A digsite pendant is a ruby necklace that has been enchanted using the Lvl-3 Enchant spell. It requires completion of The Dig Site quest and the spell learnt from one of the archaeologists in Varrock Museum to make or use. Digsite pendants cannot be recharged and crumble to dust when all charges have been used.

Unlike most gold jewellery, this necklace cannot be enchanted until the spell has been learnt from one of the archaeologists cleaning finds at the Varrock Museum. To learn how to enchant a ruby necklace, a player must first participate in the museum's specimen cleaning activity (located on the ground floor floor of the museum) until a clean necklace is discovered from the uncleaned finds; the chance of this is 1/51. Giving the clean necklace to any of the archaeologists in the Varrock museum’s cleaning area will prompt them to teach the player how to replicate the enchantment spell, which requires either 49 Magic or an enchant ruby or topaz tablet.

When enchanted, the pendant can be used to teleport to the north of the Digsite, west of the canal barge. The number of charges on an individual pendant is suffixed to the item's name. For example, an unused pendant is named "Digsite pendant (5)". When all five teleports have been used, the pendant will crumble away. Players can cast an alchemy spell on it when only 1 charge is left to minimise costs.

The strange machine that can be used to unlock the Fossil Island teleport

Once the quest Bone Voyage has been completed, a pendant of any amount of charges can be used on the southern strange machine (the one displaying a book with symbols) at the House on the Hill, north of the Museum Camp in Fossil Island. This gives the player an extra teleport option to the House on the Hill when using any digsite pendant. Once Dragon Slayer II has been completed, a teleport to Lithkren can be unlocked by using a digsite pendant on the strange machinery north of the rune dragons. Each teleport option can be unbound by using a pendant on the machine again.

At 82 Construction, a curator's medallion can be mounted in a player-owned house portal nexus room, creating a mounted digsite pendant. The mounted version of the pendant will allow unlimited teleports to the same locations as the normal unmounted version.

When teleporting using the necklace, the message You rub the necklace...will be displayed, followed by a message with the number of charges remaining, ex. Your Digsite Pendant has two uses left. If using the last charge on the necklace, the message Your Digsite Pendant crumbles to dust.will be displayed instead. When attempting to teleport to a destination that hasn't been unlocked yet, the message You have not yet unlocked that destination. will be shown.

Price per teleport

Because the high alchemy value is the same regardless of the number of charges, some of the cost of usage can be reclaimed by alching when one charge remains.

Trivia

  • The necklace’s teleport is closely tied to the location of the ancient cities of Senntisten and Saranthium, whose ruins and artefacts are the current focus of the Varrock Museum, making their study essential to unlocking its magical properties.
