If you’re looking to earn 12,000 Smithing experience and 1 Quest Point, the Knight Sword quest in Old School RuneScape is a fantastic choice. This is a beginner-friendly quest with minimal requirements and a straightforward storyline. Below is a complete guide to help you complete it efficiently.

Requirements

Quest Requirements

• None

Skill Requirements

• Mining: Level 10

Combat Recommendation

• Around level 50, combat is recommended for low-level players, as you’ll encounter some monsters during the quest.

Items Needed

For crafting the blue R sword, gather the following:

• Red berry pie

• Any pickaxe

• Iron bars: 2 if using Thurgo’s sword-making, or 4 if making your own Blue R sword

• Teleportation items:

  • 1 Bar teleport

  • 2 Falador teleports

  • 2 Remington teleports (or Pest Control teleports/fairy ring code AIQ)

• Optional: Stamina and energy potions for running, food for combat

Ironman tip: If you don’t meet the level to make iron bars, you can mine them yourself. A spawn exists west of the Graveyard of Shadows in the Wilderness.

Free-to-play tip: Players without Remington teleports will need to run more. Consider bringing one extra Falador teleport.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start the Quest

• Go to the central courtyard of the White Knights’ Castle in Falador.

• Speak to the Squire and ask about his life as a Squire.

• He will mention that Surviving’s sword is missing.

• Offer to make a replacement, then ask about the dwarves who can craft it.

• Select “Yes” to officially start the quest.

2. Gather Information

• Teleport to Varrock and run north into the castle’s library.

• Talk to RDO and ask about the Incand dwarves. He will provide some information.

• Next, teleport to Remington using:

  • Fairy ring (AIQ)

  • Pest Control teleport

  • Your house in Remington

  • F2P: Falador teleport and run from there

3. Meet Thurgo

• Run to the anvil sign just north of Mudskipper Point.

• Talk to Thurgo:

  • Ask if he is an Incand dwarf

  • Give him a red berry pie

  • Ask if he can make a special sword

• He will agree but mention he needs a picture of the sword first.

4. Retrieve Blue R Ore

• Head slightly northeast of Thurgo into the dungeon.

• Follow the path until you find ice warriors and ice giants around the perimeter.

• Mine 1 or 2 blue R ores, depending on whether you want to make your own Blue R sword.

5. Get the Sword Portrait

• Teleport to Falador and talk to the Squire again.

• He will tell you the portrait is in Surviving’s cupboard:

  • Run east through three doors, climb a ladder, then a staircase

  • Enter the room directly south and search the cupboard (ensure Surviving is not present) to get the portrait

6. Craft the Blue R Sword

• Return to Thurgo with the portrait.

• Ask him to make the replacement sword:

  • He will take 2 iron bars and a blue R ore and give you a Blue R sword

• Optional: If you want to make your own sword:

  • Drop the sword Thurgo gives you

  • Ask him again to craft a sword, providing another 2 iron bars and blue R ore

  • Pick up your crafted sword

7. Complete the Quest

• Teleport back to Falador and return to the Squire.

• Speak to him to complete the quest.

Rewards

• 12,000 Smithing XP (enough to reach level 29 Smithing from level 1)

• 1 Quest Point

Tips and Tricks

• Bring stamina and energy potions for easier running.

• Keep food handy if you’re under level 50 combat.

• Free-to-play players should plan for extra running if they lack teleport access.

• Making your own sword is slightly more costly but gives you full control over your Blue R sword.

This quick quest can be completed in under 30 minutes for experienced players and is an excellent way to boost your early Smithing experience while earning your first Quest Point. OSRS gold required for the mission can be obtained through RSorder!
