As A First Resort Quest Guide

To begin with the quest, you must travel to the center of the Oo’glog city and directly south of Yanille to find Chief Tess. Talk to her, and she will explain she can’t open her business unless the “Bossy Lady” at the bank of Oo’glog allows her to do so. After this short conversation, offer her your help, and the Chief will tell you to speak with Balnea, the “Human Lady” located in the ogre village’s bank. During the start of As a First Resort RS3, you will discover Balnea promised the ogres ‘shiny pretties’ in exchange for letting her establish her spa in the city.

Once you find the bank, enter and talk to Balnea. You will go through an extended dialogue with her, which is filled with business talk before she asks you to help turn Oo’glog into a spa. Agree to help, and she will send you to help the village’s Chief set up a spit and cooking fire.

What Do You Need?

Head to the ogre cook, Chargurr, north of the bank and speak with her. She will tell you she needs to make a big fire that requires several logs to cook chompy food. You must agree to help her and give her 8 Achey Logs and 10 Eucalyptus Logs. This has to be done in one go, so you must have 18 free spaces in your inventory to carry all the logs.

Once you have the logs, you must lay them in the pit to set up an Unlit Stove. Speak with Chargurr one more time, and she will ask you to find big, long spears to cook chompies on. You have to give her four spears to use as spits. To do so in this section of As a First Resort RS3, you must talk to Chargurr again and tell her you would like to give her the four spears. You will hang them in the trees, over the logs. Return and talk to Chargurr, who will ask you for 2 Chompy Birds this time. Find the Raw Chompy Birds and stick them on the Spears.

You must talk with Chargurr again. She will request that you light the fire; do so and inform her that everything is ready to complete this first task and set up catering services for the Resort.

Raw Meat Pillows in As a First Resort RS3

Return to the bank and speak with Balnea. She will ask you to help Snurgh, the hotel manager. She’s in the building on the southeast corner of the village She will inform you that the pillows in the hotel are made with Raw Meat, the softest thing she could find. Explain to her that Feathers would work better than meat, and she will agree and ask you if you can get her some Stripy Feathers. You must give her 8 Stripy Feather from Tropical Wagtails. Give them to her so she can make the pillows and return to Balnea to continue with the quest.

Hair Salon

You will have another conversation with Balnea, and she will assign you to help Kringk in the hair salon. The salon is east of the bank, and once you are there, Kringk will ask how she can do hair without tools. Tell her you can help with that and fetch her 4 Wolf Bones and 8 Larupia Furs. Once you have the items, talk to her again and give them the 4 “Wolsie Bone” and the 8 “Lup-Lup Furses” to complete this section.

Flying Bugs

Head to the bank for the fourth time and speak with Balnea. This time, she will ask you to help Seegud, who is in the hut (northeast of the bank). Once there, talk to Seegud, and she will tell you she needs to eliminate the Flying Bugs from the five Spa Pools. You must light fires in the fire pits next to each pool to do so. For each bug, you must use Eucalyptus Logs and a specific plant to keep the swarms away. You will see Seegud stones next to each fire pit to help her remember what to burn. Although each combination is different for each player, you can use this list as a reference to complete this section of As a First Resort RS3 quest:

• Long Brown: Eucalyptus Log
• Green Lump-Shaped: Fever Grass
• Red Round: Primweed
• Yellow Egg-Shaped: Tansymum
• Orange Squarish: Stinkbloom
• Purple Tall: Lavender

Head outside Oo’glog to collect the plants and then combine each with the Eucalyptus Logs to light the fire. The first location you must go to is northwest of Seegud and examine the pile of stones between the Saltwater Spring and the fire pit. A message will appear in your chat section describing which type of stones they are. Once you know this information, place the logs with the right plants and light the fire pit. After you do so, you will notice the bugs are still flying over the pool, and you will hear a mischievous ogre child laughing.

With your failed attempt to kill the bugs, return to Seegud and speak with her. She will tell you that the ogre child must have mixed up the stones, so you now need to discover which plants the mixed-up stones represent to continue with this task of RS3 As a First Resort quest.

Run west of Seegud, and by the saltwater spring, you will find an ogre child called Snarrl. She recommends you start with a thermal bath, so you must go to the north of Seegud to see it. In this section of As a First Resort, you must discover the relationship between the stones and the plants, which will be done through elimination. Once you know which stone represents each plant, make a note of the match so you won’t need to go through the whole process since you can’t check what plant you used after you lit the fire. Each combination you will do requires two plants and one Eucalyptus Log, except for the Bandos Pool.

