Ghosts Ahoy/Quick guide

Walkthrough

 * Important advice:


 * Make sure you have all required quest items in your bank before leaving for morytania.
 * You may need more than one nettle and bowl of water, as nettle tea will often boil over in the making.
 * Always right-click when dealing with nettle tea so you don't accidentally drink it.

Beginning the quest
Items required: Ghostspeak amulet, ecto-tokens or buckets pots and bones to get them.
 * Pray at the Ectofuntus 7 or more times to get enough ecto-tokens for the quest.
 * Talk to Velorina in the house just east of the gates to begin the quest.
 * Talk to Necrovarus back at the Ectofuntus, he'll tell you to buzz off.
 * Talk to Velorina again.

The old crone and nettle tea
Items required: a Bucket of milk and Nettle tea or items to make it: A tinderbox, logs, gloves (must be closed-fingered), and a bowl of water.
 * A few steps east of Mazchna in Canifis is a patch of nettles. Wear your gloves and pick some.
 * Head north-west to the Old crone's house by the water, out to the east side of the Slayer Tower.
 * Talk to the Old crone, and she'll ask for some nettle tea. Make a bowl of tea and give it to her.
 * The crone will want the tea in her special cup. Put the tea in her cup and try again.
 * The crone will then want her tea with milk. Add your bucket of milk to the tea and try again.
 * Finally she will be happy. She'll tell you of an enchantment for your ghostspeak amulet needing three items: Book of haricanto, the robes of Necrovarus and a translation manual.
 * Ask if there's anything you can do for her since she's been so helpful to you. She'll tell you about her long lost son and give you a model ship.

The book of haricanto
Items required: Ghostspeak amulet, Model ship, silk, a needle, thread, a knife, three of each primary coloured dye, a spade, ecto-tokens, and Food/Combat gear to defeat a Giant Lobster (level 32)
 * Bank in Canifis if needed and repair the model ship.
 * Head to the wrecked ship on the coast north-west of the Ectofuntus (see map).
 * Climb up a ladder to the ship deck. Then, climb another ladder to get to the ship quarterdeck.
 * Wait for the wind speed to die down a bit, and search the mast to find out what colours the flag is.
 * Dye the model ship's flag the right colours, mixing dyes as needed.
 * Head down one level to the ship deck, and ask the Old man if the model ship is his, he'll give you a chest key.
 * Use the key on the closed chest inside the captain's quarters to receive the first map scrap.
 * Proceed to the north-west side of deck where there is a gangplank you can walk out onto some rocks.
 * Jump along the path of rocks. When you get to the end, there will be another chest with the second map scrap.
 * Climb down to the lowest level of the ship and get ready to fight. Search the chests until you are attacked by a giant lobster (level 32). Kill it, then search the chest it came out of to get the final map scrap.
 * Fit all the map pieces together to get a completed treasure map. It marks where to find treasure on Dragontooth Island.
 * Important: Make sure you have a spade and treasure map in your inventory, or you will not be able to complete the next part and will waste your 25 ecto-tokens.


 * Head back to Port Phasmatys again, and go north-east onto the dock. Take the small rowing boat to Dragontooth Island
 * Once there, use the map to find the treasure. Dig with your spade, and you will find the Book of haricanto.

The translation manual
Items Required: Around 400 coins and an oak longbow.
 * Head back to the port and bank. From the bank, take about 400 coins and the oak longbow.
 * Talk to Ak-Haranu, a human wandering around the docks east of the inn. He'll tell you he has the manual, but in trade for it, he wants Robin's signature on an oak longbow.
 * Walk to the inn and talk to Robin. He'll challenge you to a game of Runedraw. Beat him at it a few times until he owes you 100 coins (the objective of the game is to get as many points as possible, awarded when you draw a rune, before drawing a death rune, which results in an automatic loss; if Robin draws a death rune before you, you win). He will give you his signature to repay the debt. Take it back to the trader, and he'll give you the manual you need.

The robes
Items required: Bucket of slime (can be purchased during quest)
 * Go to the innkeeper and ask him if he has any jobs for you, and he will give you a bedsheet that he wants you to take to Robin. Rather than doing that, just take it with you. You will be using it to disguise yourself as a ghost!
 * Ghosts do not look like bedsheets, so to make it passable you need to colour it with Ectofuntus slime. A fast way to get some slime is by trading one of the trader crewmembers on the east docks and buying a bucket of slime to dip the bedsheet in. The more time consuming way is to go to the Ectofuntus, and walk down to the slime pool you fill your buckets with, and dip the sheet into it. Now, when you go back to town, talk to Gravingas, the ghost activist protesting just inside the town's gate. Talk to him, and he'll give you a petition to collect signatures for. Put your sheet on because the ghosts are rather distrustful of humans and gather 10 signatures from them. As long as you don't talk to the same person twice in a row, you can ask the same two or three ghosts for all 10 signatures. Don't worry if they ask for ecto-tokens. Just ask someone else if you don't want to pay.
 * With all 10 signatures, talk to Gravingas, who will ask you to go back to Necrovarus and show him the petition. He'll get so angry over the dissension that he'll drop a key. Swipe it, and head upstairs, and use the key on the locked door to get into his room. Open and search the coffin to find his robes.

Using the spell
Items required: Mystical robes, Book of haricanto, translation manual, and a Ghostspeak amulet.
 * Return to the old crone with the robes, book, manual, and Ghostspeak amulet in your possession. Give all this to her, and she'll cast the spell on your amulet. Now walk back to the Ectofuntus to speak with Necrovarus.
 * Talk to Necrovarus, and command him to release all the ghosts he's holding. Feel free to have him tell you the joke first or do the chicken impersonation; it won't deplete the ghost amulet's charge. Just keep going through the rest of the conversation until the very end.
 * Enter Port Phasmatys one last time. and talk to Velorina to tell her the good news.
