Digsite
Background: Want to learn more about Earth Sciences and what mysteries lie underground at the Digsite? Now’s your chance…
Required Skills: Level 10 Herblore, Level 10 Agility, Level 25 Thieving
Required Items: 2 Ropes (Pickpocket women or you can buy them from Ned in Draynor), Cup of Tea (can be bought or thieved at the Tea Shop in Varrock), Gloves (should be worn at all times), Boots (should be worn at all times), Tinderbox, Empty Vial, Pestle and Mortar, 1 Uncut Opal (available from other players or from Shilo Village)
Quest Difficulty: Medium (Long)
Start Point: The Exam Centre, north of Al Kharid and South East of Varrock. Speak to an Examiner there and ask to take an exam.
Reward: 2 Quest Points, 15,300 Mining Experience, 2000 Herblore Experience, 2 Gold Bars
1. Speak to an Examiner and ask to take an Earth Sciences Exam to start the quest. You will receive an “Unstamped Letter” that you need to get stamped in order to take the exam.
2. Go to the Varrock Museum now with the letter and use it with the Curator and he will stamp it for you.
3. Head back to the Examiner now and show her your new “Stamped Letter”. If you speak to her she will give you an exam, don’t worry if you answer the questions wrongly as you will just have to “study more”.
4. Walk north now until you come to two wooden walkways. Walk along the one to the east and go north until you arrive at a large blue urn. Next to it there are two bushes. Search the bush on the left and you will find a “Teddy Bear”.
5. Now keep walking north along the walkway. When you get to the bottom to the east of you there should be a big tent. Inside there is a “Panning Tray”, take it.
6. Walk East a little until you come to a stream. Pan in the “Panning Points” and a guide will approach you telling you that you aren’t allowed to pan there without an invitation. If you ask him how to get invited he will ask you to get him a nice cup of tea as he is “parched”. Give him the cup of tea your brought with you and he will allow you to pan in the stream.
7. Now use your panning tray with the panning point until you find another rock sample that will be covered with mud. You will most likely find a couple of Opals or Jades at the same time. It takes a while but you will eventually get the sample.
8. Go slightly north now, away from the panning site until you come to some “Digsite Workmen”. Steal from them until you obtain a third rock sample. It takes a few tries to get it. Also, now is a good time to steal some rope too if you haven’t got any. You will also need to steal a “Specimen Brush”, this takes the longest. You could also be dealt damage when thieving so if you have low health it might be wise to bring a couple of food.
9. Now talk to the student by the workmen wearing a green shirt and give him the first rock sample. Then he will give you an answer to the first question of the exam.
10. Walk a bit further north now and talk to the student in the orange shirt then use your second rock sample on him. He will then give you the answer to the second question on the exam.
11. Walk a little more north again until you come to a female student wearing purple. Talk to her then give her the Teddy Bear you found in the bush by the urn. She will tell you the answer to the third question on the exam.
12. Head on back to the Examiner again now and take the exam she tried to give you earlier. You now know the answers and should pass the exam with flying colours but remember you will not have all the correct answers as options until you have spoken to the students and found their rock samples.
13. Upon correct completion of the exam you will get a “Trowel”. Be careful not to lose this because you won’t be able to get another one from the examiner, but if you do lose it there’s always those pesky workmen you can pickpocket. Don’t lose the certificate you get either. You will need this for later. You can also take it to the Curator in the museum and he will look after it for you if you think you will lose it.
14. Now you will need to go and speak to all of the same students again to get the answers to the second exam. You won’t need to do them any favours this time though. When you have all the answers go back to the examiner and take the second exam.
15. Once you pass the second exam you will get a second certificate. You can keep this or give it to the Curator again like the first one.
16. Go back and speak to the students again, and ask them for the answers to the third and final exam.
17. This time though you will need to get the female student a beautiful stone, the Opal you should already have with you. Give it to her and she will tell you the final answer.
