Whether you’re a seasoned player looking for a quick quest or a new adventurer seeking to gain some easy experience, this guide will walk you through the Easy Ribbiting Tale Quest step-by-step.

Requirements

Before diving into the quest, let’s review the requirements. Luckily, the Ribbiting Tale Quest is a beginner-friendly quest with minimal prerequisites:

Quest Points Required: 0

Skills Required: None

Items Required: None (though having some teleportation methods will help save time)

Monsters to Defeat: None

This quest is perfect for newer players or those who want a break from more challenging content.

Starting the Ribbiting Tale Quest

The quest begins at Lumbridge, a location that is familiar to all OSRS players. Head to Derek the Dribbler, a new NPC located near the pond west of Lumbridge Castle. Derek will share his tale about a series of strange events in the swamp and will ask for your help in investigating. After accepting the quest, your adventure will begin.

Step 1: Investigate the Lumbridge Swamp

Derek sends you to investigate the strange occurrences at the Lumbridge Swamp. Head south from Lumbridge Castle and enter the swamp. Once there, look for the Croaky Frog near the entrance to the Swamp Caves. Talking to the frog reveals that something strange is afoot. It appears that several frogs in the swamp are being transformed into humans!

After the conversation, head deeper into the swamp to locate the next clue. You’ll come across a mysterious potion bottle lying near the Water Altar. Examining the bottle will trigger the next stage of the quest.

Step 2: Find the Potion’s Source

Derek will suggest that you investigate the Witch’s House in Draynor Village to learn more about the potion. Teleport or walk to Draynor Village and knock on Aggie the Witch’s door. She’ll confess that she’s been experimenting with potions, but one of them went wrong, causing the frogs in the Lumbridge Swamp to turn into humans.

Aggie will ask you to gather three ingredients to brew a reversal potion:

1.Swamp Toad – Found in the Lumbridge Swamp.

2.Snail Slime – Obtainable by killing snails in Mort Myre Swamp.

3.Bog Herb – Located near the Mort Myre swamp’s northern edge.

Each ingredient is relatively easy to gather. Use a Mort’ton Teleport Scroll or the Fairy Ring to quickly reach the swamp, grab the items, and return to Aggie.

Step 3: Brew the Potion

With all the ingredients in hand, return to Aggie in Draynor Village. She’ll brew the potion for you, but there’s a twist—the potion needs to be tested on a test subject. Derek volunteers, and after drinking the potion, he temporarily turns into a frog! Luckily, the potion works, and Derek quickly returns to his human form.

Step 4: Return to the Swamp

With the reversal potion complete, head back to the Lumbridge Swamp. There, you’ll find several frogs, now turned humans, milling around. Use the potion on them one by one to revert them to their frog forms. Once all of the frogs have been turned back, you’ll be rewarded for your efforts.

Quest Rewards

Completing the Ribbiting Tale Quest will net you some useful rewards:

1 Quest Point

2,000 Magic XP (perfect for early-level Magic training)

500 Crafting XP

A Frog Transmogrification Item – A fun, cosmetic item that lets you turn into a frog for a short time.

Additionally, you’ll gain access to a new area in the Lumbridge Swamp, where you can find herbs and rare frogs that can be used in potion-making.

Tips and Tricks

Teleportation: Use teleportation methods like the Lumbridge Home Teleport, Draynor Village Necklace, and Fairy Rings to speed up travel between quest locations.

Mort Myre Swamp: If you’re struggling to find snail slime or bog herbs, bring along a Silver Sickle (b) to bless the nearby rotten logs and spawn additional herbs.

Recommended Gear: The quest doesn’t require any combat, so there’s no need to gear up for battle. Instead, bring items that reduce your weight and provide stamina for faster travel.
