Back to my Roots

Items Required: Pot, Soft clay, Secatuers, Machete, Woodcutting Axe, Trowel, Spade, Plant Pot, 40gp
Items Recommended: A couple Ardougne Teleports, food, and some antipoisons
Required Quests: Fairy Tale part 1, Hand in the Sand, One Small Favour, Tribal Totem
Required Skills: 55 Agility, 53 Farming, 59 Slayer, 72 Woodcutting
Highest Level Monster: Level 167
Estimated time to complete: Less than 1 hour
Difficulty: Medium to High (would be difficult for lower combat levels)
Start Point: Horacio in Ardougne

1. Talk to Horacio, who is located at the gate of a mansion that is just South-East of North Ardougne bank. You'll be more than happy to help him get a jade vine for his gardening. He tells you to talk to wizard crompty for help in transporting the root cut from the karamja jungle. Wizard Crompty is located on the far East side of Ardougne.

Image

2. Wizard Crompty needs your help in getting a package before he will help, so he sends you over to the RPDT to see what the hold up is. The RPDT is located to the South of Ardougne near the docks.

Image

3. Talk to one of the workers in there. It turns out they have a smelly package that they aren't allowed to open, so go over to the table and open it. You get a wizards hand (this is not of use during the quest, keep it for a bonus reward after the quest is finished). Talk to the worker again and they will send the packages that have been held up now.

Image

Image

3. Go back to Wizard Crompty and he will tell you that you need to make a pot lid (you have to make one at this step or it will be the "wrong size") then to go talk to Garth about getting the vine cutting.

Image

Image

4. Take the boat from Ardougne to Brimhaven (costs 30gp)

5. Talk to Garth who is located just South of where the boat comes to shore by the fruit tree patch. He tells you about needing a pot lid to seal the cutting for transportation and that it's located in a maze North-East of shilo village.

Image

6. Take the cart to the East of Garth to Shilo Village (costs 10gp). Stop at the bank and get food and melee armour if needed.

7. Walk out of the gates to the East and take the stepping stones across the river. Now walk north to take the log across the river, then walk south till you reach the opening of the maze and climb up the first part. The maze is a little complicated so I'll let the pictures do the explaining.

Image

[optional]
Note: While you are going through the maze you might want to fight monsters to get parts of a wizard to get a reward of 10k mage xp, 200 laws and 100 bloods after the quest. It takes a little while to get all the drops, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it as it's not part of the quest. It may be required for a quest in the future though.
The parts you need are:
Image Hand (you already got it from the package at RPDT)
Image Torso
Image Left Arm
Image Right Arm
Image Left Leg
Image Right leg
Image Foot
[/optional]

8. Climb up vine

Image

9. Climb down vine

Image

10. Climb down vine

Image

11. Cut through vines

Image

12. Cut through the next set of vines

Image

13. Climb up vine

Image

14. Climb up vine

Image

15. Climb up vine

Image

16. Climb down vine

Image

17. Swing across

Image

18. Climb down vine

Image

19. Climb down vine

Image

20. Cut through and crawl under vines

Image

21. Squeeze through vines

Image

22. Climb up vine

Image

23. Climb up the next vine

Image

24. Go across the vine and climb down vine

Image

25. Go down vine

Image

26. Crawl under vines

Image

27. Climb up vine

Image

28. Climb up vine

Image

29. Go across vine

Image

30. Climb down vine

Image

31. Climb down vine

Image

And you are finally at where the roots of the huge jade vine is.

32. Dig up some loose soil to find some roots

Image

33. Cut the roots to get a root cutting

Image

Image

34. Use the cutting with a plant pot to try and start growing your own to take back to Horacio

Image

It may fail a couple times

Image

Just keep cutting new ones and trying on the plant pot till it's successful

Image

35. Use the Potted root on your normal pot that you brought and it will be sealed with the lid. If you try and leave without it sealed in the pot, it will die.

Image

36. Go back to Horacio in Ardougne. He will want you to plant is as well now (No Surprise)

Image

Image

37. Plant the seed in his patch. There's a leprechaun near it if you need any tools.

Image

38. Make sure you have a woodcutting axe (you can't hurt it otherwize) as your weapon and food before you start combat.

Image

Image

39. Fight the wild vine down, it's not that difficult for higher levels. Lower levels might find it more difficult. The highest I saw it hit me was 16.

Image

Image

40. Talk to Horacio and you are finished!

Image


After you are done, if you collected the body parts during the quest (you can always go back and get them later) you can now take them to Zavistic Rarve in the Magic guild. If you can't get into the magic guild you can ring the bell outside to talk to Zavistic.

Image

After returning the body parts, he'll give you 200 laws and 100 blood runes. He still wants more evidence for the courts against Sandy, however.

Image

He'll teleport you there.

Image

Search the desk for his diary and unlock it

Image

Image

Image

Go back to Zarvistic and give him the book

Image

He will invite you to the ceremony where he will give you the 10k magic experience for helping out.

Image

Image

Image

If anyone wants to clean up the images in this guide a bit, they can. I don't have time for it
