In the quest guide, it doesn't say until mid paragraph that you need a cow bell:

 

Speak to them to find that they need instruments they can play without thumbs - bongos and a cowbell. Leave and speak to Larry again to find out where to get these instruments. He will suggest you steal a cowbell from a dairy cow, then make bongos from soft leather and mahogany. Head to any dairy cow (there's one in Lumbridge) and steal its cowbell.

 

Having already been to Lumbridge twice for the quest, it would have been much more time efficient to have known this was a "Required Item." Then, I could have obtained the cow bell on one of my trips to Lumby, and wouldn't be heading back there now.

 

I am sure anyone who does this quest in the future, using the Tip.It guide, will appreciate not having to go back unnecessarily.

 

Thank you for your time,

Are you sure you can steal a bell before asked for it? I am pretty sure it says something like "you have no reason to steal a bell from a cow".

rofl, why wouldn't that surprise me :blink:

Thank you for the answer :oops:

Thanks for submitting this, Tzara! However, Amonitas is correct that the cowbell can only be obtained after you are instructed to do so. So in this case, it does indeed require another trip to Lumbridge. Thanks again for the submission, the crew always appreciates users' input. :thumbup:
