Dorgesh-Kaan is a small underground town, reached by going through Lumbridge Swamp Cave. It is inhabited by many Dorgeshuun Goblins and can be accessed upon completion of the Death To The Dorgeshuun quest. Dorgesh-Kaan was disclosed to the public before it's release date in March 2007.


Getting There

Method 1 Home Teleport icon

Use the Home Teleport to reach the courtyard of Lumbridge Castle. Walk into the castle and direct your character into the castle kitchen. Climb down the trapdoor and walk toward the southeast corner. You will notice a hole that leads into the Lumbridge Swamp Cave. It is recommended you have a light source to further navigate your way through the caves. Climb through the hole and located the goblin named Kazgar. Speak with him and he will take you to the Dorgeshuun mines. Upon your arrival, work your way south to a set of bone gates. Open the gates to enter Dorgesh-Kaan. This method requires no Magic Level or Runes.

Method 2 Lumbridge Teleport icon

Use the Lumbridge Teleport spell to reach the courtyard of Lumbridge Castle. Follow the same steps as explained in method one to reach the town. This method requires level 31 Magic, three air runes, one law rune, and one earth rune.

Method 3 Mushroom

You can use Fairy Rings to get to Dorgeshuun-Kaan, the code is AJQ. This will put you in the Dorgeshun cave. This is where the new Slayer monster is. You must head north to enter Dorgesh-kaan.

Method 4 Dorgesh-kaan Sphere

If you take one molten glass and two law runes to Orlak, who is a goblin in the city, he will make you a 'moving-place-device'. Basically, this is an orb that, when broken, teleports you into a random place within Dorgesh-Kaan. Orlak will make as many as you want as long as you supply all the materials.

Breaking the moving-place-device teleports you to a random place in dorgesh-kaan

(6) The Market

The Dorgush-Kaan market is a bustling and busy place for any surface-dweller attempting to make a small fortune.

The bustling marketplace

Bartering with the Gourmet goblins is an art in its own right. Before you can sell food to the 'Gourmet' you must gain permission from the council member. This will be explained later on. The best way to make money off them is to go to every single 'Gourmet' and offer a good price. Keep bartering until they accept that price. Remember each price they offer. Once you have gone through each one go back to the one that offered the most. If done right you can sell food for much over its real value, though it can be hard to get some of them to settle on prices. Once you have sold your food it is suggested that you use a new type of food and re-do the process.

The next person in the marketplace, who is worth talking too, is Reldak. He is the goblin, constantly, shouting 'Leather!'. He can sell you frog-skin leather armour. The armour itself is not the greatest, but for price to strength ratio, it is not a bad piece of armour. The stock amount of armour is 50 for each piece of equipment.

(7) Furnace and Anvil

This is a furnace that many people do not find useful. Nearby, there is a useful sandpit for sand collecting. If you, already, have soda ash, all you have to do is take the ash and a bucket of sand and make your glass. This can only be used for crafting and not for smelting.

(8) The Sandpit

This is a useful sandpit for those who have not yet completed Hand in the Sand. It is relatively close to a bank. With a furnace nearby, you can make molten glass and bank it quickly, if you bring some ash with you.

(9) Range

Here you can find a normal range. This range is more useful when glassmaking, because of the sandpit and furnace in the city. Players can burn their seaweed into soda ash and create molten glass at the furnace. Of course, this range is still useful for all your cooking needs.

(10) Another Slice of H.A.M.

This building contains Ur-Tag and Ambassador Alvijar. Both of these goblins are the start point for the quest, Another Slice of H.A.M.

You can tell who is a member of the Council because their name begins with 'Ur'. They are located throughout the city on both floors. The locations of the members of the High Council are as follows:

  • Ur-meg - She is found in a room that can be found by going South of the market and then West.
  • Ur-lun - He is found in the room South East of the range.

She is hard to find as she has been helping Oldak. Because she helps Oldak, she has many of his Dorgesh-Kaan teleports. After a while, she will break the device and teleport to somewhere else in Dorgesh-Kaan.

When you trade him the bones, he will, also, tell you how he uses bones in Construction and will give you some Construction experience, as long as you already have 30 construction. He is not only interested in bones. He, also, wishes to buy your shells. He wants the shells you get from snails and large tortoises. He will buy normal shells for 250 coins and 'perfect' ones for 500 coins. you can find him in a room at the end of the hallway just west of the marketplace.

Goblin Scribe

This is the secretary of the High Council. He writes up the minutes of the Council's meetings. Also, he is trying to write the definitive history of Dorgesh-Kaan. Unfortunately, he doesn't know what happened since the Dorgeshuun went underground. He needs you to fill in the information that he doesn't know. You could be truthful and help him right the definitive history, or you could get yourself written throughout the Dorgesh-Kaan history books. If you wish to be included, then help him answer like this:
