- Start the quest. Talk to Redbeard Frank by the pub at the northern Port Sarim dock and agree to bring him some Karamjan rum.
- Smuggle the rum. Sail to Karamja for 30 coins, buy a Karamjan rum at the bar, grab 10 bananas, then place the rum in Luthas's crate and fill it with bananas. Take the boat back to Port Sarim.
- Get the key. Take a white apron from Gerrant's fishing store, get a job from Wydin in the food store while wearing it, and search the banana crate for your rum. Give the rum to Redbeard Frank for a key.
- Read the message. Go upstairs in the Blue Moon Inn in Varrock and use the key on the chest in the west room, then read the pirate message.
- Dig up the treasure. Head to Falador Park, dig, kill or outrun the level 4 Gardener, then dig again for the casket.
