  • Equipment to breathe underwater:

  • A fishbowl helmet and a diving apparatus (reobtainable from Murphy in Port Khazard if you've lost them)

  • OR a Medallion of the Deep (counts as both helmet and apparatus)

  • 10 wooden cats – partial completion of The Great Brain Robbery is required to make these yourself, however they are tradeable and available at the Grand Exchange

  • 4 oak planks, a hammer, and a saw (if you are building your own crafting table and do not already have one; build in the Clockmaking space of the Workshop)

  • 10 planks (if making your own wooden cats)

  • 10 pieces of fur: fur, bear fur, or grey wolf fur (if making your own wooden cats) (wolf fur can be obtained during quest by killing Canifis townsfolk. Baraek sells them for 20 gold each. Furs from Hunter monsters will not work)

  • A hammer (Note: Imcando hammer does not work)

  • About 100 nails (38 are needed, but some—especially bronze or iron—may bend)

  • 8 normal planks (18 if making the wooden cats instead of buying them from the Grand Exchange)
