* White Berries can be obtained from White Berry Bushes with Level 59 Farming, a respawn in the Red Dragon Island in the Deep Wilderness, a respawn in Isafdar, or dropped from killing Cave Crawlers in the Slayer Dungeon and Lumbridge Dungeon, and from Chaos Druid Warriors in the Yanille Dungeon. Recommended Items: Four Watchtower Teleports (8 Earth Runes and 8 Law Runes)**, two Ardougne Teleports (4 Water Runes and 4 Law Runes) and 60 Gold Pieces (or Ring of Charos (a)) and a Charged Amulet of Glory. ** If you have not done the Watchtower Quest or do not have Level 58 Magic, you can use a Ring of Dueling and teleport to Castle Wars, and then walk to Yanille from there. Non-Player Characters: Bert, Bartender, Guard Captain, Zavistic Rarve, Sandy, Betty, and Mazion. Starting the Quest  Before starting, have all the Items required and recommended in your Inventory. If you have done the Watchtower Quest, teleport to the Watchtower and head into Yanille. Talk to Bert, located northwest inside Yanille. He will complain about finding a Severed Hand and his fears of losing his job because of that.  Tell him to talk to the authorities. He will disagree and ask you to do it for him. Accept this task, he will give you the hand and tell you to talk to the Guard Captain.  Head to Dragon Inn, the Bar in Yanille, to find the Guard Captain there.  If you don't already have one, buy a Beer from the Bartender for 2 Gold Pieces. Talk to the Guard Captain. It seems he wants some Beer. Use your Beer on him to give it to him and he will gladly accept it. Then show him the Severed Hand. He will accidentally drop it into his beer and return it to you, claiming that it belongs to a wizard and that you should take it to the Wizards' Guild.  Zavistic Rarve and Investigating the Situation Head to the Wizards' Guild. If you have access to it, go inside and speak to Zavistic Rarve. If not, ring the Bell outside to summon him and speak to him. Explain the situation about the Severed Hand and he will claim that he recognizes the Hand, which belongs to one of the Wizards named Clarence. He will assign you the task of finding the culprit.  Now, go back and talk to Bert the Sandman. He will tell you that he works for Sandy's Sand Corporation and that his work schedule changed recently to make him work for long hours. He will give you his copy of the Rota, as well as telling you that his boss, Sandy, keeps the original Rota at his Office in Brimhaven.  It is to Brimhaven next. Either teleport to Ardougne and take the Boat to Brimhaven for 30 Gold Pieces or for free if you are wearing your Ring of Charos (a), or rub your Amulet of Glory to teleport to Karamja and walk to Brimhaven.  Talk to Sandy. Not exactly that friendly, he will refuse to talk to you or tell you anything and want you to get out. Search his Desk, located in the same Building, to find the original Rota. You notice that the Rota Bert has and the Rota Sandy has are different. While you are there, Pick-Pocket Sandy for some Sand you will need later. Take both Rotas back to Bert.  Either teleport to the Watchtower or make your way to Yanille. Return to Bert with both Rotas, and he will give you a Magical Scroll he found in his House. Talk to Zavistic Rarve in the Wizards' Guild and give him the Magical Scroll. He suspects that someone used Magic to change Bert's Rota and wants you to go to Betty, a Witch and the Owner of the Rune Shop in Port Sarim, to brew a Truth Serum. He will also give you a Magical Orb, which can be used as a Recording Camera.  Either teleport to Falador and walk south, teleport to Draynor Village with your Amulet of Glory and walk west, or ask Zavistic Rarve to teleport you to Port Sarim by giving him an Empty Vial. Talk to Betty once you are there, and she will ask for an Empty Vial. After giving it to her, she will give you a Bottled Water and want you to make some Pink Dye. First use the Red Berries with the Bottled Water (to get Red Berry Juice), then add White Berries to get Pink Dye. Use the Pink Dye on the Lantern Lens to get a Rose-Tinted Lens. After tinting the Lantern Lens, talk to Betty, who will put a Vial of Unfinished Truth Serum on the Table. Stand at the Doorway and use the Rose-Tinted Lens on the Counter and she will give you a Vial of Strange Liquid. However, the Truth Serum is still not completed, as you need something personal of Sandy to finish it. Give Betty the Sand you Pick-Pocketed from Sandy and she will give you the completed Truth Serum.  Finding Out the Truth from Sandy Return to Sandy and try to spike his Coffee with the Truth Serum, but you will find out that you need to distract him first. Talk to him and select any of the three Options to distract him until one of them works, as it is different for all Players.  If it does not work, he will say, "I'm not falling for that one!" If the Option you chose does work, the idiot will look outside the Window excitedly. When he does, use the Truth Serum on his Coffee Mug on the Wooden Table beside him. After a while, he will take a sip of his Coffee.  Activate the Magical Orb you got from Zavistic Rarve to start the recording process. Next, talk to Sandy and ask him all the questions available. After finding out the truth, return to Zavistic Rarve in the Wizards' Guild in Yanille. The Enchanted Sandpit and the Head After observing the recording, Zavistic Rarve will ask you for five Earth Runes and a Bucket of Sand. If you only have a Bucket, don't worry, as you can fill it with Sand at the Sandpit beside Bert's House. Hand the Items to him and he will enchant Bert's Sandpit with a Spell that cause an infinite flow of Sand, it is now self-replenishing.  Now, Zavistic Rarve will ask you to find the Head of Clarence, who is the Owner of the Severed Hand, and give him a proper burial. Head to Port Sarim and talk to the Monks there to take the Boat to Entrana. Remember that no Weapons are allowed on Entrana.  From Entrana's dock, head west to the Sandpit and you will find Mazion. Ask him if he had found any Body Parts in the Sand and ask if you can have it. He will give you Clarence's Head.  Return to the Wizards' Guild. Ring the Bell and speak to Zavistic Rarve. Give him Clarence's Head . Reward Congratulations! You have completed the quest!
Secret Reward from Bert Go back to Bert and talk to him. You will find out that he has been given a large sum of Money, enough to support himself for the rest of his life without any work. However, being the hardworking guy he is, he will offer to deliver 84 Buckets of Sand directly to your Bank everyday for free. However, you must speak to him everyday in order to receive the 84 Buckets of Sand and wait for at least 24 hours before you receive another 84 Buckets of Sand. |
