  • Nettle tea: Can be made by cooking nettle-water on a fire or cooking range. Nettle-water can be made by adding nettles to a bowl of water. Nettles can be found in several areas in the game. A good spot to pick them is in Edgeville, where there are six spawns since the nearby range can be used to make the Nettle tea. Pick up a few since there is a chance of failing to make the tea. Use the sink in Edgeville to refill your bowl if this happens. Ensure you equip gloves like leather gloves before attempting to pick Nettles, or you will fail and take damage.

How to Obtain Ecto-token

Ecto-token is the currency used in Port Phasmtys. It can be obtained by worshiping the Ectofuntus. This grants 5 tokens and prayer XP per worship. The items required are: any type of bones, a pot, and a bucket of slime (sold at the charter ship). 

  • First, grind the bones with the Bone Grinder on the 2nd floor of the Ectofuntus by using your bones on it.
