Phials
Phials is a non-player character (NPC) located in the Rimmington village. He serves as a provider of various phials (also referred to as “vials”), which are essential items used in the crafting and potion-making skills.
Phials can be found near the north-eastern corner of Rimmington, just south of the Port Sarim dock and slightly west of the local bank. He has a distinctive appearance, often seen wearing a green apron and a friendly demeanor, inviting players to interact with him.
The primary function of Phials is to sell players a range of glass phials for a nominal fee of 1 coin each. Players can purchase the following types of phials from him:
- Glass Phial
- Unfused/unfilling Phial
- Potion Phial
- Filled Phial
Players frequently visit Phials to stock up on these items for their herb lore training, as phials are a crucial component in potion creation. The most commonly sought-after phials include the Swamp Tar phials, since creating potions often involves the use of these items as a base.
Beyond the basic function of selling phials, Phials also engages in short dialogue with players, providing a sense of interaction. His dialogue often consists of helpful tips about potion-making or information about Rimmington, adding depth to his character.
It is notable that while Phials does not provide any quests nor is he involved in any storyline, his presence is crucial for players looking to effectively gather the materials necessary for crafting potions. Many players view him as a vital resource in their overall gaming experience.
Phials is also known for his role in various training methods that are focused on the crafting skill, making him a commonly visited NPC among players aiming to level up their skills.
Overall, Phials is an integral part of the Rimmington community in Old School RuneScape, serving both as a vendor and a source of information for avid players and newcomers alike.
