After the fourth enchantment of earth, it becomes a lunar staff that you are unable to equip until you are able to wear clothes of the Link to Moon Clan Moon Clan. Worse yet, the Oneiromancer will temporarily take it from you until later on. (If using Link to fairy rings fairy rings to transport yourself, bring one regular dramen staff with you to use for fairy rings.

If you want to understand rather than just complete this task, every sequence is different and you won't find a guide for everything. If you really want to do it yourself in sequences such as 0,1 .. 3, 4, the number 2 was left out, which means between the next pair 5 will be left out, so the next pair will be 6,7. All of the sequences are like this.

Just chop more logs than your opponent, the Chat head image of Ethereal Perceptive, File:Ethereal Perceptive chathead Ethereal Perceptive. The goal is to be the first one to stack 20 logs in the center on the "Deposit Log pile". (If you're limited on inventory spaces, just chop a few at a time and then stack them and continue cutting, but note that once you have deposited 20 logs that you will be unable to pick up your items!) He supplies a Item image of %7B%7B%3Abronze+axe%7D%7D, File:bronze axe bronze axe if you don't have an axe of your own. This is one of the easier challenges.

Dream puffs

Hopping around the dreamy puffs.

4. Where am I? (white northwestern platform) - This challenge tests your memory. Speak to the Chat head image of Ethereal Guide, File:Ethereal Guide chathead Ethereal Guide, and you will discover this challenge is similar to the spike pits in the Link to Underground Pass (dungeon) Underground Pass, you have to jump between platforms hoping not to find the false platforms that will collapse and return you to the start. You take no damage from falling. The path is different for everyone.

Lunar Diplomacy race

Jumping the hurdles.

5.The race is on! (yellow eastern platform) - A simple Skill icon of Agility, File:Agility icon Agility test. Beat the Chat head image of Ethereal Expert, File:Ethereal Expert chathead other guy to the end of the passage by jumping four hurdles whilst he walks a straight path. This is fairly easy though an Agility potion(1) Agility potion and a small amount of food might help because failing a hurdle will cost you 8 Skill icon of Hitpoints, File:Hitpoints icon Hitpoints.

Anythingyoucando

Mimicking the Mimic.

6. Anything you can do... (green southeastern platform) - A mime-copying game, very similar to the Link to mime mime Link to Random events random event. Simply copy the emotes the Chat head image of Ethereal Mimic, File:Ethereal Mimic chathead Ethereal Mimic uses. After each emote, the mime will nod if you are correct or shake no — don't copy this yes or no emote!

The fight[]

Fighting Me

Fighting Me.

Note: If the fight doesnt start after the white screen, you will need to try again for a few times (up to 10-15?), it will eventually let you in. Also, try dropping your axe and then talking to the guide, or dropping your axe and picking it up again before talking to the guide.

Once you've completed all the challenges, talk to the guide in the centre, and he will ask if you are ready to face the ultimate challenge. Say that you are, and you get to face "Me Me", a level 79 opponent who's pretty easy and is geared to your Link to stats stats. You will occasionally be teleported around this arena, but this is more annoying than dangerous. The chats are quite amusing from "Me", so listen out!

Once you have defeated "Me", talk to the guide at the centre of the Link to Dream World Dream World, then exit via the lectern, and go and talk to the Chat head image of Oneiromancer, File:Oneiromancer chathead Oneiromancer again.

Congratulations! Quest complete!

Required for completing[]

Completion of Lunar Diplomacy is required for the following:

Trivia[]

  • After you give Chat head image of Meteora, File:Meteora chathead Meteora her Special Tiara, she still seems to be wearing the Item image of %7B%7B%3ALunar+amulet%7D%7D, File:Lunar amulet Lunar amulet on her head on her chathead and in-game.
  • Meteora's dialogue is a subtle reference to the way a peasant speaks to King Arthur in the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
  • Having the Item image of %7B%7B%3ABook+o%27+piracy%7D%7D, File:Book o' piracy Book o' piracy in your inventory at the start of the quest modifies some of the pirate's conversation with you.
  • Before you enter the dream, if you re-obtain the Item image of %7B%7B%3Akindling%7D%7D, File:kindling kindling and Item image of %7B%7B%3AWaking+sleep+vial%7D%7D, File:Waking sleep vial potion from the Chat head image of Oneiromancer, File:Oneiromancer chathead Oneiromancer and then soak the kindling and drop it, you are left with an Item image of %7B%7B%3AEmpty+vial%7D%7D, File:Empty vial empty lunar vial; you can fill this up with water again and mix in a Item image of %7B%7B%3Aguam+leaf%7D%7D, File:guam leaf guam leaf and a Item image of %7B%7B%3Amarrentill%7D%7D, File:marrentill marrentill once more for 84 Skill icon of Herblore, File:Herblore icon Herblore Link to experience experience per herb, though you cannot empty out the Item image of %7B%7B%3AGuam-marr+vial%7D%7D, File:Guam-marr vial vials. Unfortunately, getting more vials requires passing through tedious dialogue. It is not known whether this is a bug.
  • At a certain point when speaking to Captain Bentley you start the dialogue by saying "Oh captain, my captain" which is a reference to the poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The phrase was popularized by the film Dead Poets Society.
  • Captain Bentley says he stole the ship from Karamjan port and that the doors were too small for his crew. This is a reference to the Monkey Madness quest, in which Glough, a gnome, commissioned ships for his gnome army.
