Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

It used to be possible to buy lots of pineapples and seaweed at the charter shops found in various locations in RuneScape, and one of the most popular was the one at Catherby. When shops were overhauled these were removed, but to let players still get a limited number of pineapples and seaweed each day, Arhein (the general store owner at Catherby) was given a limited stock of each. To access these resources, you must talk with him and ask to buy them. You are allowed to buy 40 pineapples and 80 seaweed per day; they only cost 2 gp each and sell for many multiples of that amount at the Grand Exchange. And since Jagex recently changed Arhein so he gives his items noted, the entire process is very quick.

The method here is identical for all levels, except for how you get to Catherby.

Note that while in the area, this is also a good time to check on your Farming patch in Catherby. Also, if you're after pineapples, don't forget to grab your daily quota of 40 free ones, a reward for completing the Karamja Achievement Diary!

Specific Method Details

At any bank, take out 240 gp and a Camelot teleport tablet. Break the tablet and run southeast to Catherby. Talk to Arhein and say you want to buy pineapples, then choose a quantity of 40. Go through the dialog until the pineapples appear. Now talk to him again and say you want to buy seaweed; select 80 as the quantity and click through the dialogs. Run to the Catherby bank and deposit everything; the whole process takes less than a minute.
