Crandor

Crandor is a small island north of Karamja. The island is not a multi-combat area and is available to free players. In Runescape Classic, this was the sole end-game content available to free players.

History
According to the Guildmaster in the Champions' Guild, Crandor was once a "thriving community". When players return to him after speaking with Oziach, he goes into a detailed explanation of what transpired:

The Guildmaster also mentions that one needs to find a "ship made to the old Crandorian design", which hints that the Crandorians were excellent shipbuilders (in fact, Klarense tells the player when they inquire about the Lady Lumbridge that the ship is, in fact, originally from Crandor).

Furthermore, Duke Horacio also mentions Crandor when the player requests an Anti-dragon shield from him:

In postbag from the hedge, Horacio gives an excerpt from his father's journal, describing the city:

The ruins that cover Crandor are mainly of stone design, although any other materials were likely destroyed in the attack. Structures seem to have included brick walls, tiled floors, and supportive columns. Where the stone was obtained is unknown, although it may be igneous rock from within the volcano.

Entrances
Crandor can only be accessed by boat after asking Ned to bring you to Crandor during the Dragon Slayer Quest. After the quest, use the underground tunnel which connects the Crandor and Karamja Dungeons. However, players must have found the secret door in the Crandor side of the dungeon during the Dragon Slayer Quest before they can use it on the Karamja side.

Monsters


Crandor is home to a wide variety of monsters, each on different parts of the island. It is a very good island for mid to high level free players.

On the south-eastern tip, around the crashed ship, are level 25 skeletons. These skeletons are also on the western side of the island. On the northern tip are level 32 king scorpions and a little west of them are level 28 hobgoblins. A little south of these monsters are level 82 lesser demons, and far south of these monsters are level 42 moss giants. These monsters are often trained on by F2P rangers due to the many safespots. If you are doing Dragon Slayer, Elvarg, the big green dragon, will be in a cave walking around until you fight her. If, however, you have finished the quest, Elvarg will be there, but will not be attackable.

Rocks
Crandor also has some rocks in it which players can mine through the Mining skill, which are labelled on the map with a small pickaxe. There are 4 mining areas on the island. Other than those mentioned, the mine approaches are often infested with level 25 skeletons, level 28 hobgoblins at the northern end, and level 32 King scorpions.

Dungeons
There is also a dungeon underneath the island which connects to Karamja, which is labelled on the map with a red exclamation mark. In it are level 22 skeletons, level 25 skeletons, level 35 deadly red spiders, level 45 skeletons, level 82 Lesser demons and Level 83 Elvarg for the F2P quest Dragon Slayer.

Trivia

 * In Ursula K. LeGuin's book A Wizard of Earthsea, an isle named Pendor is also ruled by a dragon who destroyed a city there. While it's greatly possible that this is a coincidence, one can't help but notice the similarities between the names of the islands (Crandor, Pendor), and the names of the despotic dragons dwelling there (Elvarg and Yevaud, respectively).
 * If you stand on the shore on the west side of Crandor and use the orb of oculus you can see the far end of the Fishing Platform.
 * After the Dragon Slayer quest you can find Ned in Crandor in the broken ship although he is supposed to be in Draynor Village. He is in both places at once. In Crandor you cannot get rope or talk about the Achievement Diary for Lumbridge/Draynor.
