My Arm's Big Adventure

[Jaffy1]

[spoiler=Submission]While helping a friend with this quest I noticed things he read in the Quest guide here aren't exactly what you'd call helpful.. There's definitly some things that ought to be changed (in my humble opinion).

 

Quest guide: My Arm's Big Adventure

 

Let's start with Items Required:

 

Items: 7 Supercomposts, Seed Dibber, Rake, Spade OR all these supplies stored at a Farming Tool Leprechaun (you will not get them back). You'll also need Climbing Boots, 3 Buckets (for Ugthanki Dung), Plant Cure and the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Mini Game materials

 

You dó get the items back. Suggestion:

 

Items: 7 Supercompost, Seed Dibber, Rake, Spade (or to have this stored at your Tool Leprechauns). You'll also need a pair of Climbing Boots, 3 buckets, some Plant Cure, and the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Mini Game materials if you don't already have more than 60% favour.

 

Suggested:

Quests: Enakhra's Lament

 

Skills: Level 61 Magic (For Trollheim Teleport)

 

Items: Trollheim Teleport, Games Necklace, Camulet, Plant Cure, Good Food, Good Armor, Good Weapon, Prayer Potions

 

I also have a few remarks here. Prayer potions are absolutely not something you should bring because the Giant Roc hits through all three protective prayers. Boosting prayers can be used without having to use prayer potions if the player has any form of semi-decent prayer level. Bringing prayer potions serves no purpose but to waste space that could be used for food. You might also notice I added Shilo Village, that should be clear if you read on.

 

 

Suggestion:

Quests: Enakhra's Lament, Shilo Village

 

Skills: Level 61 Magic (for Trollheim Teleport)

 

Items: Several Trollheim Teleports (2-3 should do), Camulet, Dramen or Lunar Staff, charged Amulet of Glory, decent food (monkfish or better recommended), decent armour and a high hitting weapon. If you're below 61 magic and do not have Fairy Ring access, a Games Necklace might be helpful.

 

 

1: Meeting My Arm

 

Items Required: None

Items Suggested: Trollheim Teleport

 

Head into the Troll Stronghold via whatever means you have available to you. Burntmeat is in the kitchen, which is the southmost room, a floor above the goutweed. Talk to Burntmeat and you will see a cutscene of Burntmeat cooking an Adventurer. Here you will find out that the Adventurer has been growing Goutweed, which Burntmeat swears is impossible. He will mention Murcaily in Tai Bwo Wannai Village. Burntmeat will then introduce you to My Arm, who wishes to learn to farm.

 

I left out a quote of the second step because in my opinion it's nonsense. Considering there is no use in banking between steps 1, 2 and 3, my suggestion is as follows:

 

1: Meeting My Arm

 

Items Required: Climbing boots, Bucket

Items Suggested: Trollheim Teleports, Dramen/Lunar staff, Amulet of Glory (charged)

 

Head into the Troll Stronghold via whatever means you have available to you (recommended is teleporting to Trollheim or using Fairy Ring code A J R). Burntmeat is in the kitchen, which is the southmost room, a floor above the goutweed. Talk to Burntmeat and you will see a cutscene of Burntmeat cooking an Adventurer. Here you will find out that the Adventurer has been growing Goutweed, which Burntmeat swears is impossible. He will mention Murcaily in Tai Bwo Wannai Village. Burntmeat will then introduce you to My Arm, who wishes to learn to farm.

 

 

2: Retrieval Service

 

Now talk to My Arm, who is southeast of Burntmeat, and he will explain his name, then say he wishes for you to get the "Goutweedy lump" from the cauldron of Dung and Ash. Talk to Burntmeat for more in depth instructions. If you ask for directions, you'll view a cutscene showing you exactly how to get to Death Plateau. You can simply walk there as it's not far from where you are.

 

 

After this piece of text, step 3 can be added without a subheading. In fact this is skipping the nonsense that is step 2. Also I added amulet of glory to the suggesed items with regard to the next step which requires one to teleport to Al Kharid. There is no banking in between.

