Recruitment Drive is the first quest in the Temple Knight storyline. Sir Tiffy Cashien will put you through a series of puzzles and tests to determine if you're worthy of joining the Temple Knights.
This quest is quick, puzzle-heavy, and has completely random rooms—so read each section carefully.
Enable RuneLite Quest Helper, use spacebar to skip dialogue, and use number keys to pick chat options faster.
Time to complete: ~9 minutes. You should finish around the same time unless you fail a puzzle.
None. You must unequip everything and empty your inventory before starting the tests.
Falador teleport: to start the quest
Recommended: Falador teleport
You’ll get teleported to a test area with seven different rooms. You only need to pass five of them, but the Sir Leye combat test is always included. If you mess up any room, you’re kicked back to Falador and have to start over, so take it slow.
Important: before you talk to her, quickly memorize the room or just take a screenshot — it makes this part way easier.
You’ll see 12 statues at first. As soon as the test starts, one of them disappears.
Here’s how to solve it:
There are 4 statues of each color: bronze, silver, and gold.
After one vanishes, one color will only have 3 statues left.
Look at that color and figure out which weapon is missing:
sword
halberd
greataxe
mace
Once you’ve figured it out, touch the statue that matches the missing color and weapon. That completes the room.
Honestly, the easiest method is just taking a screenshot before anything disappears, then comparing.
Here’s the order I use:
Use the metal spade on the Bunsen burner.
Take the hot spade and use it on the stone door.
On the door, apply cupric sulphate first, then the vial of liquid.
Now make the bronze key:
Use the vial of liquid on the tin.
Add gypsum.
Use the tin on the key.
Add cupric ore powder, then tin ore powder.
Heat the tin on the Bunsen burner.
Finish it with a chisel, knife, or bronze wire.
Once that’s done:
Walk through the first portal and exit through the second door.
Pull the spade.
Room complete.
Sir Kuam will send you to fight Sir Leye, who’s level 20. Grab the Steel warhammer, since the other weapons won’t count for the quest. When he’s almost defeated, make sure the final hit comes from either your bare hands or the warhammer—you can pick it up from the table shown in the image above.
Once he’s down, head through the east portal to leave the room.
Hardcore Ironman note: dying here will cost you your status, so take it slow and don’t risk it.

Recruitment Drive is quick, simple, and absolutely worth completing early—especially for the Initiate armour set. The hauberk and cuisse are extremely useful on Slayer tasks where you rely on Protection Prayers or overheads. Their Prayer bonus slows your Prayer drain, helping you save money on Prayer potions and stay on task longer. To find the best prayer bonus gear, check our Best in slot prayer bonus gear guide.
