Having Written the RuneHQ DT guide, i thought i should share some of the stuff i learned to improve this one

Speak to the Archaeologist in the Bedabin Camp. He'll give you some etching from a stone tablet he uncovered somewhere and will ask you if you'll take it to Terry Balando at the Varrock Digsite.
Head to the Varrock Digsite, which is east of Varrock(Teleport recommended).

This could be changed to

Speak to the Archaeologist in the Bedabin Camp. He'll give you some etching from a stone tablet he uncovered somewhere and will ask you if you'll take it to Terry Balando at the Varrock Digsite. When you follow the path to the Digsite, Head South into the Examination area, You will find Terry Balando there.
Head to the Varrock Digsite, which is east of Varrock(Teleport recommended).


I need confirmation this still works but

Another way for killing Damis is to range him, directly above his Tomb, is a long stretch of grass. When you Summon him, run north upwards to the end, If you do it correctly, Then he will get stuck in the long grass, leaving you free to Mage/Range him without using any food of prayer. Note: If this has been fixed, or you dont do this correctly, you WILL lose the Blood, so you will have to go through the filling the pot process again, You do not however, need to make another Offering Pot.


A Technique i found for Kamil, which worked extremely well for me, and it requires less super restores, Is to use Fire Bolt, along with the Chaos Gauntlets, this means you will hit more often, as it is a lower level spell, and you dont need to top-up with a Super Restore as often, This Technique works well with those who have a lower magic level and who it would be un-cost Effective to use a spell such as Fire Blast, as it Would mean having to take a dose of Super-Restore Every 30 seconds or so.



For the Gilded Cross Theiving, it is much quicker, and effective to Take the Following in your Inventory

24 Lockpicks, Purchased from Martin Thwait at the Rogues Den.
2 Sharks
1 Antipoison.
One space having been used for the Shantay Pass

Im not sure if this works better or not, but i failed 22 Times straight just clicking the Pick-Lock option on the chest. However the first time i used the Pick-Lock with the Chest, it opened first time.

this might be tricky because they could say we stole their guide because it might look a bit like runehq's

If someone could start Desert Treasure, they would've done Digsite. People who've done Digsite would know Terry Balando as the Archaeologist expert so they should know he's within the examination area. Though it could be useful to mention where the area is, it kinda depends on what the staff thinks.

If finding a safe spot means I have to risk losing the pot of blood, I'd rather spend more on Prayer potions and food to be safe. At some point in the future, Jagex could see this as an easy way out and change it. It probably saves more resources in the long run to fight Dessous head on.

I've done Digsite and have not started Desert Treasure and probably will not for some time. I had no idea who or where Terry Balando is. Mentioning where to find him is very useful for those in the same situation I'm in.

There are too many NPC's in RS now for for people to remember who and where they all are. Assuming someone else remembers the same things you do is a mistake. The guides should give all necessary information to complete the quest as well as helpful tips such as where certain NPC's are.

Er, Dessous isn't that hard, I didn't even use a full pray pot on him. The other part is fine as it is as well, when I did it I had no problem finding Terry Bandalo or w/e, and I used this guide, and this is the first complaint I've heard of it.

Ithelps, for those who had a distance between doing digsite and DT, like me, ihad to look at 4 guides to find where he was

Actually, instead of using Varrock teleport, wouldn't using a ring of dueling to go to the gnome glider in Al Kharid, then flying to gnome stronghold, and then fly to the digsite? Faster than Varrock teleport if you ask me.

Person might not have completed Gnome Stronghold.
