Binding necklace

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Binding necklace detail.png
The **Binding necklace** is enchanted jewellery that gives the wearer a 100% success rate in making combination runes through the Runecrafting skill. It has 15 charges and will be destroyed once all are used. One charge is used per batch of combination runes crafted, instead of each time the altar is entered or for each rune crafted.

**It currently costs 76.73 coins for each use of a binding necklace.**

Players with 27 Magic or higher can make it by casting Enchant Level 2 Jewellery on an Emerald necklace. It can also be obtained as a drop by the monsters in the Abyss.

The enchanted necklace has a slightly different appearance than its normal counterpart. A binding necklace is given to the player during the quest Rune Mechanics.

Similar to the ring of recoil and unlike most other charged jewellery, the binding necklace's charge is tracked by player instead of by item.

**Note:** The Binding necklace does not negate the need of the opposing talisman, which is achieved with the Lunar spell Magic Imbue.

## Trivia

* If the player crafts combination runes without wearing a binding necklace, they will receive the message "You attempt to bind the Runes." If they are wearing one, it becomes "You bind the temple's power into [type] runes."
* The value of one Binding necklace in Mobilising Armies is 286 Investment Credits.

Bedsheet

{{#NewWindowLink:2007:Bedsheet|}}
This article is about "Ghost Ahoy" quest item. For item used in the 2009 Christmas event, see Bedsheets.

Bedsheet
 Weight | 1 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Bedsheet chathead.png
The **Bedsheet** is obtained from the innkeeper of Port Phasmatys during the Ghosts Ahoy quest to be given to Robin Hood in a nearby room. It is worn in the head slot.

Although it is brown when received, it can be changed to a light green colour by covering it in ectoplasm, making it a ectoplasm-covered bedsheet. To do this, players must dip it into the pool of slime on the bottom floor of the cavern beneath the Ectofuntus or dip it into a bucket of slime collected from the pool. Although this is supposed to make you resemble a ghost, when talking to residents of the port, they will merely joke at you.

When worn, the bedsheet makes the player resemble a classic "bedsheet" ghost. The bedsheet is not wearable in any other place than Port Phasmatys; attempting to do so will result in receiving a message, stating: "I'll only wear the bedsheet inside Port Phasmatys."

It is impossible to charter a ship while you are carrying a bedsheet.

## Trivia

* Players cannot run or rest while wearing a bedsheet.
Berserker

This article is about the Ancient Curse. For other uses, see Berserker (disambiguation).

**Berserker**
 Book
 Effect

[view] • [talk]
**Berserker** is a curse from the Ancient Curses prayer book. This book is unlocked after completing the The Temple at Senntisten quest. When Berserker is activated, all boosted combat stats last 15% longer than normal. This prayer can save players money because they will need fewer stat boosters such as potions to keep their stats boosted. This is especially true for extreme potions, as they are untradeable and give very large boosts to only combat stats. Players should be aware that if Berserker is deactivated before the potion boost wears off, stats may fall at a rapid rate for a short period of time. This prayer can be very useful in keeping boosted stats near maximum for longer periods.

The Berserker prayer does NOT work with Overloads' timer; the only effect it has with overloads is the time taken for the stats to lower by 1 which is increased by 15%. However, this isn't of much use because overloads restore to the maximum boost every 15 seconds.

Flashing the berserker curse using mousekeys and rapidly clicking the "+" button will allow player's stats to be prolonged without using any prayer points.

Battlestaff

{{#NewWindowLink:2007:Battlestaff|}}
This article is about the basic item. For other uses, see Battlestaff (disambiguation).

Battlestaff

[view] **•** [talk]

A **Battlestaff** is a members-only staff which boosts Magic. It requires 30 Magic to wield. Mostly, though, it is useful in making elemental battlestaves. By using the appropriate (earth, water, fire, air) charge orb spell on an Obelisk with an unpowered orb in your inventory, you can make an elemental orb, which you can then attach to the top of the battlestaff. Then, you can take it to Thormac (if you've done Scorpion Catcher) to make a mystic staff for 40,000 coins. Visually the battlestaff is identical to the staff and the dramen staff, although the battlestaff holds better stats. If combined with orb of Armadyl, it can be made into an armadyl battlestaff (must have completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat and have 77 Crafting).

