Lunar Diplomacy

Meet the Pirates
Note: Bring a tinderbox for this part of the quest.
 * Talk to Lokar Searunner on the westernmost dock of Rellekka, west of the wide dock to Miscellania and Etceteria.
 * He will talk about his life as a pirate and the Moon Clan. To visit the Moon Clan, he will tell you to obtain a Seal of passage, which will allow you to safely travel and stay on the Lunar Isle.


 * Go to the Rellekka Longhall Bar, and speak with Brundt the Chieftain to get a Seal of passage.
 * Keep it in your inventory whenever you are on the Lunar Islands or related places, or you will be teleported back to Relleka.


 * Talk to Lokar again to sail to the Pirates' Cove.
 * Players can board the pirate's ship, the Lady Zay, from the cove.

Board the Lady Zay

 * Climb up two ladders, and board the pirate ship.
 * Talk to Captain Bentley.
 * When you ask to sail to Lunar Isle, the ship strangely sails around in a circle.


 * Speak to Captain Bentley again.
 * He will be puzzled and ask you to talk with the ship's navigator.


 * Talk to the navigator, 'Bird's-Eye' Jack, on the lower deck, in the left corner of the ship.
 * He will tell you his navigation skills are perfect and grow annoyed with you.


 * Talk to Captain Bentley again.
 * He will send you back to speak to 'Birds-Eye' Jack.


 * Return to 'Bird's-Eye' Jack.
 * After an amusing conversation, he will conclude that the ship is jinxed.


 * Talk to Captain Bentley again.
 * He will ask you to investigate who or what on the ship has been jinxed.

Talk with the Crew

 * Start with 'Eagle-eye' Shultz (he is on the bow, on same deck as Captain Bentley, at the head of the ship).
 * He will explain to you about jinxes.


 * Next, talk to 'Beefy' Burns on the bottom level of the ship, in the left-hand corner, in the galley.
 * He will tell you a bit about the pirates' visit to the Moon Clan.


 * Go up three levels to the stern of the ship, and ask 'Lecherous' Lee about the big feast. Lduppership.png (front) and the Cabin Boy (back).]]
 * He says he saw the first mate slip away for bit.


 * Confront First mate 'Davey-boy' (who is on the same deck as Captain Bentley, in the room at the stern of the ship).
 * He is, however, able to explain his absence but mentions that he couldn't find the Cabin Boy at the feast.


 * Finally, talk with the Cabin Boy. He is on the same deck as 'Lecherous' Lee.
 * He confesses that a girl from the Moon Clan tricked him into drawing five symbols throughout the ship.


 * The cabin boy will give you a special lantern and lens that you can use to search the ship for the symbols. Use the Emerald lens on the Bullseye lantern to create a mystical Emerald lantern. Use your tinderbox to light the lantern.
 * The cabin boy also gives you five clues for finding the symbols:
 * One was up on a wall: On the same floor as the captain, in the First Mate's cabin, in the stern of the ship. Use the lantern on the wallchart to the left of the door, and select Rub away!
 * One was on a container: In the bottom of the ship (the hold), in the bow. Use the lantern on the chest, near the ladder, and select Rub away!
 * One was on a box of some sort: Same floor (the hold), in the stern. Use the lantern on the two stacked crates to the right of the cook's galley, and select Rub away!
 * One was on a support: Still on the same floor (the hold), near the stern. Use the lantern on the support beam just outside the cook's galley, and select Rub away!
 * The last one is hazy, all I remember is that it was big and metal: On the poop deck, in the stern (where you found 'Lecherous' Lee and the Cabin Boy). Use the lantern on the cannon on the east side of the deck, and select Rub away!
 * Talk to Captain Bentley again, and set sail for Lunar Isle!

On Moonclan Isle

 * Climb down from the raised dock, and head west into the city.
 * A cutscene of a bird's-eye tour of the city will play upon your initial walking through the city gates.


 * Talk with Meteora, in the south-west part of the village.
 * She will tell you that although the clan doesn't have a leader, the Oneiromancer will be able to help you more than anyone.


 * Walk to the south-east part of the island, to the Astral altar, and talk to the Oneiromancer (watch out for the Suqahs).
 * She will tell you more about the Moon Clan's feud with the Fremennik. She will also ask that you try to understand the Moon Clan's ways. To do so, you will need to go through a ritual.


 * To prepare for the ritual, you will need to make three things: a Waking Sleep Potion, a Lunar staff, and Ceremonial travelling clothes.

Waking Sleep Potion

 * Talk to Baba Yaga in the chicken-leg house in the north of the village.
 * During your talk, she will give you a special vial and say you need guam leaf, marrentill, and some ground Suqah tooth to complete the potion.
 * Kill Suqahs until one drops a tooth, and then grind it with your Pestle and Mortar. (If you don't have the herbs in your bank, Suqahs also drop Marrentil and Guam.)
 * Use water from a sink to fill the vial—fountains do not work—but as luck would have it, a sink is in a house to the west of the bank, directly south of the chicken house.
 * Make your potion, and take it back to the Oneiromancer. She will keep it for you.
 * Note: Now would be a good time to collect four Suqah hides, as you will need them to make the ceremonial clothes later on.

