Gotta do homework; I'll do more later.
Introduction!
As with all connoisseurs, Osman the spy loves his sq'irk juice. It's tasty, lovable, and goes down just right. However, Osman recently got into a little arguement with his magical supplier, and she is no longer selling him any juice! He can no longer think straight and his craving for sq'irk is reaching the breaking point. Osman needs your help! In return, he will supply you with an unlimited thieving experience, and you will gain some farming experience as well!
Note: This is a
safe mini-game. You cannot be killed unless you were poisoned. Cats are not allowed in the mini-game.
Requirements
You must have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest to do this mini-game.
There are four different areas in this mini-game: Winter, Spring, Autumn, and Summer. Each area has been magically replicated to represent the seasons. Each area contains a sq'irk tree of a specific ripeness. Winter is underripe, Spring is slightly underripe, Autumn is slightly overripe, and Summer is just right. Anybody can access the winter garden, however the others have locks that inexperienced thieves may find hard to pick. The Spring area requires a Thieving level of 25. The Autumn area requires a Thieving level of 45. Finally, the Summer area requires a Thieving level of 65.
Location
The Sorceress's Garden mini-game is located in Al Kharid. Talk to Osman to begin the mini-game.
Items
The only items required for this mini-game are beers mugs, a pestle and mortar, and space for the fruits/herbs. If using the Winter Garden, the maximum beer mugs is 18 (space for pestle and mortar and the fruit). If using Spring, the maximum is 19. If using Autumn, 20 maximum. If using Summer, 21 maximum.
Players that own a Catspeak amulet (can be obtained during the Icthlarin's Little Helper quest) may find it useful in gaining advice from a certain feline near the gardens.
Starting Out
To begin, talk to Osman near the Al Kharid Palace. He will tell you about his little sq'irk dilemma and request your help. Go southeast past the Skirt Shop until you reach a house with an Apprentice inside. The Apprentice has been mistreated and overworked. She knows some of the magic used to create the magical Garden where the sq'irks grow, and will teleport you there if you put up with her complaining. To access the Garden after the initial talk, merely right-click on the Apprentice and click on "Teleport."
The Game
Once teleported, you'll find yourself in a large Garden with a fountain in the middle. To the north is the Summer Garden, the west the Winter Garden, the south the Autumn Garden, and to the East the Spring Garden.
