Description	Trolls love goutweed. They love it so much that they've picked it all, and now they can't get any more.

Walkthrough

The adventurer

Items needed: Climbing boots or 12 coins

• Go to the Troll Stronghold, head south then downstairs into the kitchen (fairycode AJR and enter from the back through the secret door where you freed the prisoners, or utilise a slayer ring and enter the mountain through the secret entrance, or Trollheim teleport and go west).
• Speak to Burntmeat. ( 1•2)…

  1	What do you want now?
  2	Alright, I'll lend him a hand.

• Talk to My Arm, east of Burntmeat.

Getting the goutweed

Items needed: Three buckets of Ugthanki dung, seven buckets of supercompost (or 7 supercompost stored in the Tool Leprechaun), a spade, climbing boots, empty bucket (no need to bring one, there is one south of the Death Plateau cooking pot), at least one free inventory slot.

• Reach the Death Plateau. (Games necklace or minigame teleport to Burthorpe). There will be thrower trolls on the way there and on the plateau itself; protect from ranged.
• Use a bucket on the cooking pot in the middle of the plateau with 1 free inventory space to get the goutweedy lump.
  • A bucket spawns south of the cooking pot, if you forgot to bring one.
• Go back to the Troll Stronghold and talk to My Arm.
• After he brings you to a new area, talk to him again.
• After reading the book he gave you, talk to him again.
• Use three buckets of Ugthanki dung and seven buckets of supercompost on the soil patch.
• Talk to My Arm.
• Talk to Captain Barnaby. ( 1)…

  1	This is My Arm. We'd like to go to Karamja.

Getting the tubers

Items needed: None if you already have 60% favour in Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup. If not, you'll need a machete, or at least 60 coins to buy one from the store north-west of the village.

Note: If you plan on completing Karamja medium task diary, you may want to consider getting 100% favour first as you will lose the 60% here.

• Meet up with My Arm at Tai Bwo Wannai, east of the general store. Talk to him.
• Talk to Murcaily near the hardwood grove. Make sure you have at least 1 free inventory space. ( 1)…

  1	A troll called My Arm wants a favour...

  • If Murcaily cannot be found, log out and log back in.
  • If you don't have 60% favour, raise it to 60% at least and talk to him again (you can't start the quest if you don't have 60% favour).
• After the cutscene speak to My Arm, you will take the boat back to Ardougne where you can access the bank.

Teaching a troll to farm

Items needed: Hardy gout tubers, 17 coins or a rake, seed dibber, plant cure, spade, climbing boots and optionally, supercompost or ultracompost (Bottomless Compost Bucket will not work). Remember to bring food for the boss fight to save time.

• Prepare yourself for a level 75 fight and a level 172 fight.
• Go back to the roof of the Troll Stronghold by using ladder in the west room on the upper level where the Troll Generals are.
  • Note: Obtain a spade from the Tool leprechaun if you do not already have one.
• Talk to My Arm.
• Give My Arm the tools he needs for farming in this order:
  • Rake (if My Arm breaks the rake, pick up the pieces, reassemble it, and give it back to him)
  • Supercompost/Ultracompost (Optional. If ultracompost/supercompost is not used, the patch may become diseased and will need to be cured. Regular compost has no effect.)
  • Hardy gout tubers
  • Seed dibber
  • Plant cure (if patch becomes diseased)

This fight takes place in an instanced area.

On death, all unprotected items will be moved to a grave outside the instance. Any items left on the ground will be lost.

• Talk to My Arm.
• Defeat the two monsters.
  • Note: It is possible to dodge the Giant Roc's attacks by moving back and forth between tiles, but it is not possible to dodge its stun attack.

The end

• Talk to My Arm.
• Give him a spade (if you don't have one, you can go back down and up the ladder to get the leprechaun to reappear).
• Go back to Burntmeat in the kitchen.
• Talk to My Arm on the roof.
• Congratulations, quest complete!
