Garden of Tranquillity

Details
NOTE:This quest is very long due to the planting of many seeds. Teleports for quicker travel (optional) Varrock teleports, Amulet of glory to get to Draynor Village and to the well in Edgeville (an explorer's ring 3 can get to Draynor), Falador Teleports, Ectophial, Ardougne Teleports, Camelot Teleports (for Burthorpe and Catherby, but a games necklace can get to Burthorpe), Combat Bracelet (to get to Monastery), and the Fairy Ring system for the Port Phasmatys patch (closest code is ALQ).

Walkthrough
To start the quest, go to the kitchen in Varrock palace, then go east and then south, into a fenced garden where Queen Ellamaria is. Speak to her and she will hand over a list of the plants she needs.

Ring enchantment
With the ring of charos obtained from Creature of Fenkenstrain quest, head for Draynor Village and talk to the Wise Old Man. He will tell a story about Queen Ellamaria before she was married to King Roald, as well as the origin of the ring of charos. Give the Ring to the Wise Old Man, after which he will ask 7 questions to test whether you are worthy of owning an activated ring.

The answers to the questions are as follows:

1. Show them a range of colours so that they can come to a compromise. 2. Take his generous gift even though you have no need of it. 3. It's absolutely, unquestionably the most interesting thing I've ever done! 4. Put on the silly helmet and jump into the cannon. 5. I am, prepare to meet your doom Pkmaster0036! 6. Ask me nicely and I might consider it. 7. No, especially not that wise old man, who doesn't look at all suspicious.

(Note: there seems to be some room for error since alternate responses have worked for some people on questions 4, 5, 6, and 7.)

After answering the questions correctly, the Wise Old Man will enchant the ring of charos and return it to you. The ring is used, when worn, to persuade NPCs (with the dialogue including the word "charm") that the Queen asked to find.

Obtaining the seeds
Next, head to the NPCs the Queen asked to find. Note: You can visit the NPCs in any order. The queen's garden does not have a Tool Leprechaun but there is one at the tree patch in the castle courtyard. You do not need a watering can for any of the plants.

Elstan, south east of Falador
Go to the allotments between Falador and Draynor Village, and talk to the gardener Elstan. Ask about Delphinium seeds. Using the charm options, he will ask you to plant some marigold. Charm him until the actual request, which you should not use the charm option for.

Plant a marigold seed in the nearby flower patch and grow it. For the marigold Elstan will hand over the delphinium seeds. If you give him an ordinary marigold he will tell you he hasn't seen you grow it and you won't get the seeds. Also, if you grow the marigold before talking to him, he will say that he did not see it growing and you must do it again.

Lyra, Port Phasmatys
Items needed for this section: Ring of charos (a) equipped, three onion seeds, a bucket of compost / super compost, a rake, a seed dibber and a watering can. It's also recommended to bring some plant cure or about 100 coins.

Go to the undead farm between Port Phasmatys and the Fenkenstrain's Castle. Speak to Lyra at the allotments, using the "charm" option until she requests that you grow some onions. Agree to her offer without using the "charm" option.

Rake an allotment and pour the bucket of compost or super compost. Plant some onions in the allotment, water the plantation every turn, and cure disease if necessary. You cannot use the bribe on the onions. When the onions are fully grown, speak to Lyra again. She will give you three yellow orchid seeds and three pink orchid seeds. You will then need to plant them in the plantpots that are in Queen Ellamaria's garden.

Kragen, Ardougne
Items needed for this section: Ring of Charos (a) equipped, three cabbage seeds, a bucket of compost / super compost, a rake, a seed dibber and a watering can. It's also recommended to bring some plant cure or about 100 coins.

Go to the farm at the north of East Ardougne. Speak to Kragen at the allotments, using the "charm" option until he requests that you grow some cabbage Agree his offer without using the "charm" option.

Rake an allotment and pour the bucket of compost or super compost. Plant some cabbages in the allotment, water the plantation every turn, and cure disease if necessary. When the cabbages are fully grown, speak to Kragen again to receive four snowdrop seeds.

Bernald, Burthorpe
Items needed for this section: Rune essence (pure essence will also work), a ring of charos (a), two plant cure potions, a hammer or a chisel and a pestle and mortar.

Travel to the bar in Burthorpe and enter the garden behind it. Talk to Bernald, using charm options when necessary. He will tell you that his vines are dying and needs a cure. Use one plant cure on the vine, but it won't work. Talk to Bernald again and he will instruct you to find Alain at Taverley.

Go to the tree patch at Taverley (near the gate dividing P2P only area and F2P area) and speak to Alain. Do not use the charm option. He will provide a method of adding some rune essence dust into the plant cure to enhance its power.

Use a hammer or chisel on a rune essence or pure essence to crush the stone into rune shards, then use the pestle and mortar on the shards to make some rune dust. Use the dust with the remaining plant cure potion to get a strengthened plant cure. Bring the potion back to Burthorpe and use it on the diseased vines. The vines will now be cured.

Talk to Bernald and he will give you some Burthorpe vine seeds.

Dantaera, Catherby
Items needed for this part: Secateurs or magic secateurs, watering can. Go to the Catherby farming patch and talk to Dantaera. Use the charm options whenever possible and Dantaera will let you cut a branch from the White Tree, which is on the top of Ice Mountain, near the Oracle.

