The Scroll of Redirection is a reward from the Nightmare Zone minigame, costing 775 reward points per scroll. It allows players to redirect a Teleport to House tablet to one of several Player-Owned House (POH) portal locations or Trollheim, provided they meet the required Construction levels or quest prerequisites. This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for efficient travel, especially for players looking to optimize farming runs, bossing, or skilling routes.

Why Use the Scroll of Redirection?

Here are some key reasons why the Scroll of Redirection is worth incorporating into your gameplay:

  • Custom Teleports: Redirect house tablets to locations like Trollheim or Rellekka, which are otherwise hard to access quickly.
  • Inventory Efficiency: Save inventory slots by combining multiple teleport destinations into one tablet type.
  • Time-Saving: Streamline activities like herb runs or boss trips with faster access to key areas.
  • Cost-Effective: At an estimated value of 1,000 coins per scroll (based on Nightmare Zone rewards), it’s a budget-friendly option compared to other teleports.

How to Obtain Scrolls of Redirection

Before you can use Scrolls of Redirection, you’ll need to get your hands on them. Here’s how:

Earning Nightmare Zone Points

Scrolls are purchased from the Nightmare Zone reward shop, located in Yanille. To earn points:

  1. Complete the required quests to unlock Nightmare Zone (e.g., Vampire Slayer, Fight Arena).
  2. Participate in Nightmare Zone modes like Rumble to fight bosses from completed quests.
  3. Earn points based on your performance—expect around 500k to 1M points per hour with decent stats and strategy.

Tip: Avoid boosters for maximum point efficiency, and choose bosses you can defeat consistently.

Purchasing Scrolls

Once you have enough points, visit Dominic Onion at the Nightmare Zone reward shop and buy Scrolls of Redirection for 775 points each. Stock up if you plan to redirect multiple tablets, as each scroll is consumed per use.

Redirecting a Teleport to House Tablet Step-by-Step

Using a Scroll of Redirection is straightforward, but it requires specific items and conditions. Follow these steps:

Requirements and Preparation

Before redirecting, ensure you have:

  • A Teleport to House tablet (purchased from the Grand Exchange or made via the Lectern in your POH).
  • A Scroll of Redirection from the Nightmare Zone.
  • The necessary Construction level to move your house to the desired location (except for Trollheim, which requires Eadgar’s Ruse completion).

Available Redirection Locations

The Scroll of Redirection can transform a house tablet into a teleport to one of these locations:

Location Construction Level Additional Requirements
Rimmington 1 None
Taverley 10 None
Pollnivneach 20 None
Hosidius 25 None
Rellekka 30 None
Aldarin 35 Children of the Sun completed
Brimhaven 40 None
Yanille 50 None
Trollheim None Eadgar’s Ruse completed
Prifddinas 70 Song of the Elves completed

Redirection Process

To redirect a tablet:

  1. Open your inventory and use the Scroll of Redirection on a Teleport to House tablet.
  2. A dialogue box will appear, listing available locations based on your Construction level and quest completions.
  3. Select your desired location (e.g., Trollheim for farming runs).
  4. Confirm the selection. The scroll and tablet will be consumed, and you’ll receive a new redirected tablet (e.g., Trollheim Teleport tablet).

Note: You can redirect multiple tablets at once if you have enough scrolls and tablets in your inventory.

Practical Uses for Redirected Tablets

Redirected tablets are incredibly versatile. Here are some of the best ways to use them:

Farming Runs

Redirect tablets to Taverley or Brimhaven for quick access to tree and fruit tree patches. For example:

  • Taverley: Close to the tree patch and herb patch (with Lunar Magic’s Fertile Soil spell).
  • Brimhaven: Ideal for fruit tree runs and Calquat patches.

Bossing and PvM

Redirect to Trollheim for fast access to the God Wars Dungeon or herb patch. Alternatively, use Rellekka for Slayer tasks or Fremennik content like Vorkath.

Skilling and Quests

Locations like Pollnivneach (for blackjacking) or Hosidius (for cooking or farming) can streamline skilling. Prifddinas is a hub for high-level content, perfect for endgame players with Song of the Elves completed.

Reverting Tablets

If you redirect a tablet and later change your mind, you can revert it back to a standard Teleport to House tablet. However, be aware that:

  • The Scroll of Redirection is not refunded.
  • Unused scrolls can be refunded at the Nightmare Zone for full points (775 per scroll).

Tips and Tricks for Maximizing Scroll of Redirection Value

To get the most out of your scrolls, consider these strategies:

Optimize Nightmare Zone Runs

Focus on bosses that suit your combat style to earn points faster. For example, use melee for bosses like King Roald or range for Count Draynor to maximize efficiency.

Plan Your Teleports

Before redirecting, think about your goals. If you’re farming, prioritize Taverley or Brimhaven. For bossing, Trollheim is often the best choice.

Stockpile Tablets and Scrolls

Buy Teleport to House tablets in bulk from the Grand Exchange when prices are low. Keep a stash of scrolls in your bank to redirect tablets as needed for different activities.

Use for Ironman Accounts

Since May 2016, Ironman accounts can purchase Scrolls of Redirection, making them a game-changer for self-sufficient players. Redirected tablets to Trollheim or Rellekka can significantly reduce travel time for herb runs or Slayer tasks.

Avoid Common Mistakes

Watch out for these pitfalls:

  • Redirecting Without Requirements: Ensure you meet the Construction level or quest requirements before using a scroll.
  • Wasting Scrolls: Don’t redirect tablets you won’t use immediately unless you’re planning ahead.
  • Ignoring Refunds: If you buy too many scrolls, refund unused ones to recover points.

By mastering the Scroll of Redirection, you’ll unlock a powerful tool for navigating OSRS more efficiently.
