Managing Miscellania is a repeatable reward/action unlocked with the completion of the quest Throne of Miscellania, and expanded upon completion of Royal Trouble. The histrion, in accuse of Miscellania—and later, Etceteria—assigns the residents of the island to collect specific resources, which can then be received as often as once per mean solar day. The higher the player's popularity with the citizens, and the more than coins invested in the Coffers, the more resources will be acquired.

Because of the valuable resources obtained, Managing Miscellania is considered to be highly assisting. Keeping the citizen blessing ratings and daily salaries maxed out will allow for maximum profit.

Due to resources being deposited into the player'south depository financial institution, ultimate ironmen cannot gain resources past managing the kingdom.

Managing the subjects of your kingdom [edit | edit source]

All Miscellania management is done by talking to Advisor Ghrim, who resides in the throne room of Miscellania Castle.

Through him, players can:

Check the approval rating of the subjects.
Conform the investment of coins in the coffers (the salaries of the subjects).
Distribute the labour of the subjects.
Collect the resource the subjects have gathered.

Players can likewise speak to Counselor Ghrim via the Lunar Magicks spell NPC Contact without having to visit Miscellania, but they tin can only ask about their blessing rating and distribute what the subjects collect. Using the contact spell does not let players to change the amount of coin in the coffers.

Coffers [edit | edit source]

Any investment of coins the actor decides to brand must be deposited into the coffers, which is and then distributed to the workers each twenty-four hours until it runs out. A maximum of 5,000,000 coins may be stored in the coffers initially, however, this maximum increases to 7,500,000 coins after the quest Royal Trouble has been completed. Depositing money into the coffers, or withdrawing what's currently in it, can exist done at the upper left portion of the direction map which can be opened by talking to Advisor Ghrim.

Membership and bans [edit | edit source]

If there is money in the coffers and the role player's membership ends, the workers in Miscellania (and Etceteria, if Royal Trouble is completed) still continue gathering resources and deducting money from the coffers appropriately. Therefore if players program on renewing their membership later, it is recommended to fill up the coffers with equally much as players tin spare in order to take advantage of the days without membership likewise. Conversely, if players plan on non renewing their membership, information technology is strongly recommended to withdraw all money and resources from Miscellania, as information technology volition become impossible to recover anything upon losing membership.

This is also true for when members become temporary bans. The workers will similarly proceed to gather resources while players are banned.

Expenditure of labour [edit | edit source]

The interface of Managing Miscellania.

At that place are 10 subjects (15 after Royal Trouble) bachelor to distribute. The interface to manage this labour tin be brought up by talking to Advisor Ghrim.

At that place are four possible ways to distribute labour:

Herbs (the player can choose betwixt herbs or flax via the radio buttons)
Forest
Mining
Fishing (the player can choose betwixt uncooked or cooked fish via the radio button)

Subsequently Royal Problem, the histrion can distribute labour to two additional fields:

Hardwood (the player can choose between mahogany, teak or both via the radio buttons)
Farm

The bars denote how much labour is existence expended on each resource type. The arrows are used to adjust this labour. All unused labour volition be shown in the Idle bar at the lower left of the map. It is essential to use all the subjects available and to never accept whatever of them Idle at any time.

The game merely records the histories of the coffers and the approval rating. This means that merely before challenge the rewards, players tin can alter the subject distribution, which and so applies to the entire menses. Run across more in the It'due south good to be regent section below.

Suggestions on how to distribute the subjects tin exist plant within the descriptions of each resource in the Resource to exist obtained department below.

Factors of productivity [edit | edit source]

The corporeality of resources collected in a mean solar day is adamant by the citizen's approval rating multiplied by the salary taken out of the coffers, which will ever be 10% of the amount currently in the Coffers, for that detail day.

For example, if the approval rating is 95% and there are 750,000 coins in the Coffers on a particular day, 71,250 coins (0.95 times 75,000) volition exist spent on gathering resources for that day, and iii,750 coins will be wasted.

