Rune Mysteries

The Rune Mysteries quest is a quest for both free-to-play and pay-to-play RuneScape players.

Objective
This is a simple courier task.

Requirements

 * None

Initiation

 * Speak to Duke Horatio, upstairs in Lumbridge castle, and ask him if he can give you a quest.
 * He will give you an Air Talisman to take to Sedridor in the basement of the Wizard's Tower

Hints

 * While a relatively safe quest, if killed, return to the character who gave you the item, and they may be able to supply another.
 * There are two risky areas that you pass. If you avoid entering them or loitering too close, you should be ok.
 * On the third and final leg, you could take your pick along to mine your first rune essence.

Rewards

 * 1 Quest Point
 * An Air Talisman
 * The ability to mine rune essence, by teleport from Sedridor or Aubury and to begin runecrafting.

Walkthrough

 * Take the Talisman to Sedridor
 * Leave the castle walled area, and skirt it to the north, then follow the dirt track westwards
 * You will see the jail compound to the East of Draynor Village. The guards there are ill-disciplined thugs who attack travellers without provocation, even outside the compound
 * Take the causeway to the south, to reach the Wizard's tower, then go down to the main room area in the basement
 * Sedridor will exchange the talisman for a research package, to be taken to Aubury in Varrock, south of the east bank, and east of the south city entrance.
 * Follow the dirt track back to Lumbridge, then cross the north bridge by the forge (no special reason, but it's closest)
 * Follow the road northwards and take a left turn at the T junction - the sign will tell you.
 * Beware of the Dark Wizards at the stone circle, as their magic attack is devastating against low level players in armour, and you can still be hit as you run.
 * Enter the city, take the second right, go to the end and look north, You should be looking at Aubury's, signified by the map symbol for a rune shop.
 * Aubury will swap the research package for a research notes scroll, to be taken back to Sedridor
 * When you return with this, you can complete the quest.
 * Sedridor will enlighten you in the the mysteries of the runes and return the Air Talisman
