Myths of the White Lands

Description:

Explorer Jack may have taken a break from exploring, but he hasn't given up his old habits quite yet. His constant search for myths that could potentially hold secrets to rare trinkets and other trophies has led him to a passing snow imp, who told him a tale of riches in the distant Land of Snow. Just the task for any wannabe explorer! He now wants you to go and investigate the imp's story to discover if it holds any truth...

Note: This guide uses the English (US) based Numbering scheme, and not the English (UK/EU) Numbering scheme. An example: Second floor in English (US) Numbering scheme refers to First floor in the English (UK/EU) Numbering scheme, and likewise.

Speak to Explorer Jack just north of Lumbridge castle and west of the General store. He will tell you about the "riches" that await you in the land of snow, and will ask you to find out more about them. He will then give you a special code and will tell you to speak to Wizard Isidor in the Wizards' Tower to have him teleport you to the Land of Snow. The code word is "Ectosum Glissendo."
Wizard Isidor is located on the second floor of the Wizards' Tower. Speak to him and he will teleport you to the Land of Snow.

Note: Second floor in English (US) and First floor in English (UK/EU).
Once there, you will find that you cannot walk on the ice as it is far too slippery, so you must use the rocks around you in order to reach the cave. The solution for getting to the cave is as follows (there is more than one solution):

Once in the room with the now unconscious Yeti, pick up the stones and then slide back west out of the cave. Slide west again, right click the archway, and select "Exit-cave Archway" to return to the snow imps outside.
The snow imps will explain that the stones are actually just Yeti Dung and that they will enchant it for you to give to Explorer Jack. Teleport to Lumbridge and give them to Explorer Jack. You can either tell him that the stones are Yeti Dung or you can let him believe that they are real jewels. He will thank you and give you your reward.

Note: You can return to Explorer Jack later to receive an additional reward of 5k coins.

Congratulations! Quest Complete!

(Note: If you completed Sheep Shearer before it became a miniquest, then you will receive only 1 Quest point.)