The drove of resource is calculated day by day based on the approving rating and amount of coins in the Coffers on that 24-hour interval, so keep daily blessing^[one] and daily salaries at 100% for maximum rewards.

Quests completed [edit | edit source]

Completing Royal Trouble non only increases the amount of subjects available and unlocks new resource types, merely as well increases each subject's productivity by 50%. For example, a player with 10 subjects on maple woodcutting with 100% blessing rating will go 595 maple logs and 5 bird'southward nests per twenty-four hour period with only completion of Throne of Miscellania, and 892 maple logs and 8 bird's nests per day with completion of both Throne of Miscellania and Regal Trouble. Therefore, completing both quests is highly recommended even if you only need a unmarried Miscellanian resource.

Blessing rating [edit | edit source]

Advisor Ghrim talking most your blessing ratings in the kingdom.

The approving rating, ranging from 0% (bad) to 100% (good), depicts the feelings of the subjects towards the player. The approval rating automatically falls every 24 hours by 2.v%, or i% after Royal Problem.

The approval rating can be checked by talking to Advisor Ghrim or by utilizing the "Cheque-Approval" option various workers throughout the island have.

Raising approving levels [edit | edit source]

Players tin increase their approval rating by helping the subjects of Miscellania (and likewise Etceteria after Royal Problem) with various skilling tasks (see table below). Almost of the tasks take a level requirement and may require utilize of tools. The approval rating will only increase if the subject field recognises the player's piece of work past proverb "Thanks!". One time the blessing rating reaches 100%, the subjects will forbid the player from performing whatever more tasks.

These tasks practice yield experience, simply the amount is negligible; it is not recommended that players use them to train skills.

Lowering approval levels [edit | edit source]

2 actions decrease the player's approving rating: killing the subjects of and stealing from market stalls on Miscellania. Committing these ii acts on Etceteria exercise not lower the approval rating, even afterward completing Royal Trouble.

Approval level tasks and calculations [edit | edit source]

The blessing organisation is on a indicate organisation from 0 to 127 shown equally a percentage. The table beneath outlines the actions that influence blessing rating.

Action	Requirement	Rating Alter
Rating drops every day automatically past two.5%, or one% after completion of Royal Trouble.	None	-one% or -2.5% per day
Kill one of the civilians. (Skraelings in Etceteria do not decrease rating)	None	-six
Steal from a stall in the market. (The stalls in Etceteria practise non drop rating)	None	-four
Miscellania
Rake the weeds from the herbs and flax plots just outside the palace walls, south of the city gates.	x	+1 per weed
Mine coal on the north shore of Miscellania, just north of the gates. It is possible to detect gems and give these to Miner Magnus.	xxx	+ane per coal +ii per gem
Chop maple trees in the grove in the centre of Miscellania.	45	50% chance to earn +1 per maple log
Fish tuna, lobsters, or swordfish off the docks of Miscellania. The type of fish does not touch the amount of rating gained.	40	l% chance to earn +1 per fish
Etceteria (requires Royal Trouble)
Cut teak copse.	35	+1 per teak log
Cut mahogany copse.	fifty	+1 per mahogany log
Weed a farming patch.	ten	+1 per weed
Compost a farming patch.	10	+1 per compost
Water a farming patch.	10	+1 per water

Salary distribution [edit | edit source]

Salaries are paid out to the subjects every 24 hours, and the payment time is based upon the fourth dimension of your terminal visit.^[2] The amount withdrawn from the coffers each mean solar day is equivalent to ten% of the residual with a maximum withdrawal of 50,000 coins, or 75,000 coins after Royal Problem has been completed. Due to this, if the player wishes to achieve maximum productivity, the coffers must have at least 500,000 coins, or 750,000 coins after Royal Trouble, in the coffers per twenty-four hours. Anything less will result in lessened productivity.

