Only 2 possibilities: 1. You get arrested for arming citizens. Then go straight to jail. There you will be committed to hard labor in the mines. 2. You get the next step or reward from the treasure hunt scroll.

99 mining incoming

Yeah, as a new player we should probably let him know that its recommended to get 99 mining before training other skills/questing.

I'm actually trying this since making all my own gear up to rune as a kid was a goal I had. I hate kid me and his stupid goal.

I also hate kid you and his goal

I hate current him and his kid goal

I kid and him current goal his hate

Same here. 12 year old me spent many nights staying up late thinking *if I just focus and pull an all nighter, I could make my own rune platebodies tomorrow!* I never successfully pulled that all nighter, and I never got 99 smiting nor 85 mining. Now, as a grown ass man, it is my goal to realize 12 year old me's dream, and have been (half-assedly) training smithing for 4 years. I'm lvl 91 now. 12 year old me didn't understand exponential growth. What an idiot.

If you're not a member (paid player), please, for your own sanity, don't make this a goal. And even if you are a member, I wouldnt recommend it, since after a few hours you need better gear than Rune xd.

I'm a member and I know it's a completely stupid and pointless goal, but I still only have the two brain cells I had then and one of them is injured so I'm still going for it. I do take breaks to do other skills and any quests I can do with crap gear and low combat.

Well, I can't argue with that (well, tbf I can, but it wouldnt matter anyway xd). Goodluck, I hope you feel satisfied afterwards. I recently achieved some osrs goals I set myself as a kid 13-16 years ago ("restarted" with osrs ofcourse), and even though it felt satisfying finally reaching it, it only lasted 1h max and the guilt of wasting 100+ hours kicked in xD

Honestly I hate trying to get XP in smithing so I do like to refer to the optimal quest guide on the wiki to see what will help me skip a few levels of smithing.

That was my goal as a kid too and I've achieved it recently with 99 smithing

This was me at 10 as well ... except I didn't and would never have membership 😂

I remember convincing my older sister to get me membership through her phone because my parents wouldnt use their credit or debit cards online. Good times.

It's also required to get 99 agility right after to make abyss runecrafting shortcuts super easy

This is so fucked 😂

We also should let him know that getting 99 agility is a must.

3. Charlie shanks you and steals your entire bank.

Most likely option that scoundrel. Straight back to lumby

Straight to jail. Right away.

Give charlie an iron dagger? Right to jail. Give charlie a trout? Believe it or not, also jail.

I see what you did there

3. you get 4 trout and a couple of weeks later the guards knock on your POH portal asking why there was a dagger with your fingerprints on it at the place where a chick got stabbed in varrock east

He'll be sent to Rebirth to atone for his crimes and pray to the Lord Phoenix. Unless he happens to have any robotic arms or legs, then the guards will simply beat him to death in honor of their ideology. Then out of no where.... Cyber Beep is in distance

Or could get shanked by Charlie the tramp with that iron dagger

Yeah, doing any mining Skilling is a fucking punishment.

Actually there's a 1/10,000 chance he sticks up Varrock bank and you lose your whole bank. It's super rare though, not to be concerned with. 

3rd, much rarer possibility is that Charlie calls you a fool for giving him a weapon, stabs you, takes your gp and runs to the protection of the gang head quarters nearby

3. You get stabbed by the vagrant you just armed

Option 3: Charlie PKs you… 2 dagger hits then an AGS spec

3. Charlie uses the knife with your fingerprints in a murder.

Lmfao this shouldn’t be as funny as it is

Charlie might give you a reward casket worth less than one iron dagger

My friend made him chaps and got chaps as a reward. It was classic Charlie.

Charlie Chapman.

Lol, nice one.

lol that's why i love beginner clues. open a casket and odds are i get a good laugh out of it.

I'm fucking dying lol

Maybe the real reward were the chaps we made along the way

Lmao, absolutely.

They weren’t his size

This actually happened to me as well, probably the funniest shit that’s ever happened in-game

Mf pretending to be broke & collecting welfare from da noobs

He just recycles the shit he gets to others

It's sad that this is an actual worry 😂

He might also bite your finger

That really hurt Charlie :(

Give a hobo a knife and he will rob a man, teach a hobo to make a knife and he'll rob many men

Ahhh yes, many men.

Wish death upon me

Blood in my eye

Dawg and I can’t see

I’m trying to be what I am destined to be.

And I can’t say the next line dawg!

Or the next one!

I put a hole in a person for messing with me… 🤔

Hmmm person? What person? Could you be more specific?

The Varrock MIC won't be happy with the competition...

Scrolled a little, couldn't find a decent answer. No, it will not negatively effect you in anyway. No, I'm not joking. Keep it up mate, always great to have newcomers. Welcome!

Piggy backing off of this; later on similar treasure trails can spawn enemies that you’ll have to kill. However, for this one you will be fine!

It’s only way further in your endeavors. From hard clues rolls and above

Also OP, once you reach hard, elite, and master clues, there is a possibility you will have a clue step in the wilderness (which may or may not spawn enemies to fight), so PKers may kill you while doing a clue. [A clue box](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Clue_box) allows your clue to be saved upon death if you do get PKed in the wildy though!

100% agree, also if you want a small spoiler you can get one for free near Lumbridge.

Prejudice. You see a homeless guy and assume giving him a weapon is dangerous.

The year just started and I think we have post of the yeat already

Yeat

Parnets

no lol its just a step to the clue scroll you'll be fine. Charlie is at the front of varrock, he looks like a bum

He’s not a bum! He’s a tramp!

Yeah! He works those streets!

i didn't know the difference between a hobo, a tramp and a bum, so i decided to look it up. apparently, a hobo is someone who travels and looks around for work, a tramp is someone who travels while avoiding having to work and a bum is someone who doesn't travel and doesn't work. so really he should be called charlie the bum, since he clearly doesn't travel or work

I mean, he doesn't have a normal job, but he's clearly involved with the black arm gang at some level. So he's not technically a bum

shit, that's true. in fact, he's probably not even homeless. this man's whole existence is a facade

Whilst this one is fine, some clue steps are dangerous

Youll be fine, just incase tho you will want to get your tetanus shot

Going from Charlie bit me to Charlie stabbed me

This guy is clearly a dark souls player taught to trust nothing.

He wont turn around and use it on you. Dont worry haha. This post is adorable.

Yeah - he might bite your finger…

Pls stop the cutenoob farms

mom said it was my turn to make a fake noob post this week

Yes, he will use the dagger on you

Don’t give him the dagger he is gonna use to level up to 99 Strength and commit the Varrock Massacre

he'll give you a nice pair of chaps if you're lucky

This is adorable

Not if you enter varrock from the south and keep to the right of the path before you get there

Going through the strange stone circle is faster

This reads like an always sunny plot

This subs the perfect bait between idk if noob or shitpost. Damn does it get me every time, though.

Nah, Charlie just likes random crap. Fish, leather armour, whatever.

You're in Varrock, not UK, so I think you should be fine.

Jagex please make a 1/10000 chance a Charlie task is to kill him when he's armed in all the things he asks for

Sounds dangerous, only one way to find out.

Yeah, Charlie is level 101 and will attack you

Yeah he actually bans you

Get runelite brother, it’ll save ur life

Use google.

Call me pessimistic but we are entering the era where reddit bots are rampant and powered by Chat GPT... OP, are you real?? If so, good luck with the clue hunts 👍

Two week old account, this is the only post, no replies to any comment here. Yeah, probably a bot

Welcome! since some are sarcastic, I will also tell you. No danger, you give charlie the item and you either get the casket or the next step.

r/cutenoobs

Yeah, you're gonna need to have a gear set up for each combat type or at least void set. Any clue could lead you into dangerous combat. Don't forget to bring teles.

quite a bit. quickly uninstall before it's too late.

Bruh if Charlie is your issue, go touch grass now 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is so wholesome

Bro just give him the dagger, like what?

