Trading sticks are the main currency of the jungle village of Tai Bwo Wannai on Karamja. They can be received by participating in the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame, selling items to Gabooty's Tai Bwo Wannai Cooperative, or killing Karamja-related monsters such as jogres.

Acquiring trading sticks

Selling gems to Gabooty

The most efficient way to acquire trading sticks is to buy semi-precious gems (opal, jade, red topaz) and sell them to Gabooty. Buying cut opals from the Grand Exchange results in the best trading sticks exchange rate. Mining gem rocks in the Shilo Village mine and selling the gems to Gabooty is the fastest way to obtain trading sticks for Ironmen.

He will purchase the following from players:

Note: Players must have their Karamja gloves equipped to receive the increased amount of trading sticks.

Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup

An alternative way of receiving trading sticks is to participate in the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame, as players will want to get 100% Tai Bwo Wannai favour to complete a task in the medium Karamja Diary.

Participating in the minigame will give players favour with the villagers. If players talk to the villagers and tell them they've done some work, they will give the player some trading sticks in exchange for some of the player's favour. Wearing pieces of the villager clothing set will cause the villagers to give you more trading sticks at once in exchange for favour.

Note: Players need to have repaired the fence in the village and then spoken to Murcaily before the villagers will have the option to give them trading sticks.

Uses

The Village Shop

Gabooty's Tai Bwo Wannai Cooperative is located within the fenced area of Tai Bwo Wannai. Players can trade for premade gnome cocktails, villager clothes, gem machetes, semi-precious gems (opal, jade, red topaz), and gout tubers. By default, the shop does not have any gems or gout tubers in stock.

Hardwood Grove

Players can pay 100 trading sticks to access the Hardwood Grove, an enclosed area near the eastern end of the village containing mahogany and teak trees. This fee is incurred upon each entry to the Hardwood Grove.

Rionasta's Parcel Service

Players can, for a fee of 10 trading sticks per item, ship items from their inventory to their bank via Rionasta. This is particularly handy when cutting wood in the Hardwood grove, playing the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame or banking loot obtained from Brimhaven Dungeon via Banisoch's entrance.

No forms of currency can be shipped using this method.

Banisoch

5000 trading sticks can be used as a one-time payment to Banisoch to access a shortcut to the metal dragon area of the Brimhaven Dungeon. These can be bought on the GE for 35,000.
