Talking to Ava.

  • Talk to Ava in the west wing of Draynor Manor. You have to search the bookshelf to open a secret door to get to her.
  • You find out she is the new assistant of the professor at the top of the manor. After talking for a while, she says she will make you something if you get her some things. She will tell you she needs two undead chickens.

Talking to Alice.

  • After finishing the conversation with Alice, talk to her husband located in the farm, near the undead cows. Keep on talking between Alice and her husband until you find out he wants to speak to her directly, but she cannot unless you get the Old Crone to make an amulet for the ghost of the farmer so that he can speak to her. Go to the crone, who is located in a small house on the east side of the Slayer Tower.
  • After talking to her, she gives you a crone-made amulet. Give this to Alice's husband. Talk to him again and an amusing cutscene involving a fake player character named Cow31337Killer (31337 being eleet in leet speak). Finally, after Alice's husband has successfully caught some chickens, he will offer to sell them to you.
  • Buy two chickens from Alice's husband for 20 ecto-tokens.

Magnet

Items needed: 5 iron bars, a hammer, Skills necklace for teleport to crafting guild, and your two undead chickens.

  • Get 5 iron bars and a hammer; head back to Ava, and give her the undead chickens. She will now need a magnet; talk to the witch in the north-west corner of the house, and give her the 5 iron bars. She will give you a selected iron. She will give you instructions on how to turn the bar into a magnet.

    Creating the bar magnet

  • Teleport with your skills necklace (or teleport to home if your house is at Rimmington or teleport to Pest Control minigame and take ship to Port Sarim and run from there) to the crafting guild then run south east towards the center of the mine (north-east of Rimmington), and use a hammer on the bar while facing north to turn it into a magnet. If you are not facing north, it will not work.
  • Give the magnet to Ava, and she will tell you her next request.
  • You will also get 50xp in Crafting when you give Ava the magnet and you will get the message "Your work with the magnet increases your Crafting experience slightly."

Undead Twigs

Items needed: Mithril axe, games necklace, and a holy symbol

Ava will now tell you she needs undead twigs from one of the undead trees around the manor. You will now need to cut one of Draynor's undead trees (not the normal dead trees that you can chop, but the type that attack you as you walk past).

Cutting the undead tree.

  • Try cutting an attacking tree; when this fails return to Ava and tell her. She will tell you to go see Turael, as he has been using the Slayer skill to figure out a way to defeat the undead trees.
  • Talk to Turael in Burthorpe he is the slayer master to the east, and he will tell you that he will give you a blessed axe in exchange for a mithril axe and a holy symbol (Use the games necklace to teleport to Burthorpe). Supply him with these two things, and he will give you the blessed axe, which can be used to cut the undead trees.
  • Go back to Draynor Manor, and chop an undead tree with the blessed axe. If successful, you will receive undead twigs. It is possible to fail at this if you do not have the proper Slayer level. If you do fail, simply click the tree again until you obtain the undead twigs.
  • Give Ava the twigs, and she will tell you she has almost completed the invention she is preparing for you, but her notes need translating.

Translating the Notes

Items needed: Hard leather and polished buttons
