Captain Barnaby
Captain Barnaby is a non-player character (NPC) found in Old School RuneScape. He plays a crucial role in the quest line associated with the ship to Karamja and is integral to players looking to access this tropical island.
Captain Barnaby can be located at the docks in Varrock, specifically at the eastern port area, where he waits aboard the ship called the Seagull. His primary task is to assist players in traveling between Varrock and Karamja.
To travel to Karamja, players must pay a fee of 30 coins, which Captain Barnaby collects before allowing passage on his ship. This fee is applicable only for players making their initial journey; subsequent trips to Karamja are free of charge, provided players remain in good standing with Barnaby.
In addition to ferrying players, Captain Barnaby is characterized by his distinctive attire, which includes a captain’s hat and a typical sailor’s outfit, embodying the nautical theme he represents. He has a friendly demeanor and engages players with brief dialogue.
Captain Barnaby’s quest-related significance peaks during the Karamja Volcano quest, where players may need to speak with him for information or transportation to complete their objectives. He does not offer any combat or quest rewards directly, but his role is essential for initiating travel to the island, which is rich in resources and features various quests.
Players often refer to Captain Barnaby when discussing travel routes between regions, and he serves as a reminder of the adventurer’s journey in the vast world of Gielinor. His presence not only enables transportation but also adds to the immersive experience of interacting with the world and its various characters.
