Lunar Diplomacy: Mining Skill Requirements And Workarounds

can i start lunar diplomacy without 60 mining

Lunar Diplomacy is a quest in RuneScape that involves settling a dispute between the Fremennik and the Moon Clan of Lunar Isle. Players must obtain a Seal of Passage to safely travel to and explore the magical island, interact with NPCs, and engage in combat. While mining skills are required at certain points, such as mining stalagmites for lunar ore, it is unclear if a specific mining level of 60 is necessary to start the quest. Players should refer to quest guides and other in-game information to determine if they can initiate Lunar Diplomacy without a mining level of 60.

Lunar Diplomacy requires a pickaxe to mine a stalagmite for a lunar ore

Lunar Diplomacy is a quest that involves settling a dispute between the Fremennik and the Moon Clan of Lunar Isle. To complete the quest, players need to obtain a Seal of Passage, which allows them to travel and stay on Lunar Isle safely. They must also bring a pickaxe to mine a stalagmite for lunar ore.

Stalagmites are rare rocks that can only be mined by players with a Mining level of 60 during and after the Lunar Diplomacy quest. Players can find the Lunar Isle Mine by heading northeast on the isle and locating the dungeon symbol on the minimap. Once inside the mine, they must use their pickaxe to mine one of the grey stalagmites in the western part of the mine, near the walls.

Mining any stalagmite will yield some lunar ore, but players can only carry one ore at a time. If a player attempts to mine more than one, they will receive a message stating that they already have special ore and do not need any more. The ore will be immediately destroyed if dropped, so duplication is not possible.

The lunar ore must then be smelted into a lunar bar at a furnace, as the Superheat Item spell does not work on it. The nearest furnace is in Rellekka, southwest of the market. The lunar bar can then be crafted into a lunar helm at an anvil, which can be found in the same building as the furnace in Rellekka or on Lunar Isle.

You need a seal of passage to access the Lunar Isle

To access the Lunar Isle, you need a seal of passage. This is a neckwear slot item that is required to be worn or held in your inventory to talk to or trade with anyone on the Lunar Isle. If you do not have the seal of passage, you will be teleported off the isle if you try to talk to any NPC, including when banking.

You can obtain the seal of passage by talking to Brundt the Chieftain in the longhall in Rellekka. Brundt the Chieftain will replace it for free if you lose or destroy it. However, he will not give you a second one if you already have one in your possession.

After completing the elite tier of the Fremennik Diary, players will no longer need a seal of passage to interact with any native Lunar Isle inhabitants. You can also return to Rellekka quickly by destroying the Seal of Passage and speaking to any of the lunar citizens.

A bullseye lantern is needed to light the emerald lantern

The emerald lantern is a light source used during the Lunar Diplomacy quest. It is created by using an emerald lens with a bullseye lantern or a bullseye lantern (unf). The bullseye lantern is a light source used to illuminate dark areas with the highest brightness value of three.

If you are creating an emerald lantern from a bullseye lantern (unf), you will need to add lamp oil to the lantern before lighting it with a tinderbox. Lighting a bullseye lantern with a tinderbox requires 49 Firemaking. To create a bullseye lantern from scratch, you will need 49 Smithing to make the bullseye lantern (unf) and 49 Crafting to make the lantern lens.

Once you have a bullseye lantern, you can add an emerald lens to create an emerald lantern. The emerald lantern will provide a slightly brighter light than a sapphire or conventional bullseye lantern. It is worth noting that you cannot swap the emerald lens with a bullseye lens as you can with a sapphire lantern. If you lose the emerald lens, you can recover it by speaking to the Cabin Boy, who can be found slightly northwest of the Lunar Isle bank.

You need to kill Suqah for a special tiara

Suqah can be found on both the northern and southern parts of the island. The southern Suqah do not attack with magic, making them a good option for players who do not wish to use the "Protect from Magic" prayer. Their damage can be completely blocked with "Protect from Melee". A dwarf multicannon can also be used to kill Suqah, although this will result in a loss of coins due to their lack of valuable drops.

To initiate the Lunar Diplomacy quest, you must talk to Lokar Searunner on the westernmost dock of Rellekka. He will tell you about the Moon Clan. Then, you need to speak to Brundt the Chieftain in the longhall to get a seal of passage. It is important to keep the seal of passage with you at all times while on Lunar Isle, as you will be teleported off the island if you try to talk to any NPC without it.

During the quest, you will need to kill several Suqah to obtain the special tiara, which belongs to Meteora. She lost it to the Suqah, and will exchange the Lunar amulet if the player returns her tiara. The tiara is only dropped after asking Meteora about her headgear.

A lunar bar is made by smelting a lunar ore at a furnace

To make a lunar bar, you must first obtain a lunar ore. Head to the north-east of the isle to find the Lunar Isle Mine, marked with a dungeon symbol on the minimap. Bring any pickaxe with you and enter the mine through a small shack. Mine one of the grey stalagmites in the western part of the mine (next to the walls) to get a lunar ore.

Next, you need to smelt the ore into a lunar bar at a furnace. The Superheat item spell does not work on lunar ore, so you will have to travel to a furnace. The closest furnace is in Rellekka, located southwest of the market. Use the furnace to smelt the ore into a lunar bar.

With the lunar bar in hand, you can now make a lunar helm. Return to the Rellekka furnace building, where there is an anvil in the same building. Alternatively, there is an anvil on the Lunar Isle, which you will need to return to anyway. Use your hammer on the lunar bar and choose option 1 to make the lunar helm.

Now that you have crafted the lunar helm, you can continue your diplomatic mission. Travel back to the Lunar Isle and talk with Pauline Polaris, who lives in the northwest corner of the village. She will ask you to guess her real name. Choose the option "Jane Blud-Hagic-Maid" to proceed.
