Miscellania

Miscellania and Etceteria are two small islands off the northwest coast of the Fremmenik province. Once you have completed the Throne of Miscellania quest, all inhabitants view you as Prince Regent of the island of Miscellania, and they work for you if your popularity is high. If you complete the second quest Royal Trouble both islands will work for you. You need to speak to Advisor Ghrim in Miscellania palace to tell your loyal subjects how to work for you.

The islands are unusual in that the vast majority of "work" that you do improves your popularity rating amongst the islanders, rather than getting you items. For example, if you mine coal, it is automatically given to a worker, and you receive no coal in your inventory or experience for mining it. The notable exceptions are the bush patch, and the spirit tree patch, both used in the Farming skill.

Travel

 * The boat to the south of the island leads to a dock in Rellekka. It is free to use.
 * If you have 83 Farming and have grown a spirit tree here, you can use it to teleport here.

Bank
There is a bank on the northeast side of Etceteria.

Managing your kindgom


You can choose what resources your subjects obtain for you, but you must have money in the coffers and your popularity must be reasonably high. To adjust what your subjects obtain for you, speak to Advisor Ghrim in Miscellania castle. You can also speak to him via the Lunar Magicks spell NPC Contact without having to visit the island.

You gain popularity by "helping" out your subjects in various tasks.
 * Mining coal
 * Cutting Maple Trees
 * Weeding Herbs
 * Fishing

Once you have completed the Royal Trouble quest, you can also do things on the Etceteria side of the island.
 * Cut Teak and Mahogany trees
 * Compost, water, and weed a farming patch.

Once your popularity is at 100%, your subjects will tell you that you have done enough. Mining appears to be the fastest way to improve your popularity, but of course, this may depend on your Mining level.

Every day, the citizens take 10% of the money in the treasury (at a maximum of 75k), and convert it into materials for you to collect. The rewards can be extremely good if you have both high popularity and high amounts of cash in the treasury. For example, with just over half a million invested (around 50k deducted from treasury), a day you might expect to receive 370 coal and 20 herbs if you set mining to maximum and herbs as high as it will go. See image below. All herbs are tarromin or higher, making this a very good investment for your money.



You may put up to 7.5 million coins in the treasury.

Stalls
There are fish and vegetable stalls in the courtyards of Miscellania and Etceteria castles which sell a variety of items. You can also steal from these stalls if your thieving level is high enough, you need
 * Level 2 thieving to steal from the vegetable stalls, possible loot is cabbage, garlic, onion, potato, or tomato.
 * Level 42 thieving to steal from the fish stalls, you receive raw salmon, tuna or lobster.

If you are caught stealing from the stores you cannot buy anything from the stalls for 48 hours.





There is also a flower girl in Miscellania market area who sells coloured flowers for 15 coins each.

Patches