Lunar staff
(Note: You may want to make more than one Lunar staff: Once you finish the quest, you will lose the ability to create the staff, so making a few backups might be useful.)
 * Grab your Dramen staff (or staves) along with the appropriate Talisman or Tiara, and use the staff on each of the four elemental altars in this order: Air altar (west of Varrock), Fire altar (in Al-Kharid), Water altar (in the Lumbridge Swamp), and Earth altar (north-east of Varrock).
 * Note: If you brought more than one, you need to use each staff on each altar to enchant it.
 * Your Dramen staff is now a Lunar Staff.


 * Return to Lunar Isle, bank all but one Lunar staff, and talk with the Oneiromancer. She will take your new Lunar staff.
 * (Warning: You will not be able to wield the Lunar staff until you return at least one to the Oneiromancer. If you anticipate a delay in completing the quest, keep a spare Dramen staff unenchanted to retain access to the Fairy ring transportation system.)

Ceremonial travelling clothes
The suit is composed of eight items:
 * The helm: With a pickaxe, head north-east on the isle to find the Lunar Isle Mine. (It is marked with a dungeon symbol on the minimap. Mind the Suqahs.) Enter the mine through the small shack, and mine one of the grey stalagmites in the western part of the mine to get a Lunar ore. Superheat the ore, or put it in a furnace to refine it. Then use it on an anvil to make a Lunar helm. The closest furnace and anvil are in Rellekka. Make sure you bring a hammer.
 * The cape: Talk with Pauline Polaris, in a house in the north-west corner of the village. She wants you to guess her real name before she will give you the Lunar cape. First, choose Pauline. She tells you that is her alias. Now, choose Jane Blud-Hagic-Maid. After you have guessed correctly, she will give you the cape.
 * The amulet: Talk to Meteora (she is in the south-west part of the village, by the house next to the L-shaped room with the water icon). She will ask you to retrieve the tiara she lost to the Suqahs. Kill Suqahs until one drops A special tiara, and then go back to Meteora and trade her tiara for the Lunar amulet.
 * The torso, the gloves, the boots, and the trousers: Speak with Rimae Sirsalis, who runs the Moon Clan Fine Clothes shop. She can tan Suqah hides for 100 gp each. Have her tan the four Suqah hides you got earlier. (If you didn't collect them yet, go kill four now.) Buy a needle and two spools of thread (if you don't have them), and make the four Lunar pieces. (If the player attempts to make a second set of lunar torso/legs/gloves/boots, he will receive the message, "You already have the ... part of the ceremonial clothes." This occurs whether the first set is in the player's inventory or his bank, and it is not possible to drop the clothes without destroying them. However, if the player places the complete set, including ring, amulet, cape and helm, in a Magic wardrobe in their Player-owned house, the player will be able to make a second set during the quest.)


 * The ring: Talk with Selene, near the centre of the village. She will give you a clue to finding a ring. Grab a spade, and go out the eastern gate of the village. Travel south-east until you reach a bridge. Cross it, go west, and cross another bridge. Keep heading west till you see a patch of blue flowers near a starfish. (See the image to the right for the location.) Dig on top of the flowers to obtain the ring.


 * With all the Lunar items you just made and found, go back to talk with the Oneiromancer. (Make sure you have 11 empty spots.)
 * She will first take everything from you for safekeeping and then give you back all your ceremonial clothes, Lunar staff, and potion, plus some magic kindling for the ceremony.

In Dreamland
Note: Before entering Dreamland, make sure you have your Seal of passage, some food, and a tinderbox with you. You may also want to bring an Agility potion and a hatchet, although you can also get a hatchet in Dreamland. Be sure you have some inventory spots free. If you log out while doing this part of the quest or fail to wear all the Lunar items including the staff, you'll have to reobtain the Waking Sleep Potion and the magic kindling by speaking to Oneiromancer.
 * Put on your ceremonial clothes, wield the Lunar staff, and go to the centre of the village.
 * Enter the building in the west of the village that has the Ceremonial Brazier in it. (The building is just south of Pauline Polaris.)
 * Use the Waking sleep vial on the kindling, light the brazier with a tinderbox, and place the Soaked kindling in the brazier.
 * Welcome to the land of your own dreams.


 * Talk to the Ethereal Man (or Ethereal Lady, if your character is female).
 * He will explain you are about to take a test by performing a selection of tasks or puzzles.
 * If you fail any of the tasks, you can try again. After completing each task, talk to the Ethereal Man in the centre. You can do the tasks in any order.

Note: If you need to leave, click the My Life book on the lecturn in the centre to go back to your awake world. However, you will need to make the Waking sleep potion again to reenter the Dreamland.

A game of chance

 * To get to this task, step on the platform located at the 7 o'clock position, if you have the map oriented north (the platform is avocado green, the same color as your agility potion, if you brought one).
 * Speak with the Ethereal Fluke, who will explain how to play the game.
 * The Fluke will shout out a number.


