How to use this entry

Open the related quest before travelling, then compare its active wording with this role. NPC positions and quest-only interactions can depend on progression. Items should stay in the active character’s inventory until the hand-in updates; do not assume a storage chest or another co-op player’s inventory will satisfy the trigger.

Acquisition and hand-in check

  1. Finish any prerequisite conversation or earlier objective.
  2. Reach the named region, landmark, enemy or crafting station.
  3. Acquire the exact item or speak to the correct NPC.
  4. Watch the quest counter advance before crafting, consuming or moving the object.

Common confusion to avoid

This record applies to Dragonwilds, not similarly named objects or characters in other RuneScape games. It intentionally excludes guessed legacy stats and folklore. When the live tooltip or objective differs after a patch, preserve a screenshot and version number so the page can be updated with evidence.

Editorial limits and next step

This page answers one player task and is not a renamed copy of the parent hub. It does not invent coordinates, drop rates, damage values or hidden prerequisites. If an Early Access patch changes the objective text, use the live quest tracker as the final authority and report the version before applying an older workaround.