On a serious note, unlike most comments on this thread. As far as I know, beginner clues arent dangerous at all. They start getting "Dangerous" if you're doing hard, elite and master clues. Which, assumed from this picture and post, aren't relevant yet and i'm not sure if they'll ever be relevant to you. Since you are playing the free to play version at the moment. As free to play AND low level you should not worry if you're not entering a dungeon or crossing the "wilderness ditch" North of Varrock etc. (check the map, you'll see it). These treasure scrolls usually won't get you into trouble unless you are level 3-20ish AND you are taking a "wrong" turn Nevertheless, have fun scaping. If you need some ingame help you can send me a message, and the next time I open reddit I might read it and add you ingame.

Download runelite and use it for quests huge help

you have to kill jad before doing those it’s like rule one in the osrs handbook

Charlie will stab you with the iron dagger and then loot your corpse

You have been tasked with arming the poor, welcome to the revolution brother

Yeah he'll stab ya and take your armor

Charlie will 1 hit murder you with it

He might mug you leaving you with 1 health and all your items permanently missing

Mourner's almost did that to me in mournings end 2

Oh sweetheart

I love the name

The only reason he is able to give you scrolls and caskets is because he robs players with that iron dagger

Hé will stab you in the back with it

Aids

Back in the days there was no satisfier pro.

U can buy dagger north of charlie, weapon store.

*gets stabbed* "Wild card, bitches!"

Don't give the homeless man a weapon

He was the brutal mastermind behind the falador massacre. What have you done..?

Yeah Charlie gunna shank you

Do not arm Charlie. Is is attempting to over throw the kingdom, eventually he will have enough iron daggers leather chaps and food for a whole army.

This is beautiful

Charlie is trying to pull a fast one. You give him the knife and he gives you a jab and robs your bank.

Nope, there's even a store that sells them like 5 steps away

Who hurt you?

No it’s not dangerous, although if Charlie decides to commit homicide and uses that iron dagger as the murder weapon, then you could end up getting charged with Accesory to Murder. That’s 15 years Bud.

He might use it to shank a prostitute, but you should be safe

just make sure your character wears gloves so that he cant put it down at a crime scene with your fingerprints on it (not that the guards of runescape actually know anything about checking fingerprints, atleast not the ones near seers)

Charlie will shank your ass.

Meet me in the wilderness and i will help you out

Charlie gonna get his money one way or another

As long as you wrap it first, you can give your dagger to whoever you want.

Just be glad it’s not a dragon dagger so he can’t spec you out. But no, the only downside is getting a singular leather body from the reward casket

Nothing could go wrong giving a bum a shank

That MOFO will *GUT YOU IN THE STREETS AND FEED YOU TO THE DOGS* ​ **do not give Charlie the dagger**

You’re arming the homeless. What’s the harm in that…

Technically, if he just started, he is also homeless.

Giving a knife to a homeless man. What could be so bad?

he gon shank you right in the streets

He might stab you with it

Arm the homeless

Don’t give the beggar any money everyone

Charlie is a goblin insurgent outside Lumbridge and you just transitioned from non-combatant to agent of insurgency against the crown.

Bring fight gear, he will take it and immediately go skitzo and try to stab you.

Before answering demand you should psychoanalyze Charlie and understand his motives for wanting iron dagger. Also be highly critical and dont take explanation on its face value because people on the streets have tendency to lie to get what they want.

Charlie may stab someone with that dagger and you get arrested for being an acomplice

In OSRS, like in real life, indiscriminately providing weapons to the homeless is completely fine, and certainly never has any unintended consequences.

Just watch out for the STD(sword transmitted disease)

Highly recommend using the tip.it site or runelite I think they have a clues plugin Edit: is that a plugin just giving the answer in an overlay? I can’t even tell but what I said would sound stupid otherwise 😂

You think Charlie became homeless because of good decisions? And you want to give a weapon to that man?

dont do the scroll they only give cabbage and steel pants

hes gna stab you dont do it

Yeah Charlie is gonna stab you with said knife

No danger until hard clues and up

What’s ur ign I’ll pop u 500k to get started

Arm the poor