For players that would similar to make their Miscellania direction as passive as possible, employ the following formula to determine how many coins y'all'll need to deposit for a given period of time:

maximum amount withdrawn per 24-hour interval * (10 + number of days between coffers deposits - 1)

If a player that has completed Imperial Trouble wanted to only deposit coins into the coffers in one case per week, they would utilize the formula as follows:

$75,000*(x+7-1)$

$75,000*sixteen$

$1,200,000$

ane,200,000 coins would therefore demand to be deposited in one case per week (done on the same day equally the last deposit).

If the thespian were to deposit the maximum of v,000,000 or 7,500,000 coins, xc maximum withdrawals (91 days) volition be able to be made.

Cost of materials [edit | edit source]

Gathering each item costs a specific amount. The cost your kingdom spends per particular are as follows (assuming both quests are completed):

Annotation: The production cost is a fairly useless effigy in itself as it ignores the potential turn a profit that can be made selling the items for the electric current market value. To see net profits use the calculator instead.

Discipline	Resource	Toll in Gp (each)
Mining	Coal	91.6
Herbs	Flax	40
Herbs	Herbs^{[T 1]}	826.4
Fishing^{[T ii]}	Tuna	46
Fishing^{[T ii]}	Swordfish	335
Wood	Maple	56.1
Hardwood	Teak	146.1
	Mahogany	368.0
	Both	257.05

Resources to be obtained [edit | edit source]

At that place are many unlike resources that a player can assign their subjects to. Players can put a maximum of x workers in one category as indicated with the vertical confined and adapted past using the arrows in the management interface, which tin exist opened by talking to Advisor Ghrim.

The resources gathered may either proceeds or lose profits depending on current GE rates and how a particular player plays RuneScape. Ironmen volition always profit, and those with Ironmen accounts should utilise their own discretion to determine which resource will be most valuable to them. Do have into account the variations in profit while comparing the different categories and the possibility of inconsistent extra turn a profit from bonus items, such as gems from mining, birds nests from woodcutting, or caskets from fishing. Y'all may besides want to cistron in the ease of selling the rewards every bit some resources produce many different items. The table in the It's practiced to be regent section beneath shows all the possible daily rewards and their expected GE values.

Harvesting [edit | edit source]

Herb farming brings in inconsistent but potentially semi-big profit. Players will gain various grimy herbs with the exclusion of Guam, Marrentill, Toadflax, Snapdragon and Torstol. The herbs collected do potentially include the very assisting ranarr weed that'due south used to make prayer potions.

Flax farming brings in very low profit since flax are usually very low in value. Even so, spinning it into bow strings would vastly increase the value of this selection, making it a viable pick.

Players can choose between one or the other with the radio buttons.

It's possible to receive herb seeds, ranging from guam to torstol, equally bonus items when choosing this resource, which could greatly increment the profits if valuable seeds are received.

Players, particularly ironmen, may choose this option to train Herblore or Fletching and utilise the potions and bows made from the resources.

Fishing [edit | edit source]

Fishing, of which many tuna and some swordfish will be the only output (at a ratio of 10:3), bring in consequent profit. Players can choose to have these fish cooked, however, be aware that the price of cooked fish fluctuates.

Information technology's possible to receive caskets, gems (sapphire through diamond), green Fremennik gloves, dark-green Fremennik boots, molar half of a key, loop one-half of a cardinal, and/or piece of cake clue scrolls as bonus items when choosing this resources, which can greatly increase the profits made.

Players, specially ironmen, may choose this selection to train Cooking without the need to spend time Line-fishing and to keep the gains as their ain personal healing food.

Mining [edit | edit source]

Mining, of which coal will be the but output, brings in consistent profit.

It's possible to receive gems (sapphire through diamond) as bonus items when choosing this resource.

Players, particularly ironmen, may also choose this option as a skilful alternative to purchasing or personally mining coal to railroad train Smithing.

Woodcutting [edit | edit source]

Woodcutting, of which maple will be the merely output, is not recommended for the logs themselves as maple logs are typically very low in value. However, due to the charge per unit of receiving bird nests, it is possible to brand substantial profits.

