Ned

Ned is a retired sailor who lives in Draynor Village. He is located south of the quest start for the Vampire Slayer quest, in Draynor Village.

He will make a rope for you for 15 coins, or if you bring him 4 balls of wool. It is revealed during The Fremennik Isles quest that Ned does not make his ropes from wool but trades it to a wool merchant in exchange for rope. It is revealed by talking to Jofridr Mordstatter that she is the person he gets his rope from. He is willing to give you a "free sample" after the Fremennik Isles to bribe you into keeping his secret.

Ned is featured in the Dragon Slayer quest, sailing the player to the Crandor Isle to slay Elvarg. Ned, along with the player, will be stranded as the player's ship is shipwrecked while landing on Crandor island. The cabin boy dies before the Lady Lumbridge crashes by the hands of Elvarg. Interestingly, Ned makes his way back to Draynor Village as soon as the player finishes the quest but when the player revisits the shipwreck area, Ned is found to be stranded again.

Quests
Ned features heavily in the Dragon Slayer quest, because he is the only NPC who is willing to sail a player to Crandor. While doing the quest, players may speak to Ned about Crandor. He will tell you that he is willing to sail you there if you can find the right items. These are...


 * A Map
 * A seaworthy boat (the Lady Lumbridge)

Ned is also required during the Prince Ali Rescue quest; players must approach him for help in crafting a wig.
