Ectofuntus

The Ectofuntus is a fountain located within a temple just north of Port Phasmatys that can be worshipped for Prayer experience. Worshipping the Ectofuntus involves using the bone grinder on the upper level of the temple to crush any kind of bones into bonemeal, then clicking the Ectofuntus on the ground floor with the bonemeal and a bucket of slime in your inventory to consume them.

Worshipping the Ectofuntus provides four times the Prayer experience that would be gained from burying the bones. 5 Ecto-tokens may be claimed per worship by talking to any ghost disciple while wearing a ghostspeak amulet or Morytania legs 2+. These are used as a currency in the nearby Port Phasmatys and to charge the bonecrusher.

Training at the Ectofuntus is a slower method than using a gilded altar or the Chaos altar, but is a cheaper alternative that doesn't require access to a player-owned house or the Wilderness.

The vampyres of Morytania came to the port town long ago, demanding blood tithes. The inhabitants were willing to do anything to stop them and, therefore, turned to the evil wizard Necrovarus, begging for help. Necrovarus told them to start digging to the north of the town and not to stop until they found a large pool of green slime. So, they did and discovered Ectoplasm. Then, he ordered a temple to be built above the pool, and in that temple, is a large fountain: the Ectofuntus.

Once everything was finished, the fountain emitted unholy power, creating a large force field around the settlement. This defended the town from the Vampyres, who couldn't breach the barrier. There was a horrible side effect, however, that Necrovarus counted on: all the people of Port Phasmatys died and their souls, instead of passing into the next world, were trapped by the field. From that day onward, Port Phasmatys has been a town inhabited solely by ghosts. All this was the real intent of Necrovarus, who planned to use the ghosts and the power of the Ectofuntus for his own evil ends, until he was thwarted in the Ghosts Ahoy quest.

Before worshipping the Ectofuntus you must obtain buckets of slime and bonemeal. The optimal inventory when making these yourself from the temple is: 9 buckets, 9 pots and 9 bones of any type. An ectophial is highly recommended to save time if you have already completed Ghosts Ahoy, as it offers an infinite teleport to the Ectofuntus. A ghostspeak amulet or Morytania legs 2 or above must be equipped to talk to the ghost disciples to receive ecto-tokens. Doing all steps manually, after filling the buckets, grinding the bones, and then worshipping at the Ectofuntus a player could worship approximately 180 times per hour, assuming teleports are used to bank.

Zealot's robes obtained from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame may be equipped to provide a 5% chance (1.25% per piece) to prevent bonemeal and buckets of slime from being used while worshipping the Ectofuntus.

Buckets may be substituted for buckets of slime when purchasing them instead. This can be done by purchasing 10 at a time from a trader crewmember on the Port Phasmatys dock, then world hopping and banking at the nearby bank. If done efficiently this will be faster than filling the buckets yourself.

Players who have completed the medium, hard, or elite tiers of the Morytania Diary can have Robin in the Port Phasmatys pub convert 13, 26, or 39 bones, respectively, per day into bonemeal and slime.

Players who have completed tiers of the Morytania Diary may teleport directly to the pool of slime; otherwise, enter the trapdoor to the west of the Ectofuntus. If you have 58 Agility use the weathered wall shortcut in front of you, otherwise walk around to the opposite side of the cavern and climb down the stairs, then repeat this process for the next two sets of stairs. Use a bucket on the pool of slime: this will automatically fill all the buckets in your inventory over the next few seconds. Use your ectophial to return to the fountain, or walk back up the stairs and up the ladder.

Go up the stairs east of the Ectofuntus. Use a bone on the loader located on the right side of the bone grinder, making sure to use the bones and not bury them. This will begin an automated process where the player will load one of the bones, turn the wheel, empty the bin to retrieve the completed bonemeal, and then automatically repeat this for each subsequent bone. However, interacting with each part of the grinder will speed up this process.

Return to the Ectofuntus and click on it to consume each set of bonemeal and slime. Drop a bucket or pot to free an inventory space, then talk to a ghost disciple to earn 5 ecto-tokens per set. Once 1000 tokens have been earned but not claimed, further attempts to worship will produce the message "There isn't room to put any more in." The tokens must be collected to continue worshipping.

Weight-reducing gear is recommended, such as graceful clothing or boots of lightness and a spotted or spottier cape. The ectophial teleport to the Ectofuntus and an amulet of glory or a ring of dueling to teleport close to a bank is also recommended. The Crafting or Fishing cape along with Morytania legs 3/4 are other good options for banking.