## Obtaining battlestaves

### By purchase

Battlestaves can be bought from:

* Baba Yaga's Magic Shop on Lunar Isle (20 in stock every 24 hours)
* Haf's Battlestaves at the Elven grimoire in Prifddinas (20 in stock every 24 hours)
* Lunet, an Elven girl at the Elven grimoire who sells 16 per day to players who have completed the Tirannwn Hard tasks
* The Mage Training Arena
* Naff's Knockoff Staves in Varrock. The amount a player can purchase depends on how much progress has been made in the Varrock Tasks, and they will be noted:

 No Diary Complete

All shops sell battlestaves for 7,000 coins each by default.

The RuneScape day begins at 00:00 GMT.

Before the shop improvement update on 2 October 2007, you could also buy them from the magic store owner at the Wizards' Guild in Yanille.

### From drops

* It is also possible to obtain a battlestaff as a reward from eclectic implings in the Impetuous Impulses minigame, or from silver chests in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame.
* It is also possible to obtain 180-220 noted battlestaves as a drop from any monster which gives access to the rare drop table, you **DO NOT** need to be wearing a ring of wealth to gain access to this.

A big bottle of raw fear. Creepy.
**Big bottle of fear** was used as an ingredient for making moonshine in the 2010 Hallowe'en event. It could be obtained by searching the buffet table.

## Trivia

* If a player left the Grim Reaper's house with this item, the message "The Halloween items vanish. You feel a little strange." would show in the chatbox. This message also shows up if only one item is held when leaving.
* The colour of the drink is a likely reference to yellow being the colour of cowardice.

Black platebody (bugged)

Black platebody (bugged)
 Weight | 2 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
A **black platebody (bugged)** is a piece of armour used in The Void Stares Back. It has been modified by Korasi to record the player's movements. When worn along with a Black full helm (bugged) and Black platelegs (bugged), the player can infiltrate the Black Knights' Fortress. The armour has the same bonuses as a normal black platebody.
Black demon/Strategies

Despite their combat level, Black demons have fairly low defence. However, they are usually one of the most dangerous monsters in the dungeons they inhabit because of their accuracy and high max hit. Note: that when planning to train prayer with the ashes that are dropped, it is advised to bring infernal urns as this will grant more experience than just spreading the ashes.

### Melee

While using melee used to be a cost-effective method of killing them, due to their new magic attack and its accuracy, many players planning to melee will find they are getting damaged often. It is recommended to use protection prayers to reduce some of the damage. You should also have good armour, food, and have a defence level of at least 80. A healing familiar and ring of life are optional although highly recommended. Prayer flashing can also be used to reduce consumption of prayer points, but requires fast reflexes and good timing. Finally, those with level 92 Prayer can utilise the Soul Split curse to heal slightly with every damaging hit.

Guthan's set-effect is useful when training on Black Demons. Please note that the demons can damage you very fast and you may not be able to heal fast enough unless you have 80+ Defence. In case the effect of the armour set can't heal enough on the black demons, there are usually weaker monsters nearby that the player can heal on, such as wild dogs or earth warriors.

The Darklight is a very cheap and effective weapon against Black demons if you have fairly high stats. It is especially helpful if you are on a task and use your Slayer helm.

Items: 4-6 Prayer pots, Super or Extreme sets, 2-3 Prayer renewals, 10-15 pieces of food, a summoning potion or super restore(if you have familiar).

### Ranged

Ranging black demons is the most effective way to kill black demons. Post-EoC, they have gained a magic attack ability, which makes safe-spotting tactics obsolete. As black demons are weak against bolts, one effective way of killing them is by using the Black salamander or higher grade range weapons.

### Magic

Magic is not recommended due to black demons having high defence against magic, leading to the low speed and max hits of magical attacks slowing down kills in comparison to using range unless one's ranging level is extremely low. In addition, the cost for runes can add up to losses over time, even when collecting the dropped infernal ashes. The lone exception to this is the Polypore staff, especially at higher magic levels, because of its cheap usage cost, high maximum damage, and the profitability of infernal ashes. When combined with a Extreme magic/Overload potion, an arcane stream necklace and a Hexcrest/Full slayer helmet (on slayer tasks), the Polypore staff can yield fairly fast kills.

