Description	The Wizard Grayzag has summoned hundreds of little imps. They have stolen a lot of things belonging to the Wizard Mizgog including his magic beads.
Requirements	None
Items required	Black bead Yellow bead Red bead White bead
Recommended	(Members only) Fast travel to the Wizards' Tower (necklace of passage, amulet of glory to Draynor Village, or Fairy Rings to DIS)
Enemies to defeat	Multiple imps (level 2) (optional unless ironman)
League notes	Not completable, as it requires access to Misthalin.

Make your way to the Wizards' Tower, south of Draynor Village and over a long stone bridge. Climb the stairs, and go up to the 2^nd floor. Talk to Wizard Mizgog and ask him questions to find out that he needs your help. He will tell you that Wizard Grayzag's imps have stolen his beads and he wants you to get them back for him. He needs you to collect:

• A black bead - 1,399
• A yellow bead - 1,138
• A red bead - 1,732
• A white bead - 1,548

Note: You can collect the beads in advance without starting the quest to save additional trips to the Wizards' Tower.

Beads are only obtained as a 5/128 drop from imps, buying them through the Grand Exchange, or trading with other players. Because of the relatively low drop rate, many players may choose to buy beads on the Grand Exchange to avoid the hassle of killing imps (for a total cost of 5,817).

If looking to collect the beads as a drop, imps commonly spawn throughout Gielinor, and you might consider collecting them passively over time when encountering them. Alternatively, you can use some of the following hotspots where many spawn at a time:

• East of the Ardougne Monastery
• On top of the Karamja Volcano (be aware of level 14 scorpions in this area)
• Southern entrance to Falador
• In a basement in Kastori

Every 30–120 seconds there is a 25% chance for an imp to disappear into a puff of smoke and teleport a short distance away. Using Magic or Ranged is recommended to reduce downtime when killing them.

Once you have all four beads, return to Wizard Mizgog and give them to him to finish the quest. He won't accept them one at a time, so Ultimate Ironmen should plan to get the whole thing done at once.

• The colours of the four beads could be a reference to the steps of the alchemical Magnum Opus: Nigredo (blackening) Albedo (whitening), Citrinitas (yellowing), and Rubedo (reddening).
• Beginning the quest with all four beads already in hand brings up special dialogue.
  • Player: Well this is a surprising turn of events!
  • Wizard Mizgog: What?
  • Player: Well I just so happen to have all of those beads on me!
  • Wizard Mizgog: Are you saying that you stole my beads all this time and I've been blaming these imps!?
  • Player: No, not at all! I just found them throughout my travels and presumed somebody would need them at some point.
  • Wizard Mizgog: Bah! Fine.
  • Wizard Mizgog: Give them here and I'll check that they really are MY beads, before I give you your reward. You'll like it, it's an amulet of accuracy.
