1: Getting Started
Items Required: None
Items Suggested: None

Speak to Ellamaria, the Queen of Varrock, and she will give you a task to complete. The rather snobby queen will give you a list of seeds to obtain after some sarcastic banter between you and her. She will also advise you to go to the Wise Old Man in Draynor to learn about the power of persuasion to help you get these seeds and items.

2: The Wise Old Man
Items Required: Ring of Charos
Items Suggested: None

Make your way to Draynor and make a short pit stop at your bank to withdraw the Ring of Charos you received at the end of the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest. (If you have lost your ring, you can get another one from pickpocketing Dr. Fenkenstrain in his castle.) Speak with the Wise Old Man. He is in the large building just North of the bank. He will give you a bit of history on the diplomat, and then proceed to quiz you.

1. Two goblins are fighting over the colour of their armour. What do you do?
   Choose "Show them a range of colours so they can come to a compromise."
2. A drunken dwarf offers you a kebab. What do you do?
   Choose "Take his generous gift even though you have no need for it."
3. Are you enjoying your experience of Farming?
   Choose "It is absolutely, unquestionably the most interesting thing I have ever done."
4. A dwarf asks you to put on a silly golden helmet so that you can be fired from a cannon into a wall. What do you do?
   Choose "Put on the silly helmet and jump into the cannon."
5. You meet Pkmaster0036 in the wilderness who asks who is the greatest player killer in the world. How do you answer?
   Choose "You of course Pkmaster0036, no one could ever challenge your greatness!"
6. Queen Ellamaria orders you to go on a foolish quest without any offer of reward. What do you say?
   Choose "I will do whatever you ask - I just love the monarchy!"
7. A Draynor bank guard asks you if you have seen any suspicious characters lately, because the bank has been robbed. What do you say?
   Choose "If I do I will let you know."

Answering those questions will allow you to get the hidden powers within your Ring of Charos activated. Now off to get those seeds!

Note: You can move on to the next person on the list while you are waiting for your plants to grow, though this will require additional teleport runes/tabs. Be sure to note down the time you planted the crops so they do not die. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DESTROY THE SEEDS YOU ACQUIRE.

He will tell you of the diseased grapevines. Offer to help in exchange for the Burthorpe vines, using all the charm options along the way. Try using your plant cure and you will find it has no effect. Speak to Bernald again and he will tell you of someone who might have a stronger cure.

Run south past the wheat mill and then east across the bridge to the tree patch. Speak with Alain the druid gardener, this time without the charm options (they don't work). Ask about the strong plant cure. He will tell you to grind a rune essence up and use it on a regular plant cure. Break up the rune stone first by using it on an anvil, then grind it with the pestle and mortar. Use it with the plant cure and then go cure the vines. You will now get the Burthorpe Vine seeds.

He will then allow you to take seeds from all his rosebushes. Grab one from each type of rose. Alternatively, you can right-click on the ring and choose the "destroy" option. Afterward you will have to go pick-pocket Dr. Fenkenstrain again to get it back.

8: Regaining the Ring of Charos

10: Heading Back To Varrock
Items Required: 2 Compost or Supercompost, Rake, Gardening trowel, Spade, Seed dibber
Items Suggested: Varrock Teleport runes/Tabs

Plant all your seeds in their corresponding spots. You will need to use compost in the stone pots. The rest of the plots require no compost or water.

Do not take too long in the statue stealing process. If your time is excessive the guards will find you and take the statue back leaving you to start all over again.

Once ALL of the plants are finished growing, speak to snotty Ellamaria. Retrieve her husband by using the charm options to get him to come to his garden. A cutscene of the queen and king will follow.
