QUEST 99 · MEMBERS
Recently, farmers around Gielinor have been noticing some trouble with their farming patches. They just don't seem to have the same yields as before. What could be the source of this malady?
Talk to Martin the Master Gardener by the pig pen in Draynor Village.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE BANK
Requirements are gates. Recommendations are comfort and risk controls, not mandatory levels unless the game enforces them.
ACTION CHECKLIST
Nested rows are alternatives, dialogue selections, or substeps under the action above them. Recheck the pinned source after a game update.
Talk to Martin the Master Gardener in Draynor Village. Dialogue: Quest. → Anything I can help with? → Now that I think about it, you're right!
Note: Do not pickpocket Martin or you won't be able to continue for 10 minutes of in-game time.
Talk to 5 Group of Advanced Gardeners members. They are any of the gardeners found near farming patches that tend to your crops. Any of them will work except for Ayesha in Al Kharid, and ones found on Great Kourend. Note: The following is a suggested path you can take to speak to farmers quickly:
Run north-west and talk to Elstan Allotment/Flower/Herb patch. Dialogue: Are you a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners?
If you do not have secateurs or a spade, buy them from the Sarah in the building next to the cabbage patch.
Run south and talk to Frizzy Skernip. Dialogue: Are you a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners?
GE spirit tree teleport to Gnome Stronghold, run east and talk to Bolongo. Dialogue: Are you a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners?
Run south-west and talk to Prissy Scilla at the tree patch. Dialogue: Are you a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners?
Teleport to Falador, run east to the park and talk to Heskel at the tree patch. (Ring of wealth's Falador teleport option takes you there directly). Dialogue: Are you a member of the Group of Advanced Gardeners?
Return to the Draynor Village market and talk to Martin. Dialogue: Quest.
Travel to Zanaris (with your dramen staff or Lunar staff equipped, enter the small shack south of Lumbridge Castle in Lumbridge Swamp). (If you need to collect the spade, enter the shack without the staff equipped first and collect it).
Run to the throne room and Talk to the Fairy Godfather. Dialogue: Where's the Fairy Queen?
Run north of the bank and talk to Fairy Nuff to get the symptoms list.
Speak to Zandar Horfyre on the top floor of the Dark Wizards' Tower just north of the Makeover mage.
Speak to Malignius Mortifer, the necromancer north-west of Port Sarim's rune shop to give him the Draynor skull and receive the list of three required items. Dialogue: I need help with fighting a Tanglefoot.
If you do not have secateurs or a spade, buy them from the farm shop to the north-east.
If you do not have the Draynor skull, travel to Draynor Manor and use a spade on the grave north of the building, but within the fence to receive the Draynor skull.
Collect the 3 randomly-picked items. Check the quest journal to see your list of items to collect.
Travel to the Nature Grotto in Mort Myre Swamp (use Shades of Mort'ton minigame teleport, go west, then follow the winding path north over the bridge), equip your Ghostspeak amulet and talk to the Nature Spirit inside to receive the Magic secateurs.
Travel to Zanaris with your Magic secateurs and prepare for the Tanglefoot fight.
Run south of the wheat fields to the Cosmic Altar and squeeze-through the gap in the western wall.
Equip your Magic secateurs, run to the end of the tunnel and defeat Tanglefoot. (Turn on Protect from Melee if you have the level for it. You can also lure the Tanglefoot around the mushrooms to the east to be able to flinch it.)
Pick up the Queen's secateurs.
Talk to the Fairy Godfather.
Congratulations, quest complete!
