I had too much cat food (pikes) with me so I decided to take off my earmuffs and found out the following, which would be a little more accurate than what's currently in the Bestiary regarding these Banshees. I noticed that within 4 hits, my Attack, Strength, Ranged and Magic went down with over 50 lvls, defence with around 25, prayer with almost 30 levels drained, and summoning around 10. Note: When you are not wearing your slayer helmet or earmufs, you will take 8 HP damage for every hit they make, as well as extreme losses in Attack, Strenght, Magic and Ranged stats, your Defence will also degenerate, but at a somewhat slower rate. Next to that, your Prayer and Summoning points will be drained quickly.

I used this guide to see the items required, and I noticed a mistake in here. Among the Items Required this guide states: "Willow branch" however, for this quest one needs 12 willow branches Later in the Quest Guide it is indeed made clear that one requires 12, but as said, it does not state this in the Items Required part.

Some of my plants did get diseased, which is why I´m suggesting this.

Right after entering the cave: "Enter the Grotto and speak with Filliman." However, one cannot, because he cannot be seen in the cave.. Enter the Grotto, and click the "search Grotto" option right in the middle and Filliman will appear. Talk to him.

Items required/recommended: At least 2 plant cure, as crops you will grow in this quest may get diseased you'll probably need more. You will need 2 plant cures further on in the quest, after growing these crops. If you need additional plant cures for your crops, you can also buy them from a farmer (at the patch) for 25 Gp, or at a farming store for 40 Gp. Also, if you decide not to use amulet of nature I would recommend bringing noted items for alcing, to make time pass faster while you wait.

The Quest Guide here states, that for the tree sap (which is to be given to the Embalmer) must be obtained by using a knife on an Evergreen. However, I would like to take this oppertunity to point out that this sap can be taken from ANY level one tree ("Tree" and "Evergreen" trees). :D
