Items required	Items from the tool belt are not listed unless they do not work or are not automatically added. A kitten, a cat, an overgrown cat, or a Hellcat (if it's a kitten you won't need food since it will only need to be out for seconds at a time) A tinderbox (Dwarven army axe will NOT work, nor will one in your toolbelt. You must bring one in your inventory, and you will lose it.) A full waterskin (which will be taken) A pile of salt or a bag of salt, (Bag of salt is obtainable from the G.E or slayer master) or an empty bucket to obtain a pile of salt Linen (obtainable during quest for 30gp) A willow log A bucket of sap (Use a bucket on an evergreen, found right next to the Catherby Lodestone or in between Falador and Barbarian Village, with a knife in inventory or toolbelt). Note: This is the only way to obtain a bucket of sap, as they cannot be traded or bought from the Grand Exchange. Recommended: Ghostspeak amulet (optional) Weight Reducing Equipment with a low weight inventory or runes to Tele-Grab About 750 coins (to pay for the magic carpets and supplies) At least 3 more full waterskins An antipoison potion or two, super antipoison potion or antipoison(++); Food in case of trap damage, being attacked and failing to jump the pit Pollnivneach teleports Pharaoh's sceptre(3) will be a fast teleport to the correct area. Poison Purge aura would help. Ring of Charos (a) Will greatly reduce the price of Carpet Traveling

Important Notes:

• After returning the Canopic Jar and talking to the priest, you can enter the city through the front gate, so you can use the magic carpet transport.
• It is possible to get out of the city without purposely dying, finishing the quest, or using a teleport. There is a small crack in the north-eastern corner of the wall near the locust. You can re-enter the city from a rock north-east of where the quest started, directly north-east of the tent where the wanderer is.
• 3-4 waterskins are recommended- remember, one will be taken from you by the wanderer right at the start. You will not need water within the city, and there are places to fill your water.
• Note that wearing a lot of weight will make you die faster in the desert. Take this into account- bring more waterskins if you are bringing a lot of armour and weapons with you.
• Note that jumping the pit is risky. You will not always make it, even if you have 100 run energy and nothing equipped.
• The level 80 Possessed Priest and one of Apmeken, Het, Crondis or Scabaras are not hard to defeat with the help of prayer.
