What You'll Learn
The quest starts at The Rusty Anchor in Port Sarim
To create orange dye for the armour, players will need two onions, three redberries, and ten coins. Onions can be found in a field behind Farmer Fred's house, on the path from Draynor Village to Lumbridge, or in a patch south of Falador, outside Melzar's Maze. Redberries can be purchased from Wydin's Food Store in Port Sarim or picked west of the small mine southeast of Varrock. Once players have obtained the necessary items, they must visit Aggie in Draynor Village to create the orange dye.
After dyeing the goblin armour orange, players must return to the Goblin Village and speak with one of the goblin generals. The generals will take the orange armour but will not be satisfied with the colour. They will then request dark blue-coloured armour. To create blue dye, players will need to obtain woad leaves and coins. Woad leaves can be purchased from Wyson the Gardener in Falador Park. With the blue dye, players must once again return to the Goblin Village and speak with the generals.
The goblin generals will take the blue armour but will still be unsatisfied. They will then request light blue armour. Players must repeat the dyeing process and return to the Goblin Village with the light blue armour. Finally, the goblin generals will decide that the original colour, brown, is best after all. The quest will be completed once the goblin generals approve of the brown goblin mail.

Players must help Generals Bentnoze and Wartface
To create the light blue dye, the player must obtain woad leaves from Wyson the Gardener in Falador Park. Wyson will offer to sell the leaves, and the player should choose to pay the highest price of 20 coins to receive two woad leaves. The player must then return to Aggie in Draynor Village to create the light blue dye. Once the light blue goblin mail is crafted, the player can return to the Goblin Village and give it to the generals. However, the generals will once again be displeased with the colour.
Finally, the player must obtain the plain brown goblin mail, which can be found in crates in the Goblin Village. When the generals see Grubfoot trying on the original brown colour, they will decide that it is the best choice after all. With the goblin generals satisfied, the quest will be successfully completed.

The goblins want a new colour for their armour
The first colour the goblins wish to try is orange. Players must obtain three suits of goblin mail, which can be found in crates in the Goblin Village, and then create orange dye by combining red dye and yellow dye. The red dye can be made using three redberries and five coins, while the yellow dye can be made using two onions and five coins. Alternatively, players can purchase the red and yellow dyes directly from Aggie the Witch in Draynor Village for 5 gp each. Once the orange dye is created, players must use it on one of the goblin mails and return to the Goblin Village to speak to one of the goblin generals.
However, the orange armour is not to the goblins' taste, and they ask to see dark blue armour instead. Players must once again create the dye, this time using woad leaves obtained from Wyson the Gardener in Falador Park. With the blue dye in hand, players return to Aggie, who creates the blue dye for them for a small fee. The blue armour is presented to the goblins, but once again, it is not what they are looking for.
Finally, the goblins request brown armour, the original colour. Players must find plain brown goblin mail, which can be found in crates in the Goblin Village. When the brown armour is presented to the goblins, they are finally satisfied, and the quest is completed.

Quest completion rewards 5 Quest Points
Goblin Diplomacy is a quest in RuneScape that involves helping Generals Bentnoze and Wartface in Goblin Village decide on a colour for their goblins' armour. The quest starts in The Rusty Anchor, a pub in Port Sarim, where the player talks to the bartender who tells them about goblins fighting over the colour of their armour. The player then heads to Goblin Village, located north of Falador and Doric's hut, to meet with the generals.
The goblins are on the brink of civil war, debating whether the armour colour should be red or green. The player suggests a different colour, and the generals agree to consider orange armour. The player then needs to create orange dye by combining red dye (made from 3 redberries and 5 coins) with yellow dye (made from 2 onions and 5 coins). Aggie the witch in Draynor Village can assist with creating these dyes.
Once the orange dye is obtained, the player dyes one goblin mail orange and presents it to the generals. However, they are not satisfied and request blue armour instead. The player then needs to obtain blue dye, which can be created using 2 woad leaves and 5 coins with the help of Aggie. After dyeing another goblin mail blue, the player returns to the generals, only to have their suggestion rejected once again.
Finally, the player gives in to the generals' request for plain brown goblin mail, which can be found in crates in Goblin Village. Grubfoot tries on the brown armour, and the generals decide to stick with their original colour, ending the dispute.
Upon completion of the quest, the player is rewarded with 5 Quest Points, which are the third most possible for a quest of this type. This quest is considered easy compared to other quests that offer the same reward.
