How to Charge Kharedst Memoirs in OSRS for Easy Kourend Teleports

In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), Kharedst’s Memoirs is a versatile item that offers players a convenient way to teleport across the five major cities of Great Kourend. This equipable book, rewarded upon completing the Client of Kourend quest, becomes a game-changer for navigating Zeah efficiently. However, to make the most of it, you need to know how to charge it properly and unlock its full potential. This guide dives deep into everything you need to know about charging Kharedst’s Memoirs, from gathering pages to recharging at the Old Memorial, ensuring you save time and runes while exploring Kourend.

Kharedst’s Memoirs is a unique teleportation item introduced as a reward for the Client of Kourend quest. Gifted by King Kharedst IV to his daughter Rose, this book allows players to teleport to specific locations in Great Kourend’s five houses—Hosidius, Piscarilius, Shayzien, Lovakengj, and Arceuus—once pages are added. Each teleport consumes a charge, and the book must be recharged to keep it functional.

Why Use Kharedst’s Memoirs?

The Memoirs shine for their accessibility and utility, especially for low- to mid-level players. Here’s why they’re worth your time:

  • Free teleports: After initial setup, teleports cost only a few runes per charge.
  • Time-saving: Quick access to Kourend’s cities streamlines clue scrolls, slayer tasks, and quests.
  • Low requirements: The quests to unlock pages are beginner-friendly.
  • Upgradable: Post-A Kingdom Divided, it becomes the Book of the Dead with more charges.

How to Obtain Kharedst’s Memoirs

Before charging the Memoirs, you need to get the book itself. It’s straightforward but requires completing a quest.

Complete the Client of Kourend Quest

The Client of Kourend is a novice quest that introduces you to Great Kourend. Speak to Veos at the Port Piscarilius docks to start. The quest involves running errands for various NPCs across Kourend’s houses, earning you favor and the Memoirs as a reward. It typically takes 20–30 minutes and has no strict skill requirements, making it accessible for new players.

Reclaiming the Memoirs

Lost your book? No worries. You can reclaim it from Veos at Port Piscarilius (or Cabin Boy Herbert after partial completion of A Kingdom Divided). If you’ve completed A Kingdom Divided, the book upgrades to the Book of the Dead, reclaimable from Commander Fullore at Kourend Castle.

Unlocking Teleport Locations with Pages

The Memoirs start empty, with no teleport functionality. To use it, you must add torn pages obtained from specific Kourend quests. Each page unlocks a teleport to one of Kourend’s five cities and adds 20 charges (or 8 charges in some older sources, but 20 is current as of 2025).

Quests for Torn Pages

Complete these quests to collect the pages:

Quest Page Name Teleport Location
The Depths of Despair Lunch by the Lancalliums Hosidius
The Queen of Thieves The Fisher’s Flute Piscarilius
Tale of the Righteous History and Hearsay Shayzien
The Forsaken Tower Jewellery of Jubilation Lovakengj
The Ascent of Arceuus Transporting Tunes Arceuus

The Secret Sixth Page

There’s a hidden sixth page you can uncover by using a knife on the Memoirs. A chatbox message will read, “While using your knife on the cover, a page hidden within a secret compartment falls out.” Adding this page doesn’t grant extra charges or a new teleport but provides additional lore about Rose and King Kharedst IV. It’s a fun Easter egg for completionists.

Tips for Adding Pages

  • Check your bank: If you’ve completed the quests but can’t find pages, search for names like “Lunch by the Lancalliums” or “Fisher’s Flute.” Players often misplace them.
  • Reclaim lost pages: Return to the quest NPC (e.g., Lord Kandur for Hosidius) to retrieve lost pages.
  • Add immediately: Use pages on the Memoirs right after getting them to avoid losing them.

Charging Kharedst’s Memoirs

Once pages are added, the Memoirs need charges to teleport. Each page initially provides 20 charges, but you’ll need to recharge it after depleting them. Here’s how to keep it powered up.

Locating the Old Memorial

To charge the Memoirs, visit the Old Memorial, a statue of King Kharedst IV located north of Land’s End and west of the Woodcutting Guild. You can reach it by:

  • Teleporting to Xeric’s Lookout with a Xeric’s Talisman and running southwest.
  • Using a skills necklace to the Woodcutting Guild and running west.
  • Taking a free ship to Land’s End from Veos at Port Piscarilius or Port Sarim, then running north.

Charging Process

At the Old Memorial, either inspect the statue or use the Memoirs on it. You’ll need the following runes per charge:

  • 1 Law Rune
  • 1 Body Rune
  • 1 Mind Rune
  • 1 Soul Rune

Each charge costs approximately 320–331 coins (based on Grand Exchange prices as of April 2025) and grants 10 Magic XP. The Memoirs can hold up to 100 charges (20 per page added). After upgrading to the Book of the Dead, this increases to 250 charges.

Maximizing Efficiency

To save time and runes:

  • Use a rune pouch: Store runes in a rune pouch to charge the Memoirs without clogging your inventory.
  • Batch charge: Add multiple charges at once to minimize trips to the Old Memorial.
  • Combine trips: If you’re near Land’s End for other tasks (e.g., clue scrolls), charge the Memoirs while there.

Upgrading to the Book of the Dead

After completing A Kingdom Divided, Kharedst’s Memoirs transforms into the Book of the Dead, offering enhanced features while retaining the same teleport locations.

Benefits of the Book of the Dead

The upgrade brings several improvements:

  • Higher charge capacity: Holds up to 250 charges (150 base + 20 per page).
  • Resurrection spells: Required for casting resurrection spells in Arceuus magic.
  • Stat boosts: Provides +6 Magic and +3 Prayer bonuses when equipped.

Reclaiming the Book of the Dead

If lost, retrieve it from Commander Fullore on the ground floor of Kourend Castle. You can also buy additional copies from Perdu for 9,500 coins, handy for keeping spares in your bank.

Should You Upgrade?

Upgrading is a no-brainer if you’re progressing through Kourend’s questline. The increased charge capacity and extra bonuses make it superior for long-term use, especially for players tackling slayer, clue scrolls, or Arceuus spellbook activities.

Charging Kharedst’s Memoirs is a simple yet rewarding process that unlocks fast travel across Great Kourend, saving you countless hours of walking. By completing the necessary quests, adding pages, and keeping it charged at the Old Memorial, you’ll have a reliable teleport tool at your fingertips. Whether you’re a low-level adventurer or a seasoned player, the Memoirs—and its upgraded Book of the Dead form—are must-haves for efficient gameplay in OSRS.