After talking to Dantaera, go to the bank and grab a plant pot, a pair of secateurs, and a watering can with water. Travel to the top of Ice Mountain and find the White Tree. Use the pair of secateurs on the tree and you will get a white tree shoot. Use it in the plant pot with soil (you will need a trowel) and water it. After a while the branch will grow into a sapling and is ready to be planted in the specified tree patch in Queen Ellamaria's garden. It is recommended you plant the white tree as soon as you get it, because it takes a while to grow.

Brother Althric, Monastery
The steps mentioned in this part should be followed strictly.

For the rose seeds, go to the garden at the north side of the Monastery, with the ring of charos (a) equipped. Try to take the rose seeds and Brother Althric will stop you. He will claim you are wearing an "Evil talisman" and demand that you throw it in a well in Edgeville, or simply destroy it. Do NOT throw away or destroy the Ring BEFORE being told by Althric to do so.

The best thing to do is to go to Edgeville and throw the ring in the local well. Otherwise, you would have to go to Fenkenstrain's Castle or Harmony Island and pickpocket Dr. Fenkenstrain in order to recover the ring.

With the ring thrown away or destroyed, you can go to the Monastery and attempt to take the seeds (from the rosebushes) again. This time Althric will be pleased and will allow you to take the rose seeds. There are three kinds of rose seeds - red rose seeds, pink rose seeds and white rose seeds.

To retrieve your ring, get a fishing rod or fly fishing rod (note that the oily fishing rod does not work), and use it with the well in Edgeville. It might take several tries but you will eventually get it back.

Gardening
Prepare a rake, a spade, a seed dibber, and two buckets of compost or super compost, as well as all the seeds and saplings obtained from earlier parts.

Pour one bucket of compost / super compost in each stone pot. Use the rake to wipe out the weeds in all farming patches, and plant the seeds / sapling to where they should be placed.

Since the Queen has treated all the soil in the garden patches, no watering is needed.

Getting the statues
After planting everything, talk to Queen Ellamaria and ask about getting the statues. She provides a trolley with which to push or pull the statues.

When there is a statue on the trolley, you can choose to "push" or "pull" the trolley, causing the trolley to move 1 square away from or towards you respectively. The option "big push" allows the trolley to move several squares away from you.

Teleports are recommended to get to the statues' original places.

Statue of a former King, Lumbridge
Walk or teleport to Lumbridge, then walk out of the castle. Examine both statues and use the trolley on the one described as the statue of a "king" (should be the one on the south side).

Push or pull the trolley across the bridge directly outside the castle. Once the trolley is on the other side of the River Lum the scene will immediately change to the north backyard of Varrock palace. Push or pull the trolley to the east, and then south, into the Queen's garden. Don't take your time with this - if you chat along the way and take too long, the "guards capture the statue and place it back in Lumbridge"!!

Place the statue in the eastern slot. When the trolley is pushed beside the spot, use the "place" option to place the statue, and the trolley will return to your inventory automatically.

The statues will occasionally get stuck in the drain on the castle wall near the trellis.

Statue of Saradomin, Falador
The statue is in the main square just south of the north gate. Falador Teleport brings you right next to the statue. Use the trolley on the statue and a cutscene will play showing two guards at the north gate being killed by Pkmaster0036 while you tried to push the statue onto the trolley.

After the cutscene, move the trolley out of Falador as soon as possible. If you take too long the guards will discover the statue has been stolen and you'll have to start over.

Once the trolley is out of Falador the scene will immediately change to the north backyard of Varrock palace. Again, push or pull the trolley to the east, and then south, into the Queen's garden. Place the statue in the central slot.

Conclusion
After all patches are fully grown and the statues are in place, talk to the Queen and she will ask you to get King Roald. Go to the King and talk to him, using the charm options whenever possible. Have him follow you into the garden.

After a funny cut scene the quest will end and the Queen will reward you.

Trivia

 * During the Burthorpe vine part of the quest, if you charm Alain too much, Alain will exclaim that you are trying brainwash him to which you will respond to by saying "It only works on the weak minded," a quote from Star Wars. He then says "It is you who are weak minded, . If you use the ring too much, it could lead to your downfall." This is an obvious reference to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy when Gandalf warns Frodo against using the One Ring too much.
 * The reference to the dying white tree at the top of the mountain may be a reference to the White Tree found in J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
 * Throwing the ring into the well might also be a reference to The Lord of the Rings.
 * The Black Knight that comes and attacks the two guards while you're taking the Falador statue has the same name as the PKer that the Wise Old Man asks you about.
 * In the cutscene near the end of the quest, the Queen slaps the King and hits a "1".
 * The Queen calls her husband "Rollie".
 * You do not get any Farming experience from planting any seeds in the Queen's garden; however, you do get experience from weeding the patches.
 * When the Queen asks you to help, one of your choices to answer her that you'd rather throw yourself off of a pier, and when you go to the Wise Old Man, he says you'd be better off throwing yourself off of a pier.
 * After you retrieve the ring from the well, you can throw it back in and fish for it again. While doing this, your character will say "la-de-da", "dum-de-dum" and "Nice day for it". However, you can only do this before you finish the quest.
 * After the quest is over, the statues that you took are replaced by plinths.
 * One of the answers for the 4th question the Wise Old Man asks you is "Just put on the silly helmet and jump into the cannon, this is a reference to the quest Between a rock..., where you have to do just that
