Ecto-token

Ecto-tokens are a unique currency in Old School RuneScape, primarily used within the realm of the Mourning’s End quest and the afterlife. These tokens can be obtained by players by offering bones at the Ectofuntus, a sacred altar located in Port Phasmatys. The Ectofuntus not only serves as a means to gain prayer experience but also allows players to exchange the bones for ecto-tokens, which can then be spent on a variety of rewards and services in the ghostly community.

Players often collect ecto-tokens to purchase items such as the Ectophial, a convenient item that enables teleportation to Port Phasmatys with ease. Furthermore, ecto-tokens can be used to buy various useful supplies and enhancements related to the ghostly and undead creatures within the game. As players delve deeper into the eerie stories and quests surrounding Port Phasmatys, the accumulation of ecto-tokens becomes essential for adventurers looking to fully experience the rich lore of the game.
