- Not to be confused with the Dark Mage who resides in the Abyss.
The Dark mage is a Zamorakian mage who can be found close to the entrance of the Underground Pass in West Ardougne. He resides in a tower just ahead of the Underground Pass, which is in better shape that most of the other buildings in the town.
When asked about fixing Iban's staff, he will shout "Almighty Zamorak! The Staff of Iban! This is truly dangerous magic, traveller. I can fix it, but it will cost you, the process could kill me." and then demands 200,000 coins. Upon fixing it he will comment: "You be careful with that thing!"
The Dark mage also offers to buy your kitten, cat, overgrown cat, wily cat or lazy cat for the fair price of 100 or 200 Death Runes , the latter being if you've completed the easy Ardougne Tasks.
The Dark Mage looks almost exactly like a Disciple of Iban, the only difference being that the disciples are paler.
