Waterbirth Island

Miscellania (fairy ring code C-I-P) and Etceteria are two small islands off the northwest coast of the Fremennik Province. Once you have completed the Throne of Miscellania quest, all inhabitants view you as Prince or Princess Regent of the island of Miscellania, and they work for you if your popularity is high. If you complete the second quest, Royal Trouble, both islands will work for you. You need to speak to Advisor Ghrim in Miscellania palace to tell your loyal subjects how to work for you.

The islands are unusual in that the vast majority of "work" that you do improves your popularity rating amongst the islanders, rather than getting you items. For example, if you mine coal, it is automatically given to a worker, and you receive no coal in your inventory or experience for mining it. Even random event rewards are given to the workers, including gems, bird nests and the seeds in them, etc. (This applies to the work you do, the work done by inhabitants for you will give you the random event rewards) The notable exceptions are the bush patch, and the spirit tree patch, both used in the Farming skill.

Travel

The boat to the south of the island leads to a dock in Rellekka. It is free to use, but you must have completed The Fremennik Trials quest.
If you have 83 Farming and have grown a spirit tree here, you can use it to teleport here.

If your construction is high enough to move your house to Relekka, you can simply use house teleport and walk a short distance.

Notable features

Bank

There is a bank on the northeast side of Etceteria.

Managing your kingdom

File:Miscellania management.png

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 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 herbs
Fishing tuna and swordfish

Once you have completed the Royal Trouble quest, you can also do things 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. 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 is a good way because it's on the way to visiting Ghrim.

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 investment for your money.

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.
