Speak to the Warrior north-west of Lumbridge Swamp. ( 1•1•1•2)…
1 What are you camped here for?
1 Who's Zanaris?
1 If it's hidden how are you planning to find it?
2 Looks like you don't know either.
Go north-west to the tree closest to the encampment and click on the tree with the chop option rather than chop down.
Talk to Shamus. ( 1•1)…
1 How does it fit in a shed then?
1
Bank your axe. Bring items to make weapons or bows. Runes and food can be taken to Entrana. It is recommended to bring a teleportation method as well.
- If you already have the required items you can go directly to Port Sarim and use the bank deposit box on the dock.
- Bank all weapons and armour. You're allowed to take jewellery such as the ring of dueling, amulet of glory, combat bracelet, etc...
- If you don't have a teleportation method, purchase a chronicle from Diango and charge it with teleport cards.
Go to the Port Sarim docks, south of the Rusty Anchor Inn.
Talk to a Monk of Entrana and travel to Entrana.
Cross the north-east bridge then go west until you see the Cave monk, go down the ladder. (Note: Do not craft battlestaff or bow before you enter cave. Otherwise you will be knocked out and returned to Port Sarim)

Warning: there are two Greater Demons (Level 92) in the room before the Dramen tree.

Caution: If you go through the magical door, you will be teleported into level 32 Wilderness.

Kill the Dramen Tree Spirit (there is a safespot behind the southern fungus formation).
- Note: Do not use the mushroom by the demons outside of the room as a safespot. Even if you kill the tree spirit, they will respawn again after trying to cut the tree!
Chop the tree and use a knife on the branch obtained to make the dramen staff.
- Note: A dramen branch is required for the Freeing Sir Amik Varze subquest of Recipe for Disaster, and another is useful for the smuggling into Thorvald's trial in The Fremennik Trials, but do not make them into staves yet. Cutting at least three branches is recommended.
Teleport out and go to the tool shed in the centre of Lumbridge Swamp.
Wield a dramen staff and enter the tool shed.
Congratulations, quest complete!
