If you're diving into Old School RuneScape and looking for Adventurer Jon, you'll find him right at the beginning of your journey, specifically on Tutorial Island. He's the friendly face who guides new players through the initial steps of the game, offering tasks and rewards to get you started.
Adventurer Jon is your go-to NPC for the "Adventure Paths" system. This system is designed to ease players into the game, whether you're completely new or returning after a long break. It's not available for Ironman Mode players, though. Jon offers different paths, most commonly the "Combat Path" and the "Gatherer Path." Sometimes, you might see alternate paths like the "Warrior Path," "Wizard Path," and "Ranger Path" instead of the Combat Path, each with its own set of tasks.
Completing tasks for Adventurer Jon is where the real fun begins. As you progress through these paths, you'll earn rewards directly from him. For instance, finishing tasks in the Gatherer Path might grant you a "Lamp of the Gatherer," which you can rub to get a boost of experience in Woodcutting, Fishing, or Mining. It’s a nice little nudge to help you level up those skills.
Now, the Combat Path is where things get particularly interesting, especially when it comes to the "Combat Path Voucher." After you've tackled the combat-related tasks and earned this voucher from Adventurer Jon, it becomes your ticket to a whole new set of rewards. You'll need to take this voucher to various NPCs located in Varrock. Think of it as a quest log that you can cash in for goodies.
The voucher itself is quite handy. When you read it, it shows you a list of all the items you can still claim from the Varrock NPCs. Once you've claimed the very last reward from a particular NPC, they'll take the voucher back from you, signifying the end of that particular reward track.
What kind of rewards can you expect? Well, it depends on whether you're a free-to-play or a members player. For free players, you can snag things like coins from the Grand Exchange Clerk, iron arrows from Lowe, mind and air runes from Aubury, and energy potions from the Apothecary. Members get access to even more, including a Maple shortbow and more iron arrows from Lowe, chaos runes from Aubury, higher-level energy potions from the Apothecary, a Mithril platebody or studded body from Horvik, and even an Adamant sword from the Varrock Swordshop keeper. It’s a great way to gear up and get a head start on your adventures.
So, while you won't find Adventurer Jon wandering the wilds, he's a crucial figure at the very start of your adventure, and his Combat Path Voucher is a valuable item to pursue for those early-game boosts.
