[Quest] A Quick Guide to: Rocking Out

[Iglw]

Thought I'd make a quick guide until a better one is written, especially with the forums being redone and all.

 

Fun (long) quest with lots of puzzles, but if you want spoilers... :P

 

I wasn't planning on writing a guide so no during-quest pictures I'm afraid. Sorry for any omissions/mistake in advance.

 

 

 

Hope you find it useful.

Getting Started

 

Items needed: Pirate Clothing

 

- Speak with Bill Teach and you will ask him about Rabid Jack.

 

- Bill will tell you to go to a prison called The Rock to find Young Ralph

 

- To get there you will need to head to Rimmington and talk to the Custom Officer there with Pirate Clothing

 

- He will ask you a series of questions that you will have to answer. I'm not sure how this works but my answers were "That's one of your ships!" and "Is this a trick? That ship was sunk!" The questions/answers may be different for you.

 

- Once you have proven yourself to be a pirate, deposit all your items in the locker (ie. bank) and he will teleport you to the prison.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting Young Ralph's Help - Make an accordion pump thing!

 

- Pick up the tin cup, search the rocks outside for an accordion, and listen and tap the pipes to get a pipe

 

- Shout out to the guard and he'll give you quill, bottle of ink, and paper.

 

 

 

- Use the tin cup on the door three times and the guard will splash soup on your shirt.

 

- Use the shirt on the perch rock and a seagull will land on it.

 

 

 

- Use the bottle of ink on the paper to get inky paper.

 

- Use the empty bottle on the sharp rock to break it.

 

- Use the broken bottle on the accordion to puncture a hole in it.

 

- Use the pipe on the accordion to stick it through.

 

- Use the inky paper on the accordion pump-thing to secure it.

 

- Use the final contraption on the seagull and it will get sucked in.

 

 

 

- Use this on the window between you and Young Ralph and you will get his attention.

 

- He will tell you that you need to bring him marks from five captains in accordance to his oath/vow thing.

 

- Head outside the prison and jump into the water to the east and you'll end up in Karamja at the gnome glider, head to a bank and prepare for some traveling!

 

 

 

Getting The Marks

 

The captains are:

 

Captain Braindeath (BD), Bill Teach (BT), Captain Brass Hand Harry (BH), Captain Izzy No-Beard (IZ), Redbeard Frank (RF)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since it is more convenient to get multiple marks at the same time, I will be presenting them in the order I find most efficient (requires ectophial, though). I've labeled them individually as well though, if for some reason you want to do them separately. You will need to do a task for each of the captains before they will give you their mark.

 

 

 

Items Needed: 2 Bronze Wires, Pirate Outfit, Hammer, Ghostspeak Amulet, Book o'Piracy. (Recommend Ectophial/Charter)

 

- (RF) Go to Redbeard Frank in Port Sarim and he will tell you to get a letter from the monks on Harmony Island

 

- (BT) Go to Port Phasmatys (You can skip this if you directly charter to Mos Le'Hamless and talk to him there instead) and Talk to Bill Teach to get his task, he will also give you a letter of recommendation.

 

- (BT) Sail to Mos Le' Harmless and go to the top floor of the northern bar.

 

- (BT) Talk to 50 Ships Mufassah to find out where the idol you need for Bill's task is.

 

- (BH) Talk to Captain Brass Hand Harry, he will give you five hands. Take the fake hands apart and use your wires on them, you will have to complete a simple puzzle to put them back together.

 

- (BH) Talk to Captain Harry again and he will give you ink and paper. Use hand on ink, and then on the paper and voila, your first mark!

 

- (RF) Go back down and talk with Brother Tranquility to get to Harmony Island.

 

- (RF) Ask Brother Tranquility for a letter.

 

- Head back to Port Phasmatys and bank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Items Needed: Ghostspeak amulet, 25 ectotokens, diving apparatus and helmet, inventory under 27 kg

 

- (BT) Talk to the ghost captain and go to Dragontooth Island

 

- (BT) Go northeast and go down the diving chain. (Sorry, no pics, I can't go down there anymore)

 

- (BT) Swim around to find and catch the karamthulu in order to get a key

 

- (BT) Swim onto the ship and go up the stairs. Open the chest for the crowbar.

 

- (BT) Go back down the stairs and go down the ladder. Search through the pile of rotten planks and you will find the idol.

 

- (BT) Go back to Bill Teach as Phasmatys to get mark number two.

 

- Bank.

 

 

 

Items Needed: Brother Tranquility's Letter, Charcoal (Optional). (Recommend: Ectophial, Glory Amulet for Port Sarim or Gold for Charter Ships)

 

- (BD) Ectophial or walk north of Phasmatys to get to Braindeath island by talking to Pirate Pete.

 

- (BD) Talk to Captain Braindeath (the guy running the place) and he will give you disguises, telling you to convince the Port Sarim barkeep to stock his beer.

 

- (RF) Head back to Port Sarim, talk to Redbeard Frank. He will tell you the letter's not good enough and that you should seek out Captain Donnie.

 

- (BD) Ask the Port Sarim barkeeper about 'rum' and he refuse to stock it.

 

- (BD) Buy him around five beers (last chat option) and he should be drunk enough to not recognize you.

 

- (BD) Go out, put on a disguise and ask the barkeep about 'rum' again.

 

- (BD) Repeat this for each of the five disguises and he will agree to stock the beer.

 

- (BD) Head back (Ectophial) to Captain Braindeath on Braindeath and get your third mark.

 

- (RF) Go down the stairs to the south and find Captain Donnie (Zombie) he will give you incomplete plans.

 

- (RF) Use the plans on 50% Luke with charcoal in your inventory. If you didn't bring any, you can get get some from the crates behind the gate.

 

- (RF) Head back to Redbeard Frank for your fourth mark.

 

 

 

Items needed: None (Recommend: Charter)

 

- (IZ) Head over to Izzy No-Beard in Brimhaven Agility Arena (recommend charter ships from Port Sarim) and talk to him. He will tell you to get him a brooch of a dead friend in the prison.

 

- (IZ) Head all the way back to Rimmington, depositing your items and talking to the customs officer to get back into prison.

 

- (IZ) Search your bed for a lock-pick and use it on the door. Head out, kill a guard and put on their clothes.

 

- (IZ) Head to the top floor and enter the room with the filing cabinets. Search them and take the one labeled 'Wanda the Fish.'

 

- (IZ) Trade it to the customs officer for the brooch and either head back to Karamja like before, or home teleport. (The brooch won't disappear.)

 

- (IZ) Head back to Izzy and get your final mark. (That wasn't too long, was it?)

 

 

 

The End!

 

Items needed: The five marks, no other items.

 

- Head all the way back to Rimmington, and talk to the customs officer to get your own file.

 

- Put the marks into the files, give it back, and head back to the prison

 

- Search your bed for a lock-pick and use it on the door. Head out, kill a guard and put on their clothes.

 

- Head to the top floor and enter the room with the filing cabinets. Talk to the officer and ask for your own file.

 

- Go back to your cell and talk to Young Ralph.

 

- Cutscene, and you're done!

[Iglw]

What's in the custom lockers when you thieve them?

 

So far I've gotten various (many) scimitars, pirate clothing, uncut gems, metal bars, gp.

 

And you can get caught by the officers.

 

 

 

Unless there are some rarer items, I haven't gotten anything special yet.

 

 

 

And I don't know about the summoning and hunting rewards.

[Theoknight2]

your guide helped me a lot, but I'd write a couple tips for the hand puzzle. I was stuck for a while simply because the brace piece was flipped over.

[maddudy]

Changed that, thanks.

 

 

 

If any Tip.it admins (or whoever) are reading this, charcoal's also listed as a required item on Tip.it's guide, but then it says to get it from behind the crate. :!:
