Port Piscarilius/Historical

Earning Piscarilius favour can be done by assisting with repairing the fishing cranes, taking fish to the market, hunting grubs on the beach and stealing artefacts from houses.

To progress in the Architectural Alliance miniquest, players must gain 100% Piscarilius favour and speak to Piliar, who is found in the building directly north-west of the general store.

There are five fishing cranes found throughout Port Piscarilius that consistently break, and must be repaired: three are found outside the foodhall (two west and one south) and two on the dock with Leenz's General Supplies.

In order to repair fishing cranes, players must be at least level 30 Crafting. Players will also need a hammer, some nails (of any type), and three planks to repair a fishing crane. Each fixed crane awards 0.5% favour, in addition to an amount of Crafting experience equal to three times the player's Crafting level. Leenz's General Supplies sells iron nails if players need them.

It takes three planks and up to 100 nails (depending on the player's Crafting level) to repair one crane. Obtaining 20% favour requires 120 planks and approximately 1,000 nails. Players with high Crafting levels may use no more than 40 per crane; at 99 Crafting repairing a crane takes about 15 nails on average.

The more people that are working, the faster the crane gets repaired, so it is recommended to repair cranes with other people, likely found in busier worlds. If you cannot find other players, repair the same crane that the dock worker is repairing. The cranes break very quickly, often making hopping unnecessary; however, players may hop worlds looking specifically for broken cranes. The unofficial world for this activity is 303.

It's recommended to stay at the two cranes by the general store, as this allows one to sell noted planks to the general store for 0 coins and buy them back for 1 coin, saving bank trips. Keep the majority in your inventory as small amounts disappear from the store or can be bought by other players. This does not work for ironmen due to the store becoming overstocked. Alternatively, a plank sack can be used, allowing players to carry an additional 28 planks.

The easiest method of gathering planks for ultimate ironmen is to use the Lovakengj Minecart Network to travel to the Woodcutting Guild, cut regular trees, turn them into planks at the sawmill, and take the minecart back to the Piscarilius area. If the Minecart Network isn't unlocked, an alternative is to walk from the Woodcutting Guild to Veos and use him to travel to Port Piscarilius.

Once players reach 15% favour, players with level 15 Fishing can assist Frankie in delivering fresh fish to the cooling chest inside his store for favour. Fresh fish degrades into nothing after about a minute, so players must be fast.

It is recommended to collect fresh fish from the three barrels directly west of Frankie. Players can pick up around 20 fresh fish before they start disappearing (but you can do 25 if you are good at it). Players gain an average of 0.4% favour per delivery, and are granted some Fishing experience as well.

This method is quite a bit slower than repairing fishing cranes and it is recommended to stick with repairing fishing cranes from 15% favour to 20%.

Once players reach 20% favour, they can start the Queen of Thieves quest. This quest requires completion of Client of Kourend and level 20 Thieving. Completion of the quest will grant a Piscarilius favour certificate worth 10% favour.

This is the fastest method of gaining favour; After players reach 30% favour, players with level 15 in Hunter can hunt for sandworms (10 Hunter experience per find) in the area north of Tynan's Fishing Supplies. Doing so requires a spade and at least five buckets. Each bucket of sandworms delivered to Tynan rewards around 0.36% favour. The shop also has a large stock of buckets. It is recommended to bring coins, as Tynan takes the entire bucket instead of emptying them. A bank is also nearby to the west.

The chance of obtaining sandworms is between 65% and 75% depending on the player's Hunter level.^[1]

In order to dig up the worms faster, once the animation begins, the player can begin running to the next location.

Ironmen may choose to save the buckets of sand for training Crafting with glassblowing.

Once players reach 75% favour, players with level 49 in Thieving can talk to Captain Khaled in the foodhall south-east of the bank to get an assignment. Players will need a lockpick to pick the lock on the drawers, and they will have to avoid being caught by the patrolmen. A successful heist awards a few hundred coins, and 2% Piscarilius favour. In addition you earn 750 Thieving experience for successfully picking the lock and retrieving the artefact and additional Thieving experience equal to 40 times your Thieving level for safely delivering the artefact to Captain Khaled. Note, if you logout or teleport after acquiring the artefact but before you safely deliver it you will report to Khaled that you lost the item and will have to get another task.

• Earning 100% favour will take players several hours of doing cranes, fresh fish, or less than an hour of digging for sandworms.
• Players can bring noted planks and money to sell and buy back an inventory's worth of planks using the general store.
• Always use the west-to-east method when collecting fresh fish, and leaving 20 inventory slots open will help you remember when to deliver your fish.
• After the buff was applied to the rate of obtaining sandworms, it is recommended to dig sandworms from 30% to 100% favour. Collecting a full inventory of sandworms takes a couple of minutes and nets you around 10.4% favour (26 buckets), so it's quite a bit faster than the other methods.

• At 20% favour, players can access Kenelme's Wares.
• At 30% favour, Frankie's Fishing Emporium will start stocking some of its inventory.
• At 75% favour, players can help Captain Khaled steal artefacts from the residential district in Port Piscarilius. Training Thieving in this manner grants moderate experience per hour.
• At 100% favour, players can catch anglerfish with a fishing rod and sandworms as bait. Level 82 Fishing is required to catch them.
