About this quest

Starting out: Talk to the Odd Old Man in Silvarea north-east of Varrock, by the Limestone Mine.

There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.

Walkthrough

01The Odd Old Man

Eight bones from eight different monsters, each a guaranteed drop. The quest is a shopping trip around the early map.

  1. 1

    Talk to the Odd Old Man by his house north-west of the Silvarea mining site, north-east of Varrock, and agree to help.

    • Tinderbox

02The eight bones

  1. 1

    Giant rat bone — giant rats south-east of Varrock by the mine, in the Varrock Sewers or in Lumbridge Swamp.

  2. 2

    Unicorn bone and bear ribs — both in the forest south-east of Varrock, which makes that one trip rather than two.

  3. 3

    Ram skull — the sheep pen south of Varrock or Fred the Farmer's pen north of Lumbridge. Goblin skull — goblins east or west of Lumbridge.

  4. 4

    Big frog leg — big frogs in Lumbridge Swamp, either the level 10 or the level 24. Monkey paw — monkeys east of the Karamja Volcano.

  5. 5

    Giant bat wing — giant bats in the Karamja Dungeon, below the Heroes' Guild or in the Yanille dungeon.

  6. 6

    If you have ensouled heads and the Arceuus spellbook, reanimating them near the Dark Altar works instead of hunting the monsters.

03Vinegar and boiling

  1. 1

    Talk to Fortunato in the Draynor Village marketplace and mention the Odd Old Man sent you, then buy eight jugs of vinegar.

  2. 2

    Use the vinegar on your pots to make eight pots of vinegar, then use each bone on a pot.

  3. 3

    Back at the Odd Old Man, use a log on the pot-boiler, then a bone in vinegar, then light it with a tinderbox. Each pot takes twelve seconds.

    Never click Empty on a bone in vinegar. The bone is destroyed and you will be going back out for another one.
