** (Setup)
   - This plan targets 60 Attack · 52 Prayer, 1 Defence, and assumes tradeable requirements can be bought on the Grand Exchange.
2. **Purchase all items from the Items page and bank them** (Gear)
   - Open the Items tab, buy every listed quantity on the Grand Exchange, and deposit the lot before questing. Skip the later untradeables and on-route pickups.
   - Open: https://purepath.fyi/items
3. **Bank a funded-account questing utility kit** (Gear)
   - Keep stamina or energy potions, food, antipoison, teleport jewellery, house teleport tablets, cannonballs, and basic melee, Ranged, and Magic gear stocked. These repeat-use supplies are separate from the exact quest-item shopping list.
