Walkthrough

Starting the Quest

• Speak to Ali Morrisane in Al Kharid. ( 2)…

  2

  Yes

  • If you haven't completed Rune Mysteries, you will not be able to do the Runes portion.
  • If you haven't completed Icthlarin's Little Helper, you will not be able to do the Clothes portion.

Runes

The "sudoku" puzzle that must be solved to open the large casket.

Items required: Nothing.

• Speak to Aubury at the rune shop in Varrock. ( 5)…

  5	Actually, I'm here with a business proposal from Ali Morrisane.

• Return to Ali Morrisane and talk to him.( 1)…

  1	I would like to look at your selection of runes.

• Open a casket. Note: You do not have to purchase the unknown runes to unlock them in Ali's store.
  • Be aware to fully unlock the store, you must complete BOTH types of caskets at least once.
• If you wish to unlock elemental runes for purchase from Ali, speak to him and open a small casket. ( 2)…

  2	Try opening a small casket of runes

  • For those with high Strength, force open the casket. ( 1)…

    1	Force box.

  • For those with high Thieving, pick the lock. ( 2)…

    2	Pick lock.

• If you wish to unlock catalytic runes for purchase from Ali, speak to him and open a large casket. ( 2•3)…

  2	Try opening a large casket of runes.
  3	Examine lock.

  • You CANNOT force or pick-lock large caskets. When you examine the lock, you will be met with a Sudoku puzzle of runes. No two runes of the same type are allowed in the same row, column, or 3x3 grid.
  • Solve the puzzle, then click on "open casket" when finished. Check the Rogue Trader in-depth guide for assistance.
    • A quick way to solve this puzzle is to assign each different rune a number (i.e. air = 1, water = 2, etc.) and then plug the initial runes into an automatic Sudoku solver.

You can return to Ali to unlock more caskets and purchase random amounts of runes at a discount. Viewing the unknown runes before purchase reduces this discount.

Blackjacks

The following process unlocks offensive blackjacks for sale.

• Return to the blackjack seller and talk to him. He will attempt to knock you out twice; this will damage the player. If you get knocked out, keep talking to him. ( 1•2•1)…

  1	I bet you couldn't knock me out with your blackjack.
  2	I'm sure. No pain, no gain. Grrr!
  1	Go again.