Method 1: For players looking to reduce the amount of trips made, the most efficient way to use the Ectofuntus is to first get all of the slime required (recommended, as mentioned above, to purchase from the trader crewmember and world hop), then grind half of the amount of total bones in lots of 13 per trip. Afterwards, the inventory setup would be 12 buckets of slime, 6 crushed bones, and 6 uncrushed bones if using teleportation runes, or 13 buckets of slime, 7 crushed bones, and 7 uncrushed bones if walking to the bank or using teleport jewellery. This setup results in the minimum amount of trips possible for grinding and worshipping, versus the traditional setup of 9 bones, 9 pots, and 9 slime buckets.

Route:

1. Use ectophial
2. Worship
3. Grind the remaining bones in inventory
4. Worship (1 crushed bone will remain)
5. Bank
6. Repeat

Method 2: For more experienced players, there is a slightly faster method, which utilises teletabs or the rune pouch. For this method to work optimally, players must have an ectophial, 58 Agility and have completed the medium Varrock Achievement Diary. A reward for completing the diary is the ability to change the location of your Varrock teleport to the Grand Exchange. Simply walking a bit north using a Varrock tab, allows for quick and cheap access to a bank. A rune pouch filled with law, fire, and air runes may be used instead of the teletabs. Lastly, instead of a rune pouch you may wield a smoke battlestaff and carry law runes in your inventory. Therefore, an optimal inventory for gathering buckets of slime would consist of: Ectophial, Varrock teletabs OR rune pouch OR smoke battlestaff and law runes, and 26 buckets. This puts your route as follows: Ectophial teleport, use Agility shortcut, gather slime, use Varrock teleport, bank and repeat.

For bonemeal, you would follow a similar plan. Your inventory would consist of: Ectophial, Varrock teletabs, 13 pots, and 13 bones of your choosing. The route is also the same: Ectophial, grind bones, Varrock teleport, bank, repeat.

As such, this method does recommend that players separate the job into three stages. Getting the slime first, then grinding bones, and finally worshipping, using the same method as before.

Inventory for worshipping:

• Ectophial
• Varrock teleports
• Ecto-tokens
• 12 slime
• 12 bonemeal

Route:

1. Use ectophial
2. Worship
3. Collect ecto-tokens
4. Use Varrock teleport
5. Bank
6. Repeat

Note that alternate means of teleportation may be cheaper, such as a ring of dueling, to teleport to the Castle Wars bank chest. However, using jewellery is more click intensive, and more prone to mistake (accidentally teleporting to the Emir's Arena, for example). Since for jewellery, you have to right click, then left click, and constantly withdraw new items when they break, players will find that one click teletabs are generally more practical.

If players have the medium, hard, or elite Morytania Diary completed, they can speak to Robin in the Port Phasmatys pub to convert 13, 26, or 39 bones per day, respectively, into bonemeal. These bones cannot be noted and players will also receive the equivalent amount of slime from Robin, so make sure to only bring 13 bones at a time - similar to an ectofuntus run.

An ideal inventory will consist of 13 bones, ectophial, and an additional teleport (such as a Crafting cape or rune pouch with appropriate teleport runes). The player should also equip their highest tier of Morytania legs or a ghostspeak amulet in order to claim their tokens.

Collecting bonemeal and slime from Robin allows from one to three (depending on Diary status) efficient trips to the Ectofuntus that do not require bone grinding or slime to be collected.

This reward can be used to easily gain 4,000, 8,000, or 12,000 Prayer experience on a daily basis (using dragon or wyvern bones) as the process shouldn't take more than 5 minutes even with three trips. This will also grant 65, 130, or 195 Ecto-tokens, which can be used to upkeep a bonecrusher. Doing so will provide 1,625, 3,250, or 4,875 charges depending on the completed Diary tier.

• The word Ectofuntus appears to be a portmanteau of Ectoplasm, a physical manifestation of spiritual energy, and Funtus, which is derived from the Latin word for fountain, Fons, or perhaps Little Fountain, Fonticulus.
• There is an inaccessible, miniature Ectofuntus in the lower section of the boat west of the charter boat in Port Phasmatys. Dialogue with the ghost captain suggests that ectoplasm can be used as a form of power. When examined, it says "It's a small ectofuntus."
• The symbol top of the staff that Necrovarus is holding is shaped like the Ectofuntus, with the circle around it representing the "glow" coming from it.
• The Ectofuntus is referred to as the Ectofunctus in the original Ghosts Ahoy! announcement blog post.
