How to Get to Catherby in Runescape

Runescape has stood the test of time as one of the longest-lasting MMORPGs. With frequent updates and a dedicated player base, it continues attracting new players and returning old ones.

Catherby is one of the closest locations in the members-only area and the first place most new P2P players need to reach. The sprawling map can be challenging if you’re new to the game. We’re here to make your trip a bit easier.

How to Get to Catherby

The easiest way to get to Catherby if you’ve never been in the members-only area before is to use the Lodestone Network. If you’re a new player, you have only one Lodestone available, Burthorpe. Luckily, it’s one of the closest options to the village, making it a great starting point.

We’d still recommend going through the tutorial sections to unlock other Lodestones in the F2P area before traveling to Catherby.

Once you’ve got your Lodestones sorted, here’s how you can get to Catherby:

1. Bring some armor and supplies with you since you’ll travel in the wilderness.
   
2. Teleport to Burthorpe or Taverley. These are the two closest Lodestones.
   
3. If you’re in Burthorpe, you must travel south to Taverley. Once you’re in Taverley, go west directly.
   
4. Keep south of the White Wolf Mountain, or follow its path. This area has plenty of aggressive NPCs. Lower-level players might have problems with wolves, especially the bigger white ones. Try to run away if possible. The path south of the mountain might be blocked, so you’d need to go through White Wolf Mountain to reach Catherby.
   
5. You should reach Catherby after you start going down the other side of the mountain path.
   

Once you reach Catherby, activate its Lodestone, making the town easy to teleport to next time. Finish the fishing quest in the town to unlock a shortcut between Catherby and Taverley if you plan to make the journeys on foot.

Other Ways to Reach Catherby

Once you’ve reached Catherby via foot, it becomes relatively easier to do so from other member-only areas. One of the other closest cities to Catherby is Camelot. Camelot has a specific teleportation spell that doesn’t use Lodestones and needs you to have Level 45 Magic. This area is also much safer to travel, especially since you should be higher-leveled and better-equipped at that point.

Another popular method of reaching Catherby, without using Lodestones, is to get a Charter ship from any port. This method can be extremely costly but is nearly instantaneous and risk-free if you’ve never been to the area.

What Can You Do in Catherby

Catherby is one of the map’s most popular fishing and farming areas. It is an excellent center of operations for any budding farmer or fisherman, allowing them to quickly store their spoils thanks to its allotment farm patches, fishing spots, a bank, and a charter port.

Catherby is a spot you shouldn’t miss if you’re a new Runescape member. It’s very close to the free-player areas, so starting your member adventure in a sleepy fishing town makes sense.
