Walkthrough[edit | edit source]

Getting started[edit | edit source]

Items recommended: Teleportation methods to Tree Gnome Stronghold and Yanille.

  • Speak to King Shareen in the Grand Tree (Make sure you have two empty slots to start the quest). (The Grand Tree/Quick guide (5) 12) Accept the quest to get a Translation book and a Bark sample.
  • Travel to the island east of Yanille - fairy ring code: CLS. You may also use the minigame teleport for Nightmare Zone or the Fishing Trawler, a Watchtower/Yanille teleport, the Ardougne cloak Monastery teleport and run south-east, the Castle Wars teleport using a ring of dueling then running east. If teleportation is to no avail, another manual option is to Charter a boat in Brimhaven to Port Khazard then run south passing the Fight Arena and head to the east of Yanille where the small island should be located.
  • Talk to Hazelmere, he will take your Bark sample and give you a message.

Glough[edit | edit source]

Karamja[edit | edit source]

  • The glider will crash near the Ship Yard. Run east past the level 53 jogres to the Ship Yard gate.
  • Open the gate and tell the worker Glough sent you, then give the password Ka-Lu-Min. (The Grand Tree/Quick guide (7) 2122)
  • Find the Foreman on the southern dock. Kill him or talk to him to get a Lumber order.
    • If you talk to him, he will ask you some security questions. (The Grand Tree/Quick guide (8) 321)
