Making Friends with My Arm is an upcoming master quest in the troll quest series that follows on from My Arm's Big Adventure. It was first announced during RuneFest 2016 on 17 September 2016 and polled on 15 August 2018 as part of the Raise your hands for My Arm? poll.

The quest will involve travelling with My Arm to Weiss, a troll town just north-east of Trollweiss Mountain, to establish relations with the ice trolls who were driven out of the mines of Keldagrim by the Wise Old Man many years ago. However, My Arm must first woo the troll maiden Snowflake and kill the Wise Old Man.

Description	My Arm, the troll from My Arm's Big Adventure, must embark on another journey of discovery. This time you'll be escorting him to Weiss, a newly discovered troll town in the far north of the world, so he can share his wisdom cough with the inhabitants, in exchange for learning about their inventions. Life's journeys can take us to some strange places, but My Arm is about to face the greatest adventure of all - true love. Plus they'd like him to kill the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village, which doesn't sound like a clever move. Can you help My Arm get a grip on the situation and woo the fair Snowflake over the objections of her father, Mother? Or will My Arm be left to a loveless life of loneliness?

Walkthrough

Start

Items required: None.
Items recommended: Weight-reducing clothing.

To start the quest, talk to Burntmeat on the lower level of the Troll Stronghold, south of the entrance. He will introduce you to a troll from Weiss, a troll city north of the stronghold. They want a local troll to share some knowledge with the trolls from Weiss, and Burntmeat selected My Arm due to his experiences around Gielinor and farming goutweed. After finishing the conversation with Burntmeat, talk to My Arm on the roof, who will agree to travel to Weiss. However, the trip will have to be done by sea as the mountains are too difficult to cross. Go to Rellekka's shores and talk to Larry (fastest route is fairy ring DKS), who accepts to lend his boat.

Entering Weiss

Items required: Any pickaxe and rope (both obtainable during this part).
Items recommended: Weight-reducing clothing and stamina potions, a teleport to Draynor Village.

After a short journey, you will arrive at the northern coast of Weiss. There is a wrecked boat; take a pickaxe, rope and hammer if you do not already have them. Investigate the mine entrance with rubble in front of it, which requires 72 Mining (boostable) to clear. However, it cannot be cleared yet and it must be mined from the inside. To get there, you have to climb to the city (requiring 68 Agility (boostable)). After climbing the first ledge, use the rope on the small tree and climb up the rope. Once at the city gates, Boulder will be guarding the entrance and will not let you in for any reason. Instead, go east of him through the crack in the fence. You will enter an instanced version of the city with trolls throwing rocks at you, which will knock you out of the city if they hit. Go south along the city's edge, then west and then north, to reach the previously spotted hole in the ground to enter the mine. Once inside, quickly go south through the gap, or the trolls that follow knock you out. This gap acts as a checkpoint should you be knocked out again. Follow the path and swim through the water, again avoiding the thrown rocks. At the end will be the mine entrance that needs to be unblocked for My Arm to enter. However, before he can enter, a small path of stepping stones needs to be created in the water (as noted by your character) for My Arm to walk on, done by letting the trolls above throw rocks in the water. Once there is a long enough path (roughly four stones long), mine the rubble and let My Arm walk in. The trolls will not attack and take you to the city's leader — Mother, his right-hand man Don't Know What and his inventor assistant Odd Mushroom. He also has a daughter, Snowflake, with whom My Arm falls in love.

Mother is uninterested in any of the offerings My Arm has to make any business with Weiss, and he is adamant that trolls only need to be concerned about physical strength and prowess; he also wants his daughter to marry Don't Know What who would inherit the throne once Mother dies. A plan is devised to let My Arm impress Mother by faking the killing of Wise Old Man, a long-time enemy of trolls.

Wise Old Man

Items required: Hammer, Saw, 5 Mahogany planks, Bolt of cloth, Cadava berries

Make way to Draynor Village where you will have to talk to the Wise Old Man.

After you told the Wise Old Man he still have to do you a favour after Swan Song; he acknowledged that you saved his life from the Sea Troll Queen, and agreed to help My Arm and Snowflake by pretending to be dead. For this, you have to build a mahogany coffin in his house and fetch a specially calibrated dose of cavada potion from the Apothecary in Varrock, similar to the one you got for Juliet when she needed to look dead.
