Stankers is a dwarf who runs the coal trucks. Players may place their coal into the trucks and collect them later at the coal truck depot. The closest transport to him is fairy ring ALS.

Stankers also currently runs a pickaxe shop that sells bronze pickaxes and gives out free poison chalices. He holds 30 free samples of these chalices. In the Seers' Village task La Morte D'Arthur, you have to get a poison chalice from him to give to King Arthur.

Players who have completed all of the easy and medium Seers' Village Tasks can speak to Stankers to claim the Seer's headband 2. He also returns the headband if it is lost.
