OSRS TCG Contact! — Old School RuneScape quest card mapping

Start: talk to High Priest (Sophanem).

The High Priest of Icthlarin has problems again - this time with the inhabitants of Menaphos. Sophanem is recovering from the plague, yet most of its citizens are still trapped on the other side of the river. Diplomacy has failed and subterfuge beckons. Clearly, this is the sort of job that a shifty adventurer could excel in.

Contact! is a members Old School RuneScape quest rated Experienced. The OSRS TCG Contact! card list covers 4 of the items and monsters involved, including Giant Scarab, Locust rider and Scarab Mage. This page pairs the quest with those cards and with the open player trades for them; the OSRS Wiki remains the authority on requirements and the walkthrough itself.

    Any light source works; non-extinguishable ones (Kandarin headgear, Firemaking cape, Abyssal lantern, bruma torch) are strongly recommended as traps can't put them out. A guard under the temple sells an unlit torch for 200 coins if you have none.
