A basic quetzal whistle is a teleportation item that takes players to any built Quetzal Transport System landing site. When the teleport function is clicked, it will open the transport interface. It cannot be used beyond level 20 Wilderness.

The whistle is made via the right-click "Craft" option on a basic quetzal whistle blueprint, whilst having willow logs and a knife in the inventory. The blueprints are initially obtained for free from Soar Leader Pitri after completing 10 Hunters' Rumours, with subsequent blueprints costing 500 coins. Players can then craft and charge more whistles, carrying or storing away as many as they'd like.

The basic whistle can hold up to 5 charges, but can be upgraded to an enhanced quetzal whistle, which holds up to 20. The "Check" option will display a message containing the whistle's remaining charges, e.g. Your quetzal whistle has 4 charges remaining.. Lastly, the "Rumour" option on the whistle will remind players of their active rumour, e.g. Your current rumour target is a grey chinchompa. You'll need to bring back some of its fur. Cervus was the source of the rumour..

Quetzal whistles may be used to teleport to any built landing site in the Quetzal Transport System without needing to unlock Renu during Twilight's Promise.

There is an option in the game settings to configure the quetzal whether to open a map or directly teleport you to the guild. The tickbox for this can be found under the Gameplay section.

Quetzal whistles are charged by bringing the whistle, alongside certain raw hunter meats, to Soar Leader Pitri; the amount of charges provided are dependent on the type of meat given. Additionally, the raw meat must be present in the player's inventory, not as banknotes or stored in a meat pouch.

Hunters' Rumours are effective ways to get charges via quetzal feed and raw meat. With 69 Hunter, dashing kebbits become a good alternate option.

Players can have multiple quetzal whistles in their inventory and charge them simultaneously. Additionally, recharging will use raw meat until the whistle is fully charged; any charges beyond the maximum capacity of the whistle will be lost.

• Trying to use the whistle above level 20 wilderness will result in the chat messages Unfortunately, large birds can't just fly you to Varlamore from here. and You'll need to be below level 20 wilderness. This is a potential reference to a frequently discussed "plot hole" in the Lord of the Rings series^[1].
