Starting the Quest

• A Master Thieves' Armband

These items can be collected in any order but must be given to her at the same time.

• The Grouping interface
• 'Osrs Soa' chat channel during peak hours

Important Note:

You don't need the skill requirements to help others with this portion. However, watch for scammers:

• Phoenix Gang members must kill Grip themselves - traded candlesticks won't work