 * Flip over the six dice so the sum of the numbers facing up on the dice equals the Fluke's number.
 * Each die has just two possibilities, however: The number facing up, and the number on its opposite side. So depending on what is facing up, any one die can show:
 * 1 or 6
 * 2 or 5
 * 3 or 4
 * Once you have the correct combination, the Ethereal Fluke will shout out the next number.

Communicating in numbers
In this test you will have to continue the Ethereal Numerator's sequence. For example, 14, 25, and the next would be 36 as the following numbers would increase by 11. Sequences for example:
 * 1 4 2 5 3 6
 * 3 4 2 5 1 6
 * 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5
 * 9 7 5 3 1
 * 0 1 3 4 6 7
 * 2 6 3 7 4 8
 * 1 9 2 8 3 7
 * 1 2 3 4 5
 * 1 1 2 2 3 3 4
 * 8 6 4 2 0
 * 1 6 2 5 3 4
 * 1 3 5 7 9
 * 7 3 6 2 5 1
 * 2 3 5 6 8 9
 * 9 8 7 6 5 4
 * 1 1 2 3 1 1 4 5 1

Chop, chop, chop away
This is a fairly easy challenge - all you need to do is chop 20 logs and put them in your pile before the Ethereal Perceptive does. If you do not have an axe with you, he will supply you with a Bronze Axe.

It's more time consuming to cut one tree and then place the single log into the pile. It's recommended to cut all four trees and deposit them in stacks of four. This can be done successfully with the Bronze Axe provided.

Where am I?
Similar to the spike pits in Underground Pass, players have to jump between platforms in order to reach the other side, hoping not to find the false platforms that will collapse and would take you back to the start. If you fail, you will not receive any damage. The path is different for everyone. Nonetheless, there are reports that path will often be similar to the one on the right.

The race is on!
A simple agility test: beat the Ethereal Expert by outrunning him/her, but while he runs a straight path, you have to cross 4 hurdles. Despite the Ethereal Experts advantage, this is fairly easy. An agility potion may help, and players may need food because failing a hurdle will deal 8 damage. If you click quickly, you can afford to fail 3 times. You will only barely win though.

Anything you can do...
Just like the Mime random event, mimic the Ethereal Mime's emotes. After 5 successful rounds, you will go back to the Arena.

Pleased to meet me
Once all the tasks above are completed, talk to the guide in the centre, and he will ask if you are ready to face the ultimate challenge. Players will find themselves on a plane with "Me", an easily defeatable, level 79 version of your character ("Me" will only ever wear the full Lunar Armour set, it is impossible to change this). You will occasionally be teleported away by him...yourself. When "Me" teleports you he will teleport himself too, but to a different spot. The chats are quite amusing from "Me" so you might want to pay attention. Please note that it IS possible to bring runes to fight with magic (but this method is not recommended.)

'''Note: There seems to be a bug that prevents you from being teleported to fight yourself if you talk to the guide while they're on the centre platform. Wait until they walk off it and talk to them again if you find this happening to you.'''

Once players have defeated "Me", talk to the guide at the centre of Dreamworld, then exit by clicking the Life Book and go and talk to the Oneiromancer again (DON'T forget the seal or you'll be teleported away).

Congratulations! Quest complete!

Trivia



 * In one of the conversations with Captain Bentley, the player says "O Captain, my captain" which is the name of a poem by Walt Whitman (also referred to in the movie "Dead Poets Society").


 * Also while talking to Capt Bentley, at one part the parrot says, "I want guns, lots of guns!", which is a quote from the movie "The Matrix"


 * Baba Yaga comes from Slavic mythology, where she is an old witch (or old wild woman or mistress of magic) that lives in the house with chicken legs. She is also a character from the popular anime DragonBall Z, where she plays Master Roshi's sister.


 * The walking chicken house was first used in 1979 as a game artefact in the Dungeon Master's Guide by Gary Gygax in the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game. Its first usage in a computer game was in Quest for Glory 1, a computer game made by Sierra Online.


 * When entering the town on Lunar Island for the first time the Player says "Here goes nothing!".


 * Bouquet Mac Hyacinth - examine text, "Should I pronounce it 'bucket?'" There is a character called Hyacinth Bucket on Keeping Up Appearances who insists her last name is pronounced "bouquet".


 * Phrase "Anything you can do..." is a reference to a song by Irving Berlin from 1946 Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun.


 * When talking to Captain Bentley about his ship, he mentions it was stolen from the Karamja Shipyard and seemed to be made for smaller people. This is a reference to the Grand Tree quest


 * During the quest, the player enters a waking sleep, which is supposedly a dream. However during the dream, you are given a bronze axe which remains in your inventory even after you wake up...


 * When you talk to Jenny Blades while looking for the symbols, she says that both her eyes are made of glass. This may be a reference to Cap'n MacAllister from the TV series The Simpsons


 * If a player wears certain types of gloves (Red d'hide vambs or void knight gloves, for example) while using the emerald lantern to look for the jinx symbols, the hand which holds the lamp becomes stretchy - a glitch


 * During the dream part of the quest, it says, "You can't take off your clothes in a dream. Sorry." when you try to remove any of your Lunar Equipment.
