RuneScape/Desert Treasure

Desert Treasure is arguably the hardest quest in the MMORPG RuneScape. It is extremely challengning, and time-consuming (possibly up to 5 hours or more), yet the reward is great - access to Ancient Magicks.

It really isnt very difficult but it will require some half way decent stats. To start the quest u will need to complete the troll stronghold, the tourist trap, the temple of ikov, priest in peril and the digsite quest. To start the quest u go to the archeologist in the desert south west of the shanty pass. Or you can pay the rug merchant 200gp to ride there. talk to him and he will tell u to go to a guy in the digsite arena. Go to the examiner there and ask him to examine the thing the archeologist gave u. talk to the examiner again and he will give u a book u need to take to the archeologist. Tell the archeologist to translate the book u gave him. He will then tell u to go search the bandit village south of where your at. Make sure u have 650gp and go talk to the bartender in bandit village. Buy the beer and ask him about the 4 diamonds. After u get all his information go talk to eblis who is over near the general store. She will tell u about the four crystals and tell u to meet u a little bit south east of where ur at. When u find her she will be standing in the middle of 6 mirrors. Each of the mirrors gives a hint to where the 4 gems are. But two of the mirrors are false.

Gem #1 Teleport to ardounge or to camelot and go talk to the guy west of the fishing guild named rufus or something. His name starts with and R but i cant remember it. But after u talk to him he will tell u bandits stole an item from him. From there tell him that u will get the item back in return for the gem. he will agree. Now teleport to as close as u can get to the desert with all the bandits. IF u have lock picks bring them otherwise u need 53 thieving to thieve the bandits to get lock picks. The chest that is south of the bar in a little hut will poison u when u fail to open it. This part can be very time consuming. Bring some food if u dont have any locks picks and start thieving bandits until u get one. THe bandits also give antio-poison pots that will be useful when u fail to open the chest. keep thieving until u have a lockpick and go attempt to pick the lock on the chest. The chest will eventually open and u will get the item out. Take the item back to Rufus or whatever his name is and he will give u a ring of visibility. Equip the ring and go to the park right next to him. there will be a ladder here. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED that u bring food and armor or whatever. THe monster ur about to fight has been seen to hit up to 28. BRing half a load of food and half a load of prayer pots. When u have all the items go back to the ladder and climb down it. Walk until a guy named damis pops up. THe first form of him is very easy just kill him and be prepared. MAKE SURE you have on ur prayer the whole time walking through this dungeon type deal. The Second form of Damis will pop up make sure u pray and dose on prayer pots because this guy drains prayer VERY fast. i looked at it and it was draining 2 prayer every second. The method i used was entangle him and range him from a distance. IT took me a while to kill him but i got through it. But i was also 81 range when i did it. Dispose of him and get the diamond.

Gem #2 Go to canifis and go into the bar. Talk to malak and he will tell u about a vampire that has the next diamond.