You must examine the pile of stones next to each pool, and place the logs with one of the plants in the fire pit, then light them. If you see the following message, “The fire has pungent aroma, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the insect”, it means it’s not the correct combination. So, place another log, use a different plant and try again. Remember, you must use a new log each time you intend to light the fire pit. Once you have the right combination, you will see this message: “The pungent smell makes the insects disperse”.

You can follow this route to complete and light all the fire pits in order for As a First Resort RS3.

• Start right off the Thermal Bath north of Seegud (the green bath). You will see long brownstones that refer to Eucalyptus logs, so place one and figure out which plant will disperse the insects.
• Move to the east to the Mud Bath as your second location and find the right plant which will disperse the insects.
• Your next move is to the Saltwater Spring, west of the Thermal Bath. Here, you will need to use the second plant you used in the Mud Bath and find the correct plant.
• Head to the Sulphur Spring, where you will find the next pile of stone. There, you need to place the second plant used in the Mud Bath and find the other one to light the fire.
• Finally, head to the west, directly to the Bandos Pool, and use three different plants plus the Eucalyptus Log. Once you find the right combination, move to the next stage of RS3 As a First Resort.
• If you need some help, talk to the ogre child (other than the one who laughed at you) to not mess up the patterns.

Once you have dispersed all the bugs, talk to Seegud, then return to the bank and meet Balnea again. You must keep the herbs after completing this section because you will need them in your next task.

Creatures in As a First Resort RS3

When you talk with Balnea again, she will tell you about the “one last outstanding matter”. She will ask you to trap creatures who are wandering around the village. Moreover, she will mention it won’t be an easy task and recommends you talk to Chief Tess to learn how to catch these creatures. Run toward Chief Tess and speak to her. She will explain to you that the animals in the area are clever, and you need to be sneaky to capture them. Likewise, she will mention you must burn “stuffs” to lure the animals to the traps.

Kebbits

In this phase, you will need to catch the Diseased Kebbits. To do so, you must set a Deadfall Trap on the boulders to the east and west of the Saltwater Spring. There are 4 Diseased Kebbits to catch, so you must catch two in every trap.

Inside the trap, you must bait with Fever Grass. You must light another Fever Grass and run around to lure a Kebbit to the trap. We recommend you walk instead of running to avoid any problems with attracting the Kebbits. The Fever Grass you lit will last only 30 seconds, so we also recommend you have a few in your inventory before starting this task. You must use the main hand weapon slot for the smoldering grass, so make sure to account for that.

Beware, since the Diseased Kebbits will turn aggressive if you burn Tansymum Flowers nearby them. Moreover, you must set one trap at a time because an ogre child will tell you, "Hey, you, human! You no allowed to clutter up Oo'glog wiv traps. You only set one at a time here."

Wimpy Birds

For these creatures, you will need to set a Bird Snare west of the bank. Here, you must light a Tansymun Flower and run around to attract the birds to your trap. You will need to catch 5 of these Wimpy Birds. During this stage, you must be careful since if you burn Fever Grass, you will repel the birds, and if you burn Lavender, they will peck you.

The final bird can be challenging to catch and may refuse to follow you and unrelated Wimpy Birds may appear in the Bird Snare. If you find this problem, return and ask Chief Tess how to catch Wimpy Birds, and make sure you go through the dialogue and finish with this sentence: "Nothing else to ask." option instead of walking away.

Platypodes in As a First Resort RS3

For these animals, you will need to lay a Box Trap and burn Lavender near Sulphur Sring and west of Chief Tess. Beware of the spurs of these Platypodes because they are poisonous. Don’t try to burn Fever Grass; if you do so, they will attack you with their “webbed feet of doom.”

Once you catch one Platypus, you must check the shaking box to put the animal in your inventory. You must catch a whole family (Patrick, Peanut, Penelope and Peter), head to the northeast corner of the village, and by the coast still in Oo’glog, release the platypodes near the bulrushes. You will find this location easily by seeing the Baby Platypus on the mini map. For every Platypus you release, you will obtain a Casket or an Oyster.

Grand Opening

After you catch all the animals in As a First Resort RS3, it’s time to return to Balnea for the last time, and after you dismiss any active follower, you will trigger a cutscene of the grand opening of the spa. Moreover, the Wise Old Man will be taking water there. This will mark the end of the quest!

Vessel of the Harbinger Requirements RS3

Before you start your adventure, you must know some details about RS3 Vessel of the Harbinger; first, this is a Member only quest with an estimated medium length, so you must expect to spend about 20 to 30 minutes going through this quest.

