OSRS Guide to Getting Scroll of Redirection
In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the Scroll of Redirection is a valuable item that lets players redirect a Teleport to House tablet to various locations, such as Trollheim or Rellekka, saving time and inventory space. Whether you’re an Ironman, a farmer, or just looking to optimize your teleports, this guide will walk you through how to get Scrolls of Redirection, their uses, and tips to make the process efficient. Let’s dive into the details of obtaining this handy item!
The Scroll of Redirection is a reward from the Nightmare Zone (NMZ) minigame, costing 775 reward points per scroll. It’s used to redirect a Teleport to House tablet to one of several Player-Owned House (POH) portal locations or Trollheim, provided you meet the Construction level or quest requirements. This makes it a game-changer for tasks like farming runs, God Wars Dungeon trips, or navigating Gielinor efficiently.
Why Use Scrolls of Redirection?
- Teleport Flexibility: Redirect tablets to locations like Yanille, Brimhaven, or Trollheim without needing multiple teleport items.
- Inventory Efficiency: Save space by combining teleports, especially useful for Ironmen or Ultimate Ironmen.
- Cost-Effective: At roughly 1,000 coins in equivalent value (based on NMZ herb box conversions), it’s a budget-friendly option.
How to Get Scrolls of Redirection
The primary way to obtain Scrolls of Redirection is through the Nightmare Zone, located north of Yanille. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process.
Step 1: Unlock Nightmare Zone
To access NMZ, you need to complete at least 5 quests that feature bosses available in the minigame. Some beginner-friendly options include:
- Vampire Slayer
- Witch’s House
- Tree Gnome Village
- The Grand Tree
- Fight Arena
Once you’ve completed these, head to Dominic Onion outside the NMZ arena to start.
Step 2: Choose Your Game Mode
NMZ offers three modes, but Rumble is the best for earning points efficiently. Here’s a quick overview:
| Mode | Description | Cost | Points Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice | Fight one boss, no points earned. | Free | Not applicable |
| Endurance | Fight bosses sequentially. | 1,000 coins (Normal), 5,000 coins (Hard) | Moderate |
| Rumble | Fight multiple bosses at once. | 2,000 coins (Normal), 6,000 coins (Hard) | High |
Tip: Choose Hard Rumble for maximum points per hour if your combat stats are decent (70+ recommended).
Step 3: Earn Nightmare Zone Points
In Hard Rumble, you can earn 500,000 to 1,000,000 points per hour with optimal setups. Here’s how to maximize points:
- Use Absorption Potions: Buy these from the NMZ shop (1,000 points each) to reduce damage taken.
- Overloads: Boost your combat stats for faster kills (1,500 points per dose).
- Prayer Flicking: Use Protect from Melee to minimize damage while conserving Absorption points.
- Choose Easy Bosses: Stick to bosses like Count Draynor or King Roald for quicker kills.
With 775 points per scroll, you can buy several scrolls after just one hour of efficient NMZ grinding.
Step 4: Purchase Scrolls of Redirection
Once you’ve earned enough points, talk to Dominic Onion and access the Rewards Shop. Navigate to the Resources tab and buy Scrolls of Redirection for 775 points each. If you change your mind, unused scrolls can be refunded without losing points.
Using Scrolls of Redirection
After obtaining a scroll, you’ll need a Teleport to House tablet, which you can craft with Construction or buy from the Grand Exchange. Here’s how to use them.
Redirecting a Tablet
Use the Scroll of Redirection on a Teleport to House tablet. You’ll be prompted to choose a destination from the following locations, assuming you meet the requirements:
| Location | Construction Level | Quest Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Rimmington | 1 | None |
| Taverley | 10 | None |
| Pollnivneach | 20 | None |
| Hosidius | 25 | None |
| Rellekka | 30 | None |
| Aldarin | 35 | Children of the Sun |
| Brimhaven | 40 | None |
| Yanille | 50 | None |
| Trollheim | None | Eadgar’s Ruse |
| Prifddinas | 70 | Song of the Elves |
Note: You can redirect multiple tablets at once if you have enough scrolls and tablets.
Reverting a Tablet
If you want to change a redirected tablet back to a standard Teleport to House tablet, you can revert it, but the scroll won’t be refunded. This is useful for trips like God Wars Dungeon, where you might redirect two tablets to Trollheim, use one, and revert the other.
Tips for Efficient Scroll Farming
To make your NMZ grind as smooth as possible, consider these strategies:
Optimize Your Gear
Use high-damage gear like the Abyssal Whip, Dragon Scimitar, or Obsidian armor for melee setups. For mages or rangers, gear like Trident of the Seas or Toxic Blowpipe speeds up kills.
Stock Up on Potions
Before starting, buy enough Absorption and Overload potions from the NMZ shop. A single Overload dose lasts 5 minutes, so plan for 12 doses per hour in Hard Rumble.
Automate with Auto-Retaliate
Turn on auto-retaliate and use a safespot (like standing in a corner) to reduce manual clicking. This lets you semi-AFK while still earning points.
Avoid Boosters
Some players use “boosters” (accounts that help in NMZ), but they reduce your points per hour. Solo Hard Rumble is more efficient for scroll farming.
Common Uses for Redirected Tablets
Redirected tablets are versatile and can streamline many activities in OSRS. Here are some popular uses:
Farming Runs
Redirect tablets to Brimhaven or Taverley for quick access to fruit tree patches or herb patches, saving runes or inventory slots.
God Wars Dungeon
Trollheim tablets (via Eadgar’s Ruse completion) are a favorite for GWD trips. They teleport you directly to the dungeon entrance, bypassing long walks.
Clue Scrolls
Locations like Yanille or Rellekka are common clue scroll hotspots. Redirected tablets make these steps faster.
Ironman Efficiency
Ironmen benefit greatly, as redirected tablets reduce reliance on other teleports. Note that Ironmen can now buy scrolls (unlike early restrictions), making this a viable strategy.
Final Thoughts: The Scroll of Redirection is a must-have for OSRS players looking to optimize their gameplay. By grinding Nightmare Zone efficiently, you can stock up on scrolls and unlock a world of teleporting possibilities. Whether you’re teleporting to Trollheim for GWD or Rellekka for clue scrolls, this item is a small investment with big rewards. Get out there, earn those points, and start redirecting!