### Dwarf Cannon

Use of the Dwarf Multicannon is not recommended. Since the EoC, the cannon is no longer effective against Black Demons. Using the cannon would also cause many demons to attack you.
Black spear

Black spear

A detailed image of a black spear.
The **Black spear** is a two handed melee weapon.

To obtain a black spear, a player can buy one from another player, buy it from the Grand Exchange, receive it as a monster drop, receive it as a gift from turning vampyre juvinates into humans, or from looting a chest in the shade catacombs of Mort'ton while participating in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. Like all black weapons, this requires an attack level of 25.

*As with all black equipment, this item **cannot** be made from raw materials using the Smithing skill.*

## Trivia

* There is no white spear. This makes the black spear one of only a few pieces of black equipment that has no white equivalent.
* There used to be glitch in which if the player didn't have the 10 Attack requirement to wield the spear and attempts to wield it, a message in the chat box would appear saying: 'You need a Ranged level of 10.'
* Originally, although other metal spears had an attack speed of 5, the black spear only had an attack speed of 4. This was most likely an oversight by Jagex that occurred when they first increased the attack speed of spears with the release of Barrows.
	+ When poisoned however, the black spear had the correct attack speed of 5.
* Before the Evolution of Combat, this item only required 10 Attack to wield. Now it requires 25 Attack.

**Beer glasses** are obtained by drinking certain beverages (such as beer), from the shelves in the Sorceress's house or from a kitchen shelf (Wooden shelves 2 or higher) of a player-owned house. They can also be made with molten glass using the Crafting skill.

The beer glasses obtained from a player-owned house cannot be brought outside nor can they be used on a Calquat keg filled with a beverage.

A fast location to obtain beer glasses is Taverley pub, which sells 10 beers of asgarnian ale, wizard's mind bomb, and dwarven stout, or the aforementioned Sorceress's house in Al Kharid.

Also, if you find a barrel with a small spout protruding from it with examine text of "The barrel is full of ale" or "Mmm...beer!" you can use a beer glass on the barrel and fill the glass with beer. However, if players do this with the ale barrels in the pub in Gunnarsgrunn, the barbarians will turn protective of their beer and attack the player. Currently, the only barrel F2P players can successfully obtain beer from is located on the docking piers at Musa Point.

Beer glasses can be sold in the Rising Sun Inn in Falador for 2 coins each, though they can be sold on the Grand Exchange for 59 coins.

Beer glasses filled with beer from a player-owned house can be placed in a Cornucopia to heal 200 life points, without the negative bonuses.

The **Black prism** can be obtained during Zogre Flesh Eaters quest. During the quest it can be found in the coffin to the west of the skeleton on the floor. If you **look-at** it, there is a description which suggests that it was involved in the explosion that hit the area, and was blasted into the coffin. Zavistic Rarve identifies it as a tool of necromancy. This artefact has been used to populate Jiggig with Zogres. Later in the Quest, The player discovers that it was Sithik Ints who has used to do so out of his hatred toward Ogres. You can sell it to Zavistic Rarve for 2000 coins or Yanni Salika for 5000 coins. This also looks very similar to the Shadow diamond from the quest Desert Treasure and a cut onyx rotated.

## Trivia

	+ If you try selling a second Black prism to Yanni, he will refuse to buy it again.
	+ If you sold a prism to Yanni, then Zavistic will refuse to buy your drop tricked second one, claiming that "you have already sold me one of these". Therefore you should sell your prism only once, to the highest bidder: Yanni Salika, if you can.

Despite ascendri bolts having a higher damage bonus than ascension bolts, in combat they actually hit no higher. This is because ammunition damage is capped at the level of the bow. Ascendri bolts are level 94 in strength, but the highest-level crossbow in the game, the ascension crossbow, is only level 90 so the bolts deal level 90 damage, or less if using a lower-level crossbow. This may be observed by swapping bolts and reading the damage in the Loadout screen.

He appears to be somewhat obsessed with his bees, and warns players to leave them alone, as they belong to him. He makes a bee related pun when players say goodbye to him, telling them to 'bee' good.

