Draynor Manor: More Than Just a Spooky Mansion

Locked in Draynor Manor? Don’t panic! Those front doors close tight. Your exit lies in the easternmost room. Remember or the ghosts may keep you.
Spades and Spooky Mansions: A Draynor Manor Mystery?
Oddly, Draynor Manor is also where spades spawn. They help with treasure trails and digging. Spades can also be found in:

- Varrock General Store (top floor)
- Rimmington mine
- Lumbridge Swamp (shack)
- Edmond’s garden (East Ardougne)
- Blast Furnace room
Why spades in Draynor Manor? Maybe the ghosts garden? Or they are bad at burying treasure?
Draynor Village Detour: Beyond the Manor Walls
Draynor Village offers more than a spooky manor and fields. Explore key spots:
Leela: The Spy Next Door
Captain Ned: The Rope Master
Captain Ned lives in eastern Draynor Village. He plays a role in Dragon Slayer I and Prince Ali Rescue quests. Need rope? Give him 15 coins or four balls of wool, and he’s quick with it.
Draynor Village Rooftop Agility Course: Run, Jump, and Don’t Fall!
Test your agility! Start at the Rough Wall north of Draynor’s bank and end climbing down by Ned’s house. Avoid Ned’s chimney if possible!
Pig Pen: Oink Oink!
North of Draynor’s marketplace is the pig pen. For all your pig-related needs! Keep away if carrying tasty veggies.

General stores offer more than you think:
- Hammers: Always in stock and dependable.
- Spades: Many general stores sell them for digging up treasures.
- Local Specialties (and Everything Else!): Tradeable items can be sold here. Lumbridge might have random treasures.
Bandos and Hammers: A Strong Connection
Bandos’ Stronghold needs more than brute force; you need tools.
Strength and Hammers: The Dynamic Duo
To enter Bandos’ Stronghold, you require:
- 70 Strength (no boosts allowed!)

- A hammer (or Dragon Warhammer/Elder maul).
Planning a visit to Bandos? Don’t forget your hammer! It’s necessary to access the stronghold and face the goblin general.
