53 Cooking and Fishing (50 Fishing with a Fishing Potion), 50 Mining, and 25 Herblore.
Quests: You must have at
least 55 Quest Points, and you must have already completed the Shield of Arrav, Dragon Slayer, Lost City and Merlin's Crystal Quests.
Gang Members
: A friend from a rival gang (either Phoenix of Black Arm) is needed. If you're a Phoenix Gang member, you need someone
from the Black Arm Gang, and a Black Arm Gang member needs a Phoenix Gang member.
What You Need: A Fishing Rod and
Bait, a Pickaxe, Water-Filled Vial and some Harralander. Phoenix Gang members need a Bow and Arrows, Black Arm Gang members
need Black Legs, a Platemail Body, and a Full Helmet.
Getting Started
Firstly, head to the Heroes Guild located north of Taverly and speak to Achietties Ask
her about joining the Heroes Guild, and eventually she will tell you that you must retrieve an Entranean Firebird Feather,
a Cooked Lava Eel, and a Master Thief Armband to prove that you are worthy of the title "Hero."
The Firebird Feather
So let's start off with getting a Firebird Feather. To get 1 of these, you must kill a Firebird on Entrana Island, which
sounds quite easy. Of course, it's a bit more complicated! You must have a pair of Ice Gloves to pick up this feather, for
it is too hot to carry without them. The only way to obtain a pair is to kill a level 111 Ice Queen.
Get a Pickaxe, armor, weapons and anything else for the battle. Head to White Wolf Mountain, located west of Taverly and
walk north until you find a Landslide. Use your Pickaxe to clear a path, and then climb down the southern-most ladder into
the Ice Cavern.
The Ice Cavern is a bit tricky to navigate and you'll be facing various ice creatures such as level 53 Ice Giants, 57 Ice
Warriors, and 61 Ice Spiders, so don't forget food!
When you enter, you'll be near the green ladder on the map. Take the southwest passage and climb up the blue ladder. Next,
climb down the east ladder and you'll be back in the ice cavern near the yellow ladder. Follow that passage north, east and
then south to the red ladder. Climb up and then climb down the next ladder (purple on the map). To the north you'll find the
level 111 Ice Queen. Kill her and take the Ice Gloves, and then exit the cavern.
Now drop any weapons and armor off at the bank, and head to the Port Sarim Dock. Speak to the Monks of Entrana and take
the boat to Entrana. At the north side of the island you should find the level 2 Firebird wandering around. Kill it,
and while wearing your newly found Ice Gloves, pick up the Firebird Feather.
The Lava Eel
Lava Eels can only be fished from a river of Lava, located in a dungeon south of Taverly. Speak to Gerrant, the
owner of the Port Sarim Fishing Shop about fishing for Lava Eels. He will give you a bottle of Blamish Snail Slime. Now you'll
need a Fishing Rod, some Bait, Harralander and a water-filled Vial. Mix the Harralander into the water, and then mix in the
Blamish Snail Slime. Use the mixture on a Fishing Rod to make an Oily Fishing Rod.
Now it's time to fish for the eel, but before you go you'll need a few things. Be sure to bring your Oily Fishing Rod and
Bait, decent food, an Antipoison Potion, Dragonfire Shield, along with your weapon and armor. Now head to Taverly, and then
south until you find a ladder surrounded by dead trees. Climb down and you'll be in the dungeon.
Follow along the passage, past the Skeletons, Ghosts, Black Knights, and through the Animated Axe room. After that, you'll
see some lava, along with some Poison Scorpions. Run south past them until you find yourself in a large room with Black Knights.
In the eastern part of the room is a Jailer, who you can kill for his Jail Key.
Open the cell holding Velrak the Explorer, and free him in exchange for the Dusty Key. Leave this area and head
north back to the Poison Scorpions. Climb over the bridge, past the Chaos Dwarves and over the next bridge, where you'll find
some Lesser Demons. Run north past them and unlock the door to the west using the Dusty Key.
Head west past the Blue Dragons, and then south to the river of Lava. Now you can fish for all the Lava Eels you want!
Once you're finished, leave the dungeon by either teleporting or by heading back through the entire dungeon. Now just cook
the Lava Eel.
The Master Thieve's Armband
For this part of the quest, you'll need a partner from the opposite gang from the Shield of Arrav Quest. Phoenix
Gang members need a Blackarm Gang Member, and vice versa for Blackarm Gang members.
Blackarm Gang Members:
Go talk to your Gang Leader Katrine in Varrock and eventually she will give you the password "Four Leaf Clover."
She wants you to steal a Candlestick from Scar Face Pete in Brimhaven. You'll need some money to get to Karamja, along with
some Black armor including Legs, a Helmet, and a Chain or Platemail Body.
Head to Brimhaven and you'll see a house southeast of the Shrimp and Parrot Pub with 2 of the Black Arm Gang's contacts
named Gruber and Trobert. They will give you some ID papers to get into the mansion to the west. Be sure to
put on your Black Armor!
Once inside, speak to the soldier named Grip. After selecting a few options and asking what you can do to help,
he will give you a Miscellaneous Key. Give this to your Phoenix Gang friend, and when both of you are ready, go to the northeast
room. Open the cupboard to attract Grip's attention, and your partner should shoot him with arrows until he is dead.
Take the key he drops, and then use it to gain access to the storage room to the west. Search the chest and take 2 Candlesticks.
Give 1 to your partner that helped, and bring the other to Katrine for the Master Thieve's Armband!
Phoenix Gang Members:
Speak to your Gang Leader Straven in Varrock and ask him about the Master Thieve's Armband. He wants you to steal
some Candlesticks from Scar Face Pete, and he will eventually release the password "Gherkin." Now grab enough money for a
trip to Brimhaven, as well as a Bow and enough arrows to kill a tough level 26 soldier. Once on Karamja, head to Brimhaven
and wait for your partner.
Your partner should have a Miscellaneous Key for you, so get it from them, go to the Shrimp and Parrot Pub and talk to
Alfonse the Waiter. Give him the password and he'll give you some handy tips. Now talk to Charlie the Cook and
he'll hint at the fact that the wall is actually a door. It's the western wall next to the stove and cooking utensils.
Now go through the tedious Dog Labyrinth to meet your partner who should be leading the notorious Grip into the room for
you to shoot with arrows. Once you've killed him, your partner should grab the Key that he drops and use it to get into the
storage room with 2 Candlesticks. They should give you 1 to bring to Straven, and you'll be off on your merry way with a Master
Thieve's Armband!
