Tour:
  1. Shortcut:
    This grapple shortcut once was the fastest way to get into Al Kharid. While the shortcut is now basically obsolete, it is still usable. To do so, you will need a Mithril grapple, a crossbow, 37 Ranged, 8 Agility, and 19 Strength.

  2. Bridge:
    Here we can find the reason the grapple shortcut is no longer particularly used. You do not need any special levels or equipment to cross from the swamp into Al Kharid from here. You can also find a Fremennik shipmaster who can transport you to Daemonheim and Wizard Chambers who can teleport you to Tuska's back, as well as a nearby Fremennik warrior.

  3. Fishing spots:
    South of the bridge are Net/Bait Fishing spots and a Fisherman for Fish Flingers.

  5. The Nexus:
    North of the Eastern Mine is Ysondria and The Nexus. It is a low-level Prayer activity that awards enough experience to easily level from 1-40. The aim of this activity is to collect corruption from the Nexus and use it with the bowls on the surrounding pillars to banish a creature known as the Grotesque. The Grotesque is the reason the swamp exists and is the source of the Wall beasts found in the dungeon beneath it. For more information on the Nexus, see our Prayer guide.

  6. Father Urhney's house:
    This is Father Urhney's house, and is accessed in both Restless Ghost as well as Buyers and Cellars. If your Ghostspeak amulet is lost or destroyed, Father Urhney will replace it for you. Around his house you will also find several plants that you can harvest Nettles from and inside on the table you can find a Leather gloves spawn.

  7. Zanaris shed:
    North of Father Urhney's house is the shed that can be used to teleport to the city of Zanaris, after completion of Lost City. If you wish to be transported you must enter it while wielding either a Dramen staff or a Lunar staff. Otherwise, nothing will happen and you will just enter the shed.

  8. Lumbridge Swamp dungeon:
    This is the entrance to the Lumbridge Swamp dungeon. One of the attractions of this dungeon is the Tears of Guthix activity (after completion of the Tears of Guthix quest). Make sure you bring a closed light source or else you will be constantly attacked. If it is an open light source, you have a chance to cause an explosion! Around the outside of the dungeon entrance can be found 7 Swamp tar spawns.

  9. Lost City Quest Start:
