Walkthrough
Starting out
Note: If you are only looking for the Ring of Charos(a), only doing this section will suffice. You will need 1 free inventory slot and (optional) 2 compost of any kind. Your watering can must be able to water a total of 1 sapling.
- Talk to Ellamaria at the garden east of Varrock Palace. (
)
- Optionally you could place your compost early in the 2 empty plant pots north to save inventory spaces after speaking to Ellamaria.
- Talk to Ellamaria again to obtain the trolley. ( )
- Talk to the Wise Old Man in Draynor Village north of the bank with the ring of charos. ( )
- Quiz answers:
- Show them a range of colours so that they can come to a compromise.
- Take his generous gift even though you have no need for it.
- It's absolutely, unquestionably the most interesting thing I've ever done!
- Put on the silly helmet and jump into the cannon.
- You of course Pkmaster0036, no one could ever challenge your greatness!
- Ask me nicely and I might consider it.
- No, especially not that wise old man, who doesn't look at all suspicious.
Gathering seeds
- See to the survival of your crops as you see fit.
- Always have on you: a rake, seed dibber, spade, secateurs, watering can, gardening trowel, and ring of charos(a). You may use the tool leprechauns by the patches.
- Equip the ring of charos(a).
- Note: You must speak to the farmers before planting the crops, whilst wearing the Ring of charos. No crops may be planted in advance. If you do not wear the Ring of Charos, it will count as if you planted the crops before speaking to them, and you'll have to plant and grow the required crops again.

- Talk to Elstan. ( •••••)
- Grow marigolds in the patch (Ultracompost highly recommended).
