Draynor Village, often shortened to Draynor, is a small village located between Falador and Lumbridge. The village is featured in many quests, and is a popular training location due to its willows and master farmer.

Lore

The vampyre Count Draynor, formerly of House Drakan, was banished from Morytania by his brother Lord Lowerniel Drakan. The banishment pushed the Count over the River Salve, greatly weakening him[1]. He eventually reached the area that is now Draynor Village, along with his servant, Ruantun. It is unlikely that the village existed at the time of his arrival, given that the village is named after him.

Towards the end of the Fourth Age, Draynor Village grew alongside the rest of Misthalin[2]. With the discovery of runes, the study of magic culminated in the construction of the Wizards' Tower on a small islet south of Draynor Village[3].

As the village grew, the Count terrorised it from his large mansion north of the village. In the year 169, the village was finally freed of the Count by an adventurer, who killed him by pushing a stake through his heart.

Locations

Marketplace

There are several shops in the marketplace:

Skill training spots

In addition to training combat by fighting the various monsters in the village, there are spots in Draynor for players to train Fishing, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Agility, and Thieving:

  • Five willow trees grow in close proximity of each other just south-west of the bank, making it a popular Woodcutting location for free-to-play players. The large open space east of the trees also makes it popular for training Firemaking. Be warned that in-between the trees are two aggressive level 7 dark wizards, who will attack any players under combat level 15. It is therefore not advised to train Woodcutting here with a lower combat.
  • On the shore next to the trees are several net and bait fishing spots, which can be used to catch either shrimps, anchovies, sardines, and herring.
  • The marketplace features two thievable seed stalls and one thievable wine stall. These stalls are guarded by a pair of market guards, who attack players who attempt to steal, or players who talk to any stall owners just after thieving from their stalls. In order to maximise the amount of stalls that can be thieved per hour, it is recommended to trap the two market guards in the Wise Old Man's house. This can be done by attacking them, then walking into the Old Man's house and closing the door with the guards still inside. Players can walk up the stairs in order to remove aggression from the market guards afterwards. Using this method, players can expect much higher experience rates per hour.
  • The Draynor Village Rooftop Course runs all the way around the village, starting at the furthest north-east house and ending at Ned's house. The course requires level 1 Agility to access.
