In the Sorceress’s Garden minigame in Old School RuneScape, players sneak through the garden, hiding from the sight of passing elementals, with the goal of picking from the sq’irk tree in the center of the garden. The sq’irk fruits are made into sq’irk juice and traded to Osman for Thieving experience.
To play Sorceress’s Garden, OSRS players must have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest. Players who have yet to play Sorceress’s Garden must talk to Osman and then the Sorceress’s apprentice until she is convinced to teleport the player to the Sorceress’s Garden. On subsequent trips, players have a right-click teleport option with the Sorceress’s apprentice and need not speak with Osman.
The central garden contains a fountain. Drinking from the fountain teleports the OSRS player back to the Sorceress’s house. Players who have completed Swept Away Quest and teleported via broomstick arrive at this fountain.
Four gardens surround the central garden. Each garden consists of a maze which leads to the sq’irk tree. Elementals patrol the garden, and the player needs to get to the tree without being spotted by the elementals, who teleport the player to the center. Each trip to the tree allows the player to pick one sq’irk fruit, after which the player is teleported to the center. Players can opt to pick two herbs instead; the herbs picked are random. Once the player has enough fruits, a pestle and mortar are used to make juice, provided the player has a beer glass in inventory. Beer glasses are found in the cabinet of the sorceress’s kitchen.
The winter garden requires a thieving level of one to enter. Five sq’irk fruits are required to make one glass of winter sq’irk juice. Picking each fruit grants 30 farming experience. Drinking the juice grants a 0-level thieving boost and restores 10% of run energy. Giving the juice to Osman is recommended; Osman grants 350 thieving experience per glass.
The spring garden requires level 25 thieving to enter. Four sq’irk fruits are required for one cup of sq’irk juice. Each fruit grants 40 farming experience when picked. Drinking the juice grants a 1-level thieving boost and restores 20% run energy. Osman grants 1,350 thieving experience for each cup of spring juice.
The autumn garden requires 45 thieving to enter. The juice requires three sq’irk fruits. Picking each fruit grants 50 farming experience. Drinking the juice provides a 2-level thieving boost and 30% run energy restored, but Osman grants 2,350 thieving experience if you give him the juice.
The summer garden requires level 65 thieving to enter. Only two sq’irk fruits are needed. Picking grants 60 years of farming experience each. Drinking the juice grants a 3-level thieving boost and restores 40% run energy, but Osman will trade 3,000 thieving experience per glass.
To play Sorceress’s Garden, bring a pestle and mortar, inventory of beer glasses, and 2-5 free spots for fruit. Enter the gate and turn on run. Advance in the maze when the elementals’ backs are turned; they only see straight ahead. Hide behind obstacles and advance through the maze until the tree is reached. Completion of the maze takes roughly a minute. Players who like stealth will enjoy Sorceress’s Garden. It is possible to obtain over 65k thieving experience per hour for players who are good at Sorceress’s Garden.