 

Alright, on to step 4-7

 

4: Soil Preparation

 

Items Required: 3 Buckets, 7 Supercomposts, Spade

Items Suggested: Camulet, Trollheim Teleport

 

My Arm will present you with Farmer Gricoller's Farming Manual, which is a guide on farming. At the end it shows what combinations of compost and dung are good for specific areas. If you look at the Mountain entry, you will find that you need 7 buckets of supercompost and 3 buckets of camel dung. Talk to My Arm again to gain permission to fertilize the Soil Patch. Be sure to withdraw 3 buckets from the Leprechaun at this point if you do not have them with you! There are two ways to get the necessary camel dung:

 

Through any means of transportation, get to Pollnivneach. Head to Ali the Kebab Seller, and ask to buy some of his special sauce. Put this in the nearby camel trough, then use your 3 buckets on the dung.

If you have done Enakhra's Lament and have a Camulet, teleport to Al Kharid. Have your three buckets ready and wear your Camulet. Talk to Ali the Camel near the bank, Elly the Camel near Ali Morrisane, or Ollie the Camel by the oasis north of town. Ask about dung. The camel will do the job. Click the dung (don't worry - your bucket will be used!) quickly. If you are fast, you can get all 3 at once (if not, you can ask the camel again and repeat the process. You may need to wait a few minutes and ask again if this camel gets tired, or just visit the other camel.)

Return to the rooftop of the Stronghold, and take a Spade and 7 Supercompost from the Leprechaun (if you haven't stored these with a Tools leprechaun, be sure to bring them along!). Use each bucket on the soil patch, turning it into a New Farming Patch.

 

 

Suggestion:

3: Soil Preparation

 

Items Required: 3 Buckets, 7 Supercomposts, Spade

Items Suggested: Camulet, Trollheim Teleport, Amulet of Glory (charged), 20 Gp

 

My Arm will present you with Farmer Gricoller's Farming Manual, which is a guide on farming. At the end it shows what combinations of compost and dung are good for specific areas. If you look at the Mountain entry, you will find that you need 7 buckets of supercompost and 3 buckets of camel dung. Talk to My Arm again to gain permission to fertilize the Soil Patch. Be sure to withdraw 3 buckets from the Leprechaun at this point if you do not have them with you! The Leprechaun also sells Plant Cure. There are two ways to get the necessary camel dung:

 

1. Use your Amulet of Glory to teleport to Al Kharid. If you have done Enakhra's Lament and have a Camulet, have your three buckets ready and talk to Ali the Camel near the bank, Elly the Camel near Ali Morrisane, or Ollie the Camel by the oasis north of town. Ask about dung. The camel will do the job. Use your three buckets on the dung that appeared on the floor.

 

2. Through any means of transportation, get to Pollnivneach. Head to Ali the Kebab Seller, and ask to buy some of his special sauce. Put this in the nearby camel trough, then use your 3 buckets on the dung.

 

Return to the rooftop of the Stronghold, and take a Spade and 7 Supercompost from the Leprechaun (if you haven't stored these with a Tools leprechaun, be sure to bring them along!). Use each bucket on the soil patch, turning it into a New Farming Patch.

 

 

 

 

5: Travels

 

Items Required: Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Mini Game Materials

Items Suggested: Antipoison Potions

 

Talk to My Arm, and he will tell you it is time to visit Murcaily like Burntmeat said. He will take you to Ardougne Docks, where you get to confuse Captain Barnaby. After a while, he will allow you onto the ship, and you will get a cutscene of the ride over, with My Arm complaining along the way.

 

 

Upon your arrival, My Arm will run off, telling you to meet him in Tai Bwo Wannai, so head down. Look for My Arm east of Jiminua's general store. If you cannot find My Arm, talk to Murcaily asking if he has seen him.

 

 

Murcaily will tell you to look along the path between Brimhaven and Tai Bwo Wannai. You will find My Arm slightly east of the general store.

 

 

My Arm will send you back to Murcaily, who will tell you that gout tubers only grow well in hot areas, not mountains.

 

I combined steps 5 and 6 (which I called 4 and 5) as well as corrected the spelling. In the Quest guide, American spelling for the word "favour" is used whereas RuneScape spells it in proper British English. It looks very sloppy (in my opinion) to see the spelling in screenshot and text deviate.

