Exploring Ancient Spellbook Teleports in Old School RuneScape

RuneScape adventurers! If you’re looking to zip around Gielinor like a pro, the Ancient Spellbook teleports in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) are a game-changer. As someone who’s spent years casting spells and exploring every corner of the game, I’ve come to love the Ancient Magicks for their speed and style. These teleports aren’t just about getting from point A to B—they open up new ways to play, from efficient skilling to epic PvP battles. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Ancient Spellbook teleports, with some personal stories and tips from my time in OSRS. Ready to teleport? Let’s go!

The Ancient Spellbook, also called Ancient Magicks, is a special set of spells you unlock after completing the Desert Treasure quest. Unlike the standard spellbook, it’s packed with powerful combat spells and unique teleports that take you to places you can’t reach otherwise. I remember the first time I switched to Ancient Magicks—it felt like I’d unlocked a secret map of Gielinor.

Why Use Ancient Spellbook Teleports?

These teleports are fast, convenient, and perfect for specific tasks. Whether you’re rushing to a slayer task or setting up for a Wilderness PK session, they save time. Plus, they just feel cool to use. Have you ever cast an Ancient teleport and felt like a wizard? I sure have!

How to Unlock the Ancient Spellbook

To use these teleports, you need:

  • Complete Desert Treasure: This quest is a tough one, but it’s worth it. I struggled with the bosses when I first did it, but the reward was game-changing.

  • Magic Level: Most teleports require 50+ Magic, with some needing up to 96.

  • Runes: Stock up on law, fire, water, air, and blood runes. I always keep a rune pouch filled for quick casting.

You can switch to the Ancient Spellbook by praying at the Altar of Zaros in Jaldraoak’s Shrine after the quest. Pro tip: Bring a restore potion to reset your stats after praying!

The Ancient Spellbook has eight teleports, split into solo and group versions. Each takes you to a unique location tied to the Ancient Cities of Menaphos, Senntisten, and Lassar. Here’s a rundown of where they go and how I’ve used them.

Solo vs. Group Teleports

Solo teleports take just you, while group teleports can bring your friends along. I’ve used group teleports for clan PK trips in the Wilderness—nothing beats porting in with a squad! Group teleports are great for team bossing or Wilderness events too. Ever tried a group teleport? It’s a fun way to roll with your crew.

Best Uses for Ancient Spellbook Teleports

Each teleport has its own vibe and purpose. Here’s how I use them in my OSRS adventures, along with some tips to make them shine.

Paddewwa Teleport (Edgeville Dungeon)

This teleport drops you near Edgeville Dungeon, perfect for:

  • Slayer Tasks: Great for ankous, earth warriors, or hill giants. I use this when my slayer task is in the dungeon.

  • Edgeville Furnace: It’s a short run to the furnace for Smithing or Superheat Item skilling.

  • Wilderness Access: Close to the Wilderness ditch for quick PK trips.

I once used Paddewwa to rush an ankou task and ended up with a sweet clue scroll drop. The teleport saved me so much time compared to running from Lumbridge!

Senntisten Teleport (Digsite/Senntisten Temple)

This one takes you to the Digsite, which is awesome for:

  • Archaeology Training: If you’re grinding Archaeology, this is your go-to. I’ve spent hours here excavating for artifacts.

  • Quest Access: Handy for The Dig Site or Temple of Senntisten quests.

  • Varrock Teleport Alternative: It’s closer to the Digsite than the standard Varrock teleport.

Pro tip: Bring a Digsite pendant for even faster access to the exam centre. What’s your favorite Digsite activity?

Kharyrll Teleport (Canifis)

Kharyrll ports you right to Canifis, my favorite for:

  • Slayer Tasks: Werewolves, ghouls, and vampires are all nearby. I use this for quick task starts.

  • Morytania Access: Close to Barrows, Port Phasmatys, and the Ectofuntus. I’ve teleported here for Barrows runs countless times.

  • Farming Runs: The Canifis mushroom patch is a short walk away.

I remember teleporting to Canifis for a vampire task and accidentally stumbling into a PKer in the nearby swamp. Always keep your wits about you!

Lassar Teleport (Ice Mountain)

This teleport lands you on Ice Mountain, which is great for:

  • Black Knights’ Fortress: Perfect for the Black Knights’ Fortress quest or clue scroll steps.

  • Monastery: Close to the Edgeville Monastery for Prayer training or herb runs.

  • Falador Access: A quick run to Falador for skilling or quests.

I use Lassar when I need to hit the monastery for a quick Prayer boost. It’s faster than walking from Falador!

Wilderness Teleports (Dareeyak, Carrallangar, Annakarl, Ghorrock)

The four Wilderness teleports are Risky but rewarding. They’re mainly used for:

  • PKing: Dareeyak and Carrallangar are great for low-level Wilderness PK spots. I’ve had some epic fights at the Graveyard of Shadows.

  • Clue Scrolls: Annakarl and Ghorrock are perfect for high-level Wilderness clue steps.

  • Bosses: Close to Callisto, Venenatis, or the Chaos Fanatic. I’ve used Annakarl to rush the Demonic Ruins for a boss fight.

Be careful in the Wilderness! I once teleported to Ghorrock and got ambushed by a PKer. Always carry a one-click teleport like an amulet of glory.

Tips for Using Ancient Teleports Like a Pro

To get the most out of these teleports, you need a plan. Here are my go-to tips from years of spell-casting.

Stock Up on Runes

Ancient teleports eat up runes, especially blood and soul runes. I keep a rune pouch with 1,000 of each rune type to avoid running dry. Buy in bulk from the Grand Exchange to save time. Ever run out of runes mid-teleport? It’s the worst!

Combine with Other Teleports

Mix Ancient teleports with other methods for max efficiency. For example, I use Kharyrll to Canifis, then an ectophial to Port Phasmatys. It’s like building a teleport network across Gielinor.

Use for Specific Tasks

Match the teleport to your goal:

  • Slayer: Kharyrll and Paddewwa for Morytania or Edgeville tasks.

  • Skilling: Senntisten for Archaeology, Lassar for Prayer or herb runs.

  • PKing: Wilderness teleports for quick access to hotspots.

Stay Safe in the Wilderness

For Dareeyak, Carrallangar, Annakarl, and Ghorrock, always:

  • Bring a one-click teleport (like a glory or royal seed pod).

  • Wear cheap gear to minimize risk.

  • Scout the area before engaging in combat.

I learned this the hard way when I lost a full inventory of loot at Annakarl. Now, I never teleport without a backup plan.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even seasoned players like me mess up sometimes. Here’s what to watch out for.

Forgetting to Switch Spellbooks

You can’t cast Ancient teleports on the standard spellbook. I once tried to teleport to Canifis and realized I was still on Lunar Magicks—oops! Always check your spellbook at the Altar of Zaros.

Running Out of Runes

Nothing’s more annoying than being one blood rune short. I’ve been stuck in the middle of nowhere because I didn’t check my inventory. Always double-check your rune stack before a big trip.

Teleporting Unprepared to the Wilderness

Wilderness teleports are dangerous. I once ported to Ghorrock without food or a teleport and paid the price. Always bring food, prayer potions, and a quick escape.

My Ancient Spellbook Journey

When I first unlocked the Ancient Spellbook, I was Thrilled. Desert Treasure was a grind, but casting my first Kharyrll teleport to Canifis felt like magic (pun intended). I’ve since used these teleports for everything—slayer, clue scrolls, even rushing to a Wilderness PK spot for a quick fight. One of my favorite moments was using Annakarl to finish a hard clue scroll at the Demonic Ruins, only to barely escape a PKer. What’s your best Ancient teleport story? Let me know!
