Fairy Rings for Pures in OSRS: Yay or Nay? Let’s Teleport to the Truth!
So, you play a pure account in Old School RuneScape? You dodge defense levels like they are bad dates. However, a question arises. “Can my pure character use fairy rings?” A common inquiry and quite a big one too.
Buckle up because we are diving into fairy rings. Can your pure use this travel system? The answer is yes, but it’s not all fun and games.
Pures and Fairy Rings: A Love Story (or at least a functional relationship)
Let’s get straight to it. Yes, pures can access fairy rings in OSRS. This is not restricted by a Defense level requirement. The fairy ring system requires quest completion, not skills. This suits pures who want to save coins on teleport runes.
Many players with pure builds often evolve into main accounts. They find that fairy rings are too valuable to ignore. Pures realize they need more than just combat skills. Completing quests allows access to fairy rings unearthed new possibilities.
The Quest for Fairy Ring Access: Fairytale II – Cure a Queen
The key to the fairy ring network? The quest Fairytale II – Cure a Queen. Remember this name. It is crucial to your travels across RuneScape.
This quest is not just a stroll through the park. It involves dodgy characters, sick royalty, and light gardening. But the reward is worth it. Imagine how much time you’ll save avoiding potential PKers.
Unlocking the Fairy Ring Network: A Step-by-Step Guide
Let’s break down how to enable fairy rings for your pure. Follow these steps to avoid wandering aimlessly around Zanaris.
- Start Fairytale II – Cure a Queen Quest: Head to Zanaris and talk to the Fairy Queen.
- Get Permission from the Fairy Godfather: Visit the Fairy Queen’s throne room. Find the Fairy Godfather and ask about the Queen.
- Charm the Godfather (Figuratively): Answer his questions and agree to help him solve the issue. Be nice; he controls the access to the rings.
- Speak to the Coordinator: Find the Co-ordinator. He explains how the fairy rings function.
- Find Fairy Fixit: Go southwest to the fountains. Meet Fairy Fixit near a fairy ring. He helps maintain the rings.
- Equip Your Staff and Teleport: You must equip a Dramen staff or a Lunar staff. With the staff, right-click a fairy ring, choose your destination code, and teleport.
- The Lumbridge & Draynor Diary Perk: Complete the Lumbridge & Draynor Diary to use fairy rings without a staff.
Stat Requirements: More Chill Than You Think
Are you worried about needing high levels in every skill? Relax. The requirements for Fairytale II are not harsh.
- Herblore: You need nothing in Herblore. This leaves you free to concentrate on combat skills.
- Farming: There is a suggested level of 30 Farming. It helps against a level 111 boss in Fairytale I. However, this is not mandatory. Pure players can manage with lower levels, though it may take an extra effort.
Quickest Routes to Fairy Rings: Because Time is XP
After unlocking the fairy rings, speed becomes key. Here are some quick ways to find those portals:
- Quest Point Cape Teleport: If you have a Quest Point cape, its teleport takes you to the Legends’ Guild. From there, it’s short walk to any fairy ring.
- Salve Graveyard Teleport: Casting Salve Graveyard Teleport puts you near the fairy ring with code CKS.
- Slayer Ring Teleport: Use a Slayer ring to teleport to the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon near the fairy ring with code AJR.
Fairy Ring Folklore: Enter at Your Own Risk (Not Really)
Let’s inject some folklore amusement here. In real life, fairy rings carry a ton of superstition. Legends say entering one leads to disaster. There are common themes:
- Misfortune: Bad luck follows you.
- Invisibility: You cannot interact with anything.
- Trapped in the Ring: Unable to leave a magical circle.
- Whisked to the Fairy Realm: A fun vacation until you realize you cannot log out.
- Forced Dancing: Perpetual dancing sounds fun, but it’s not.
- Curses, Giant Toads, Eternal Traps: Fairies seem unfriendly.
However, the consequences in OSRS are much milder. You won’t be eaten, and dancing is only for parties. Still, it’s a fun nod to real-world mythology about these circles.
Fairy Ring Codes: Your Teleportation Cheat Sheet
You need codes for fairy rings. These are magical zip codes guiding you to locations. Here are some useful ones:
- ALR: The Abyssal Area – Best for Abyssal Sire or exploring.
- CKS: Just West of Canifis – Great for Slayer tasks or Canifis banking.
- C-I-S: Zanaris to Al-Kharid Bank – Quick travel from Zanaris to Al-Kharid bank.
- AKQ: Piscatoris – Useful for fishing quests.
There are many codes to explore. The fairy ring system opens the vast world of OSRS.
Building Your Own Fairy Ring: The Ultimate Flex
You can build a fairy ring in your Player-Owned House! This offers quick access through the network.
However, this luxury is expensive and difficult:
- 95 Construction: That’s right, 95 Construction. Prepare for serious craftsmanship.
- 83 Farming: Additionally, you need 83 Farming.
- You’ll also need 83 Farming levels!
Boosts like spicy stews can help reach required levels. Building this ring grants substantial XP for Construction and Farming. Creating a fairy ring in your home is an endgame dream, showcasing dedication and wealth.
There you have it! Fairy rings and pures work together. Complete the quest, embrace your Dramen staff (or ditch it with Lumbridge Diary), and enjoy teleporting your pure across Gielinor. Just avoid stepping into real-world fairy rings, unless you want an unusual adventure. Happy teleporting!
