RSC Cabbage

Below is a list of all shortcuts found on RSC Cabbage:

• Rowboat - Lumbridge - no requirements. Hop in the rowboat and be taken to Edgeville, free of charge.

• Scot Ruth (anagram for shortcut) in Edgeville dungeon offers you access to a tunnel, for a one-time fee of 200k coins. This tunnel instantly brings you just south of the deep wilderness Evil altar (along the western border of wilderness), offering a far quicker route to King Black Dragon lair. This makes collecting Chipped dragon scales in pursuit of a Dragon scale mail.
