Elemental Workshop I is a quest where you rediscover a long-lost workshop hidden in Seers’ Village and uncover magical elemental ore. It’s a pretty chill quest, and the big win here is the Elemental Shield, which gives some of the best Magic defence you can get if you are low-level
Difficulty: Easy
Length: Very short
General questing tips
- Turn on RuneLite Quest Helper in your plugin list — it highlights the correct controls and levers, which makes this quest way easier.

Walkthrough for Elemental Workshop I
Required: Knife, needle, thread, leather, hammer and coal.
Recommended: Camelot teleport.
- Teleport to Camelot, then head to Seers’ Village and search the bookcase marked below.
- Read the battered book and pick option 1 to start Elemental Workshop I.
- Use a knife on the battered book, then open the odd wall to the north of the bookcase (shown in the image above).
- Climb down the staircase to enter the workshop.
Restarting the Workshop
North room
- Turn the marked water control (1st water control in image) in the north room.
- Turn the other marked water control (2nd marked control) in the north room.
- Then, pull the lever in the image above.
East and central room
- Left click to repair the bellows (shown above) in the east room
- Search the crate northwest of the central room(shown above) for a needle if you don’t have one.
- Pull the lever next to the bellows(shown above).
- Search the box northwest of the central room for a stone bowl(shown above).
South room
- Use the stone bowl on the lava trough in the south room(shown above) to fill it with lava.
- Use the lava-filled bowl on the furnace(shown above).
Mining Elemental ore
\\\
- Mine one of the elemental rocks in the west room—it’ll turn into an Earth Elemental (level 35) as soon as you try, so be ready. With 40+ Defence, you likely won’t need any food; I didn’t need any with the same stats.
- Defeat the rock elemental that appears, then pick up the elemental ore.
- Use the ore on the furnace in the south room to make an elemental bar
Finishing the Quest
- Use the resulting bar on one of the workbenches in the central room shown below to make an elemental shield to finish the quest. Note: You can make as many Elemental Shields as you want, as long as you return with the battered key, battered book, and 4 coal to smelt with the elemental ore. The Elemental Shield can be sold on the Grand Exchange for around 1,000 GP. It’s not a big money-maker, but the elemental shield itself offers up to +6 magic defence, the highest at lower levels.
- 1 Quest point
- 5,000 Crafting XP
