Observatory Quest

Getting Started
Items required: None. Firstly, speak with the Observatory Professor, located in the Reception Room of the Observatory (near the Observatory Town). Ask if you can look through the telescope, and he says that it's broken. He tells you that a family of Goblins has tampered with the telescope, so ask if you can help. He says that he needs some wood for the tripod, bronze for the tube, and glass for a new Lens.

Note: Make sure to talk to the professor 3 times and give him the molten glass, bronze bar, and 3 planks before attempting to inspect the stove, otherwise you will have to lure or kill the guard again for the key.

Fixing the Telescope
Items required: 3 regular planks, a bronze bar, molten glass, combat gear, and an antipoison (optional but recommended).

You can find the 3 planks needed to fix the telescope just north of the Barbarian Outpost, which is to the far north of Ardougne, or in Port Khazard, if you don't already have them with you. A bronze bar can be smithed by anyone, or you can buy one. A piece of molten glass can be made by using your Crafting skill. Once you have these 3 items, bring them back to the Professor who will take them from you. He then says that he needs a mould so that he can make a new lens.

If you don't have antipoison potions, you can pick up one super antipoison at the spawn in the south-east building. Now go down the stairs to the east of the Reception Room to find the Observatory Dungeon (the room with the stairs is directly east of the start point). Once down the stairs, you must find the Goblin kitchen key, which is commonly found in the second chest south east of the stairs, although it can vary from person to person.

Now that you've got the key, head all the way back to the Kitchen Gate that you may have passed (a bit west of the ladder), and "Prod" the Sleeping guard. He will wake up and attack you. You can either defeat him or get him stuck behind a wall.

Note: Getting him stuck behind a wall will allow you to go through the door. However, if you pass the goblin again, you will be attacked. Also, another goblin will spawn asleep. You can fight multiple goblins. Open the kitchen gate (you will use the key and discard it), and then inspect the goblin stove. You determine the goblins are cooking something foul in the lens mould. Dump out the stew and bring this back to the Professor, who now says that he doesn't have a high enough Crafting level to make the lens for the telescope. He gives you the molten glass and the mould back, so just use the molten glass with the lens mould to craft him a new lens. Give it back to him, and he wants you to visit him in the Observatory.

The Observatory
Items required: None. Climb back down the stairs into the maze. Now, instead of taking the southeast path, follow the northwest passage (past the kitchen) to find some stairs leading to the Observatory. A cutscene will play. After the cutscene ends, go up the stairs and talk to the professor, and then "View" the telescope to see a constellation.

After closing the window the Professor should ask you which constellation you saw. The constellations are on wall charts in the main level of the Observatory. Identify your constellation, talk to the professor again, and you should get your reward in your backpack!

Reward

 * 2 Quest Points
 * 2,250 Crafting Experience
 * 875 experience in attack, defence, hitpoints, or strength (random)

Maple Longbow, Weapon poison, 3 law runes, Amulet of defence, Black 2 handed sword, Super Strength potion, 25 Water runes, 3 cooked tunas, uncut sapphire.


 * The Spirit of Scorpius will now give you a mould to make Unholy Symbols, and he will bless them for you too. He can be found in the graveyard north of the Observatory.
 * Talk to the Observatory assistant after the quest and he will reward you with a Jug of wine as well as tell you his and the professor's real name.
