Introduction

Dorgesh-Kaan is a large goblin city available to players who have completed the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest. It offers thieving and glassmaking amenities as well as a high level agility dungeon and a new slayer area.

Getting to Dorgesh-Kaan

The most common way to reach Dorgesh-Kaan is by walking from Lumbridge Castle cellar through to the Dorgeshuun Mine. Turn south near Mistag and continue south past Nardok's weapon shop to a gate. Follow the hallway until you reach a large open area.

• The market is also where you can find Gourmets, Reldak, Turgok, Tindar, Gundik, Zenkog, Markog and Miltog

Thieving

Dorgesh-Kaan has a lot to offer the developing thief. Pickpocketing, a thievable machine, and *twenty-two* chests can occupy any thief from level 36 to 78.

Pickpocketing:		Level 36 thieves can pickpocket Cave goblins scattered throughout the city. Out in the north half of the main floor are Cave goblin NPCs, as well as level 24 and 26 Cave goblin guards who will attack thieves. The loot includes weird goblin food that heals 2hp, so it's easy to keep going.
Lockpicking:		In general, the rooms with green bedspreads have Thieving level 52 chests ("a stone chest"), and the rooms with pink bedspreads have Thieving level 78 chests ("a metal bound stone chest") with better rewards and xp. A lockpick is required to thieve the chests. Loot is listed in Tip.It's Thieving skill guide.
Wire Machine:		The wiremaking machine in the crafting area (described below) can be thieved at level 44. The loot is always a goblin wire, which can be used by level 87 crafters to make light orbs.

Crafting

A crafting area is located south of the grand mall - it is reached by going up the stairs, heading south and immediately going down the stairs again. This area offers water and a range on one side, and a furnace and sand pit on the other side (south of Bartak). Unfortunately, the furnace is only usable for making jewellery and glass (no metal smelting allowed, not even gold or silver). Ironically, the no-metal furnace has an anvil located right next to it.

The good news, however, is that Dorgesh-kaan provides an alternative for seaweed/soda ash used in glassmaking. Swamp weed is dropped by the goblin slayer cave creatures, and can be toasted on the range to make soda ash. The nearby sand pit and furnace quickly complete the glassmaking cycle. A wiremaking machine across the hallway regularly extrudes cave goblin wire, which can be thieved (level 44, 22 xp) and used to craft light orbs. Light orbs can only be made by level 87 crafters, but completed orbs (with cave goblin wire installed) can be traded. At level 52 firemaking, players can use completed light orbs to repair random broken lamps around the city for 1k firemaking xp each. However, searching these out can be frustrating, so picklocking chests along the way is recommended.

Agility and Slayer

The last significant section of Dorgesh-Kaan is reached by taking the stairs south of the crafting area.

The highest level agility course in RuneScape is suspended high above the slayer area. A light source and level 80 agility are required, and a mithril grapple and crossbow are needed for most of the course. The grapple routes also require 70 strength and 70 ranged. Although agility experience can be earned just from the obstacles, it's best to agree to bring parts to Turgall for the goblin generator in order to obtain bonus xp. See Tip.It's agility skill guide for more information and a map.

To reach the Dorgegh-Kaan South Dungeon (slayer area), descend the cliffside ladder to the depths below. A light source is required, and antipoison is recommended. The giant cave bug (level 96) is found here, as well as the unique molanisk (level 51), which must be lured using a slayer bell.

Fairy Ring code AJQ takes you to the middle of the south dungeon, asking you first if you want to go without a light. The shortcut to the Kalphite Hive is from the south-west edge of the slayer level.

Shops

The following shops can be found in the Dorgesh-Kaan Marketplace:

Additionally, "Gourmets" wander the marketplace. They are constantly in search of any "surface food" that players can make using the Cooking skill. They want players to cook food and sell it to them, but the money (usually less than 300 gp) is just not worth the time. Additionally, a player must receive permission from a specific (and varying) council member to sell food. Talk to the general store owner, Lurgon (recognisable by his top hat) to find out who you must see, then use the map key to find the assigned person and get permission.
