Karamjan rum

Karamjan rum is the local drink of Karamja. It can be bought from Karamja Wines, Spirits, and Beers shop on Karamja and the Dead Man's Chest in Brimhaven. Members can use the rum on a piece of silk to create a cleaning cloth, which is used to remove poison from weapons.

Drinking the rum heals 5 Hitpoints and also boosts Strength equal to 1 + 5% of the player's base Strength level, rounded down. Drinking it also temporarily lowers the drinker's Attack equal to 3 + 2% of the player's current Attack level, rounded down. Upon drinking the rum, the chatbox displays the message You drink the rum. You feel slightly reinvigorated... ...and slightly dizzy too..

Smuggling Karamjan rum off Karamja and giving it to Redbeard Frank is the primary focus of the Pirate's Treasure quest. It also plays a smaller role in the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest, where it needs to be combined with sliced banana to create a special banana rum requested by Tinsay. Note that if a player does not slice the banana before placing it in the bottle, they will in fact place the entire banana in it and receive the amusing line, "You stuff the banana in the neck of the bottle. You begin to wonder why." This makes the rum into a useless item, as the banana cannot be removed.

The primary method is the one used during Pirate's Treasure. Players obtain a job at the local banana plantation, fill the crate outside the shack with bananas, and use the rum with the filled crate. Later they can retrieve it in Port Sarim. This can only be done during the quest.

If the player tries to put another bottle of Karamjan rum into the crate before receiving payment from Luthas, they will get the message "there's already some rum in here..." in their chatbox.

There are multiple other ways to smuggle the rum out of Karamja:

• Taking the rum to Cairn Isle by crossing the log balance and stepping stones shortcuts and running west against the edge of the Kharazi Jungle, and sailing away on a boat.

• Using the rocks shortcut (requiring level 79 Agility) to enter Shilo Village and bank it.

• Find a crop circle in Brimhaven, use it to enter Puro-Puro, drop the rum inside, and then enter Puro-Puro from elsewhere to pick up the rum and leave with it.

• Drop the rum inside the nature altar, enter a match of Guardians of the Rift, use the Guardian of Nature to enter the nature altar from the minigame, and pick up the rum. Exiting the altar puts you back into the minigame, where you can leave and bank it just outside.

• Participating in a Woodcutting Leprechaun Forestry event on Karamja and using its banking service to send rum to the bank.^{[confirmation needed]}

• Let your membership expire while standing in a members-only part of Karamja with rum in your inventory. When it expires, you will be removed from the area and placed in Lumbridge with the rum.

Most methods of taking the rum off the island are restricted, and will result in the rum being confiscated or destroyed, while some will simply prevent the player from using it at all.

• If the player travels with the Customs officer off of the island, they will confiscate it. While a player can charm the Customs officer into not doing so while wearing the Ring of Charos(a), the player will still not be able to get it off the island as they dance for joy and the rum falls out of their backpack, destroying it.

• Trader Crewmembers will not let the player take a charter ship if they have rum on them, saying "I'm afraid we can't take you anywhere if you're trying to smuggle that rum."

• Attempting to set sail on your own boat from Musa Point or Brimhaven will display the message "The nearby customs agent stops you from using the dock facilities with Karamjan rum in your backpack."

• Teleporting with the rum in the inventory (including using spirit trees, fairy rings, or even being teleported by a random event) will result in the rum being destroyed, with the message Your Karamjan rum gets broken and spilled.

• Travelling on the Lady of the Waves, the player will lose the rum and receive the message During the trip you lose your rum to a sailor in a game of dice. Better luck next time!

• Using the gnome glider in the south-east will result in Captain Klemfoodle fooling the player and stealing the rum from them.

• Attempting to take the rum on the ogre boat results in the ogre kids saying that Rantz told them that they will get in trouble for smuggling rum, so they refuse to transport the player.

• A monkey will steal the rum if the player attempts to take the Shilo Village cart system from Brimhaven to Shilo Village.

• Attempting to climb over the broken cart outside the village will result in the player dropping the rum and destroying it, whether they climb the cart themselves or ask Mosol Rei to take them inside.

• Entering the cave entrance in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon to Mor Ul Rek will cause the bottles in the player's inventory to explode, dealing 1 damage per bottle along with the message Your Karamja^[sic] Rum explodes in the heat!

• Rionasta will refuse to send rum through the parcel system, displaying the message The villager refuses to send this through the parcel system.

• Attempting to bank the rum via an imp-in-a-box, the imp will respond: "Don't you know? You can get into trouble for giving alcohol to minors, and I'm pretty small, it has to be said."

• Attempting to cast Telekinetic Grab on rum displays the message You feel that telegrabbing that goes against the spirit of smuggling.
