Ever had an out-of-body experience? Well, you will have after undergoing the process of ‘Familiarisation’, the act of mentally projecting yourself into the spirit plane. The druids of Taverley need people to undergo this process and then gather resources from the spirit plane (from which the druids create spirit shards), all the while avoiding the resident familiars. Summoning pouch components or (temporary) triple charm drops are up for grabs for any who lend their brain.

Like with other D&Ds, you’ll first need to find out where it is, for which your best bet is having a chat with Pikkupstix in Taverley. He’ll be able to give you some indication of the location of his new apprentice, Pikkenmix. This will typically be at whichever Summoning mini obelisk is currently ‘active’, through which you’ll be able to project your mind once per week.

Summary:

Where to start Familiarisation:

Look out for any small Summoning obelisks that are sparkling. If you have trouble finding one, Pikkupstix in Taverley will give you a rough idea of where to look.

Requirements to play Familiarisation:

There are no requirements to play Familiarisation, not even having to complete the Wolf Whistle quest. You can partake in Familiarisation once a week.


In other news...

The Guthix balance (unf) potion now has a make-all option (as does adding garlic to stat restore potions).

The bone key from Shilo Village can be obtained again if you destroyed it. Speak to Yanni for a replacement.

The staff of light can now be lent out.

interesting, but nothing special. Weak rewards and a pain to try and find, not worth the effort on the whole.

A Kid asked Jesus, "How much do you love me?" and Jesus said. "This much." And spread his arms out on the cross and died. If you believe that he did this for you put this in your signature.

Nice! I want Staff of light but I don't like to buy from the Grand Exchange. This staff can be lendable from other players.

Now that I have tried it, I can comment on it. 5/5 to start off. It was a very fun D&D. I got stuck as an Evil Turnip but next week I'll be something better, I hope. I got 60 shards with about 1/4 of the bar left. It was only at the end that the familiars started to find me out, got to having 6 familiars wanting to get me out of there. Took me a little while to find an active alter, I saw one when I was finding penguins but wasn't sure if I could do it seeing I haven't talked to Pikkupstix. After talking, I went back and it wasn't active so I had to do a fair amount of world switching until I found one. In the end, for 234k worth of secondarys ingredients so I was happy with that and now i can't wait to either do it again, or be doing slayer and using the triple drop option. Very good update, one more thing for me to add to my list of weekly to dos now. Does anyone know if it resets after a week from when you did it, or is there a set date it resets and then you can go back and do it on that date?
