# Getting Started

This page is a guide for getting started on BSO if you're new to the bot. It is not an efficiency guide, or a guide designed for ironmen.

This guide assumes you have bought a minion (`/minion buy`) and have read the [OSB Starter Guide](https://wiki.oldschool.gg/getting-started/beginner-guide). Once you have mid-level equipment (Barrow's or Godwars equipment) and a few mid to high level stats (80s+), then you are done with the early game prep for BSO.\
\
Most of the content within BSO takes place in the endgame, with a few exceptions such as [QBD](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/demi-bosses/queen-black-dragon), [Dungeoneering](/skills/dungeoneering-training.md), and some [custom pets](/custom-items/pets.md). To build up early money aside from what you earn levelling skills, it is advised to frequently redeem your `/minion daily`, as well as opening or selling any mystery boxes you may receive for extra money. You can also earn decent money while training combat stats by levelling your [Slayer](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/skills/slayer) skill. Much of the content before doing end game content (which consists mainly of custom bosses) is levelling stats and gathering money to purchase better gear from other players.\
\
Once you have a decent amount of money, you can kill demi-bosses as a method of earning a decent amount of cash from unique drops and [Grandmaster Clues](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/custom-items/grandmaster-clues). These demi-bosses consist of, in order from lowest requirements to highest: [Queen Black Dragon](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/demi-bosses/queen-black-dragon), [Sea Kraken](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/demi-bosses/sea-kraken), [Treebeard](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/demi-bosses/treebeard)\*, [Malygos](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/demi-bosses/malygos)\*, [Nihiliz](/bso-custom-killables/demi-bosses/nihiliz.md)\*\
\
\*These bosses are better fought with higher tier equipment, so read the following:\
\
It is advised that after you have killed the demi-bosses enough to afford better gear to focus on killing [Kalphite King](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/kalphite-king) and [Nex](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/nex) for the best weapons and armour, respectively. Having these gear pieces unlocks the current end stage of the game, consisting of bosses with high requirements and high rewards. [Vasa Magus](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/vasa-magus), [King Goldemar](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/king-goldemar), [Ignecarus](https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/bosses/ignecarus), and [Emerged Zuk](/minigames/emerged-zuk-inferno.md) are all late-game bosses that reward BIS gear items for different activities.\
\
As far as content goes, the above is the current endgame for PvM. However, there are various skilling activities and minigames not listed in this guide that are easily accessed on other wiki pages. If you wish to be more involved with BSO then it is highly recommended that you read up on a few, if not most, of the wiki pages in order to have a better grasp on everything available within the bot.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://bso-wiki.oldschool.gg/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