During Troll Romance, he assists the player in obtaining the beeswax to wax the sled with.

## History

He was previously involved in a random event, where he teleported players to a field of beehives and requested help to repair a broken beehive. Players had to assemble the beehive from its four main parts by clicking on them and moving them into their place marked in the centre of the screen. After positioning a piece, they had to select another and repeat the process, until the beehive is completely repaired. After all the pieces had been placed, they had to click the build button at the bottom of the screen to finally assemble the hive.

If the hive was successfully repaired, the player would receive a random event gift and be returned to their original location. If they failed, however, the bees would escape from their hive start attacking the player. The bee keeper would then teleport the player away to a random location.

Before the Random Event Update and more update on 25 February 2009, players could only get this random event whilst picking flax. If players failed the event, rather than being "teleported" by the bee keeper, they would be chased by bees and forced to dive into water. This still teleported them, but it was always to a body of water near Seers' Village. The bee keeper still said that he "Saw you picking flax in the field" even after the update.

The **Black hole** is encountered during the A Soul's Bane quest, in the room of fear. If trying to enter it, at first your character will refuse, saying: "This door's darker than the rest. There's no WAY I'm going in there!"

However, after you have defeated five fear reapers, the black hole will fill with light. This allows players to enter it, and thus teleport to the next room, the room of confusion.

File:Bird book detail.png
The **Bird book** (properly titled ***William Oddity's Guide to the Avian***) is a book that players find as part of the Eagles' Peak quest. It is written by William Oddity, an expert on hunting.

It provides a short commentary on several birds that players can hunt via the Hunter skill, namely the Crimson Swift, the Cerulean Twitch, the Golden Warbler, the Tropical Wagtail and the Copper Longtail.

However, it also gives vague information about the elusive giant eagle, and hints at the existence of the eagle transport system and the location of the secret hidden entrance to the Eagles' Peak Dungeon.

After completing the quest, players can find this book in the bookcase of their player-owned house.

## Transcript

Crimson Swift

The crimson swift is a tropical bird that typically lives in dense jungle areas. Subtlety is not one of this bird's strong points, its striking red plumage ensuring it will be visible wherever it goes, making it a popular first bird for hunters and spotters alike.

Cerulean Twitch

This polar bird, found in the far Northern regions, can survive at impressively low temperatures. Although its long tail affords it great manoeuvrability, it is also the cause of a great deal of interest from collectors.

Golden Warbler

The golden warbler can be easily identified by its hideously annoying song. Although the warbler is prized by hunters for its fine feathers, it is probably caught just as much simply to shut it up.

Tropical Wagtail

This beautiful bird can be found in hot jungle climates where it expertly catches small insects for food. It is perhaps therefore ironic that it is usually caught for its bright plumage, which can be used in turn to make excellent fly fishing lures.

Copper Longtail

The copper longtail is found in temperate wooded regions and is one of the most common birds in the world. Although its appearance is unremarkable it is a graceful and successful bird that continues to fend well for itself.

Giant Eagle

Little is known about the giant eagles. There are reported sightings in many parts of the world, but the nests of these magnificent creatures remain elusive. The only record of such a nest being found is in the folk tale of the bandits of the golden claw. It is said that the bandits leader could talk to and befriend the eagles, and used the eagles' nest at the top of what is now known as the eagles' peak as a hideout. The story goes to hint at a secret entrance to the hideaway existing near the peak of the mountain, but until this day it has not been found.

Bird's egg

Bird's egg
 Weight | 0 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Bird's egg (red) detail.png
**Bird's eggs** are occasionally found in bird's nests, which randomly fall from trees, including player grown ones, while Woodcutting on members only worlds. The chance of getting birds' nests from trees can be increased by wearing a strung rabbit foot. Once you see a bird's nest, be sure to pick it up because it will quickly disappear.

You can obtain any bird's egg from the Evil Tree Distraction and Diversion. Upon claiming your reward, a nest may be found, which could contain an egg.

The final method to obtain nests is through managing Miscellania. Bird nests are returned along with any logs cut. You will receive 1 nest for every 100 maple logs received. Once again there is no guarantee an egg will be found, as it may contain seeds, jewellery or an egg.

