Fairy rings



The Fairy ring transportation system is unlocked after starting the A Fairy Tale Part II quest and getting permission from the godfather. It consists of over 38 nodes spread across the land and provides a relatively fast means for accessing often remote sites in Runescape. Players can enter the fairy ring system from any node while wielding either a Dramen staff or a Lunar staff, ending up at the master fairy ring in Zanaris. From there, using three letter codes, they can teleport to most rings within the system. Several rings, however, require players to complete quests before they can be accessed. If the selected code has no corresponding fairy ring, players will be teleported a few squares from the main ring. Currently, there are 38 fairy rings and 37 working codes--the fairy ring in the centre of the Haunted Woods is a one-way ring to Zanaris.



To use the fairy rings, players must complete the following quests and have the following minimum skill: Rune Mysteries, Priest in Peril, Nature Spirit, Lost City, A Fairy Tale Part I (Growing Pains), 31 Crafting (Lost City) and 36 Woodcutting (Lost City).

When the fairy ring transportation system was released, there were only 34 fairy rings. Fairy rings codes AKQ and DKS were introduced with the Hunter skill on November 21, 2006. AJQ to Dorgesh-Kaan was introduced on March 20, 2007, bringing the number of fairy rings up to a total of 37. BLQ to Yu'biusk was introduced on November 12, 2007, making the total 38.



Trivia

 * Before the release of the fairy rings, Will o' the wisps could be found appearing in many areas of RuneScape other than the swamps they are known to appear in. These seem to mark many of the areas where fairy rings would later be added.
 * The ignore list can be used to store frequently used codes.