It's mutual to receive the bird nest bonus in quantities of 1 nest per 100 logs cut (if you accept 100% working on Maple trees, y'all volition get 892 logs in one day -> a possibility of viii nests.) The profits from these bird nests varies. Seeds can be nearly worthless, just it'south possible to obtain very profitable tree seeds similar maple seeds, yew seeds, and/or magic seeds. Rings can have balmy value, and like shooting fish in a barrel clue scrolls have rewards ranging from values of a few hundred to over a million gilt. Bird nests themselves can be crushed to obtain crushed nests which players require for Saradomin brews, and so a steady turn a profit is obtained from these even when the items obtained from them are not valuable.

Players, particularly ironmen, may also choose this option to obtain logs for training Firemaking or Fletching bows without spending the time Woodcutting.

Hardwood woodcutting [edit | edit source]

Hardwood woodcutting, with the options of receiving mahogany, teak or both, provide consistent profits. It is recommended to exclusively receive whichever of the ii is currently worth more than, especially if the other is substantially lower in value. It'southward likewise possible to make additional profits past converting the logs received into planks.

It's possible to receive bird nests as a bonus, only at a severely lower rate than maple woodcutting (ane nest for every 350 mahogany logs cut)

Players, particularly ironmen, may also cull this option to obtain logs for preparation Firemaking or Construction without spending the time Woodcutting.

Farming [edit | edit source]

Farming, of which seeds volition be the just output, has the potential to either exist a total waste of golden or bring in heaps of gold on a lucky mean solar day. It is a not a recommended option due to the low prices of many of the seeds that are commonly received, although it is possible (simply very rare) to get seeds similar ranarr (two on average per day) and torstol (less than ane every 4 days). Therefore, players who need specific types of seeds are better off choosing a assisting option and using the money to purchase seeds. This option should only be called if the player needs a diverse drove of seeds.

The bonus items for this resources include tree seeds and fruit tree seeds, including dragonfruit tree seeds and redwood tree seeds, and has also been updated to yield snape grass seeds and potato cactus seeds.

Farming could exist used by Ironmen accounts to gather hop seeds and a multifariousness of other low-level seeds, as opposed to buying from Olivia or stealing from chief farmers.

It'due south good to be regent [edit | edit source]

An case of a advantage user interface.

Players tin can collect their obtained resources past talking to Advisor Ghrim.

Resource will be directly deposited into the player'due south bank, bold there's sufficient room to do then, within the last tab the histrion viewed. If players receive seeds that are present in the seed vault, they volition automatically be transferred to the vault rather than the thespian'southward bank.

Peculiarities of resource drove [edit | edit source]

The amount of resources available to collect is measured in days since they were last collected multiplied by how the workers are designated at the time of drove. This means that the quantity and type of resources gathered is non factored until actually collecting them, regardless of any other factors.

For example, if ane were to set woodcutting to the maximum and not come dorsum to the isle for ten days, they would receive 8920 maple logs and 89 bird nests (assuming popularity/salaries were maxed each day). If, upon returning after those x days, one were to alter the labour focus from woodcutting to mining earlier collecting their resources, they will instead receive 5460 coal and diverse gems instead of the expected maple logs and bird nests. This can be utilised to suddenly alter the blazon of resource nerveless correct before a drove despite what was set previously.

There also seems to be a maximum limit to the time i tin can go without collecting resources. It appears this limit is reached at around the 8-12+ calendar month point. This is accompanied by the statement "The storerooms are full, your Highness. You should talk to Advisor Ghrim to collect what we've gathered for you.", although it does not appear if you accept an blessing rating of 100%.

Bonus resources [edit | edit source]

Collecting can be done at any fourth dimension, but a player will gain more bonus resources past collecting less often. This is because, for case, one bird nest is received for every 100 logs rounded downward.

If a actor (who's completed Majestic Trouble and achieved maximum popularity and salaries each day) were to collect the maximum amount of woodcutting resources once per day, they would receive 892 maple logs and 8 birds nests, which would amount to 6244 maple logs and 56 bird nests per week. If they were to collect once a week (also assuming maximum popularity and salaries were achieved each solar day) they would receive 6244 maple logs and 62 birds nests.