These eggs were first discovered shortly before the release of Farming. Many players held on to eggs for years wondering what they would be used for and when it would happen. These eggs come in three colours, (red, green, and blue), identifying with each of the three main gods of RuneScape. Their use finally came about with the release of Summoning.

You can hatch the eggs into a pet bird in an incubator (level 70 summoning, boosts do **not** work), or convert them using level 63 Spirit cobra's special Ophidian Incubation and use them in Summoning pouches to make any of three Trices:

It takes about 2-3 hours for the eggs to hatch.

* Green eggs make the Guthix raptor or Guthatrice egg and Spirit guthatrice
* Red eggs make the Zamorak hawk or Zamatrice egg and Spirit zamatrice
* Blue eggs make the Saradomin owl or Saratrice egg and Spirit saratrice

The Guthatrice, Saratrice, and Zamatrice eggs can also be sold on the Grand Exchange even though the bird's egg itself is untradeable.

Black Knights' Base

Black Knights' Base
 Release date

[view] • [talk]
The **Black Knights' Base** is an area in the far south of Taverley Dungeon. The base has two main areas, and both are swarming with black knights. In the top right of the first area is a kitchen, with a sink and a range. In the far right area of the second compartment is the jail. To gain access to the jail cells, the jailer must be killed; his combat level is 47. Inside the south cell is Velrak the Explorer, who can give the player a dusty key which gives access shortcuts in the dungeon. It's also interesting to note that in the rooms on the side of the main hall there are helmet racks which appear to have helmets on them that look suspiciously like White Knight helmets. Although the base is said to be in Taverley by Solus Dellagar, it is actually underneath the Crafting Guild.

To access the base the player must enter the trapdoor south of Taverley and run past numerous monsters including chaos dwarves and hill giants. Because of this, it is advised that lower levelled players take food. The base plays a part in the Wanted! quest, where the player must interrogate Lord Daquarius about the whereabouts of Solus Delegar. It also is the main location for The Void Stares Back, in which the player has to explore an area next to the base to find the Pest Queen.

During Dishonour among Thieves the player recruits Lord Daquarius for Zamorak's team to steal the Stone of Jas from Sliske. But first the player needs to convince Lord Daquarius by proving the plot against him. After doing so, he agrees to join the player.

## Inhabitants

As well as the Black knights around the base, there are some other characters at the base.

* Velrak the Explorer - A jailed explorer, Velrak can be found in the southern jail cell.
* Lord Daquarius - The leader of the Kinshra can be found in the south western room in the second area.
* Jailer - The level 47 jailer can be found by the jail in the far right of the second area. Players must kill him for a jail key.
* Dwarves - Presumably captured by the black knights, the dwarves can be found in the northern jail cell.
* Captain Gilroy - A captain of the black knights, he accompanies the player during The Void Stares Back quest.
* Black Knight - Gilroy's men

Bert

This article is about the sand man in Yanille. For other instances of Berts, see Bert (disambiguation).

Bert
 Race

[view] • [talk]

**Bert** is a key figure in the Hand in the Sand quest and, after completing the quest, will gather 84 buckets of sand and deliver them to your bank account daily if you speak with him. This increases to 120 following completion of the Ardougne Elite Tasks. Players have to speak to him every day in order to get the sand. It is not automatically delivered.

He can be contacted using the NPC Contact spell in the Lunar spellbook.

## Tip

* On 10 February 2009, the minimum interval between sand collections was reduced to 23 hours and 40 minutes to enable people to collect sand at the same time every day. Prior to this, the time of collection would slowly creep forwards every day because of the 24 hour minimum limit. On 29 September 2014, this changed to once daily after the daily reset at 00:00 (UTC).

## Trivia

* A hidden update, which allows you to right click and select Sand, was added to skip dialogue with Bert.
* Bert's image on the Contact spell interface is that of his old chathead, where he looks younger. However, when talking to him using Contact the new chathead is displayed.
* Bert speaks with a Yorkshire accent.
* Despite the fact Bert mentions a wife during the quest The Hand in the Sand, he appears to be solitary in his cabin.
