Hunting for the Lumberjack equipment Due to my experience with Temple Trekking, I’ve decided to make a guide about “hunting” for the Lumberjack equipment.I hope it’ll help you in your quest for the set. It is a fun minigame although it’s deserted most of the time. Contents: I. General Information II. Requirements III. Equipment IV. Inventory V. Events VI. Strategy VII. Rewards VIII. Credits I. General Information Most people know the minigame as Temple Trekking, which is false.The complete minigame has 2 parts: Temple Trekking and Burgh de Rott Ramble. a.Temple Trekking: means taking the villagers to the Paterdomus(temple near Canifis) from Burgh de Rott. b.Burgh de Rott Ramble: means taking the villagers to Burgh de Rott from Paterdomus. For the best results you should do both of the minigames, as the end of a succesfull trekk gets you to the start of the other minigame, being easier this way as you don’t need to teleport to the start unless your companion dies(although it shouldn’t) or you have to escape from an event(such as bog). II. Requirements To be able to trekk efficiently I’d say you should complete the following quests as they are either required or aid you: • Priest In Peril (req) • Nature Spirit (aid) • In search of the Myreque (req) • In Aid of the Myreque (req) • Darkness of Hallowvale (req) • Desert Treasure (aid) • Fairy Tale Part II - Cure a Queen (aid) I will not mention any combat related requirements as the quests above need some good skills(both combat and noncombat) to be completed. I’ve mentioned Desert Treasure because of the teleport that you can build in your house (Kharyrll) which on use will teleport to Canifis, allowing you to restock at the bank or get at the start of the minigame, near the river, very fast. Other way of trekking is making use of the fairy rings(you can access them in the first few steps, from the fairy quest). You can either use a glory amulet and teleport to Edgeville then use the fairy ring there or teleport to your house and use the glory amulet mounted in your Quest Hall, to teleport to Edgeville then use the fairy ring.The code CKS is to be used as it’ll tele port you near the start of the minigame(at the Paterdomus). III. Equipment The beauty about this minigame is that it does not require expensive gear. A simple rune gear can be used, to avoid any barrows armour repair, if you used that kind’of equipment. General use gear: [hide][/hide] I’ve had my void set(melee) for a few years now and I rarely used it so I take it with me during trekking. [hide][/hide] You shouldn’t worry that much about combat as you will skip most dangerous events. IV. Inventory When trekking I use the following inventory: [hide][/hide] • Axe: used to cut trees during the events; • Tinderbox: used to light a fire for one of the events; • Dust/law runes: used for hometeleport(I use the Canifis portal and go back to trekking),they allow for a restart of the game in-case of the bog event; • Hammer:used to fix logs/planks in the bridge event; • Knife:used to cut vines (during an event) or skin the snakes you encounter; • Logs:used to make some events faster(such as the sick people one); • Snails:same as above. Due to my stats I do not require food during the minigame.If sometimes happens and I get hit, I simply restore HP when banking.The dust/law rune combo is also a very good way of keeping track of how many bogs event you’ve encountered as they usually are the only events that force you to teleport thus annoying everyone.I usually trekk for 10 bogs, then go back to the usual skills. V. Events During trekking you can encounter a number of 13 events(12 if you do not use the hard route, which you shouldn’t if you want speed). The level of the escorts dictates the number of monsters you'll encounter during trekking.Easy escorts will bring out 3 monsters in the events, while the medium ones will make 4 of them appear and finally the hard escorts will have the maximum of monsters encounters,5 of them in each event. 1) Abidor Crank He appears when randomly trekking and helps you by healing your companion and yourself, also boosting your defence over it’s max. If you have rotten food in your inventory he will change it into stews. [hide][/hide] 2) Vampyre Juvinates-level 59 on route 1 A group of vampyres will attack you.Skip this event by using 1 of the 2 lateral paths(right click them, skip event). [hide][/hide] 3) Ghasts-level 79 on route 1 You will not see anything on the minimap, rather see a few ghasts that will try to attack you.Skip. [hide][/hide] 4) Shades-level 80 Riyl Shades on route 1 This event will only appear in Mort’ton.Shades will attack.Skip. [hide][/hide] 5) Swamp Snakes-level 80 on route 1 Three of them will attack.If you’re not in a hurry, slay all of them then use the knife on their bodies, to get snake hides.Bank them when at Burgh de Rott. You can also skip this event. [hide][/hide] 6) Giant Snails-level 80 on route 1 They will attack with acid, although range pray negates their attack.You can also use a snelm(snail helm) to protect against them.Shouldn’t be needed though.Skip. [hide][/hide] 7) Tentacle and Head Monster-only found on route 3 *info below is from the Official Tip.It trekking guide* This monster is only found on route 3. It is actually 5 parts: 4 level 99 tentacles and 1 level 140 head. You must kill all 4 tentacles first. If you kill the head while 1 or more tentacles still are alive, the head will respawn at full health. You must kill all the parts in order to go on. Once you have defeated them, click the boat to continue your trip. Right click on the boat if you want to escape the event (abandoning your mission with no reward.) You will be slightly southwest of the swamp boaty travel point. NOTE: If you poison one part of the monster, all parts become poisoned. 