18. Go back one last time and speak to the Examiner. She will give you the last exam.
19. When you pass the exam you will get a final certificate proving your brilliance. Now you also have the privilege to dig anywhere in the Digsite.
20. Go and visit the Curator now with either all of the certificates, if you kept them with you, or the last one if you let he curator watch them for you.
21. He will say he wants to reward you for your work once he sees all three certificates and offers you either something to eat or something to drink. I chose the drink which is a new Gnome Cocktail called a “Fruit Blast”.
22. Go to the very far northeast corner of the Digsite now. There are some sacks here, search them and find a specimen jar.
23. Now walk just to the right to the small digsite with the large skeleton in it. Use your trowel from earlier on the soil. Eventually you will find a strange talisman, this is a “Zaros Talisman”. You will also find a bunch of other junk while searching for the talisman but occasionally you might find some Black Medium Helms which are worth a bit of cash.
24. Go back to where the Examiner is and you will also see some Archaeological Experts. Speak to one of them then use the Zaros Talisman on him. He will explain to you that it is a good discovery and give you a letter allowing you to use the private mine shafts.
25. Now go back to the far northeast corner again, where you found the talisman. Then walk south slightly until you see a “Winch”. Use the letter you got from the Expert with a workman and he will allow you access to the private shafts.
26. Try to operate the Winch but it will say you will need something to help you get to the bottom. This is where that rope comes in. Use the rope with the winch and you will go down.
27. Once down there take an “Arcenia Root” from around the walls of the shaft. Then climb back out again.
28. Now you want to go back to the tent where you got the panning tray. Outside this tent there is a specimen pit. Search it.
29. You will find some “Charcoal”.
30. Now use your Pestle and Mortar with the Charcoal. You will get some “Ground Charcoal”.
31. Walk slightly southwest now until you come to three barrels.
32. Use your trowel with the barrels until one of them opens. Then use your empty vial with the open barrel, it will fill with some orange liquid. DON’T drop this, you will take some serious, serious damage if you do.
33. Head back to the Archaeological Expert again and use the newly filled vial with him to get the substance identified. He will tell you it is Nitro-glycerine.
34. Go over to where the Examiners are again and search the bookcases nearby.
35. You will find a book on Chemicals. This will tell you how to make a Bomb needed for later on. You need to read it.
36. Now search the cupboard also close by and you should find a rock pick. This isn’t really needed to complete the quest, but it’s still cool to have one.
37. Go back to the winch once again and go down.
38. Speak to the workman inside and he will call you a visitor. Tell him you have invited to work there and if he knows where there would be a chest key. He will tell you he has one then you must keep begging him for it until he finally gives in and gives it to you.
39. Head back to the tent where you got the panning tray from and the Nitro-glycerine and use the new key you got on the chest inside the tent.
40. Search the chest and you will find some usual white powder.
41. Go back again to the Expert and use it on him and he will identify it for you. It is Ammonium Nitrate.
42. Go now to a new Winch. It is located northwest this time, across from the other winch. Use your second rope here and lower yourself down.
43. You will find yourself inside a different shaft now. Walk east a little until you come to another pathway that some large bricks are blocking.
44. Now is the part where you get to make the bomb you have just gathered all the ingredients for. First, use the Ammonium Nitrate with the Nitro-glycerine. Then use the ground Charcoal on that mixture. Then lastly use the Arcenia Root on the mixture. You will produce a potentially explosive compound.
45. Now use tis new explosive with the bricks blocking the way.
46. Then use your tinderbox with the bricks, and step back!
47. The bricks will now be cleared and you will some bones moving.
48. Inside you will see many Skeletons (Level 25) and a giant Zaros symbol in the centre of the room. Go to the middle of the symbol and you will see a “Stone Tablet”.
49. Take it and climb back up the rope and outside.
50. Go back to the Expert and show him the tablet you have found.
51. QUEST COMPLETE!