RS3 Vessel of the Harbinger Guide

To begin Vessel Of The Harbinger head to the City of Um, find Death, and ask him about Rasial. He will tell you that necromancers often create their own Vessels, the likes of which you've already encountered. Death will mention that Necrovarus was Rasial’s apprentice, and he can teach you more about Rasial's plans.

The Request Of Necrovarus

After your dialogue with Death, head to the Ectofuntus and speak to Necrovarus. The fastest way to get there is to use the Ectophial. At this point, you must equip your Ghostspeak Amulet unless you’ve completed the Hard Morytania Achievements. After your short conversation with Necrovarus, he will agree to help you but will ask you for a favor in return. 

Necrovarus will tell you the Ectofuntus has become stronger over time, and the Tortured Souls outside are preventing it from reaching its full potential. He’ll ask you to defeat the five Tortured Souls using Necromancy, and then he will give you a Soul Urn to collect their souls. Thankfully, only just over half of the damage dealt to the Tortured Souls needs to be from Necromancy in order for the souls to count toward the task. So, you can make use of some other combat methods to speed up the process, just keep an eye on the damage you deal to ensure your efforts are for nothing. As long as 1,500 damage comes from Necromancy attacks, you can switch to other weapons for the kill, and it will still count towards the quest objective. 

Once you defeat the Tortured Souls and fill the Soul Urn, the next step in Vessel of the Harbinger in RS3 is to worship the Ectofuntus with a Bucket of Slime and a full Soul Urn in the backpack. With this, you will earn 100 Necromancy XP. If you didn’t obtain the Bucket of Slime, you must head to the Pool of Slime in the basement and get some. Once you do this, return to Necrovarus and talk to him. He will tell you to perform a ritual to empower the Well of Souls, but sadly, he forgot how to do it. Instead, Necrovarus will tell you the information needed is in the Book of Haricanto, and you must ask Netty to get it back. 

The Book Of Haricanto

After this conversation, head to Netty’s house. You will find it east of the Slayer Tower; using a Ring of Slaying or Dungeoneering Cape is the fastest way to get there. If you can’t use either of these items, you can teleport to the Canifis lodestone and then run northwest until you reach the Lustrous Wisp colony. You will immediately know Netty is not around, but you will find a pile of letters on the floor. Inspect the letters, and quickly, you will realize you need to visit Velorina in Port Phasmatys. 

To continue with Vessel of the Harbinger in RS3, return to the Ectofuntus using your preferred teleport method and head south, passing the energy barrier to Port Phasmatys. Run northeast to find her in the northernmost house. Talk to Velorina; she will inform you that Netty died some time ago when she was gathering some nettles for her tea. You must head to the City of Um and then go to The Last Call Pub. There, you will find Netty’s ghost standing in the northeastern corner of the place. Speak with her, and after a quick catch-up, you will tell Netty you need the Book of Haricanto. She will tell you it is inside a chest in her house, and she will give you her Death Certificate and Will; with this, you can claim her key from the Bank of Port Phasmatys. 

Note: If you have the Ghostspeak ability, or the Ghostspeak amulet equipped, Netty will tell you that it is unnecessary to do so; despite her being a ghost.. 

Your next step in RS3 Vessel of the Harbinger is to go to the bank in Port Phasmatys and talk with the Ghost Banker to obtain Netty’s key. To do so, use Netty’s Death Certificate and Will on the banker, it will deposit the key into your bank, and you don’t have to go through all the dialogue with the Ghost Banker. 

With Netty’s key with you, return to her house and open the Locked Chest. You will see how Netty’s Skeleton appears, and you must fight it before you can get the book. Her skeleton is immune to any type of damage, and you can’t defeat it using regular methods. Instead, you must cast Conjure Skeleton Warrior, which requires a Conduit and one Ectoplasm near the skeleton. This will cause it to collapse due to its poor self-esteem. Once you complete this task in the Vessel of the Harbinger RS3 quest, you will be able to open the chest and find the Book of Haricanto. 

Empower The Vessel

With the book in your inventory, return to the Ectofuntus and speak to Necrovarus. He will tell you to get the Bucket of Power Slime from the Ectofuntus; to do so, just use a Bucket on the Ectofuntus to obtain it. Head to the City of Um to perform the Empower Vessel Ritual. This ritual requires the following items: 

• 2 Elemental I glyphs
• 1 Charge I glyph
• 1 Commune I glyph
• 4 Ritual Light Sources
• 1 Bucket of Powerful Slime
• 11 Basic Ghostly Ink
• 2 regular Ghostly Ink
• 4 Basic Ritual Candles or better

Once you have everything, complete the ritual. This will trigger a cutscene where you can see Rasial, the First Necromancer, appear and send Necrovarus away. If the cutscene doesn’t play, return and talk to Necrovarus. When the cutscene ends, head back to Death to finish the Vessel of the Harbinger in RS3.

In today's article, we will cover the Rune Mythos quest in RS3, and everything that goes with it. So, let's break it down! 

RS3 Requirements Rune Mythos

Before you begin your adventure through the City of Um and its mysteries, you must know this is a Members-only quest. It is short to medium in length, so you can expect to spend around 10 to 20 minutes navigating through Rune Mythos RS3. Apart from that, the requirements for this quest are simple and uncomplicated; here’s what you need to go through all the endeavors: 

• 24 Necromancy 
• Resources for the Lesser Essence Ritual
• 200 Noted Pure Essence 
• 8 Basic Ghostly Ink 
• 4 Regular Ghostly Ink 

Thankfully, this quest has no enemies for you to face, meaning you can go through this journey without worrying about any sort of showdown. 

Rune Mythos RS3 Guide

To begin with Rune Mythos RS3, you must head to the Ritual Site in the City of Um. Next to the Ritual site, you will see Malignius Mortifer. You'll need to speak with him to get the quest going, but before that, ensure you have an empty inventory. There are several chat options that you can cycle through if you wish to learn about Necromantic Runes or Incantations, but the one to get the quest going will be 'I'm good, what's next?' You don't have to worry about the other options; they won't affect your quest journey either way, but they are there if you wish to grow your knowledge. 

 Once you've selected the correct dialogue to get the quest started, Malignius will give you everything you need for the Lesser Essence Ritual: 

• 200 Noted Pure Essence 
• 8 Basic Ghostly Ink 
• 4 Regular Ghostly Ink 
• 4 Basic Ritual Candles. 

If you have some items, he will give you only the ones you missed. It is vital that you do not drop or lose the materials he provides you, as he will not replace them. Once you have all the items in your inventory, it’s time to head to the Pedestal in the Ritual Site; here, you must click the center and select the Lesser Essence Ritual. Performing this ritual will require cleaning any remains from previous Glyphs to make space for your ritual. 

To complete this ritual, you must create 2 Elemental I Glyphs that will cost you 3 Basic Ghostly Ink each, and 2 Change I Glyphs that cost you 2 Basic Ghostly Ink and 1 Regular Ghostly Ink each. You must place the candles to create the sources of light required for the ritual. Once everything is ready, stand on the platform and perform the ritual. This ritual will consume the Pure Essence Malignius gave you. 

After completing the ritual, head to the Ritual Chest close to Malignius, take as much Impure Essence as you can carry in your inventory, and then bank all the other items. Head to the northeastern area of the City of Um, and you must go through the Dark Portal. Before entering the portal, you must ensure you have at least one Unnoted Impure Essence. 

To continue your journey in Rune Mythos quest, you must attempt to craft some Spirits Runes, but before you are able, Rasial, The First Necromancer, will tell you to stop “playing with things you aren’t ready for.” Moreover, he won’t let you craft the runes until you speak to him. You must go through all the conversations and dialogue with Rasial until he finishes and disappears. Once he’s gone, craft the runes and return to Malignius Mortifer to receive your rewards.

Today, we’ll open the gates for the Necromancy! quest in RS3, an adventure that will introduce you to the Necromancy skill and show you the City of Um for the first time. You will befriend the undead, and at the end, you will rise with the title of Gielinor’s very first Necromancer. This quest will act not only as a tutorial to the skill but also is a key aspect in the quest series, so let’s begin!

Necromancy! Quest Requirements RS3

Before jumping into the RS3 Necromancy quest, you must know this is a Free-to-play quest, which means all players will have access to all the features. It’s a short-length quest, and you should be able to complete it in around 15 to 20 minutes. Thankfully, the only requirement for the Necromancy! quest is the ability to defeat 1 level 3 Ghost Troll Brute and 1 level 3 Ghost Troll Lout. Anything outside that, isn’t a necessity. 

Necromancy! Quest Guide RS3

To begin with, the Necromancy! quest, you must first head to the Draynor lodestone, then run north until you find the Underworld Portal and interact with it. Instantly, you will see a floating sword that appears from the portal and will kill you upon Rasial, the First Necromancer’s command. Don’t worry; this is part of the quest and it’s a safe death, so you won’t lose your items. 

