Magpie

''This article is about the summoning familiar. For the impetuous impulses impling, see Magpie Impling.''



The Magpie is a Summoning familiar. To summon a Magpie requires level 47 Summoning and a Magpie pouch, granting 0.9 Summoning experience.

Magpie Pouch
A Magpie Pouch is created by using a pouch on a summoning obelisk, with a Green Charm, 88 spirit shards, and 1 Gold Ring in the inventory, gaining 83.2 Summoning experience. If you exchange these pouches with Bogrog you will get 62 Spirit Shards.

Thieving fingers scroll
The Thieving Fingers Scroll temporarily increases your level in Thieving by 2, and is activated by using a Thieving Fingers scroll.

Foraging
Magpies are foragers attracted to shiny and precious objects and will gather any they see while travelling.

The items it forages can range from Sapphire to Diamond jewellery, uncut gems, rings, and enchanted rings. Magpies can find and store up to 30 pieces of jewellery before emptying is needed.

Magpies are excellent familiars for use where no familiar is otherwise neccessary. The items collected make nice profit, also with bought pouches.

Translations

 * There's nowt gannin on here... (There's nothing going on here...)
 * Howway, let's gaan see what's happenin' in toon. (Come on, let's go and see what's happening in town.)
 * Are we gaan oot soon? I'm up fer a good walk me. (Are we going out soon? I'm up for a good walk.)
 * Ye' been plowdin' i' the claarts aall day. (this has yet to be confirmed as to what it actually is.)

Trivia

 * The Magpie's dialogue is a reference to the Geordie dialect, which is very thick and difficult for some people to understand. The connection between the Magpie and the accent is that Newcastle United (the area where the Geordie accent is prevalent) are nicknamed the "Magpies" due to the traditional black and white colour of their Kit.
 * The player character's response "that was just noise" references the BBC comedy series I'm Alan Partridge. In a conversation with his hotel's (Geordie) handyman Michael, Alan responds "I'm sorry, that was just a noise. All I got there was broken homes. And a broken home is not an excuse for evil."
