OSRS Kharedst Memoirs Charging Guide for Easy Kourend Teleports
In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), Kharedst’s Memoirs is a game-changer for navigating the vast region of Great Kourend. This equipable book, obtained as a reward from the Client of Kourend quest, offers free teleports to five major cities, saving players countless hours of travel. However, to make the most of it, you need to know how to charge and use it effectively. This guide dives into everything you need to know about charging Kharedst’s Memoirs, unlocking its teleports, and optimizing its use for clue scrolls, slayer tasks, and more.
Kharedst’s Memoirs is a quest reward given by Veos after completing the Client of Kourend quest. It’s a book gifted by King Kharedst IV to his daughter Rose, allowing players to teleport to specific locations in Great Kourend by using charges. Charging the book is essential to unlock and sustain these teleports, which are especially useful for clue scrolls, slayer tasks, and general exploration.
Key Benefits of Charging Kharedst’s Memoirs
- Free Teleports: No need for expensive teleport spells or jewelry.
- Convenient Locations: Teleport near lancalliums in each of Kourend’s five cities.
- Time-Saver: Speeds up clue scroll steps and slayer task travel.
- Upgradable: Becomes the Book of the Dead after A Kingdom Divided, with more charges.
How It Fits Into Your OSRS Gameplay
Whether you’re a skiller, quester, or clue scroll enthusiast, the Memoirs simplifies navigation. Charging it ensures you always have teleports ready, reducing downtime and boosting efficiency.
How to Obtain Kharedst’s Memoirs
Before charging, you need the book itself. Here’s how to get it and set it up for charging.
Complete the Client of Kourend Quest
Start by speaking to Veos at Port Piscarilius or Port Sarim. The Client of Kourend quest is novice-level, requiring no specific skills and taking about 20-30 minutes. Upon completion, Veos rewards you with Kharedst’s Memoirs.
Reclaiming a Lost Memoirs
If you lose the book, don’t panic. You can reclaim it from Veos or Cabin Boy Herbert at Port Piscarilius docks. If you’ve completed A Kingdom Divided, the upgraded Book of the Dead is reclaimed from Commander Fullore at Kourend Castle.
Charging Kharedst’s Memoirs Step-by-Step
Charging the Memoirs requires adding torn pages and runes. Here’s the detailed process.
Step 1: Collect Torn Pages
To unlock teleport locations, you need torn pages from specific Kourend quests. Each page corresponds to one of the five cities and adds 20 charges to the book’s capacity.
| Page Name | Quest | Teleport Location |
|---|---|---|
| The Fisher’s Flute | The Queen of Thieves | Piscarilius |
| History and Hearsay | Tale of the Righteous | Shayzien |
| Jewellery of Jubilation | The Depths of Despair | Hosidius |
| A Dark Disposition | The Forsaken Tower | Lovakengj |
| Architecture of Arceuus | The Ascent of Arceuus | Arceuus |
Note: If you lose a page before adding it, reclaim it from the respective quest NPC.
Step 2: Add Pages to the Memoirs
Use each torn page on the Memoirs to unlock its teleport and increase the charge capacity by 20, up to a maximum of 100 charges (20 per page). A sixth secret page exists (found by using a knife on the Memoirs), but it doesn’t add charges or teleports.
Step 3: Gather Runes for Charging
To add charges, you need runes. Each charge requires:
- 1 Law Rune
- 1 Body Rune
- 1 Mind Rune
- 1 Soul Rune
As of April 2025, the cost per charge is approximately 302-330 GP, depending on Grand Exchange prices. You also gain 10 Magic XP per charge added.
Step 4: Charge the Memoirs
Travel to the Old Memorial, located north of Land’s End (west of the Woodcutting Guild). Inspect the memorial with the required runes in your inventory to add charges. Each teleport consumes one charge, so stock up to avoid frequent trips.
Upgrading to the Book of the Dead
After completing A Kingdom Divided, Kharedst’s Memoirs upgrades to the Book of the Dead, offering enhanced features.
Increased Charge Capacity
The Book of the Dead holds up to 250 charges, compared to the Memoirs’ 100. This makes it ideal for heavy teleport users.
Additional Magic and Prayer Bonuses
The upgraded book provides:
It also allows casting resurrection spells, requiring it to be equipped or in your inventory.
Charging Remains the Same
The charging process is identical to the Memoirs, using the same runes and Old Memorial. Charges are retained if the book is lost and reclaimed.
Tips for Optimizing Kharedst’s Memoirs Usage
Maximize the Memoirs’ potential with these practical tips.
Prioritize Quests for Pages
Complete the five Kourend quests as soon as possible to unlock all teleports. They’re relatively short and beginner-friendly, with low skill requirements.
Stock Up on Runes
Buy runes in bulk from the Grand Exchange or shops like the Magic Guild to save time. Soul runes are often the priciest, so consider runecrafting them if you’re on a budget.
Use for Clue Scrolls and Slayer
Many clue scroll steps and slayer tasks are near the Memoirs’ teleport locations. Keep it charged to zip around Kourend efficiently.
Combine with Other Teleports
Pair the Memoirs with a Skills Necklace (for Woodcutting Guild) or fairy rings for broader coverage. For example, teleport to Shayzien via Memoirs, then use a fairy ring for other Zeah locations.
Check Charges Regularly
Don’t get stranded—right-click the Memoirs to check remaining charges. Recharge at the Old Memorial before running out.
Kharedst’s Memoirs is one of the most underrated tools in OSRS, offering free, reliable teleports that rival pricier methods. By charging it properly and unlocking all pages, you’ll breeze through Great Kourend’s cities, making your adventures more efficient and enjoyable. Whether you’re hunting clues, slaying monsters, or exploring, this guide ensures you’re ready to harness the full power of the Memoirs—or its upgraded Book of the Dead.
