Lumbridge would have to be the capital of the “newbies”, the dead, and people fresh off of Tutorial Island. It is located in a region with stark feature, having a swamp to the south and a desert to the east. It is also a great trade center with a General Store, Axe Shop, and many other shops and features.
- The Castle Courtyard
The castle courtyard is a very pretty place to be. There are two fountains and many nice shrubs lining the area. Hans maintains this area and is a worker for the Duke of Lumbridge. The two statues (or one if you have finished Garden of Tranquility) are of the King and Queen of Misthalin.
- The Graveyard and Church
The castle graveyard and church is the home of an altar, a Prayer Tutor, and a Yew Tree. The Prayer Tutor gives more information about prayers and their different uses. The beautiful Yew Tree in the graveyard is sadly victim to “macroers” looking to cheat. The altar gives no extra prayer points, but is the only one in that area.
- The Cooking Tutor
This tutor will give advice on the many aspects of the Cooking Skill. There is also a range in his house.
- Bob's Brilliant Axes
Bob sells a few Axes (Hatchets) and Battle-Axes. He also sells Bronze Pickaxes for one gp each encase you lost yours after Tutorial Island. His wares and prices are listed below for further notation.
- The General Store
The Lumbridge general store is one of many that sell security manuals and newcomer maps. They also sell a variety of other cheap necessities, making it pretty busy on Free-To-Play worlds.
 The Goblins
Behind the General Store are multiple low level (level two) goblins just waiting to be killed. They are probably the best training for new players. Their drops are usually sold to the general store.
- The Woodcut Tutor
In front of the store is a lumberjack wearing a ninety-nine Woodcutting Cape. You can buy your own from him once you make that great achievement. He gives sound advice about all aspects of woodcutting and has an awesome axe.
- Combat Tutors
To the south of the store are three combat tutors. They teach about the three combat styles: ranged, magic, and melee. They hand out training supplies such as low level runes, training bows and arrows, and training swords and shields. You can choose between the low level runes (thirty airs and thirty minds) or twenty-five training arrows and a training bow. These training items are not trade-able.
- The Furnace
In Lumbridge, there is one furnace, yet there are no anvils. This is a good spot to make bronze bars, which isn’t effective, but it’s good when you have just gotten off of Tutorial Island. There is also a tutor in there to tell you about smelting, which is half of the Smithing skill.
- The Lumbridge Mine
This new mine only contains five Copper and five Tin, but there is a tutor (what a surprise!) to teach about the skill of Mining
- The Fishing Spot
These new fishing spots in the swamps only contain Shrimps, Anchovies, and Bait Fish and there are two Small-Fishing Net respawns beside the spots. The tutor gives away Small-Fishing Nets and advice on the Fishing Skill.
- The Other Fishing Spot
This fishing spot is the only other Free-To-Play fly-fishing spot. It is not bad for training medium level fishing, but it isn’t a good spot to bank the fish. This isn’t good if you want to keep the fish for Cooking, though you could power fish there, but it is a decent distance from chickens for extra feathers.
- The Goblin House
This house is full of goblins and has a spit roast. There is part of the wall missing, so it is perfect for training Ranged from a safe distance.
- The Canoe Station
In Lumbridge there is one of three stations up the River Lum. You must have a minimum of twelve Woodcutting to access it, and it takes higher Woodcutting to go farther up the river.
- The Cow Pasture
Here are cows which they moo and give milk and also provide hides for Crafting and money. They are the best way for low levels to make money and get combat experience.
- The Chicken Coop
The chickens in this coop are great for low-level Ranged and Magic training. They also drop feathers, which can be sold or used for fly fishing.
- Lumbridge Castle
Of course it’s nice to end the tour of a city with the best part of it, the castle! On the bottom floor are respawns for Mind Runes and Bronze Arrows. There is also the Cook, who is the start and finish for Cooks Assistant and a major Non-Player Character in Recipe for Disaster.