Life After Death

Once you’re dead, you will arrive at Death’s Office, where you will meet Death, who mentions he didn’t expect you to die and then arrive at his office in this way. Talking with Death, you will explain to him that you were investigating the white portal near Draynor, and you got struck by a floating sword made out of black metal. You will also tell him the sword had glowing green runes carved into the blade. Death will reply, telling you the runes say “anguish” and will also give you instructions on how to travel with him to the Underworld. 

After you complete your conversation with the Death, but before you can continue with RS3 Necromancy! quest, a cutscene will trigger to explain that you have been chosen to be Rasial’s next apprentice. You will arrive in the City of Um, and Rasial will greet you upon your arrival and explain his plan to you. He wants to wage war against the mortal world using souls he previously collected. Rasial will explain to you that the dead will outnumber the living soon. He will insist you must learn Necromancy if you want to defeat him and stop his plan. Death won’t have other options to help you with your task. 

Rasial will leave, and you will see Lupe and Sostratus appear from the bridge to the city. They are the only two survivors following Rasial draining the Well of Souls. Lupe, Sostratus, and Death conclude that Rasial conducted a communion ritual using his own soul vessel to move the souls to it. Right after the confirmation, Death will summon Malignus Mortifer, your new guide that will help you learn Necromancy, and he will even teach you how to conduct your own ritual to bring souls back to the City of Um. 

The Communion Ritual

The next step in your adventure in the Necromancy! quest in RS3 is to follow Malignius Mortifer. He will instruct you to clear away all the nearby Mounds of Dust on the floor; you must interact with them by getting close, clearing four Mounds of Dust in total. You will find one of the mounds located on each side of the ritual site; their location is shown as waypoint arrows should you be confused. 

Malignius Mortifer will explain to you how the communion ritual works. First, you must place a focus item on the center pedestal to determine which ritual you will conduct. After doing so, you must draw the required glyphs in the nearby glyph spots. Malignius will also give you some Grubby Bones, which you will use as a focus item. You must get close to the pedestal and select “Place focus”, then select the Makeshift Communion Ritual. 

After doing this, you will receive some Basic Ritual Candles, which you have to place on the four pentagon-shaped light source spots surrounding the ritual site. Moreover, you will receive Basic Ghostly Ink, which you must use to draw the required glyphs. Fortunately, you can place the glyphs in any glyph spots, but make sure you use the correct number and type for the ritual. To place the glyphs, you must interact with the spots and draw the Commune I glyph; you must repeat this process on every glyph spot. 

Before you complete the glyphs in RS3 Necromancy! quest, you will notice Malignius will tell you there’s a glyph left from the last ritual that took place at the site. You must clean it up before drawing your glyph and conducting your ritual. He will give you more Basic Ghostly Ink, and you must interact with the broken Elemental I tile to repair it using the three inks you have. 

Once you complete all the preparation steps, you will be ready to begin with the ritual. You must select “Start ritual” on the platform you see nearby, and the chanting will begin. When the ritual is complete, you will gain Necromancy experience, and Malignius will tell you he didn’t expect you to get everything right on the first attempt. 

Ted & the Well of Souls 

After you complete your ritual, it will summon Ted. He will command you to interact with the Well of Souls, which will open an interface that displays the Talent Tree. You must click on Conjure Skeleton Warrior at the bottom; you will also see that it requires a talent point to unlock it. Ted will explain that you must fill the vessel until you gain more power and earn a talent point by proving your worth. To earn the talent point in the Necromancy! quest in RS3 you must gain Combat experience by using Necromancy.

With the help of Sostratus, you will get a Death Guard with the ability to channel necrotic energy into powerful attacks. You must equip the Death Guard and attack a nearby Ghost Troll Brute and Ghost Troll Lout. You must keep using Necromancy attacks on them (you can use auto attacks) until you unlock more abilities. Furthermore, you have a slight chance to critically strike an enemy during your attacks.

After you kill the Trolls, you will have enough Necromancy abilities to gain a talent point. You must then interact with the Well of Souls and you will be able to unlock the Conjure Skeleton Warrior talent. 

It’s time to conjure a spirit, but you have to use a Conduit and Ectoplasm. At this point of the Necromancy! quest in RS3, Sostratus will give you a Skull Lantern for your future conjurations. If you want to obtain Ectoplasm, you can perform rituals or talk with the group to receive 25. There you have it, you just successfully completed your indoctrination into the Necromancy skill, and completed your first quest in the underworld!
