Map

Miscellania is a small island off the northernmost part of the Fremennik Isles, just west of Etceteria. Completion of The Fremennik Trials is required to access the island, and after completion of Throne of Miscellania inhabitants will consider the player Prince or Princess Regent, and work for them if their popularity is high.

While talking to local inhabitants, players will be always referred to by their Fremennik name.

Getting there

• The ring of Wealth or higher tier luck rings can be used to teleport next to Advisor Ghrim, which is useful for those who do Managing Miscellania, but requires completion of Throne of Miscellania.
• A Miscellania teleport scroll can be used to teleport to the square of Miscellania. They can be bought from the Grand Exchange or obtained from clue scrolls. These scrolls can only be used upon completion of The Fremennik Trials.
• There is a boat run by the Sailor on the second westernmost dock in Rellekka which can be used to travel to Miscellania but requires completion of The Fremennik Trials to use. The enchanted lyre can be used to teleport to Rellekka. The Fremennik Province lodestone (Alt+F while interface is open) is just east of Rellekka. A side entrance to Rellekka is available north-west of the lodestone.
• Fairy ring code CIP will teleport players west of the mine on Miscellania. The code only works on completion of The Fremennik Trials, otherwise the rings treat the code as unrecognised and teleport you just a few spaces from the main ring.

Managing Miscellania

Main article: Managing Miscellania

Managing Miscellania is a repeatable reward from the Throne of Miscellania quest in which the player is the regent of the nation Miscellania. The player is in charge of the subjects on the island by assigning them to collect resources. If a high approval with the citizens is maintained, and a considerable number of coins invested, the subjects will share a portion of their collected resources with the player. Because many of these resources are valuable, this quest reward is considered to be highly profitable. Approval drops 1% every day the kingdom is left unattended but will not drop below 25%, though committing crimes such as theft or crime will decrease approval faster and is the only way to decrease it below 25%. Murder decreases approval by 5%.

Market Stalls

In the courtyard of the Miscellanian castle are market areas which include fish and vegetable stalls where you may practice Thieving. At level 2 Thieving, you may steal cabbages, garlic, onions, raw potatoes, or tomatoes from the vegetable stalls. With level 42 Thieving you can pilfer raw salmon, tuna or lobster.

If you are caught stealing, you cannot buy anything from the stalls for about 48 hours instead of the usual 15 minutes.

Greengrocer store

The Greengrocer of Miscellania sells vegetables for a small price. It can be stolen from with level 2 Thieving.

Fishmonger

The Island Fishmonger sells fish for a price. It can be stolen from with level 42 Thieving.

Flowers

A flower girl in the Miscellanian market sells coloured flowers for 15 coins each. She sells the red/blue/yellow flower combination; no other colours are available. Flowers are used during the Throne of Miscellania quest.

Patch

There is a flax patch, but this is only used in Kingdom management; players cannot grow crops here.