In that location is a misconception that putting nine workers on maples produce the same number of nests every bit if y'all apply all ten. This is only true if y'all collect every day, where both options will provide eight nests. If y'all choose to collect once a calendar week, ten workers will give you 62 nests while 9 but offer 56.

The table below summarizes the most optimal collection wheel (within 25 days) based on how many workers you place on maples, aslope how much progress is being wasted toward the side by side nest. Note that for 1-8 workers, 37 days yields 0.iv% wasted progress per twenty-four hours; for 9 workers, 36 days yields 0.viii% wasted progress; and for 10 workers, 25 days yields 0 wasted progress.

Optimal collection cycles in days (% progress wasted)
Workers	No waste	Almost optimal	2nd nigh optimal	3rd near optimal
1	250 days	9 days (ii.eight% wasted)	18 days (five.half-dozen% wasted)	viii days (13.6% wasted)
ii	125 days	23 days (3.2% wasted)	9 days (5.6% wasted)	xviii days (eleven.ii% wasted)
3	250 days	3 days (2.8% wasted)	half dozen days (5.six% wasted)	9 days (8.4% wasted)
4	125 days	23 days (vi.4% wasted)	16 days (8.eight% wasted)	9 days (11.ii% wasted)
5	50 days	24 days (4.0% wasted)	11 days (6.0% wasted)	22 days (12.0% wasted)
6	125 days	20 days (4.0% wasted)	three days (5.6% wasted)	23 days (nine.6% wasted)
seven	250 days	25 days (10% wasted)	21 days (12.four% wasted)	17 days (fourteen.8% wasted)
eight	125 days	xv days (iv.0% wasted)	8 days (viii.eight% wasted)	23 days (12.viii% wasted)
9	250 days	1 twenty-four hour period (two.8% wasted)	2 days (5.6% wasted)	3 days (eight.4% wasted)
10	25 days	12 days (iv.0% wasted)	24 days (8.0% wasted)	11 days (12.0% wasted)

This derives from the fact that 89.2 = 2 * 223 / 5, which is the daily gain per worker. Since 223 and 100 are coprime, the minimum number of days needed to produce no wasted progress is $days={\frac {250}{\gcd(workers,250)}}$ , with an upper bound of 250 days.

Daily rewards [edit | edit source]

The table below indicates the maximum daily reward for each resource. Information technology assumes that both quests have been completed, that the resources has the maximum of ten workers expended on it, and that an blessing rating of 100% and maximum daily bacon of 75,000 coins have been achieved.

23 May 2013 (update \| poll)	The coin in your Miscellania coffers is at present protected by your Depository financial institution Pin.
22 February 2013 (update)	This content was included when the Old School RuneScape servers officially launched.

Trivia [edit | edit source]

The expressions on the chatheads of Miscellanian citizens will vary depending on your approving rating. If yous take a very low blessing rating, they will await annoyed with yous, but as your approving rating rises, they will change to a friendlier expression.
It is possible to obtain a Big swordfish while angling for Fisherman Frodi which yields the message "Sorry Frodi, simply I'one thousand keeping this 1." when caught.
The option to harvest flax volition surely be perplexing to newer players of RuneScape because it's nearly worthless and volition always outcome in a major loss for those whom choose to collect information technology as a resources. Withal, when Miscellenia was introduced and even until well after Royal Trouble was released (which was on 22 May 2006), the Grand Exchange did not be (which was released on 26 November 2007) and players would either need to barter with each other or put the work in themselves to accumulate resources in the game. During this time in RuneScape ii, there was a widely common understanding that one,000 flax would toll and sell for around 100,000 gold. If the player were to make this aforementioned corporeality of flax into bowstrings and then sell those instead, the value would increment to around 150,000 to 175,000.

Bugs [edit | edit source]

If a player teleports while on the "depositing to your bank" part of talking to Advisor Ghrim, after teleporting, the "subject distribution" interface will appear, and players are able to change distribution from their teleport point.