 

Suggestion:

 

4: Travels

 

Items Required: Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Mini Game Materials (only if you don't already have more than 60% favour in the Mini Game)

Items Suggested: Antipoison Potion

 

Talk to My Arm, and he will tell you it is time to visit Murcaily like Burntmeat said. He will take you to Ardougne Docks, where you get to confuse Captain Barnaby. After a while, he will allow you onto the ship, and you will get a cutscene of the ride over, with My Arm complaining along the way.

 

Upon your arrival, My Arm will run off, telling you to meet him in Tai Bwo Wannai, so head down. Note: you could bank in Shilo Village to get your required materials by paying 10 Gp to Hajedy to ride on his cart. Look for My Arm east of Jiminua's general store. If you cannot find My Arm, talk to Murcaily asking if he has seen him.

 

My Arm will send Murcaily, who will tell you that gout tubers only grow well in hot areas, not mountains.

 

 

5: Obtaining the Tuber

 

If you already have 60% favour achieved in the Tai Bwo Wannai Mini Game, Murcaily will give you a hardy gout tuber, saying it grows very quickly, but warning you it could still become diseased. A cutscene will play, showing My Arm making a "Rumble in da Jungle". Murcaily will become so frightened of My Arm that he will give you a large supply of tubers. Talk to My Arm (you appear just south of him) and he will tell you that you should stop in the bank to prepare for a fight with the big bird. He will lead you to the boat again, and once again you will have a cutscene of both of you sailing.

 

If yo do not have sufficient favour, Murcaily will tell you that they might be willing to give My Arm a hardy gout tuber if you were to accumulate 60% favour. You must do the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup Mini Game and after you accumulated enough you can talk to Murcaily again as described above.

 

 

7: The Battle

 

Items Required: Rake, Hardy Tubers, Seed Dibber, Plant Cure, Spade

Items Suggested: Good Food (Monkfish or above), Prayer Potions, Good Armor and Weapon

 

Head to the rooftop with all your armor ready. My Arm will want to tend the patch himself, so give him a rake to weed the plot, then the hardy tubers, then finally the seed dibber. After he has planted the tubers, a cutscene will begin, showing a Drunken Dwarf walking up to My Arm. My Arm will punch him, and another Troll will take him as food. The Goutweed might be diseased at this point, so give My Arm your plant cure. Be ready for battle, as soon as you give it to him, the birds will notice the farming, and a Baby Roc, level 75, will come flying in.

 

 

Kill it, it's a quick battle.

 

 

Shortly after, a much larger Giant Roc (level 172) will fly in.

 

 

It attacks with Melee, Range, and Mage, the Mage attack stunning you temporarily. Range Protect with a good Melee armor is an excellent way to fight it. If you stand next to the rocks, the Giant Roc cannot blow you away, allowing you to quickly attack again after being stunned.

 

Suggestion:

6: The Battle

 

Items Required: Rake, Hardy Tebers, Seed dibber, Plant Cure, Spade

Items Suggested: Trollheim Teleport, decent food (Monkfish, Sharks, etc), decent armour and a decent weapon.

 

Teleport back to Trollheim and head to the rooftop with your armour at the ready. My Arm will want to tend the patch himself, so give him a rake to weed the plot, then the hardy tubers, then finally the seed dibber by using them on him. After he has planted the tubers, a cutscene will begin, showing a Drunken Dwarf walking up to My Arm. My Arm will punch him, and another Troll will take him as food. The Goutweed might be diseased at this point, so give My Arm your plant cure. Be prepared for battle, as soon as you give it to him, the birds will notice the farming, and a Baby Roc, level 75, will come flying in.

 

The Baby Roc is easy to kill, but shortly after a much larger Giant Roc (level 172) comes to take the herbs.

It attacks with Melee, Ranged, and Magic, the Magic attack stunning you temporarily but hardly doing any damage. Range Protect with a good Melee armour is possible way to fight it, however no matter which protective prayer you use, it can still hurt you considerably. If you stand next to the rocks (in the corner if you will), the Giant Roc cannot blow you away with its Magic attack (throwing you bacl), allowing you to quickly attack again after being stunned.

 

 

Of course the final step (8) could be called step 7.. Hope this helps. <3:
