- Skill Requirements:
- 18 Slayer

Desert Treasure I & Desert Treasure II: The Fallen Empire – Ancient Spell Book & Four New Bosses
The original “Desert Treasure I” is one of the most iconic quests in Old School RuneScape. However, it comes with a fair bit of requirements, and you will need to defeat four different bosses to complete it:

Ancient Spells, specifically the Barrage spells, are also used in PvP fights and for high-experience/high-cost Magic training methods.
The sequel to this quest, “Desert Treasure II – The Fallen Empire”, is a Grandmaster-level quest that provides even more essential rewards for endgame accounts, but not without its own even harsher requirements:

After defeating many incredibly tough bosses, you will earn up to 300k experience between three combat skills of your choice and be able to fight the four primary bosses from the quest.
These four bosses provide an intense combat experience, but they also offer the chance to earn millions of GP per hour and the four Best-in-Slot rings in Old School RuneScape.
Dragon Slayer II – Vorkath, the Myths’ Guild, New BIS Items, and new Slayer Monsters
The sequel to the F2P quest “Dragon Slayer” (which allows you to wear the Rune Platebody and Green D’Hide), the “Dragon Slayer II” quest is also a Grandmaster-level quest that poses a challenge to even the most experienced of players.
Requirements to complete this quest include:

You will also be able to enter the Myth’s Guild, which has a multitude of functions such as the Fountain of Uhld to recharge Dragonstone jewelry, the Wrath Altar, location to buy Myth Capes, and learning how to make Super Antifire Potions.
You will also be able to repeatedly fight the harder version of Vorkath, one of the best ways to make money in Old School RuneScape.
Vorkath itself drops a plethora of rewards, as you can earn nearly 1m gp/hr (without getting incredibly rare drops).
Players can also fight Rune and Adamant Dragons, both as a Slayer task and off task.
There are also so many more items and lore unlocks that you will earn by completing this quest, making it nearly essential to complete when possible.
Fairytale II: Cure A Queen – Fairy Rings
Often completed by medium-level accounts, the “Fairytale II – Cure A Queen” quest grants players one of the most useful unlocks in Old School RuneScape: Fairy Rings.
However, this quest still has a few requirements to complete:
- Completed Quests:
- Fairytale I – Growing Pains
- Skill Requirements:
- 40 Thieving
- 49 Farming
- 57 Herblore
While you don’t technically need to complete this quest to unlock Fairy Rings, it will still be beneficial to do so.
Fairy Rings allow players to teleport nearly everywhere in Gielinor. With a Dramen/Lunar Staff in hand (or not if you have completed the Elite Tier Lumbridge & Draynor Achievement Diary), you can go to any Fairy Ring, input a code, and teleport to wherever you’d like.
Fairy Rings can be used to make skilling grinds more efficient, to make quick resupply trips between bosses or Slayer tasks, or to reach certain locations just outside the comfort zone of a more common teleport destination.
Fairy Rings are commonly used at every skill level and should be unlocked immediately.
King’s Ransom – Chivalry & Piety Prayers
Part of the Camelot quest line, the “King’s Ransom” quest isn’t too long but still provides a useful reward for players often engaging in melee combat. Thankfully, the requirements for this quest are not too difficult:
- Completed Quests:
- Black Knights’ Fortress
- Holy Grail
- Murder Mystery
- One Small Favour
- Skill Requirements:
- 45 Magic
- 65 Defence
Once you complete this quest, you can access the Knight Waves Training Grounds. This minigame tests your melee abilities by fighting through the various members of the Knights of Camelot.
After fighting all of them and completing the waves, you will unlock the ability to use the Chivalry and Piety prayers (along with having 60 Prayer or 70 Prayer).
These prayers give you incredible Offensive and Defensive melee bonuses that can be used in every combat scenario.
Often, this quest is used as a major stepping stone for players attempting to get involved in raid or high-level bossing, as using the Piety prayer specifically will greatly increase your DPS and defensive capabilities during fights.
Monkey Madness II – Demonic Gorillas, Maniacal Monkeys, Royal Seed Pod
”Monkey Madness II” is a Grandmaster-level quest and is the sequel to “Monkey Madness I”.
While MM1 has plenty of excellent rewards (including large amounts of rewards experience and being able to equip the fabled Dragon Scimitar), “Monkey Madness II” comes with even more incredible rewards after completing multiple puzzles and fighting tough bosses.
Being this is a tough quest, “Monkey Madness II” has a large list of requirements to complete:

Maniacal Monkeys and the rest of Kruk’s Dungeon are also unlocked, often used as a training method to level your Magic quickly and Ranged skills at incredible rates (often through Ancient Magicks and Chinchompas).
You will also be able to fight Demonic Gorillas at the Crashed Site Cavern, a high-level monster that fights with all three combat styles for the chance to earn around 1m gp/hr (as well as get the Zenyte Shard drop, which currently sells for around 15m).
Royal Seed Pods can also be purchased, giving you unlimited teleports to the Grand Tree. This item is especially useful for Pkers because it works up to 30 Wilderness (it is the only item to do so).
Beyond the combat unlocks, you also unlock several new skill training methods and can explore the rest of Ape Atoll without being in Monkey Form.
Priest in Peril – Access to Morytania
While a certain Swampman may favour this quest above all others, completing the “Priest in Peril,” quest allows you to access Morytania. The quest itself is considered relatively easy and does not have any hard requirements.
Morytania includes a large portion of content that would otherwise be cut off if this quest isn’t completed.
While it predominantly serves as the base to the rest of the Morytania/Vampyre quest series, completing “Priest in Peril” also unlocks:
- Canifis, Burgh de Rott, Port Phasmatys, Harmony Island, and Meiyerdich – Multiple Cities

Recipe for Disaster – Barrows Gloves
One of the longest and most iconic quests in Old School RuneScape, “Recipe for Disaster,” is the 100th quest introduced to Old School RuneScape, and more so acts as 9 different quests merged into one. That being said, this quest has a laundry list of requirements:

More importantly, you can purchase Barrows Gloves from the Culinaromancer’s Chest in the Lumbridge Castle Basement.
These gloves are some of the best gloves in Old School RuneScape in terms of balanced combat stats, as they give you +12 all-around Offensive and Defensive combat stats (aside from Magic, which is +6), as well as a +12 Strength bonus.
These gloves are essential to creating an optimal combat setup, as they are also used to create Ferocious Gloves after completing the “Dragon Slayer II” quest.
Those are the best quest rewards in Old School RuneScape!
