Magic Carpets
Written By Bboyjyoung
Special Thanks to Salek, Steve, Flummoxer, Golden Arm42 Magic Carpets are only available to Members, and they are a much quicker way to travel through the Desert when compared to conventional walking. It's somewhat expensive to use these flying carpets, although if you need to get somewhere in a hurry, they are worth it. A Magic Carpet Ride To go on a carpet ride, you'll need to travel to 1 of the towns or cities in the desert south of Al Kharid. Of course, before entering the desert you should always bring Desert Robes, Boots, and a full Waterskin or 2, along with a Knife in case of an emergency (for cutting open water-filled cacti). Rug Merchant Inside
any of the various cities found in the Desert should be a Rug Merchant,
marked by a Carpet Station  The Carpet Rides don't take very long, but you must pay 200gp for each trip. Be warned that some places are only 1-way rides, including the Bedabin Camp, Uzer, Sophanem and Menaphos. When you try to take another carpet ride from those cities, you'll find that you can only fly back to where you've come from. Hint: if you complete the Rogue Trader Mini-Game, the price for taking a Carpet Ride will be reduced to 100gp. If you have a Ring Of Charos (a), you can further have the price reduced to 75gp by charming the merchant. There are 2 Pollnivneach Carpet Stations; the north and the south. The northern station goes to the Shantay Pass while the southern one goes to Sophanem and Menaphos.  Some players may find that these Carpet Stations are especially useful in swapping between normal magic and Ancient Magicks. You must pray at the Pyramid from the Desert Treasure Quest to swap between the 2 kinds of spells, so this will be a much quicker way to get there! Quests Before being able to take a Magic Carpet to certain towns, you'll need to complete a quest:
The Monkeys The merchants always seem to complain about how much a pain the monkeys are. If you have an Amulet of M'Speak you can talk to the Monkey, but it only wants Bananas and it keeps being rude. There doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it. The Infamous Carpet
You can find this Infamous Non-Magical carpet upstairs in the Al Kharid palace. It has its own glass casing to preserve it over time. |

Back in '76, the Grand Sultan of Al Kharid mistook his doormat
for a racing rug and jumped off a high balcony of his palace. He fell to his
death (as the mat wasn't magic), and soon after the townspeople banned carpet
travel.
