How do I install and run Anarchy?

The login screen

Download Anarchy and start the game by double-clicking the downloaded Anarchy.jar file. Simply choose a username and password and login. There is no need to register anywhere else. If you receive the error "Invalid username or password", it means an account name is already in use and you should pick a different name.

Monster killing

The monster drop table

Main article: Monster killing

Monster killing is a great way to make money and to obtain most of the important items in the game. The drop table of each monster can be accessed through the red button at the top of the quest tab.

Obtaining useful items

• Dragon weapons and starter gear can be bought in the Combat Supplies store in Edgeville.
• Elite Void Knight equipment and the fighter torso are the best-in-slot Ranged equipment except for Slayer tasks. Void Knight equipment can be bought and upgraded into Elite Void Knight equipment with pest control points. Alternatively, (Elite) Void Knight equipment can also be bought in the donator store. The fighter torso can also be obtained with pest control points or from the PK point shop.
• A fire cape can be obtained by completing the Fight Caves minigame. You can play a game of 10, 20 or 63 waves. Completing a 63 wave game will also grant a random TzHaar weapon, shield or cape or an uncut onyx.
• An amulet of fury can be crafted from an uncut onyx, which can be bought from TzHaar-Hur-Lek for 200,000 tokkul, found near the bank close to the Fight Caves. A fast way to obtain tokkul is to complete 10 waves of Fight Caves multiple times and trading spare fire capes for tokkul at TzHaar-Mej-Jal, found next to the Fight Caves entrance.
• Barrows gloves can be bought from the Culinaromancer's chest to the west of the Edgeville bank after defeating the Culinaromancer and his accompanying bosses. To find these bosses, the player has to use the portal to Culinaromancer's dimension.
• Abyssal whips are dropped by abyssal demons. The fastest way to kill them is by using blood or ice barrage at the abyssal demons in the catacombs. Alternatively, it can be bought from the Vote shop for 1000 vote points.
• Dragon defenders are dropped by cyclopses in the Warriors' guild. Guild tokens are needed to access the cyclopses, which are obtained by using a piece or rune armour (full helm, platebody or platelegs) on the magical animator inside the guild and killing the animated armour. A dragon defender can also be bought from the Vote shop for 300 vote points.
• Barrows equipment is obtained by playing the barrows minigame. Vengeance can be used to speed up kills and it can be more efficient to only kill the brothers whose equipment you are interested in.
