Walkthrough

Starting out

Items needed: None.
  • Talk to Martin the Master Gardener in Draynor Village. (Chat 2•1•1)
    • Note: Do not pickpocket Martin or you won't be able to continue for 10 minutes of in-game time.
  • Talk to 5 Group of Advanced Gardeners members. They are any of the gardeners found near farming patches that tend to your crops. Any of them will work except for Ayesha in Al Kharid, and ones found on Great Kourend. Note: The following is a suggested path you can take to speak to farmers quickly:
    • Run north-west and talk to Elstan Allotment/Flower/Herb patch. (Chat 1)
      • If you do not have secateurs or a spade, buy them from the Sarah in the building next to the cabbage patch.
    • Run south and talk to Frizzy Skernip. (Chat 1)
    • GE spirit tree teleport to Gnome Stronghold, run east and talk to Bolongo. (Chat 1)
    • Run south-west and talk to Prissy Scilla at the tree patch. (Chat 1)
    • Teleport to Falador, run east to the park and talk to Heskel at the tree patch. (Ring of wealth's Falador teleport option takes you there directly). (Chat 1)
  • Return to the Draynor Village market and talk to Martin. (Chat 2)

Trouble in Zanaris

Items needed: dramen staff or Lunar staff, and one free inventory space.

Getting the Magic Secateurs

Items needed: 3 assigned items (see link), secateurs, Ghostspeak amulet, Draynor skull (or spade to dig one)
Items recommended: Salve graveyard teleport, a filled druid pouch (so items that may be rotten by ghasts are protected)

Note: Take a filled druid pouch with you if you have to collect any items that may be rotten by ghasts or they may turn them into rotten food.

Battle the Tanglefoot

Items needed: dramen staff, magic secateurs, food, and armour.
This fight takes place in an instance.
On death, all unprotected items will be moved to a grave outside the instance. Any items left on the ground will be lost.
  • Travel to Zanaris with your Magic secateurs and prepare for the Tanglefoot fight.
  • Run south of the wheat fields to the Cosmic Altar and squeeze-through the gap in the western wall.
  • Equip your Magic secateurs, run to the end of the tunnel and defeat Tanglefoot. (Turn on Protect from Melee if you have the level for it. You can also lure the Tanglefoot around the mushrooms to the east to be able to flinch it.)
  • Pick up the Queen's secateurs.
  • Talk to the Fairy Godfather.
  • Congratulations, quest complete!
