The Start-

To start the quest you speak to Rat Burgiss at the yellow circle on the map to the right. He will tell you that he was robbed at that some very important papers were stolen. Say you will help him and he will give you an empty folder to put the papers in. Then head up to the red circle on the map, where you will find some level 32 outlaws, you must kill 5 of them.

Transporting Items-

Kill them and grab the papers they drop. You can try to read the papers but wont learn anything interesting, it just says they have a bunch of facts and figures. Use the papers on the folder to put them inside. Once the folder is full head back to Rat Burgiss and talk to him. He will take the folder from you, and almost tell you a secret. Instead he decides to instead make you send a letter to Surok Magis, a magician in the varrok library. You can read the letter but its not in in a real language. Give Surok the letter, he will read it then destroy it. Then he will tell that he knows how to turn clay into gold bars but needs some supplies. He will give you a metal wand which you need to infuse with the power of chaos runes and a diary to help you find a shortcut into the chaos altar.

The Chaos Altar Shortcut-

On the book cases on the east side of the room you will find the old tomb which will say something about people dissapearing near the statue of Saradomin. You dont have to take the shortcut to complete the quest though, you can use the ruins or the abyss. If you wish to take the shortcut head to the statue of sarodmin at the blue circle on the map above. Talk to Anna Jones and he will give you a bronze pickaxe (the statue has a spell guarding it from any other type) Excavate the statue and you will mine a hole in it. Then enter and you will appear in a tunnel. Head north through the tunnel until you come to a portal, enter it and you will be in the altar area. Get to the altar and the use the wand on it to infuse it with power.

Save the King-

Head back to Surok and give him the infused wand and a bowl. He will then hand you a letter you must take to Rat Burgiss, and this letter is actually readable. Give the letter to Rat and he will finally decide to tell you his secret. He is actually the Commander of the Varrok Palace Secret Guard. Surok's spell was not to make gold, it was actually a mind control spell which he means to use to control the king. Rat tells you that you need to go to the Staff Shop in varrok and talk to Zaff and ask about the counter spell he came up with. Zaff will give you instructions and a ring, you have to get the king to near death then use the ring to summon Zaff so he can counter the mind control spell. When you are ready to fight the level 47 king, go talk to Surok again. Tell him to bring it on and King Roald will walk into the room. Surok will mind control him and the King will start attacking you. Once you get him to 0 health operate the ring and Zaff will appear. He will use a spell on Roald, teleport Roald away, and then teleblock the room when Surok tries to escape. Now just go talk to Rat and the quest will be complete!
