FORGETTABLE TALE OF A DRUNKEN DWARF QUEST WALKTHROUGH
Go to the North West side of Keldagrim and speak to the commander of the Black Guard, Veldaban. He will tell you the Red Axe left the city and ask you investigate. Offer to help him and he will teleport you to the Drunken dwarf, speak to him. Ask him about the Red Axe and he will say he needs a beer. Go directly south to the bar and buy him a beer. He will say it鈥檚 not the right kind and that you need to grow Kelda Seeds to brew beer.
The Drunken Dwarf gives you one seed, but you will need three more. Get one from a dwarf near the bar in East Keldagrim. He asks for an item, it鈥檚 different for everyone. Get him the item and he will give you a seed. Go south from the bar and talk to the cart conductor. Buy a ticket to White Wolf Mountain for 100gp. Ride the cart to White Wolf Mountain. Talk to Khorvak, the dwarven engineer. He is in the same room as the Dwarven stouts. Ask if you can borrow the seed and he will eventually give it to you. Buy another ticket and ride back to Keldagrim. Go to the bar on the South West side of Keldagrim. Talk to Gauss and he will ask you to toast, buy a beer from the barman, speak to him again, and he will give you the final seed.
Take all four seeds to the Kelda hop farming patch, it is in the palace garden, just west of the trade center in West Keldagrim. Talk to Rind the gardener about planting the seeds. Go to the patch, rake it and then plant the seeds. They do not need water or compost, they grow on their own. If you want you can talk to the farmer again and deliver a letter for him to Elstan for a reward while you wait. Elstan is the gardener at the allotment/flower/herb farm just south of Falador. Return to Rind the gardener and speak to him to collect your reward. You get two Marrentill herb seeds as the reward for delivering the letter.
When your plant has finished growing you will receive a message on your screen. Pick the hops and go to the bar on the East side of Keldagrim. Go upstairs and pick up a pot off of the table. Buy some ale yeast from Blandebir. He puts it in your empty pot. Use your two buckets of water with the fermenting vat. Next use your two barley malts with the vat (make Barley malt by using Barley on a Range). After that, use your Kelda hops with the fermenting vat. Lastly, use your pot of ale yeast with the vat and wait as the brew ferments. When the beer has finished fermenting, you will get a message. Turn the valve and use an empty beer glass with the barrel to get a Kelda stout. Go back and talk to the drunken dwarf with the Kelda stout in your inventory and say you want to know about the Red Axe.
Go and talk to the cart conductor close to the boarded tunnel to the far south of the cart area. Ask him about the boarded tunnel. He will tell you to speak to an influential friend. Talk to the mining company director that you helped in the Giant Dwarf quest and ask him to take the boards off the mine for you.
Go back to the boarded tunnel and click to ride the cart that has its track leading into the tunnel. You will see some Dwarven machinery and a box. Search the box and you will receive a green and a yellow stone. Click to control the dwarven machinery. Ride the train cart and when you arrive search the box to get more pieces. Ride back and control the machinery again. Ride the cart again, search the box and then ride to the beginning again. You will now be on a ledge overhearing a conversation between the Red Axe and an ogre shaman. After the conversation proceed to the cave entrance on the east side of the room. You will see more cart paths. You will come out in a storeroom full of bookshelves and boxes. Search the bookshelves and all of the boxes that have papers stacked on them. You will find three items which you must read on the spot, as they do not appear in your inventory. When you are finished walk through the cave entrance to the east and you will be at more tracks. You will come out into another cavern and discover more of the plot of the Red Axe. You will have a spell cast on you by an ogre shaman and then you will appear back at the cart station.
Go to Veldaban at the Black Guard Headquarters in West Keldagrim and talk to him. You will say you can鈥檛 remember what happened and that you are craving a beer and kebab. Buy the kebab from Kjut in the kebab store just south east of the drunken dwarf鈥檚 house in East Keldagrim and a beer at the bar in East Keldagrim. You must have both the beer and the kebab in your inventory to complete the quest. While standing in the Laughing Miner pub, either drink the beer or eat the kebab. This completes the quest.

83 Mining

——————————————————————————–
Introduction

Mining Rune Ore is perhaps one of the best ways of making money in RuneScape, with an experienced miner being able to bring in 1 million gp in just 3 hours.
This guide will focus on Mining Rune at the Wilderness Rune Mine, as it is the only place in which Free players may mine Rune, and because the other sites are easy enough to mine at anyway.

——————————————————————————–

Recommended Levels

To begin this profitable venture, you will need a few levels to begin with. These are

83+ Mining (Required): Although you need 85 mining to mine Rune, it is possible to do so before. To do this, you will need either a Dwarven stout, which increases your Mining and Smithing Levels by 1, or a mature Dwarven Stout which does so by 2.
It is however strongly recommended that you get 85 mining. This is because it will make things much simpler, as you will not need to take up inventory space by carrying the stouts, they can be hard to buy, and the time that they last is unpredictable.

High Combat Level (Recommended): It is recommended that you have fairly high combat stats, due to the fact that the Rune Rocks are surrounded by level 34 spiders, and due to the fact that they are located in around level 54 Wilderness, you will be able to be attacked by most Revenants; and such you will need to defend yourself.

39+ Prayer (Recommended): It is highly recommended that you have at least 39 prayer so that you may use the prayer protect from magic- although having 43 so that you can use all the protect prayers is preferred.

