Speak to the Odd Old Man.

1. Make your way to the Odd Old Man's hut just west of the limestone quarry, northeast of Varrock. Once there, talk to the Odd Old Man, who will instruct you to collect several bones and will tell you how to prepare them. Below is the list of the bones which you need to collect.

   Note: The easiest way to reach Varrock is via the Varrock teleport spell. You can collect the bones in any order you choose. The locations and monsters listed below are only a suggestion. Some of the monsters may also be found in other locations and some of the bones may also be dropped by other similar monster.

2. After you have all the bones, head to Draynor and speak to Fortunato. After you speak with him you will be able to purchase 8 jugs of vinegar.
3. Now use a jug of vinegar with a pot. Repeat this 8 times and then add a bone to each pot of vinegar. Now you will have "Bone in Vinegar."
4. Head back to the Odd Old Man. Next to him you will find a pot-boiler. Add a log to the pot-boiler, add the "Bone in Vinegar", and then light it. Do this for all 8 pots of "Bone in Vinegar."
5. Talk to the Odd Old Man to finish the quest.

   Congratulations! Quest Complete!
