The Wise Old Man is mostly for members to enjoy but also has some things free players can enjoy. His house can be found in Draynor Village, opposite the bank.

The Wise Old Man's house is full of suspicious objects - Bookcases with tinderboxes and strange cat statues, books about "Elder Dragons," ways into the Draynor Village bank, a bed with feet beneath it that wobbles when you kick it, and a trimmed set of Saradomin armour. The telescope once pointed to the Draynor bank... but now has its scope on the Wizard's Tower.

This old eccentric man is useful, as he can clear out your bank of useless F2P quest items and tell you what some of them are used for. If you are a member and ask if you can help him, he will offer you various small tasks that can be exchanged for small rewards; covered below. The tasks and reward are random, especially the tasks where he requests you to collect items. To get another task, you must have completed the one you are currently on.

One day, we discover that a man who looks suspiciously similar to the wise old man, had robbed the Draynor Village bank! Suspiciously, the old mans house now has the displays plated in gold, and he acts very odd when you inquire about the robbery. The telescope upstairs which had previously been aimed at the Draynor bank, after the heist is now pointed toward the wizard tower south of Draynor Village. Is the tower full of magic secrets next on the thief's hit list? Only time will tell.

The Wise Old Man is also quite an amiable adventurer, taking part in various quests throughout the history of RuneScape. His most recent involvement, is that of the Swan Song quest. Here he helps you save Piscatoris Fishing Colony, through defeating the Sea Troll King.

To get a mini-quest-like task, ask the Old Man if you can help him. He will give you a random objective that you can complete for him. Note that you must complete your given task before you can obtain another.

There are three different types of task that the Wise Old Man can give you:

• » Letter delivery :: Delivering a note to someone
• » Collecting items for a reason :: You will need to collect items to help the old man in some way
• » Collecting random items :: You need to collect random items for the old man for no real reason

In the letter delivery tasks, the Old Man will give you a note to deliver to another person in RuneScape, and that person will give you a reward for it. The list below shows the letter delivery tasks that I've been given, and the random rewards that I got.

Most of the time the Old Man will ask you to gather some items for him. Sometimes he'll need them for a reason, and these tasks are listed below, the items needed and tips on how to get those items.

A lot of the time the Old Man will ask you to get him random items without giving a reason. These are the most annoying tasks because he usually wants items that need a little more work to get. Here's the item tasks I got (remember that they are all random so there's a lot more than these):

The tasks you get from the Wise Old Man are completely random, and therefore so are the rewards; meaning each task has its own unique reward.

The rewards are small, but some are quite useful. This is a list of known rewards:

• Money: 100-1000gp or more.
• Prayer XP: 200-400xp or more.
• Health XP: 200-400xp or more.
• Slayer XP: 200-400xp or more.
• Seeds: Generally the uncommon seeds.
• Herbs: Unidentified, note form.
• Uncut Gems: Commonly sapphires.
• Runes: Random amount of Runes.