High Agility (Recommended and members only)- If you are a member, then it is highly recommended that you raise your agility level to at least 30. This will not take to long, and you will most definitely notice the difference. This is because you will be doing a fair amount of running whilst mining rune- be it to the bank, or from Revenants, and you will find the extra energy extremely useful.

Recommended Equipment

You will need the right gear if you want to mine rune successfully. Below are some recommended set ups, but you may add and remove items depending on your budget and levels.

An example of some good equipment. You should change items depending on your levels, and if you are a member or not.

Set up 1- Free to Play

Head- Wizards Hat
Torso- Best d’hide body you can wear
Legs- Best d’hide chaps you can wear
Shield- Anti dragon fire shield
Weapon- Rune Pickaxe
Gloves- Leather Gloves
Amulet- Amulet of defence or Holy Symbol

Set up 2- Members

Head- farseer helm, wizards hat
Torso- Best d’hide body you can wear
Legs- Best d’hide chaps you can wear
Shield- Elemental or Mind Shield
Weapon- Rune Pickaxe
Gloves- Forthity Bracelet
Amulet- Glory Amulet, Amulet of Defence or Holy Symbol

Both of these set ups provide good magic defence, which is what a revenant will usually attack with first, whilst still remaining cheap.

Recommended Inventory

An example of a good inventory.

Around 5 Tuna fish or lobsters: Tuna is recommended, as it is extremely cheap, whilst it still heals a good amount (10hp). Those who are new to rune mining, or with low combat levels may want to take lobsters or swordfish.

3 Cakes: Although they only heal 4hp per bite, in total cake heals 12hp whilst still being cheap. It is recommended that you eat these when not in immediate danger as not to waste money on more expensive fish.

Anti Poison (members): In members worlds, Revenants will often poison you in 50+ Wilderness. There is a chance that you will be teleported here if using Obelisks to travel, and such to prevent an early trip to the bank, it is recommended that you take 1 anti poison potion.

Prayer Potion (members): You will often pray a lot if you encounter Revenants, and such you may save yourself a trip to the altar by carrying 1 prayer potion.

Travel and Location

It is not easy reaching these rare rocks, however with these tricks your journey should be slightly less treacherous.

From Edgeville or Varrock: This is the most dangerous route, and the only one open to free players. You simply walk to the rocks from either Edgville or Varrock.

Skills Necklace (members only): Members may use a Games Necklace to teleport to either Bounty Hunter or Clan Wars. You may then either use teleport obelisks, or walk to the Rune rocks.

Ancient Magiks Spells (members only): several spells from the Ancient Magiks spellbook will teleport you near the Rune rocks; these are-

- Dareeyak teleport;78 magic- The ruins
- Carrallangar teleport; 84 magic- The Graveyard
- Annakarl teleport; 90 magic- The Demonic Ruins
- Ghorrock teleport; 96 magic- The Ice Plateau

Teleport Obelisks (members only): There are several Teleport Obelisks scattered across the Wilderess. If you teleport using one of these, then you will be randomly sent to another. There is one outside bounty hunter, and anther just west of the Rune rocks, meaning that you can reach them easily.

- Green line: Using Teleport Obelisks
- Pink line: Dareeyak teleport
- White line: Carrallangar teleport
- Blue line: Annakarl teleport
- Peach line: Ghorrock teleport
- Black line: from Varrock
- Brown line: from Edgeville

Whilst Mining

Whilst mining, there are several things you should check you have done.

Sound: Make sure that you have the sound effects turned UP. This way you can hear a Revenants magic attack, and such run and use the correct protection prayers straight away.

Auto Attack: You should also have this turned OFF. That way you will not run towards any attacking Revenants.

Run: Have this turned ON, whilst mining, so that you can run from attacking Revenants straight away.

You should also keep an eye on your mini map, and your camera angle low, so that you can see Revenants, and run from them at quickly at possible.

Banking

You should not bank with a full inventory of Rune. This will mean that you cannot run for long, and if you die you will lose a lot of money. You should also make sure that you have some food left.
There are several ways that you can bank your Rune.

Bounty Hunter: This is probably the best way, as it is close by. Members may use Teleport Obelisks, and teleport right outside, whilst free players will have to walk.

Mage Arena (members only): This is the second best method, but is not recommended as you will have to walk around high levelled wilderness, which is a hotspot for Revenants.

- Green line: Using teleport obelisks
- Peach line: Mage arena

Revenants

Throughout this guide, I have mentioned Revenants several times. For those who are not familiar with them, they are dangerous ghosts that replaced Pking. They can hit up to 30 often, and could leave even the most experienced of players dead before they know what’s hit them.
They will usually use there magic attack first, but can use all styles of combat and will change depending on what protection prayer you use.
Such it is advised that you take plenty of food whilst mining, and only items that you are willing to lose.

Grave Stones

Mining Rune is a dangerous past time, and such you will most probably die at some point. When this happens, you will leave behind a gravestone. These last for a few minutes, and if you reach it in time you will receive all of your items back. You can purchase new gravestones from the church in Lumbridge, whilst members may also purchase more once they have finished the drunken dwarf quest.

Tips and Tricks

- The higher your mining level, the faster you will mine Rune.
- Revenants will usually use their Magic attack first; turn your sound up and learn to recognise it so that you may use protect prayers and run straight away.
- If you die, you can still get your items back; but you will need to get to the place that you died at within a few minutes.

World Hopping

As Rune ore takes so long to respawn, it is reccomended that you world hop. It is a good idea to pick around 5 worlds and cycle through them, so that you will be there when the ore spawns.
