Type | Island | |||
Aldarin is a large island off the south-west coast of Varlamore. It is a lush and luxurious location, inhabited by wealthy citzens who live in villas, though its rocky south and west coasts are inhabited by dwarves and bandits.
The island is most known for the famous Moonrise Brewery and Winery, the oldest producer of alcohol in Varlamore. It is also home to the main facility of the Alchemical Society, an organisation of herbalists who fuse techniques left behind by the Old Ones with traditional druidic practices to advance the study of Herblore.
Transportation
There are several ways to reach Aldarin:
- Using the western ship from Sunset Coast. Requires paying Antonia 20 coins.
- Using the Quetzal Transport System.
- Using charter ships.
- Casting Teleport to house if the player-owned house is in Aldarin; otherwise a Teleport to house tablet with a Scroll of redirection (requiring 35 construction), or the Construction cape.
- Using Fairy Ring CKQ.
- North Aldarin teleport via the Pendant of ates (Requires completion of Death on the Isle and subsequent activation of the North Aldarin statue).
Points of interest
Alchemical Society lab
In the main facility of the Alchemical Society, the player can partake in the Mastering Mixology minigame that offers Herblore experience and unlocks several related rewards, such as the prescription goggles, reagent pouch, potion storage, chugging barrel, alchemist's amulet and several potion packs. Aldarium can also be bought from here, which is a secondary ingredient for goading and prayer regeneration potions.
Villa Lucens
The largest villa on the island. Owned by Constantinius, the quest Death on the Isle takes place here.
Market
Contains a house portal and three shops:
Moonrise Brewery and Winery
The Moonrise Brewery and Winery is famously known for their unmatchable variety of wines that are sold at Moonrise Wines, and also own the Sunlight's Sanctum pub just east.
The facility possesses a fermenting vat that is usable by players, as well as a large field of grapevines which can be harvested when ripe if you have a grape barrel in your inventory, which can be obtained after talking to the vineyard foreman. After picking ripe grapes from 4 bushes, the player may hand in the full grape barrel to the vineyard foreman, which will reward the player with 5 noted grapes.
Mistrock
A mining outpost located on the southern coast of Aldarin. Overseer Khougo manages the operations there.
A bank can be found here, as well as many maple trees and yew trees. There are three shops found here:
Mysterious Nest
There is a nest that sits at the top of the windmill that players can interact with, similar to that of the Woodcutting Guild. Instead of using eggs from bird nests, players can use any item from their inventory on the nest, and upon world-hopping or relogging, players may retrieve a different item to that they input.
Darkmoon Ravine
Darkmoon Ravine is currently an inaccessible area on the west side of the island. There are a few bandits roaming the area. There is also a jug of wine in one of the buildings, and some seaweed on the north coast, one of which can be telegrabbed.
Sunlight's Sanctum
Sunlight's Sanctum is a pub opposite to the Aldarin bank near the fountain in the centre of Aldarin. Owned by the Moonrise Brewery and Winery, they provide travellers with meals and a large variety of alcholic drinks.
Resources
- Three magic trees are located along the north-western coast of the isle, and three yew trees are located along the north-eastern coast.
- Two yew trees and 27 maple trees can be found around Mistrock. These are notably only about 10-15 tiles from a bank.
- A hops patch is located directly next to the fairy ring.
- A mining site exists on the south end of the island to the east of Mistrock, containing 5 gold rocks, 5 silver rocks, 6 coal rocks, and 8 iron rocks.
- A wheat field and windmill are directly next to the Quetzal Transportation System waypoint.
- Ruby harvests may be caught to the west of the vineyard, and copper longtails may be caught to the north.
- The north coast of the island has fishing spots for small net and bait fishing as well as the south coast for cage and harpoon fishing.

Charter ship
The charter ships also have a dock in the harbour in Aldarin. It provides rides to several other locations. After completing Cabin Fever, the charter ship fare is reduced by 50%. Wearing the ring of charos(a) also reduces the fare by 50%. These two bonuses can be stacked to reduce the cost to 25%.

Trivia
- The mysterious nest atop the windmill is likely a reference to Dark Souls' Hawk Girl, who is known by the larger community as Snuggly the Crow. Players can exchange certain items with Snuggly by dropping them by her nest and reloading the area.