8) Nail beasts-level 69 on route 1 Three of them will attack your and your companion.Due to the high summoning experience you can get by using the talon beast charms that they drop I’d recommend slaying them and keeping the charms.You can also skip this event, but do it fast as each of their attack has 3 hits. [hide][/hide] 9) Vyrewatch-level 85 on route 1 You will encounter such beasts after completing the Legacy of Seergaze quest.If you wish you can slay them using the Flail of Ivandis,thus getting a vyre corpse for each of them, that you can cremate.I recommend skipping. [hide][/hide] The next 4 events are noncombat so I’ve listed them separately. 1) River You will have to cross a river, without any bridge at disposal.Near you there will be a tree with 3 vines hanging.Use your knife with it, 3 times, to get the vines.After that simply use one of them on another vine. You’ll make a rope out of the 3 vines.Use the rope on the other tree, without vines, on the branch that is above the river.Right click the rope->swing.You’ll pass over the river and shortly, your companion will do it too.After that continue your trekking, using the path you can find north of you. [hide] [/hide] 2) Bog You will be in a swamp, with no bridge or trees.I choose to skip this event as I find it faster than testing the soil for firm spots.It’s simply frustrating to be 1 spot away from the other shore and bam, you sink in the swamp. [hide] [/hide] 3) Campsite In this event there will be 3 sick people, leaning on some dead logs. Make a fire using your tinderbox and one of the logs in your inventory. Cook the 3 snails you have in your inventory then use one at a time on the sick people.Hurry though, or else they turn into ghasts and you have to tele. It seems the middle person turns into a ghast the fastest, then the person north of it so I recommend healing the people in this order:middle,top,bottom.Cut the dead tree nearby to get a log back and then slay 3 snails for their meat.Continue your trekk using the north path. [hide] [/hide] 4) Bridge This event should be split into 2, depending if you get trees or not. 4.1 With trees You have to cross the river, after you’ve fixed the bridge.Cut the trees nearby until you have 3 logs from them(keep the other logs in your inventory for the events).Use one log at a time on the empty space in the bridge to fix it.After that continue your trekk, by passing over the bridge and using the path. [hide] [/hide] 4.2 Without trees This is the event you’ve been expecting,as it is the event that will reward you with lumberjack pieces. Slay the zombies that come out of the water.There are different waves, of 5 zombies each.They will drop planks.Use them in a similar fashion as the logs from the event with the trees.They only drop 1 lumberjack item/event, so look at the drop pile.If it has 6 options it's usually made of:bones,plank,lumberjack item.If the drop pile contains more options(coming from a new zombie that is) it'll contain:bones,plank, 3 snails. [hide] [/hide] Tip:if you already have all the pieces but you want more of them, simply bring one of the items that are easier to get(such as boots) and drop the before killing the zombies.If they drop an item you don’t want pick up the item you’ve dropped and continue with fixing the bridge. Tip:if you have more than 1 set and still want more, bring all of the items of one kind(such as boots) and repeat what I’ve wrote at the previous tip. Tip:If the zombies do not drop any piece(although you’ve dropped the one in your inventory before killing) don’t worry. Pick up your item and relog(log off then back in). You’ll be in the same event, but the zombies will come out of the water, otherwise you’d have to wait for the waves to reset. VI. Strategy I’d avise starting from the Paterdomus side as it is easier to get to.Choose one of the easier people to escort (either mage or adventurer) and start the event, then choosing the easy route(blue one).Should you encounter any events(yes, there is a possibilty of not getting any events during a round of trekking), deal with them as written in the events section. If you’ve succesfully reached Burgh de Rott, you will receive a reward token (blue for the easy route) and the person you escorted will dissapear in the city. On the other way around, to the Paterdomus you should use the easier people to escort also( either Fyiona Fray or Dalcian Fang) and start the event.Once you’ve reached the Paterdomus you will receive a reward token.Cash in your previous token (Hiylik Myna will give you the reward), for the Paterdomus-Burgh de Rott route and restart the minigame.When you’ve reached Burgh de Rott for the 2nd time, go at the bank and simply “use” the bank, you will be asked if you want to cash in your token, do so then bank the rewards(or snake hides/talon beast charms) that you’ve acquired, heal if needed and go at the minigame start, near the gate. As you can see the minigame isn’t that difficult and is a rewarding one, in my opinion. Start point and route from the Paterdomus:[hide] [/hide] [hide] [/hide] Start point and route from Burgh de Rott: [hide] [/hide] [hide] [/hide] For raw speed, use the people named above, skip all events possible (even snakes/beasts) and destroy your tokens at the end of each run.I personally destroyed all the tokens and only slayed nail beasts, for the charms, skipping the snake event. VII. Rewards By cashing in your tokens you can receive either item rewards or tomes of experience.The amount that you receive depends on the strength of the escorts(the weaker the better the rewards are) and also the route you take(for the lumberjack pieces use route 1). The items that you can receive are: [hide] [/hide] VIII. Credits Jagex-for creating the game.
