The Hand in the Sand

01A hand in the sandpit

Unlocks Bert's free daily buckets of sand, which is one of the better dailies in the game for anyone who does Crafting or Herblore.

1. 1

   Talk to Bert in the building just east of the Yanille house portal. He has found a severed hand and does not want to lose his job over it.

2. 2

   Take the hand to the captain of the guards in Ye Olde Dragon Inn. He wants a beer first — one costs two coins from the bartender.

02Sandy's rota

1. 1

   Bert works for Sandy's Sand Corp in Brimhaven and gives you his schedule. Get to Brimhaven from Ardougne for 30 coins.

2. 2

   Sandy's office is north-west of the Dead Man's Chest bar. Search it for the original rota and compare — Bert's hours were changed without him noticing.

3. 3

   Tell Bert, who blames the wizards next door and gives you a strange scroll that turned up in his house.

03Truth serum

1. 1

   Take the scroll to Zavistic Rarve at the Wizards' Guild. It is a mind-altering scroll, which explains Bert's memory.

2. 2

   Zavistic sends you to Betty in Port Sarim to have a truth serum made. Bring the vial, redberries, white berries and a lantern lens.

04The confession

1. 1

   Back in Brimhaven, Sandy has a coffee beside him. Distract him with tall stories about giant mutant herrings and pygmy shrews — try every option, none is guaranteed.

2. 2

   While he is looking out of the window, use the serum on his coffee, then activate the magical orb and talk to him. He confesses to bribing a wizard, changing Bert's hours and killing the wizard afterwards.

3. 3

   Give the orb to Zavistic Rarve, then bring him five earth runes and a bucket of sand. He enchants Bert's sandpit to refill itself, which is where your daily sand comes from.
