Captain Ned is an old sailor who lives in a small house in eastern Draynor Village. He plays a part in the Dragon Slayer I and Prince Ali Rescue quests. Players can bring him 15 coins or four balls of wool to make a rope. Alternatively, he sells rope (for 18 coins) at his store, Ned's Handmade Rope (100% Wool).

After The Fremennik Isles, players who buy rope from him will notice that his rope seems funny, and Ned will confess that he actually gets the ropes from Neitiznot by trading balls of wool and doesn't actually make them himself. He will give the player another rope for free in exchange for them keeping quiet about it. He will also rename his store to Ned's Handmade Rope (100% Wool - not yak, honest!) in an attempt to cover up his past deceit.

After completion of The Fremennik Isles quest, players will receive a 10% discount from Ned's shop.
