Travel

 * If you have 83 Farming and have grown a spirit tree here, you can use it to teleport here.

Managing your kingdom

 * For a calculator helping you with determining profits from kingdom management, see Calculators/Miscellania with live data from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.



You can choose what resources your subjects obtain for you, but you must have money in the coffers and your popularity must be reasonably high. To adjust what resource your subjects obtain for you, speak to Advisor Ghrim in Miscellania castle. You can also speak to him via the Lunar Magicks spell NPC Contact without having to visit the island.

You gain popularity by "helping" out your subjects in various tasks.
 * Mining coal (~0.5% / coal mined)
 * Cutting maple trees (~0.25% / wood chopped)
 * Weeding herb or flax patches (~0.33% / weed weeded)
 * Fishing tuna and swordfish

Once you have completed the Royal Trouble quest, you can also gather resources on the Etceteria side of the island.
 * Cut teak and mahogany trees
 * Compost, water, and weed a farming patch.

These activities only give you a fraction of a single experience point, so it is not recommended that players use them as a way of getting experience.

Once your popularity is at 100%, your subjects will tell you that you have done enough work. Mining appears to be the fastest way to improve your popularity, but of course, this may depend on your Mining level. If you are just 'topping up' your popularity, cutting maples or weeding are good ways because they are on the route to visiting Ghrim.

Your popularity is reduced if you steal from stalls (-1% per theft) or kill the citizens of the islands (-5% per death). Note that attacking is the default left click for many citizens, so a little care must be taken to avoid attacking them. Since many citizens are very low level, high level players can often kill them in one hit, compounding the problem of accidental clicks. One may wish to wield a bow without arrows, or a snowball while visiting the kingdom to prevent these casualties (you will be unable to attack).

You can find out your popularity level by talking to Advisor Ghrim or various citizens.

Every day, the citizens take 10% of the money in the treasury at a maximum of 75k, (or 50k if you have only completed Throne of Miscellania and not Royal Trouble) and convert it into materials for you to collect. The rewards can be extremely good if you have both high popularity and high amounts of cash in the treasury. For example, with just over half a million invested (around 50k deducted from treasury), a day you might expect to receive 370 coal and 20 herbs if you set mining to maximum and herbs as high as it will go. See image below. All herbs are tarromin or higher, making this a very good return on your investment.

After completing the Royal Trouble quest, there are 15 available workers. There is a maximum of 10 workers on any task. The approval rating in the Kingdom will also only drop 1 percent per day after both quests are complete, while if you have only completed Throne of Miscellania then approval will drop 3% a day. For this reason, it is recommended not to further invest in your coffers until both quests are complete.

Experiments from players seems to suggest that only the money taken from the coffers and the popularity rating is recorded. This means that just before claiming the rewards, players can switch the worker distribution which will then apply to the entire period.



The table below indicates the maximum rewards - 75k deducted from treasury a day, with popularity at 100%, and the selected item at maximum.

If you have completed the Throne of Miscellania quest you may put up to 5 million coins in the treasury. This increases to 7.5 million if you have also completed Royal Trouble.

Stalls
There are fish and vegetable stalls in the courtyards of Miscellania and Etceteria castles which sell a variety of items. You can also steal from these stalls if your thieving level is high enough, you need
 * Level 2 thieving to steal from the vegetable stalls, possible loot is cabbage, garlic, onion, potato, or tomato.
 * Level 42 thieving to steal from the fish stalls, you receive raw salmon, tuna or lobster.

If you are caught stealing from the stores you cannot buy anything from the stalls for 48 hours.

Note that when you steal from the stores your popularity decreases.

Flowers
There is also a flower girl in Miscellania market area who sells coloured flowers for 15 coins each. She only sells the red/blue/yellow flower combination, not any of the other colours.

Patches
There is a bush patch and a spirit tree patch on Etceteria, both used in the Farming skill. There is also a vegetable and flower patch, but this is only used in Kingdom management; players cannot grow crops here.

Miscellania Dungeon
Miscellania & Etceteria Dungeon has various shops and can only be entered half-way through Royal Trouble. Here you can buy various items from various shops.
