The path to Port Tyras, a key location in the Elven lands of Isafdar, is not always straightforward. This guide will break down exactly how to get there, focusing on the most efficient methods for both new and experienced players. In short, the primary method to reach Port Tyras is by chartering a ship from another port. However, it’s not quite that simple! You’ll need to have completed (or at least partially completed) a significant quest to access this important location. Let’s dive into the details.
Reaching Port Tyras: The Charter Ship Method
The most common and fastest way to reach Port Tyras is by utilizing a charter ship. These ships, found at various ports throughout RuneScape, offer a quick means of transportation for a fee. However, there’s a crucial requirement before you can sail to Port Tyras: you need to have completed the Regicide quest.
Pre-Requisites: Regicide Quest
The Regicide quest is a major undertaking, and a requirement to make use of a charter ship directly to Port Tyras. While you might briefly visit the port during this quest, full completion is necessary to use the charter service to travel back. This requirement ensures that players have made sufficient progress into the Elven storyline before gaining easy access to this area.
Chartering a Ship to Port Tyras
Once you’ve completed Regicide, you can charter a ship directly to Port Tyras. The most common place to do this is from Catherby. Here are the key details:
- Cost: The base cost is 3,200 coins.
- Discounts: This fee can be reduced:
- If you have completed the Cabin Fever quest, the cost is reduced to 1,600 coins.
- If you are wearing a ring of charos(a), the cost is also reduced to 1,600 coins.
- If you have both the Cabin Fever completion and the ring equipped, the cost is reduced to a mere 800 coins.
This makes Catherby the most logical location for repeated trips to Port Tyras, providing you have those quest/item requirements. Find the charter ship captain located at the dock in Catherby, and you’ll be transported quickly to Port Tyras.
Alternative Access: The Regicide Quest
As mentioned earlier, during the Regicide quest itself you will need to pass through Port Tyras. This partial access allows you to charter a ship out of Port Tyras. However, you won’t be able to freely charter back there again until you have finished the entire quest.
Understanding Port Tyras and Tyras Camp
It’s important to distinguish between Port Tyras and Tyras Camp. Port Tyras is the port west of Tyras Camp. It consists primarily of a dock with a charter ship and several Tyras guards, with no buildings or other significant features. Port Tyras serves mainly as a transit hub for reaching other areas. Tyras Camp, on the other hand, is located further inland, within Isafdar, and is a place the player will visit as part of the Regicide quest.
Traveling Beyond Port Tyras
Once at Port Tyras, you have several options for further travel. If your destination is Lletya you can use the path in the forest. If your goal is Zulrah, you can travel south from Port Tyras.
